Yeah there have been a few tables with that no commercial license stuff. For sure.
Comment on Has anyone sold or otherwise handed off their 3d printing business?

You can probably blame the people selling 3d printed dragons and other slop at conventions for your sales drying up, assuming you don’t sell those. That fully made people think that 3d printing was a novelty, unfortunately.

3D printing is extremely more accessible than it was 5 years ago. Most people who go to these craft fairs probably know someone who has, or has access to, a 3D printer. They are available at local libraries in many places. And most importantly, even $200-300 models are very reliable and easier to use now. These businesses are a dime a dozen on Etsy. YouTube has been flooded with videos of people saying “I made X in just one year 3D printing.” Since OP knows how to design they probably should have focused on 3D design and printing services for businesses using engineering materials instead of craft fairs.

But that type of 3D printing is already ruled by CNC companies who can invest hundreds of thousands in the equipment, and have CAD experts. But even that has changed, as many companies are bringing engineering printing in house.
Rule of business: don’t get into something anyone can do easily. This is why almost all restaurants fail within the first two years.
