Is it worth selling Drum and studio accessories?

Q: Is it worth selling Drum and studio accessories?

Worth testing, with a score of 55 out of 100. Rack tube sizes are standard, which makes clamp fit simple, but the audience is small and evidence is thin. It works as a bundle for e-drum owners, and fails as a single low-priced Etsy item.

A typical product here: Studio headphone hook

Where each $12.00 sale goes

Filament, power, your time $4.39Marketplace fees $1.59Left from this sale $6.02

One sale ties up the printer for about 1.5 hours. $6.02 ÷ 1.5 h = $4.01 per print hour.

At the typical product's mid price, if it sells. Shipping not included.

Why it can work

Few sellers compared with other products
Low brand or licence risk if the design is your own
Seasonal demand: Christmas, my estimate

Why it might fail

Thin public evidence, so treat these numbers with care

Be aware before you sell

The Make Anything microphone holder on Thangs sits behind a membership, so read its commercial terms. Low for original designs; rack and hardware brand names should only state fit. Etsy asks for your own original design, so a licensed file may not qualify.

How to get a file you may sell

Make your own. Tinkercad is free and enough for simple shapes.
Buy a commercial licence. Many designers on Cults3D, MyMiniFactory and Etsy sell one. Read what it allows.
Use open licences. CC0 and CC BY allow selling prints. NC does not. Filter by licence on Printables or MakerWorld and keep a screenshot.
