A Start-up idea I've been thinking about:
 
*Create an online interface that allows people to alter and customize fractal geometry within printable parameters.
**Remove friction for people who don't know CAD/3D or 3D fractal software.
***Just a few simple sliders that actually modify fractal geometry, not simply bend and stretch like normal 3D design modulations.
**Would have to design new software that merges CAD with 3D fractal generation
***Mandelbulber
***Incendia
***Mandelbulb 3D
**See this start-up, which got $1.4 [http://www.prsnlz.me/articles/makielab-announce| million] in seed funding to make customizable dolls, for example of such a simplified interface: http://makie.me/
 
Now, after viewing the gallery [https://picasaweb.google.com/105743953071983817681/3DFractals|gallery] linked above, imagine all of the below products available with full customization through easy online interface.
 
Such as modifiable, personalizable
*chess pieces (on a fractal-ish chessboard?)
 
or
 
*Jewelry (can print in precious metals or affordable biopolymers)
*jewelry boxes/small chests
*3d fractal jigsaw puzzle
*computer/ipod/device casings http://www.ebay.com/soc/itm/120974056989?roken=XcZIIA
*key chains
*lighter holders
*lampshades (transparent materials) home and commercial (restaurants, hotels, office)
*chandeliers
*Instruments
**3D fractal didgereedoos, flutes
*candle sticks and holders
*decorative bowls
*vases
*plant pots (match planter containers to the fractal geometry of the particular plants they will hold)
*terrariums with transparent materials
*art sculptures
**LED-lit transparent fractal contours would make awesome pins, hats, trip toys, sculptures, etc.
***3D fractal prisms
**wind ornaments, pinwheels (like those spiral and helix shapes)
**multicolor UV fluorescent (can make with ZPrinter)
**modular parts for large scale geometries (repeating fractals like webs)
**large event speakers and small home or portable speaker additions

**bicycle extensions
**decorative bookshelf additions
**Furniture
***chairs (pod-like, rock-like, etc)
***coffee tables

**picture/mirror frames $$
**house extensions (modular parts)
***entrance frames, window trim, eventually larger ornate entrance-ways
