3D printing prices, samples and volume discounts
Quotes are free
Send me your file (STL, 3MF or STEP) with the quantity, material and colour, and I'll send you a free, no-obligation quote. Each quote is worked out for your part.
Multi-colour PLA and PETG parts: for colour-coding, or a logo or text in a second colour. Pricing on quote.
Part sizes and minimum quantities
Open your file in a free slicer (such as PrusaSlicer or Cura) and check two things: the longest side of the part and its estimated weight. The larger category applies. For example, a 120 mm part weighing 20 g is Medium.
| Part size | Longest side | Weight per part | Minimum quantity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | up to 60 mm | up to 30 g | 50 |
| Medium | up to 150 mm | up to 150 g | 10 |
| Large | bigger | over 150 g | 5 |
I confirm the size category on your quote.
Volume discounts
Discounts are per design, per order.
| Part size | Standard price | 5% off | 10% off | Top tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 50+ | 100+ | 250+ | 500+ (15% off) |
| Medium | 10+ | 25+ | 50+ | 100+ (15% off) |
