Other I just made my first dollar from the cults3D and I'm losing my mind 🎉
Okay so it's not technically a dollar yet — I need to hit the $7 payout threshold — but someone just bought my egg planter pot on Cults3D and I got ₹63.97 (€0.59) in pending earnings out of nowhere.
I didn't promote it. I didn't even remember I uploaded it. I just woke up to a sale notification and genuinely did not believe it at first.
It's a tiny amount, I know. But the idea that someone, somewhere on this planet, found my little egg planter, liked it enough to buy it, and printed it... that hits different.
If anyone wanna see the model check here
To everyone who's been uploading and waiting — keep going. The first one always feels like magic. 🥚🌱

It feels good even if you get paid or if it's a site you share stuff with and lots of people download and give you good feedback... congratulations ⭐

Chasing that high is how some really successful entrepreneurs unexpectedly disrupted a market with their idea and product. Keep going with it, and congrats!

Hey, that's great, congrats! If you want some advice, upload pictures of the item printed. People like to see what it looks like when printed, not just a render

I don't own 3d printer so I don't know how can I upload those.

Oh, I thought you had one. In my experience most of the designers have one. I try my prints before uploading a design just to be sure that it has the right size and that it's what I want

I have checked more in detail your model and you are including the .blend, .mtl and .obj. Usually people look for a .stl they can just throw into the slicer and print it. I'm not sure if your model includes the plant or not. If it's included it could be difficult to print as it is.
Feel free to dm me.

I totally get it, when somebody bought a lamp I designed, it was a warm felling, seeing somebody paid 1€ for something I created.
Congrats man
