There are several types of CNC milling machine buyers. Some decide to buy a machine due to a need in production. In this case, the question can be considered closed, the machine makes money for its owner by producing products. Another type of buyer becomes the owner of a CNC machine and is inspired by the variety of possibilities of the machine. After all, you can do "almost anything" on the machine. And after the rose-colored fog clears and the first skills of machine tool control are acquired, the search for sources of income begins. Ways to earn money on a CNC machine is a lot: making decorative items from wood, furniture production, making model tooling. The list can go on for a long time.
Almost everyone knows this resource for selling things made by their own hands - ETSY. This is where you can try to sell your first products. And to begin with, let's study the samples of works and their cost. Let's go!
10TH PLACE - WALNUT MONOGRAM
The carving is simple, but the finish is not bad.
Price: 100 USD
9TH PLACE - WALL PANEL MADE OF PINE.
Artistic value is doubtful, but nevertheless.
Price: 260 USD
8TH PLACE - COFFEE TABLE "THAMES"
An ordinary wooden panel, through which "flows" the river Thames cut out on a CNC milling machine.
Price: 300 USD
7TH PLACE - WHO WANTS A ROCKING CHAIR?
Birch plywood
Price: 345 USD
6TH PLACE - HELLO!
The word "Hello" made of plywood cut on a CNC router and coated with "gold" spray paint
Price: 400 USD
The case when a word is worth its weight in gold! Hmmm... I always thought that silence is gold.
5TH PLACE - COFFEE TABLE IN THE FORM OF A HONEYCOMB.
In general, this table is unremarkable. Its trick is that the center honeycombs have a "honey" of copper in them
Price: 440 USD
It seems to me, quite an acceptable price tag for an exclusive product.
4TH PLACE - DECORATIVE COMPOSITION "WINE BARREL".
This sample is made of a piece of an old wine barrel. The picture is cut out on a CNC machine
Price: 550 USD
Most likely the value of the product is in the fact that used a piece of an old barrel, soaked in wine for many years.
3RD PLACE - WALL PANEL MADE OF MAPLE WOOD
Price: 1400 USD
For what!!! 1400 bucks, WOW!
2ND PLACE - ORIGAMI TABLE AND CHAIR.
Plywood, piano hinges, glass.
Price: 2950 USD
No doubt, the idea is cool, the table can be easily folded and unfolded, but this price tag seems a bit steep to me. Maybe I just don't understand anything about art
Oh, by the way, would you like a couple chairs? I'll take a set. At a reasonable price.
Price: 800 USD for one chair.
1ST PLACE - "DAY BY DAY" PAINTING
The winner of the rating put up for sale the MDF backing that he used on his machine to cut out the details. According to the craftsman, he used it for several months in his projects. It's certainly dear to him as a memory and all that, but why such a price and why is he selling it at all? Anyway, whatever it is - it's the hit of today's selection!
Price: 5000 USD
And yes, I wish the author from the bottom of my heart to find a buyer for this work of techno art!
That's all for today. I will still look for ways to earn money on a CNC milling machine and I will definitely share the results with you! As you have realized, you can make money on any nonsense, the main thing is to make it well and on quality CNC equipment
