Frequently asked questions
How do I get a quote?+
Upload a 3D file for an instant guide estimate, or describe the part with measurements. We review printability and confirm your final quote by email.
Do I need a 3D file?+
No. If you do not have a model, describe the part and share photos and measurements. Our design help service can create a printable file.
What file types do you accept?+
STL, OBJ, 3MF, STEP/STP and ZIP archives, up to 50 MB. STL gives the fastest automatic estimate.
Are my files private?+
Yes. Files upload to private storage, are never made public, and are only used to quote and produce your job.
Is the estimate the final price?+
No — it is a guide. The final quote depends on file review, print orientation, material and printability. We confirm before any work starts.
Which material is best?+
It depends on use: PLA for indoor/prototype, PETG for tough functional parts, ABS/ASA for heat and sun, TPU for flexible, Nylon/CF for strength. Not sure? We will recommend one.
Can you copy a broken part?+
Often, yes. Send the broken part or clear photos with measurements and we will recreate and print a replacement.
How strong are 3D printed parts?+
It depends on material, geometry and print orientation, which we set to suit the load. Many functional parts are as strong or stronger than the original.
Where do you work?+
We serve customers across South & West Yorkshire and nearby, and post parts more widely across the UK.
How do I pay and when?+
We confirm the quote first. Payment details are arranged once you approve the quote — there is no obligation to proceed from an estimate.
