When Austin Ziegler decided to start selling 3D-printed products on Etsy, he knew very little about the marketplace. "I'd heard that if you make stuff at home, Etsy is a good platform to sell on," the 27-year-old engineer told Business Insider. "I didn't make a single sale in the first four months I had it on Etsy," said Ziegler, who opened his online shop, Ziggy Zig Designs , in April 2022. When he took a step back to evaluate his business he realized, "I have zero sales on Etsy, I'm a brand new company, I have no reviews. His ornament even did $10,000 worth of sales in one week in 2023, which Insider verified by looking at screenshots of his Etsy dashboard.

That's when he listed what would become his next best-selling product: a gas can ornament with a compartment for stashing cash. He built seller credibility by listing inexpensive products to drive sales and reviewsWhen the first product Ziegler listed ​​— the battery cases — didn't sell, he shifted his strategy. Ziegler's first product that hit: a travel soap box. Instead of abandoning the idea, Ziegler thought about ways he could make his product stand out. Now that he has a handful of bestselling items, though, "I'm doing a lot more Etsy fulfillment and a lot less design."

The very first product Ziegler listed for sale fell into the latter category. "So then I started just 3D printing products and trying to sell them on Etsy." Ziegler started his 3D printing business, Ziggy Zig Designs, with two Prusa printers and filament. He also bought 3D printing filament and downloaded a design software called SolidWorks . He shipped two more 3D printers to his place in Portland and cut his trip short to assemble the printers and start fulfilling orders.
