How to sell 3D prints on Etsy and at conventions

Updated 2026-10-19. Not legal advice. A merchant license in this directory covers physical prints only. It never allows sharing or selling the digital files. Prices and rules are taken from the linked source on each listing's last-verified date. "Unverified" means the source did not say.

People search for how to do this legally. This page is a checklist of what the merchant licenses in this directory actually say. It is not a substitute for the designer's current terms, for marketplace rules, or for advice from a lawyer. Etsy, conventions and local laws can restrict a product even when a designer allows the print.

Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Amazon Handmade and Vinted publish their own fees and handmade rules. Those pages are summarized, with links, in selling 3D prints on Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Amazon Handmade and Vinted. For a market table, best 3D prints to sell at craft shows separates booth ideas from the listings that actually allow in-person sales.

Check these before you list a physical print

  1. Are you on a tier whose source text grants commercial rights today, not a personal-use tier?
  2. Does that same text allow your channel? A yes is explicit. Unverified is not a yes.
  3. Do you owe credit, a shop registration, or a limit on using their photos?
  4. Does an IP note say the model is fan art or someone else's characters? The designer's tier cannot grant those rights.
  5. What happens when you cancel? In this directory, selling rights are tied to an active subscription unless a listing quotes a different rule.
  6. Are you selling the object, never the STL, 3MF or other file?

The longer version of how these licenses are structured is How merchant licenses work.

Listings whose stored source text names Etsy

9 listings name Etsy in a tier note, channel note or rule. 7 of those also have online marked yes. 1 restrict Etsy or the large marketplaces named beside it. A designer's own Etsy shop, mentioned only in the catalog description, is not counted here. Read the channel note on each row.

Channels: Commercial Membership and Early Bird name Etsy, marketplaces, your own website, local markets, commissions and small wholesale orders. Broader supply to shops, retailers and distributors is the Wholesale Commercial License, which requires prior approval. Factory-scale production is outside the lower tiers.

IP: Fan art is not included in the commercial license. The creator says sellers are responsible for checking whether selling a fan-art print is allowed.

  • The license is for physical 3D-printed products only, and only while the paid membership is active.
  • No selling, sharing, uploading or giving away digital files (STL, 3MF or other).
  • No remixes or derivative digital files, and no molds or cast copies, without written permission.
  • Mass factory production, large-scale retail distribution, and wholesale beyond the tier you are on need written permission.
  • When the membership ends, the commercial license ends and listings and ads for subscription-based models should be removed.
  • The Wholesale tier is issued to one approved person or business. Partners may resell finished products you manufacture, and may not receive the files.
  • The tier text says iOS in-app purchases can include Apple's 30% fee, and tells buyers to join on the Patreon website to avoid it.

In-person selling explicitly allowed

17 listings mark in person as yes. That is the flag to read before a market, fair or convention booth. 5 listings also use the word "convention" somewhere in the stored text, which can mean wearing a prop rather than selling one. The channel flag is the stricter field.

FAQ

Does a merchant license let me upload the STL to Etsy?

No. Merchant licenses in this directory cover the physical print. They do not allow sharing or selling the file.

If online is marked yes, is Etsy specifically allowed?

Online means the source explicitly allowed some kind of online selling, which in this directory includes shops and marketplaces. It does not mean every marketplace named the word Etsy. Use the "names Etsy" table when you need the source to have said Etsy.

If a channel is unverified, can I sell there?

The source did not say. Unverified is not permission. Read the linked terms or ask the designer before you list on Etsy or book a convention table.

Do convention sales count as in person?

When a listing marks in person as yes, the source explicitly allowed markets, fairs, conventions or a physical shop. If the source only says "conventions" in a sentence about wearing a prop, that is not recorded as permission to sell.
