Looking for ideas to support a 3D models sharing site (3 replies)

Hi all

I would be really grateful if anyone could suggest ways I could support the fabfabbers.com site I released around a month ago now.

A few of the more obvious ones:

1) Plain old advertising (Google Ads etc)
2) Selling models for a commision (already done - places like Shapeways of course having a huge advantage)
3) Some kind of kickstarter campaign, perhaps the goal of which would be to open source it. I would have discounted that idea immediately, but I've seen some successful community-based kickstart projects.
4) A community buy/sell page, with a small cut for sales

I think there's a lot of scope for improvement, but at the moment I can't see a way to make it even minimally viable.

Any ideas welcome

Marcos
