First freelance job - how to manage payment/finishing the proyect

Santiago_RS

Hi everyone, without realizing it, I got my first job as a 3D modeler talking to a guy on a Facebook page to make a 3D print of an armor. but I started thinking "what if i give him the model and he doesn't pay me".

My question is: is there any kind of contract or something like that to have a written agreement or something that helps me to get me pay on time and form?

Or in cases like this do I have to take the risk?

Being my first freelance job of this kind, I don't know much how this is handled.

Regards

I would say to make sure you get a contract for that so no one takes your art
