We can print almost any 3D model designed for extrusion based (FFF/FDM) 3D printers within ~12 x 12 x 12" (300 x 300 x 300mm) bounding box using a variety of materials and colors in stock or on order.

For design tips check out our website:

Design services such as customization of existing 2D/3D files, file conversion and part engineering are also available.

3D prints make totally awesome, original gifts.
Anything from ornaments, mechanical components to fully printed quad-copters!

Materials:
PLA (Polylactic Acid) - Plant based Bio-Plastic, high rigidity, available in vibrant colors.
ABS - Common consumer plasic, higher temperature tolerance than PLA.
PETG - Very durable and high strength. Great for applications where wear resistance is needed.
PETT (t-glase) - Similar to PETG, but slightly more flexible.
TPU - We offer Gizmo Dorks flexible filament (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) and NinjaFlex® Flexible Filament.
Alloy 910 - Nylon based polymer with higher tensile strength and more flexibility than PLA, ABS, PETG, and t-glase.

Maximum Build area:
~12 x 12 x 12" (300 x 300 x 300mm)

Pricing:
3D print ordres are charged by the cubic centemeter of material used. Cost may vary depending on fill rates, part complexity, support material and part cleanup.

Current material rates for fused filament 3D prints using .3mm layer height and are as follows:
PLA - $0.35/gram/cubic centimeter
ABS - $0.45/gram/cubic centimeter
PETG - $0.45/gram/cubic centimeter
PETT (t-glase) - $0.50/gram/cubic centimeter
Gizmo Dorks TPU (flexible) - $0.45/gram/cubic centimeter
NinjaFlex® Flexible Filament (TPU) - $0.55/gram/cubic centimeter
Taulman Alloy 910 - $0.80/gram/cubic centimeter
+ $10 start-up per order
All quotes include free shipping anywhere in the US.

+10% for layer height @ .25mm
+15% for layer height @ .2mm
+20% for layer height @ .15mm

Reduced material rates are available for multiple part orders.

Gurantee:
Our 3D printing service is guranteed to meet client's expectations. We offer complete refund options for most small to medium sized projects. In some cases experimentation might be required to create a high quality prototype. This is our way of ensuring you get the best part possible with the technology we have available. We do our best to estimate accurate turnaround times and promptly communicate suggestions or project concers. We think it's important to share our prototyping knowledge and hope our experience goes a long way to making your project great.
