3D printing specifications & full price list

Every figure our quote engine uses, published in full — machine, materials, settings, limits, delivery and the fees. This page is generated from the same configuration the quote is built from, so it cannot fall out of date.

The discount applies to every copy after the first. Layer height changes the price too: Fine (0.12 mm) layers take roughly 1.6× the machine time of Standard (0.20 mm), and Ultra-fine (0.08 mm) about 10–15×, depending on the material.

Ultra-fine (0.08 mm)Our finest: a 0.2 mm nozzle for tiny detail, on small parts in selected materials
Fine (0.12 mm)Very smooth surfaces, for detailed models
Smooth (0.16 mm)Great finish with reasonable speed
Standard (0.20 mm)The sweet spot for most parts
Draft (0.24 mm)Coarsest finish, visible layer lines, for quick fit checks
