Thirteen answers

The whole list

What files do you accept?

3MF preferred (a sliced Bambu/Orca 3MF lets the calculator read your exact weight and time), STL accepted. Print-ready only — no design services, and we never modify your model without written sign-off.

How does pricing work?

Per print-hour on top of a published production floor: $4.00/hr one-off, $3.00/hr recurring partner. The calculator shows every line — filament, electricity, machine time, failure allowance, handling, carton — before you email anyone.

What materials and colors do you stock?

PLA (12 colors), PLA Matte (7), and PETG (4), plus premium finishes — Silk+, Multi, and Metal — priced by material in the calculator. Every stocked color is the same price within its material.

Is there a minimum order?

$75 per order. Batch runs of 25+ are the core service, but smaller runs above the minimum are welcome — that's how most partners test us with one SKU.

How fast is turnaround?

Quotes within 1 business day. Production is 7–10 business days, then domestic transit of 2–5 days.

Who pays for shipping?

You do — at exactly what the label costs. Postage is billed at actual and never marked up; it appears as its own line.

What happens if a print fails?

It doesn't ship. Parts failing inspection are pulled, logged, and reprinted under written SOP — the 5% failure allowance in every quote funds this, so a failed print never becomes your problem.

Do I need to talk to anyone to get a price?

No. The calculator gives the full breakdown with no email, call, or account. Email is for when you're ready to send files.

Can you print parts over 12 inches?

Single pieces up to 12″ (330 mm). Larger geometry is quoted as an engineered multi-part assembly with bonded or mechanical joints — email us the file.

I sell on Etsy — is this allowed?

Yes. Etsy permits disclosed production partners; sellers get in trouble for hiding them, not having them. The Etsy page includes the exact disclosure wording to paste.

I'm outside the US — can I use this?

That's the point. Your US orders print in California and ship domestic — no customs, no duties at your customer's door, no US entity required. See International.

Do I owe sales tax?

California orders: sales tax applies unless a valid resale certificate is on file. Everyone else: no California tax; your own obligations are between you and your accountant.

Who's behind Onshore3D?

The founder-operator of UFODesigns3D Inc., a Torrance, CA 3D-print brand with 3,000+ orders shipped — the About page has the story.
