01Why now

Etsy changed the rules for printed things.

Since June 2025, Etsy’s Creativity Standards say that items made with a 3D printer must be based on the seller’s own original design. A design you licensed from someone else, even with a commercial licence, now puts the listing at risk.

And every sale still pays for the privilege: a listing fee, 6.5% of the order, payment processing, and up to 15% more when one of Etsy’s ads brought the buyer. The customer is Etsy’s, not yours. You can’t email them about your next batch.

On your own shop, the only rules are yours and your licences’.

02What you get

A shop, a quote desk and a workshop, built for printing.

Every screenshot here is the working demo shop, a made-up studio running the real software. The marks say what’s in the demo today and what arrives at launch.

The demo shop’s front page: a headline, a still life of printed pieces with dimension lines, and buttons for a price or the shop.
Fig. 1Your front page, with your name, colours and products. This is the demo shop, Gyroid Studio.

A shop with your name on the door.

Your products, your prices and your address on the web. Customers find you, buy from you and come back to you. You can thank them, tell them what’s new, and quote their next idea, with nobody else’s listing next to yours.

  • Your name, colours and logoIn the demo today
  • A catalogue with sizes, materials and coloursIn the demo today
  • Order tracking customers check for themselvesIn the demo today
  • Your own domainAt launch
  • Your customer list, to email or exportAt launch
The instant quote: a phone stand on a virtual build plate, its measurements, material choices and an estimate of $11.06.
Fig. 2A customer drops in their file and gets your price in seconds.

A price from the customer’s file, not an email thread.

They drop in an STL, 3MF or OBJ and see it on your build plate with its size, weight and print time, priced from your own rates. You look at every request and confirm the price before anything prints.

  • STL, 3MF and OBJ up to 50 MBIn the demo today
  • Checks it fits your printers, and flags supports and thin wallsIn the demo today
  • Priced from your materials, machine rate and minimum orderIn the demo today
  • Measured again on the server, so nobody sets their own priceIn the demo today
The workshop’s Today page: new requests, the queue, orders ready for pickup, cash this week, printers running, and low filament.
Fig. 3The workshop side: what’s new, what’s printing, what’s ready and what’s running low.

A workshop that knows what every print costs.

Requests become quotes, then jobs on a printer, then parcels on the shelf. Each printer has its own queue you reorder by dragging, and filament is tracked by the spool. At launch, drop in the sliced file and Gyroid takes the filament off your stock and shows the profit on the order.

  • Orders, quotes and customer messagesIn the demo today
  • A queue for each printerIn the demo today
  • Filament stock with reorder levelsIn the demo today
  • Sliced-file import that deducts the filamentAt launch
  • Cost and profit on every orderAt launch

Where the money goes

Customer Your Stripe account Your bank

Stripe charges its standard 2.9% + 30¢. Gyroid charges nothing on the sale.

Customer You, at collection

Cash on collection or delivery, as the demo shop runs today. Nothing in between.

Fig. 4Two ways to be paid, and neither goes through us.

Cash or card. We take nothing from either.

Take cash when people collect, or card payments through your own Stripe account, straight to your bank. Gyroid is a flat monthly price. It never takes a percentage of what you sell, however well you do.

  • Cash on collection and local deliveryIn the demo today

Drop in a sliced file from Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer or Cura. You get the true cost of each piece, a price at the margin you want, and what that sale leaves you on Etsy against your own shop. Your file is read in your browser and never uploaded.

06The demo shop

Walk around a real Gyroid shop.

Gyroid Studio is a made-up studio in a made-up town, running the real software. Browse the shop, follow an order, and get an instant quote for a file of your own. Nothing you send is printed, and nobody will ask you to pay.

The printer queue: five printers with their jobs, statuses and time left.

07Questions

Straight answers.

Something else? Email hello@gyroid.example.

Do you take a cut of my sales?

No, not on any plan. Card payments go straight to your own Stripe account, and Stripe charges its usual fee (2.9% + 30¢ in the US). Cash costs nothing.

Is Gyroid another marketplace?

No. It’s your own website at your own address. Customers come to you by your name, your socials and word of mouth, and they stay your customers: you can email them, and they come back to you rather than to a page of your competitors.

Can I keep selling on Etsy?

Yes. Plenty of sellers will keep Etsy for being found and send repeat customers to their own shop. The price tool shows what each sale leaves you on both.

Which files can customers upload for a quote?

STL, 3MF and OBJ, up to 50 MB. The file is measured in the customer’s browser, then measured again on your shop’s server, so nobody can set their own price. You confirm every quote before anything prints.

Which printers does it know?

Any FDM or resin printer: you give it the bed size. There are presets for Bambu Lab (A1 mini, A1, P1S, P2S, X1 Carbon, H2D), Prusa (MK4S, CORE One, XL, MINI+), Creality, Elegoo, Anycubic and Voron, and a few resin printers.

What does the demo shop show, and what comes at launch?

The demo runs the real software: the shop, instant quotes, order tracking, cash on collection, and the workshop side with orders, printer queues and filament. Card payments, your own domain, sliced-file import and profit on each order arrive at launch.

When does it launch?

We’re building it now, with ten founding shops. The waitlist hears first.

What do you do with my details?

We keep your email and whatever you tell us about your shop, to let you know about Gyroid. We don’t share them, and we’ll delete them whenever you ask. More on privacy.
