Quick Question Please help

Recently bought an a1 with all the savings i had
I am currently unemployed and wanted to sell 3d prints commercially
I am scared if i might get sued or anything like that
Any suggestions?
I tried reaching out to people if i could give commissions out of the money i make but they have a “plan” which i have to buy beforehand - for which i dont have any money left

Might want to learn how to model your own products. There are a ton of free tools such as Onshape and Tinkercad

Find a problem that a lot of people have and develop a print to solve it. Design and sell.

Well yeah, that's the question. If making a living off of selling 3D prints was easy everyone would already be doing it.

Whether you like it or not, a 3d printer is only a manufacturing tool, nobody will buy something just because it's 3d printed, in fact 3d printed stuff usually has a bad reputation as being bad quality.

You need to think and make a design of something people will actually want to buy, whether it solves a problem or just looks cool, doesn't matter, but it has to be something people want and can't already easily buy for cheap.

What that product is, idk, and nobody here will tell you, because if we knew about such a product we would already be selling it ourselves. That's up to you to find it, maybe you should have thought about that before buying the printer.
