Pre-owned Elegoo Product Business Use Policy & Licensing
Important Notice: Business Use Licensing Required
This policy applies to all pre-owned Elegoo products sold by NV Liquidation LLC. NV Liquidation LLC reserves the right to collect business use documentation and submit licensing requests on behalf of users.
Elegoo consumer 3D printers are designed for personal and hobbyist use only. If used for business purposes, you must apply for a business license. Unauthorized commercial use voids all warranties and support services.
What Qualifies as Commercial Use?
| Usage Type | License Required? |
|---|---|
| Printing for personal hobby use (casual, non-profit) | No |
| Printing to sell products (Etsy, eBay, online stores, etc.) | Yes |
| Running a 3D printing business or service | Yes |
| Using the printer more than 8+ hours per day (commercial runtime) | Yes |
| Continuous operation (e.g., 24/7 use or batch production) | Yes |
According to IRS guidelines, earning over $600 per year from 3D printing is classified as business activity. Users engaging in commercial production must obtain an Elegoo Business License.
