Topic: I'm selling my handmade dolls online!

[Blondbraid]

I've been doing 3D printing for some time now, and I just wanted to say that I've taken 3D printed dolls to the next level, and even started selling them on Etsy! 
What do you all think? Any tips on where to find buyers? https://www.etsy.com/se-en/shop/GalateaDolls

Cute! It's interesting that from going to 2d from 3d it still has that "Blondbraid" art style.

Thanks, that's so nice to hear!

Those look great ~ what about filming one getting printed and then publishing a 10x speed run of it to YouTube? Probably something satisfying to watch and could spark some buyer interest.

I just realised by looking at the topic: do 3d printed dolls count as handmade?

Nice idea, I'll try it once I get the opportunity. (sadly, my printer has some trouble printing recently, and it might take a while to get it working again  )

Well, you're right that the plastic doll itself was printed, but I made the 3D model myself in Maya (which took a lot of trial and error), and the faces are hand-painted and their hair and all clothing is made by hand,
plus I need to smooth out all rough edges on the dolls with a small knife once they're fresh off the printer. Is that enough handiwork for you to accept it as handmade?
