$20K+ From 3D Printed Candy Lamps

Chris Anderson designs novelty lamps, 3D prints them in his Pennsylvania workshop, and sells them on Etsy and at craft shows.

His bestseller is a $40 lamp shaped like a Ring Pop (the candy you wear on your finger).

Chris writes…

These lamps are specifically meant to be used with colored light bulbs so they look like candy…

I’ve sold about 500 of these on different platforms

A bigger version costs $125, but at mostly $40 a pop (get it?), I reckon that’s $20K+ revenue from these lamps 🤑

Chris opened his Etsy shop in 2025 and has 400+ sales with a perfect 5-star rating.

The rest of his lamps lean on nostalgia too, from a turtle sandbox night light to a Space Invaders desk lamp 👾

Aside from lamps, he sells items like Cool S fridge magnets and a bread clip stash box.

What other childhood objects could you shrink, enlarge or turn into something sellable with a 3D printer? 🤔
