This is probably okay as a one-time post, but typically it is best to create a chess.com blog post for personal things like this. If you do post in the forums, then preferably off-topic, but this is probably fine as long as it isn't spam.

Hey all,
I quit teaching 4 years ago and I'm missing my interaction with the kids. So I'm looking to open an after school chess academy probably in 2 years. I'd like it to be similar to a dojo style where students rank up. They just come in after school, play, learn, and have fun.
In order to get to that point, I need to save up some $$$ as it's not cheap getting started. So what I've started doing is 3D Printing Chess stuff as well as other 3D prints: Dragons/Critters/Dice Accessories, etc. So I've created an Etsy and figured I'd share here. If it's not allowed (I couldn't find any rules against it), then please delete this mods. If you're willing to help me towards my goal my etsy is: https://custom3dchessprints.etsy.com
If you have advice for me with your own chess academy, feel free to DM me, I'd love to hear good advice as well. A mentor throughout the process would also be awesome.
Thanks,
Cedrik
