I started 3D printing as a hobby back in 2021, not too long after, a friend reached out asking me to make something for them as part of a cosplay costume. Soon after I started getting more requests from people. In 2022, I decided to start running a side business and opened up a Facebook business page. I actively marketed products and tried to grow the page, this involved making posts in other Facebook groups, regularly posting,  I even sat down with the management at Cineworld Ashton to arrange displaying some 3D printed models and designed posters with a QR code for the general public to access. 

​

Recently, I had to part ways with the co-founder of the business, due to him being more of a silent partner and not contributing to the page and its growth. Since then, I have started a TikTok account for the business and have built a healthy following and get regular views on posts. The page has also grown following this and I have a steady stream of orders coming through the page. I actively engage with all customers, provide regular updates and liaise with them on the design process.
