There is now potential for side-projects involving small-scale manufacturing thanks to recent advances in 3D printing. A friend and I created Enstaved [1] ("Customized Staves and Accessories") after a prop that we designed and 3D printed for a talk I gave at PyCon AU proved really popular. We did put in quite a bit of up-front work designing a product line and a website. Now most of our job is promotion and manufacturing the staves people order. Frankly that doesn't feel like "work" at all...:) [1] https://enstaved.com https://enstaved.com
