Chris Koerner pitches a 3D printer business: buy a $1,000 printer, make Crocs-style sandals, use ChatGPT to generate custom designs. Material costs $5-$15 per pair. He claims you could make $10k+ a month with minimal risk.

Look at this friggin thing right here. Did you know you can buy a 3D printer for about a thousand bucks that can print a fully functional pair of crocs? Here's how I would take this idea and turn it into a business making ten grand plus a month. So first of all, you can't print Crocs directly and sell or you'll get sued six ways past Sunday. But here's what you can do. You can use ChatGPT to give you dozens of different designs that are kind of like Crocs but not quite. The future of commerce is one to one. Yes, people will always pay for mass manufacturing, but we want something bespoke. To make a pair of sandals like this would cost you between 5 and $15 in materials. But you can use ChatGPT. All of these designs. You can make things that are hilarious or customized to the person. And the more custom you get means that you can sell these for whatever you want. Yes, even hundreds of dollars. Worst case, you learn a lot about 3D printing and have some fun. Best case, you have a thriving business on your hands.
