How Etsy Fulfilment Works with Printhaus
Upload your design files
Upload your STL or 3MF files to your Printhaus dashboard. We support files up to 50MB and you can store as many designs as you like. Each file is priced instantly by print weight.
Save your designs as products
Configure each design (colour, material, quality, infill) once and save it as a named product in your Printhaus dashboard. You can re-order any saved product in a couple of clicks — no need to re-configure it each time.
List on Etsy with your own photos
Print a sample (or use Printhaus mockups), photograph it, and list it on Etsy at the price you choose. You'll need to list Printhaus as your production partner in Etsy's settings — they require this for handmade items.
Fulfil each order in a couple of minutes
When a customer buys from your Etsy shop, log into Printhaus, select the saved product, enter the customer's shipping address, and pay the print cost. We ship directly to your buyer within 1–3 days. Automatic Etsy syncing is in development.

What Are the Margins for Etsy 3D Print Sellers?
Etsy buyers actively seek personalised and unique items — and pay premium prices for them. Margins of 4–8× your print cost are achievable for well-photographed, personalised products. Here are realistic examples:
| Item | Est. Weight | Print Cost | Etsy Price | Your Margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personalised keyring | ~18g | £1.44 | £8–12 | £6.56–10.56 |
| Geometric earrings | ~8g | £0.64 | £10–18 | £9.36–17.36 |
| Custom name sign | ~50g | £4.00 | £18–28 | £14.00–24.00 |
| Small plant pot | ~80g | £6.40 | £14–22 | £7.60–15.60 |
| Listed at your price | varies | from £0.08/g | you decide | you keep |
Etsy charges 0.20 USD per listing plus a 6.5% transaction fee + payment processing. Factor these into your listing price. Etsy sellers offering free shipping consistently rank higher in search — most successful sellers build shipping cost into their product price.

Frequently Asked Questions
