I created a 3D file of an “enhanced” design of an existing product and I’d like to put it on thingverse (or some other website)/post it to my socials so that others can print it at their leisure.

The original item is a $6 pack of VERY small plastic pieces of different sizes (smaller than my little finger)

EDIT: the original item is not a 3D file! It’s an item you can buy at the store

, but I only need/use one of the sizes and I feel like it’s super wasteful to have to buy the whole pack just to discard 5 of the 6 items.

I checked patents and it’s not patented. If/when I post it to my socials, I also plan on including the link to the original product so those who don’t 3D print can buy the original.

I also put a poll up on my story about the originals and can see that multiple people went and purchased the originals through my Amazon storefront (so they are definitely making some money from my social media exposure) – not that this would matter from a legality perspective, but, just thought I’d add it.

Any help would be appreciated!
