Every answer we give by email, published. If yours isn't here, email the operator.
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.
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.
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.
$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.
Quotes within 1 business day. Production is 7–10 business days, then domestic transit of 2–5 days.
You do — at exactly what the label costs. Postage is billed at actual and never marked up; it appears as its own line.
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.
No. The calculator gives the full breakdown with no email, call, or account. Email is for when you're ready to send files.
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.
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.
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.
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.
