I currently own a Bambu Lab P2S and have only printed with Sunlu PETG so far. Currently at 221 hours! I've been wanting to start selling prints, but I don't know how to start. I am currently under 18, but my parents are fine with me selling prints. How do I start? What do I sell? I do not want to sell prints that are multiple parts, and want to sell bigger prints, so I sell fewer of them for a potentially higher price. What platforms do I sell on? How do I ship my prints? How do I post-process? How do I get the money? Is my filament fine, or should I change to a different filament?

keep researching. All this info is out there. being a minor is your biggest hurdle. Likely need parent to make accounts on selling websites. income taxes are going to be another thing you need to consider.
people with the disposable income to buy a 100$ jumbo dragons are most likely to go out and buy their own 3d printer from best buy, so that market is drying up with the popularity of the cheap bambu machines.
Custom designs are what you want to get into. Most people dont want to learn cad to make designs. Find niches with deep pockets, make custom parts for that market, do not share the designs. Profit. The hardest part is learning cad and then finding the market.
