I have excelled with 3d printing and have become pretty knowledgeable within that space overall. I want to make my 3d printer useful and start making money with it. I hope to be able to expand into other CNC machines as well, my goal with that being to have easy access to a variety of machines that my family and friends could have access to, but ya know baby steps, so I want to start out with my 3d printer I will likely have to build more of them too if I want to get more serious about this.
I am struggling to come up with something I could do involving CNC machining that I could turn into a business despite reading about a variety of ways I could do this.
I guess I just need to do some market assessment...I just don't know where I should start with this, what directions to go in. Writing this out is helping me figure out my thoughts a little bit.
If anyone has any thoughts they would like to contribute I would appreciate your time, maybe this stuff will help someone else too. This would be my first attempt at starting any side hustles or businesses or anything of the sort.
