What about advertising your product? I've heard that that is exceptionally difficult these days.

  One approach is to write a blog posting about how you created your product and get it on the front page of Hacker News

    ... which is not particularly useful if your target user does not intersect with the HN demographic.

  Indeed, advertising suffers from a severe signal-to-noise problem. Like the OP, I make a hobby related product as a side hustle. There are some sources of word-of-mouth advertising through web forums for enthusiasts. Usually you have to give something before you can get something back, and respect the forum rules. I never mention my product unless someone specifically asks. Also, I was an established member of a forum before I ever even dreamt up my product. I made a couple to give away, and another forum member wrote up a review. The rest is history. ;-)

    What’s the name of your product? Do you have a page with pictures of it and descriptions of what it does?
