| Prototype or fit-check piece | $35–$90 |
| Short repeat batch | $70–$220+ |
3D print price calculator
This is a live estimate based on common shop variables. Final quotes can change after I review orientation, tolerances, and file quality.
That is normal. Many small parts land around 20 to 80 grams and 1 to 3 print hours. If you are not sure, use the quote form and I can calculate those from your file instead.

Maximum part size
Printed on a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon with a nominal build volume of 256 × 256 × 256 mm. Actual part size depends on orientation, supports, and printer clearances. Send your file and I’ll confirm whether it fits.
Larger parts may be printable in sections for assembly. Any splitting, joining, and additional costs are confirmed before production.
STL, 3MF, or OBJ required. Include critical dimensions, mating parts, and fit requirements for review before approval.
Colors depend on current stock. Request a specific color in the quote form; availability is confirmed before invoicing.
Support removal, edge cleanup, and a quality check are included. Sanding and additional fit or assembly attention are quoted separately.
PLA+ / PLA Pro, PETG, TPU, PLA-CF, and PAHT-CF options are reviewed for your application. ASA or ABS can be requested; availability is confirmed during file review.
How pricing works
Filament used, including normal waste
Machine time and complexity
Supports, post-processing, and fit checks
Packaging and delivery when needed
Size, print time, material, quantity, supports, finish, and delivery determine the final quote.
Common questions
Is there a minimum order?
Yes. The minimum job charge is $12 before shipping to cover setup, machine prep, and cleanup time, even for simple one-off parts.
How is shipping charged?
Shipping is added separately based on package size, packaging, and destination. The calculator shows common USPS flat rate options for quick estimates, and Wilmington, DE pickup by appointment is also available for local jobs.
Are color choices limited?
Standard colors depend on current stock. If you want a specific color, mention it in the quote request and I’ll confirm availability before invoicing.
What happens if a file is not printable?
If the file has thin walls, broken geometry, or support problems, I’ll review it first and let you know whether it needs changes before printing.
Are commercial and repeat orders welcome?
Yes. Repeat orders, prototype iterations, and small business short runs are welcome once the file and settings are approved.
What file types do you accept?
I prefer STL and 3MF. OBJ is also ok. If you have multiple files, upload a ZIP and explain what each part is.
Do you create designs?
Right now I’m focused on printing customer-supplied designs. If you already have a model, I can print it.
What materials can you print?
PLA+ / PLA Pro, PETG, PLA-CF, and PAHT-CF are available for suitable parts. TPU is also available when the job needs flexibility.
What’s typical turnaround?
Your final quote includes timing based on part size, complexity, quantity, and the current production queue.
Can you improve strength?
Yes. Material choice, wall count, infill, and print orientation can all improve strength. If you select “Not sure,” I’ll recommend settings.
Do you remove supports and clean parts?
Yes. I remove supports, clean edges, and do a quick quality check before delivery.
When do I pay?
Payment happens after the quote is reviewed and approved. I confirm pricing and turnaround first, then send the invoice or payment link before printing starts.
Do you keep files private?
Files are reviewed only to quote and produce the job. If your part has special privacy requirements, mention that in the quote request so I can handle the job accordingly.
Common quality levels
Layer height
For early fit checks, such as testing the dimensions of a wheel center cap. More visible layer lines; prioritizes speed.
Layer height
The default for most functional parts, such as an RV organizer or Raspberry Pi frame. Balances surface finish and print time.
Layer height
Finer layers for detailed parts and improved finish on curved or sloped surfaces. Extra-fine 0.08 mm layers are available by request, with pricing confirmed after file review.
