Price Calculator Guide

This is how our price calculator works: from upload to order. No surprises, just immediate insight into price, settings and delivery time.

Full guide with all features

How does it work?

1

Upload File

Upload your 3D model to the price calculator. We currently support STL and OBJ. Your file must use millimeters (mm) and have a closed (watertight) mesh.

2

Choose settings

Choose material, quality (layer height), infill and support — the same options as in the calculator itself. The price and estimated print time are updated immediately.

3

Place order

Add your print to the cart and check out. An account is required for checkout; after your order, you can close that account again if you wish — we are here for production, not your data.

4

Production

After payment, we start printing. You receive a confirmation by email. We remove the support material; we are working on a feature that lets you remove supports yourself to save costs.

5

Shipping or pickup

Shipping is the usual option. Pickup by appointment is also possible. The delivery time is shown in the cart; a standard print is often shipped within 1–3 working days.

6

Receive your order

Your print arrives carefully packaged. Not satisfied or have questions? Feel free to contact us.

Settings in the price calculator

In the right-hand column of the calculator, you configure the same options per model as during ordering:

Material

Choose the material family and color (e.g. white PLA). Price and availability depend on the selected filament.

Quality

Layer height determines how fine the surface will be (e.g. 0.08–0.30 mm). Thicker layers are faster and cheaper; thinner layers provide more detail.

Infill / Strength

The infill percentage and pattern determine how solid the inside of the print is — important for strength and weight.

Support

Overhangs often require support (e.g. tree support). Support uses extra material and time; we remove it after printing.

Advanced

Under Advanced, you can adjust settings such as wall thickness and the number of top and bottom layers. A wall thickness of 0.8 mm is recommended for most parts.

Dimensions, files and price

Cost-effective printing

Prints within 256 × 256 × 256 mm are generally the most cost-effective. Does your model not fit? Larger dimensions are possible — up to around 450 × 450 × 500 mm, sometimes even larger — but print and delivery times increase more quickly.

Files & technical details

  • Formats: STL and OBJ
  • Units: millimeters (mm), watertight mesh
  • Wall thickness: 0.8 mm recommended
  • Bulk or repeat orders can sometimes be even more cost-effective — request a quote quote.

Frequently asked questions

My model is larger than 256 mm. Is that possible?
Yes, in many cases up to approximately 450 × 450 × 500 mm or larger. The calculator or our staff can assess this; large prints have longer production and delivery times.
Which file formats can I upload?
In the price calculator: STL and OBJ. For other formats (STEP, Fusion, etc.) or a design without a 3D file, you can request a quote or submit files through our separate upload page.
Do I need to keep an account?
An account is required during checkout. Afterwards, you can simply close it or keep it — the choice is yours.
What about support material?
We remove supports after printing. We are working on an option to reduce support in your file or let you remove it yourself, so you can save material and costs.
Can I pick up my order instead of having it shipped?
Yes. Shipping is the default; pickup by appointment is also possible. The expected delivery time is shown in your cart.
