Can I sell prints of Bearded Printer designs?
Bearded Printer's Commercial tier on Patreon lets you sell prints of models you have access to, up to $50k a year in revenue, while you stay subscribed.
This is Bearded Printer's own commercial licence, as their terms read when we checked them on 10 Oct 2026. Designers change their terms, so check the current version before you rely on it.

How you get the licence
- The Commercial tier on their Patreon. The NEATO BANDITO tier above it carries the same licence terms.
- Their licence terms name an "Obsessor" tier in one place and the Commercial tier in another. Their Patreon has no Obsessor tier now, so the Commercial tier is the one to look at.
- The licence covers models you have access to: ones you have bought, and exclusive models from a tier you are still subscribed to.
- Subscribers get a reseller certificate for selling online or at booths.
What it lets you do
- Selling printed models made from the files, for models you have access to, while you are subscribed to the Commercial tier.
- Commercial use up to $50k of revenue a year. Above that, they ask you to contact them about further licensing.
What you must do
- One clause in their terms, as written, says you may not sell "the digital or 3D printed versions of the Designs", while the tier itself says subscribers may sell printed models. Ask them which applies and keep the reply.
What it does not allow
- Sharing, distributing or sub-licensing the files.
- Selling prints of an exclusive model after you leave the tier it came with, unless you buy it.
When it ends
- Commercial use is only for Commercial tier subscribers, so it ends when your subscription does. Nothing is said about prints already made, so ask them before you cancel.
- Exclusive models you downloaded through a tier stop counting as models you have access to when you leave that tier, unless you buy them.

Where they publish
How licensing works on each platform where Bearded Printer publishes:
What to keep
If anyone ever asks whether you were licensed when you sold a print, these are what answer it. Save them as you go, not when someone asks.
- Your subscription receipts, showing which months you were subscribed. Your permission lasts only while you are, so this is what proves when you were covered.
- A copy of the licence terms as they read when you subscribed, and each time they change.
- Your reseller certificate.
- Receipts for any models you bought, since those stay models you have access to.
- Where you got each design you sell, and when.
