A cheap 3D print order can lose money even when the filament cost looks tiny.
I’m testing a Google Sheets profitability tracker for small 3D print sellers and print-farm operators.
The goal is simple: help sellers check whether specific products/orders are actually profitable after the costs that usually get ignored:
- filament/materials
- failed prints and waste
- labor/touch time
- machine time
- marketplace/payment fees
- packaging
- shipping
- small parts like magnets, screws, boxes, inserts, etc.
The sample test case shows the exact problem I’m trying to catch: one product looks healthy, but a lower-priced order goes negative once fees, packaging, labor, machine time, and real costs are included.
I’m looking for 2–3 serious testers who already sell 3D printed products and are willing to test with real numbers.
Best fit:
- Etsy, Shopify, local, Facebook Marketplace, craft fair, custom print, or small print-farm sellers
- At least a few real products/SKUs
- Willing to enter real cost/order numbers
- Willing to give blunt feedback after testing
- Interested in knowing which products are actually worth selling
No payment required. I’m not trying to sell it right now — I’m trying to find out whether this is genuinely useful or just another spreadsheet.
If you’re interested, comment here or message me with what kind of 3D print selling you do.
