I am a programmer but I prefer physical object business.
During Corona self isolation, I started creating and selling filament:
I documented the journey here:

The price of filament is still going up.
Since selling filament I am working partime, mostly doing maintenance (updates/patches) existing application.
- Nextgrid 6y agoIs this viable in the long term? Why can’t the major plastic manufacturers push you out of business thanks economies of scale and lower prices?
- econcon 6y agoI never think about what will happen in future, tomorrow I might as well fall under the bus and die. Planning way ahead doesn't help me, I just jump into whatever I find interesting then ride the tide till it's no more. You can also check on YouTube there is a Canadian I think? Company called ProtoPasta which also makes filament in small shop. Filament market I think, isn't big enough for the large companies to dominate. And other thing is logistics, I make locally I can offer cheaper rates to local buyers shipping locally.
