Cadillac Ranch → Etsy

Pricing (shipping included · no PETG upcharge)

PETG is the default — no material dropdown. Etsy price = inkwell direct + Etsy fees + heavier ship on big tiers. You eat PETG cost; margin lives in the all-in sticker.

Tier	Inkwell direct	Etsy	Est. USPS	After ~Etsy fees
3-car	$33	$42	~$6–8	~$32 net
6-car	$66	$69	~$9–11	~$52 net
10-car	$122	$122	~$14–17	~$91 net

Graffiti photos are inspiration only — you ship pre-primed (usually grey primer, color may vary). Direct channel stays cheaper for people who find inkwell first.

Assembly (not one print)

Nothing ships as a single long print — each tier is sections you line up side by side (base down, left → right). Fits a 220 mm bed.

Tier	Plates	STL files (print each once)	Assembled width
3-car	1	cadillac-3car-mm.stl	~210 mm (8.3 in)
6-car	2	cadillac-3car-mm.stl ×2 (same file twice)	~420 mm (16.5 in)
10-car	4	cadillac-3car-mm.stl ×3 + cadillac-1car-mm.stl ×1	~707 mm (27.8 in)

10-car layout left → right: 3-car · 3-car · 3-car · 1-car endcap. The endcap is the short right-hand piece (~77 mm) with a sculpted outer edge — not a flat cut. Same car scale as the 3-car sections; a 4-car plate would be 280 mm and does not fit a 220 mm bed.

Buyer assembles on a shelf or desk — line up bases, no glue required. Say this clearly in the 10-car listing so nobody expects one molded piece.

Shipping · lower 48 vs AK/HI

Sticker price includes shipping to the contiguous US only. On Etsy:

1. Shop Manager → Settings → Shipping settings → your profile
2. Domestic · Fixed price · $0 (free — already in $42 / $69 / $122)
3. Under United States, open Regional pricing (or “Adjust costs for Alaska, Hawaii, and US Protectorates”)
4. Add surcharge — e.g. +$12 (3-car), +$18 (6-car), +$28 (10-car) — tune after one real quote to AK
5. Do not ship international on these listings unless you want a separate profile

Inkwell Stripe checkout: keep shipping_address_collection[allowed_countries][0] = US only; add a note that AK/HI orders may be cancelled and refunded or invoiced for the difference until you automate it.

1 · Open shop (one time)

1. etsy.com/sell → start shop
2. Shop name: InkwellRoute66 or AmarilloGround
3. Country: United States · Currency: USD
4. Bank + ID verification
5. Do not install Slant Connect until volume warrants it

2 · Listing photos

File names lie: etsy-graffiti-heavy.png is only medium tags on white. The real decades-thick heavy paint is etsy-graffiti-decades-route66.png (red/blue/yellow full coverage). Use that as the “heavy” Etsy slide.

3-car · $42

Optional medium (not true heavy): etsy-graffiti-heavy.png — tags on white only.

6-car · $69

10-car · $122 · real prints

Photo order for Etsy: (1) pre-primed product = ships · (2) light tags · (3) decades-route66 = heavy · (4) size or real assembly. You ship pre-primed only (primer shade may vary).

Right-click → save. Skip solo 1-car spam and the weak file still named “heavy” if you already have decades-route66.

8 · Fulfillment · 6-car & 10-car

10-car ($122)
