Sometimes monetizing your hobbies does make sense if they can pay for more hobby materials. I enjoy upgrading and building 3d printers more than waiting while its busy doing it's thing.
Example: During Covid i made bank selling plastic brackets for routers for the company my dad worked for. Original ones were €75 and on a 6+ month backorder, so once I heard my dad talking about it I immediately started modeling and "gifted" them 5 the next day.
Sold 50 more for €25 a piece which paid for a new custom build and a lifetime supply of filament.
Didn't really feel like I was monetizing my hobby because the only downside was not being able to print stuff for my self when it was literally printing money.
