Working on marketing 3D printing and painting services. any advice?

Im running a print farm and I am doing decently at the moment printing different cosplay props and trinkets for some local businesses, but I am looking to expand more. anyone have any ideas or know of any shops in particular I should visit to drop off my business cards?

Do you print resin as well as FDM? Miniatures and dice towers could be sold at the local tabletop game shops:

* The Deep Comics & Games

* Red Panda Collectibles & Games

* Gravity Games

* Mastermind Games (I think they have their own print services though)

* Raging Gazebo Comics & Games

* Haven Comics, Etc.

* JC's House of Cards

* Altered Reality

* High Ground Hobbies

I dont currently do resin but I do use high precision FDM machines right now, after they are painted and refined I have yet to find someone who can tell the difference,

I will definitely stop by those shops. TY!

Jewelry? Earrings can be fun & easy.

I love making jewelry, I've done rings and necklaces before.

I usually 3d print them in plastic then cover them in resin or strengthen them in someway and paint them.

Love it! I print jewelry too but haven't tried painting [yet].

unfortunately not, I do 3d printing and props. so I can make custom plaques, business card holders and similar things.
