I just feel like 3d printing business are everywhere and that i would stand no chance. Im not even sure how to find prints, But i can still dream… right? I would possibly be better off getting a job.

Have you tried starting a 3d print business or is it more as a hobby or both?

    There is nothing wrong with this idea. But going all in, quitting your job, and taking out huge loans to start a business is risky.

    I suggest doing one of two things.

    1. Open shop in your free time after work. Only invest money you already have. When the business is taking up all your free time, and you are profitable, and you have more work already in the pipeline, then consider pulling the trigger.

    2. Get a job at an existing 3d printing company. Learn not just the tech, but the business side - niches, sales, profit margins, etc. Make connections. Then find your own niche and start at (1).
