Hey peeps,
I'm a motion graphic artist and wanting to take my career to the next level and possibly generate income through bringing my art to life by 3d printing. I've been thinking for awhile about making 3d jewlerry/figures for people to wear or for home decor and was just wondering if anyone has experience from doing this and if it's possible to make a career out of it.
I've been modeling 3d for awhile now and was wandering if it's worth while opening a online store on artistic websites such as etsy and sell my creations? Also wandering if it is possible to print polished metal I want to work low budget so don't mind if it's silver or not I just want people to be able to afford my artwork but to also have the look of a almost mirrored silver.
Can anyone recommend me any good websites/companies that 3d print metals I'm also living in Australia at the moment if anyone knows of any companies in Australia that would be awesome aswell.
I have lots of ideas and would really like to turn my ideas into a possible future career

No. With a desktop tier FDM printer. All you can get are some plastic prototypes. You first need high 3d moddeling skills if you want to get something of high quality or design level stuff. Etsy is full of shit. You have a long way to go as a 'motion graphics artist. Learn tridimensional object design, Associate with a 3D artist, and a jewel maker, make some good quality wax prototypes (there are many wax 3D printers) or learn to cast jewel wax, know the processes and materials, before 3D printing anything. Fdm hobby 3D printing has to many limitations to be perceive as a final production stage of real products. Its just an intermediate step.
Pic related is a 2 hour design , 3d modelling and printing teat on a friends 3d printing. Had to print that shit 3 times and is in medium resolution . Took an extra 39 minutes, then sanding with 400 sand paper just to quick detail the 'edge' and yes its a shit design but it works for a first run. Also industrial design major.

That's very shit model and post. Probably the only thing that you got right was "know processes and materials" but it's so very vague.
