How It Works
Create your 3D model, or download it and upload the 3D print file to our upload form below. Don’t have a 3D file? We can help.
We will give you a quote based on your 3D model and the material you choose.
With our 3D Printing services we create your 3D Model and post-process your product.
Your 3D print is ready and you can pick it from your near pickup point or delivered to your door, ready to use.
FAQ
Most know materials for 3D printers use PLA or ABS or PETG plastic. PLA Is However, it’s more sensitive to heat, so don’t leave your 3D prints on the dashboard of a car on a hot day. Learn more about materials for 3D Printing here.
PETG and ABS are pretty similar with some small differences on heat sensitivity. Both filaments combine strength and ductility which is why they are used in so many mechanical parts and robotics.
PLA plastic or polylactic acid is a vegetable-based plastic material, which commonly uses cornstarch or sugarcane as a raw material. The monomer is usually made from fermented plant starch. This material is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester and it is the primary natural raw material used in 3D printing. PLA is a fully biodegradable thermoplastic polymer consisting of renewable raw materials. Among all 3D printing materials, PLA is part of the most popular materials used for additive manufacturing for filament fabrication. Read more about PLA here.

PETG is made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), the material you may know from plastic water bottles, but some ethylene glycol is replaced with CHDM (cyclohexanedimethanol) — hence the letter “G” after PET for “glycol-modified”. The result is a clearer, less brittle filament that’s easier to extrude than PET. However, it does have the unfortunate side effect of changing the recycling process. Although PET is widely recycled, PETG is not – the subtle differences between these materials create a troublesome contaminant in recycling facilities.
PETG is an immensely popular 3D printing filament, widely used for its high strength, relative flexibility, and temperature resistance compared to the ever-popular PLA. Learn more about PETG here.

ABS, short for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, was among the earliest materials used in FDM 3D printing. It’s one of the most common plastics today, used in processes like injection molding to create anything from airplane seats to Lego bricks.
When PLA came along, it dethroned this long-standing champion as a general-use material. Now, PETG, polyethylene terephthalate glycol, threatens to do the same for high-strength applications as well.
Also referred to as “copolyesters”, the various blends of PETG are described as striking the perfect balance between ABS’s strength and PLA’s ease of use.

We found most prints look best in metallic colouts but if you are planning to to prime or paint them, you can simply go for white or silver. Our available colours are in our shop but sometimes we have more colours in stock that are available for our 3D Printing Services.

Thingiverse.com is a huge online repository of 3D files for anything and everything you can think of Pokemon chess set? It’s there. Dyson vacuum wall mount? It’s there. DIY Lego-style blocks? Yes it’s there. Other pages that you can find free Stl files ready to 3D Print are www.myminifactory.com and www.printables.com.
When you’re ready to create your own designs, there are a ton of software packages to choose from, but it’s easiest to start with the browser-based free TinkerCad app from Autodesk.

The cost of a 3D Print depends on different variables. The weight of the material will be used, the type of material and the time of printing are the main factors. If the 3D Model requires extra editing before the 3D Print, we will let you know and we will give you a quotation before starting work on your 3D Prints. As for a Quotation and we will let you know the actual cost.
