Tips for selling product prototypes

- Offer a mesh-only edition and a parametric source edition as options.
- Explain which features are parametric and how to change them.
- Spell out whether buyers may build and sell products derived from your design.
- Don't sell designs owned by an employer or client.
Start a product design file marketplace
Build a marketplace where hardware designers share enclosures, mechanisms and concept models under your own brand and domain. Set documentation and licensing requirements, and let each designer sell from their own shop with their own payment account.

Questions about selling product prototypes
How do I protect my design when selling source files?
Write clear license terms and consider selling a mesh-only edition alongside a higher-tier source edition for buyers who need to modify it.
Can I include electronics or code with a prototype?
You can include documentation and files you own. Make sure any code is your own or properly licensed, and free of anything harmful.
Can buyers ask me for custom changes?
Yes, buyers can message you from the listing. You can quote custom work separately.
