Scores and profit per print hour are our estimates. Etsy numbers come from a sample of listings, so they are estimates too. From a sample of 3,213 Etsy listings tagged as 3D printed, exported 10 and 11 November 2026 with a third-party Etsy research tool. Medians from that sample, so estimates, not sales data.
