Personal Interests 

During Coronavirus lockdowns I decided to adventure into 3D Printing as a hobby, after research I purchased a very basic model, being an Ender 3, which in today's standards is a fairly basic machine which requires lots of manual understanding of the machine from the user to get good results, however, I was looking for a challenge... 

I purchased the printer and plenty of filament (plastic) to start printing models other people had created to decorate my living space, as well as to create gifts for other people, I quickly realised there weren't too many models that I was interested in, therefore I started developing my own models for my personal use, these models were always straightforward, such as converting SVG files to separate different colours to allow the single colour printer to create high-quality models of various colours. 

I shared images of these models in fandom groups on Facebook and a large proportion of people displayed interest in purchasing these physical models from me, throughout a few months I sold over £300 worth of these models to people all around the United Kingdom, utilising this money to upgrade my 3D printer with newer accessories to further my hobby. Once University restarted from the summer I concluded I didn't have time to manage selling these physical models. I decided to list the files for sale on a popular 3D printing file store. 

To date, I have made a further £220 with over 100 sales of my files, with no further effort. 

Overall, this experience taught me much about customer satisfaction, marketing and creating assets. I continue to print models with my newer BambuLab P1S printer however I haven't returned to selling models recently, below are some images of models I have printed in my spare time, including a life-size Pennywise which is a continued project which still requires painting...
