  Hah, when you put it that way… But no, it still has some repeat customers, that buy custom trophies, I’ve got a customer wanting me to make molds for them to use for jewelry making, the etay shop has close to 1000 sales and like 250ish 5 star reviews. But I’m guessing with a stament like that, you aren’t someone motivated to build on that and take it to the next level

    If you don’t do anything but fulfill orders from those repeat customers, what is your expected revenue next month?

    For example, when I sold my business it was 2x annual revenue. That is I made $2M / year from repeat customers so got $4m.

      Not enough to justify the time spent.

        Slant3d ships around 500 prints per day and is growing. So I disagree with the others that say it’s dying.
