Requirements

You need a 3D printer. It can cost you a lot of money, for instance the industrial scale 3D printer can cost you more than $10K and professional 3D printer can cost you $3k-$10k, however, you can try with hobbyist 3D printer that cost between $400 and $1000 or enthusiastic 3D printers that cost $1k-$3k.

You need a computer and a design software installed on your computer, Interestingly, most 3D printers come with design software.

You also need skills to design objects. You need skills t use programs like Autodesk AutoCAD, SketchUp, etc.

Once everything is set up, you can start printing different items and sell them through your own store or ecommerce marketplaces.
 
If you can use design software, if you are a good designer, if you have some money to spare, creating products with 3D printers and selling them online or offline can be a good business. These days people like customized products, that's why instead of buying mass-manufactured products, they are buying handmade products. Therefore, the products you create through 3D printers can be easily sold. There is nothing you cannot create through 3D printers, however, the kind of products you are trying to sell must be in high demand. You can create and sell action figurines or toys. But the figurines and toys you print with 3D printers are comparatively more expensive than the mass-produced ones. Therefore, you need to create products that are not already saturated in the market. Perhaps, taking personalized orders, printing the order, and shipping the product to the buyer is the best way to build your business.
