OK. So a friend handed you Portals and you don't know what to do. Don't Worry. It still only takes a couple of minutes to get started.


As a summary.

  • You upload a 3D Model to Portals.

  • You share the listing around.

  • When you get an Order, Slant 3D will print and ship the item right to your customer for you.

  • You get paid the profit you set.



  1. Find a 3D Model


You need a 3D Model to make a portal. Luckily there are 10's of millions of them that you can get for free. There are like 5 websites where you can download them. There are thousands of designers creating awesome products that can be 3D Printed.



Here are a few designers and example Items we think are awesome and can sell. But we suggest that you select items that you yourself would like to have. So pick what you like.



  1. Upload the Model to Portals


At the risk of oversimplifying. That is all you do. Find a model and then upload it. You do not need to pay any fees or anything else. Signup, upload. If anything else happens you might be in the wrong place.



To setup Portals

  1. Go Here

  2. Signup for Portals

  3. Click the Plus Button

  4. Upload a File (that you found on one of the other sites

  5. Give it a Title

  6. Describe it. We recommend going with "Who you are, what the item is, and why it is great"

  7. Set a price. (The cost to make the item will show up. Price it where your profit is more. That is the money you will make)

  8. Start Selling (When you make a sale the profit will show up in the sales ticker in the upper left)


  1. Market your Portal


Simply creating a portal may not get you sales. You have to share it. Here are a few ideas


  1. Make 10 tiktok/instagram videos of your item. A few videos just saying Who you are, what it is, and why it is better will go much further than you think. Phones are fine.

  2. Instagram Boosted Post. After you have made those 10 videos you can now pay Instagram $5 to share them with people that you think would be interested. Paste a link to your etsy Listing in it.

  3. Add your Portals Store to your Instagram, Tiktok Bio/Linktree

  4. Share in Forums. If the product is for a hobby go find the forum talking about that hobby. That is why it is so much better to find products that you love yourself. Because you like know where other fans are.



If you still need some ideas here are a few ideas of types of Portals stores that you can create. But just go and get started with whatever interests you.
