For all of the people here who knows about 3D printing, this happens all the time with every market: fixing some kind of issues for some kind of pipes for a plumber may seem like a steal, but it’s what they take for their knowledge about how to fix it. I’ve been a professional computer repair man and at the beginning I also couldn’t believe people would pay to help them to reinstall Windows on their PCs, because to me that was really simple.
