FAQ
Answers, before you have to ask.
What file formats can I upload?
STL (binary or ASCII) up to 50 MB. Export at fine resolution — chord tolerance 0.01–0.05 mm gives smooth curves without a huge file. STEP support is on the roadmap; email it to us in the meantime and we'll quote it manually.
How is the instant quote calculated?
From your part's actual geometry: we compute its volume, estimate the printed weight (including infill), and price by material — plus a small setup fee per part. What you see is what you pay; there are no surprise revisions after you order.
What's the biggest part you can print?
300 mm on the longest axis for FDM materials (PLA, PETG, ABS). Larger parts can often be printed in sections and joined — email us. Resin parts are best under 180 mm.
Which material should I pick?
PLA: rigid and precise — prototypes, jigs, indoor parts. PETG: tough and weather-resistant — outdoor use, brackets under sustained load. ABS: impact and heat resistance — enclosures near electronics, car interiors. Resin: fine detail and smooth finish — visual models, small precise components.
What tolerances do you hold?
Typical FDM accuracy is ±0.3 mm or ±0.5% (whichever is larger); resin is tighter, around ±0.1 mm. Holes come out slightly undersized in FDM — design +0.2 mm on critical bores, or tell us which dimensions matter and we'll compensate.
How fast will I get my order?
Ready-to-ship products leave within 24 hours. Made-to-order partsare printed in 2–5 business days depending on size and queue. Shipping adds 3–7 business days (US & Canada).
Do you ship outside the US and Canada?
Not yet through the site. Email us for international orders and we'll quote shipping manually.
Can I return a part?
Ready-made products: yes, within 30 days, unused. Custom and made-to-order parts are printed specifically for you, so they're only returnable if defective — we reprint or refund those. Full policy on the Shipping & returns page.
What happens to my uploaded design files?
They're stored under a random ID, used only to print your order, and never shared or resold. Details in our privacy policy.
Is payment secure?
Payments run entirely through Stripe — card details go to Stripe directly and never touch our servers.
