HI Max
If you were located in the United States of America I would give your hub a try.
I think shipping would get pretty costly.
However, I do have a suggestion or 2
1 - Go to a University or High School in your area and talk to a few teachers.
If you tell them what you do and how to locate your Hub, the word could be spread to their students.
This concept would work well if you are close enough to a school that pickups or deliveries by yourself
would be possible.
2 - Talk to friends and relatives about what you do.
I myself find that most people in the area where I live, have no clue what 3D printing is.
Try to do some designs like Bird Feeders or replacements for Gas Cap Tethers that break on autos.
And don’t forget to let them know how to find your Hub.
The biggest challenge will be to find someone that can actually do 3D design.
I use Sketchup, but there are many other programs as you may well know.
…
I hope these comments help you in some manner!

Add more filament colors.
Add more pictures of real prints.
Get some small orders, from friends and relatives, to start you off.
Good luck!
I’ll try that too. thanks! 
Thank you so much Gary. I’ll definitely give those things a try. 
Your hub looks good. I dont know how well 3D printing has established in portugal, maybe this could be a reason?
Use your social media accounts to promote your hub, talk with people. Are there any tech-meetings in lisboa?
Maybe you should add more colors and materials.
I’ve just checked and sadly there are no interesting meetups here in Lisbon… 
I’ve just ordered tragic red pla/pha from colorfabb so I’ll see what happens with that. I’ll try posting the new material color at my social media accounts. Thank you for the tips BTW
