Charlie, I don’t know if you’re aware of the VCF swap meet sometime in June. It is usually a pretty decent event and yes, there will be competition on selling your stuff, but bring as much stuff as you can. You really won’t be disappointed unless, of course, the weather turns ugly.
Another large outdoor event (indoor also) is the Sussex County fairgrounds Hamfest on July 14th
The 2024 SCARC Hamfest will be held July 14th 2024
Gates open at 6:00am for sellers/tailgaters 8:00am for buyers 270,000 square feet (Six Plus Acres!) of outdoor tailgate space and 10,000 square feet of indoor space. Food, Door Prizes and Ample Parking too!

you're honoring people's licenses & giving credit when/where appropriate

Other drive sleds are popular too. Expansion slot filler blanks or port
mounts for things like joystick ports etc. come to mind as well for the
Macs & Apple IIs. Probably lots of other things I'm not thinking of right
now.
Good luck!

I'm thinking of being a vendor at next year's VCF East or the year after

printers.
If I 3D printed brackets and adapters and more and sold them, what do you
guys always seem to need for your projects? Hard drive sleds? SCSI2SD
adapters for old Macintosh computers? Floppy EMU cases?
My 3d modeling skills are 0/10 so these things need to exist on
Thingiverse

But I'll download Fusion 360 and try and figure out something, so if you
