How To Order
How to Get an Instant Quote and Upload Your File
To get started, click “INSTANT QUOTE” at the top of any page. Then, press the Upload button, and browse your computer to locate the file you wish to upload, which can be in .STL, .STEP, or .STP format. After selecting the file, confirm to initiate the upload process.
2 - Upload multiple files and view pricing
To upload multiple files and view pricing, click the Upload File button at the top of the screen. You can add as many files as needed in formats like .STL, .STEP, or .STP. After uploading, the price for your files will appear in the upper right corner, allowing you to review the total cost.
3 - Choose The Printing Technology
To choose the printing technology, you have two options: SLA (selected by default) and FDM. If you prefer FDM, simply click the FDM button, as shown in the video tutorial. The video provides a step-by-step guide on selecting your preferred technology.
4 - Customize Your Order: Color, Quantity, and Delivery Time
To personalize your order, follow the video guide to choose a color from Gray, White, or Black, adjust quantities to see the updated price, and select your preferred delivery time. A 1-working-day lead time adds a 35% charge compared to the standard 3-day option. Once you've made your selections, click Confirm
5-Finalizing Your Order
In this step, you will need to enter all your details, including your shipping address. After filling out your information, select your preferred delivery option: Standard, Express, or Pickup.

Common File Preparation Problems
Scale
If you model is larger than the printers build volume it must be scaled down to fit. The max print size for SLA resin is 156 x 278 x 290mm. The max print size for FDM is 240 x 240 x 240mm
Wall Thickness
We guarantee parts above 0.9mm in thickness. We can print thinner things, but it’s at your own risk. Thin areas of your model that fall below our minimum thickness may not print. The best-case scenario is that the thin areas do print. In some cases, the entire model prints fine except for the thin areas, and in the worst cases, the thin areas fail to print, causing the entire model to fail. We do our best to check every single model for printing; however, sometimes thinner parts may be missed. To ensure your print succeeds, thicken all walls above 0.9mm.
Non-Manifold Geometry
Non-manifold geometry is the most serious file problem. In some cases, it’s minor, and in others, it renders the file completely unprintable. Non-manifold geometries are those that have shared edges, inverted normals, overlapping faces, shared vertices, missing, and zero-thickness surfaces. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that a non-manifold model will print defect-free, if at all. When purchasing, be aware that we cannot be held responsible for any printing problems. A sign that your model is non manifold is if you see missing faces in the preview window and the minimum wall thickness warning triggers as you see above.
File Formats & Data size
The maximum accepted file size is 200 MB per file. STL is the primary 3D printing format; however, our system also accepts OBJ, STP, IGES, and 3MF. If your file is larger than 200 MB, don’t worry! Create a low-resolution version; the cost is the same whether it’s low or high resolution. After completing your order, please email us your high-resolution file via WeTransfer.com.
Single Body Files Only
When uploading files with multiple bodies contained inside, it often prompts the quoting system to fail. In cases where it does give a price, it bypasses our per part pricing parameters which invalidates the cost. Therefore, all files must contain just one body/part.
