3D Print Pricing


FDM prints


Most of our prints are run on Bambu FDM printers, and are priced per gram of material used.

If you'd like a better idea of how much your prints could cost before sending your request check out our guide to Bambu's slicing software here!

3D Printing is FREE if you are printing for your Engineering Course or Engineering Thesis, when printing objects up to 235 x 235 x 235 mm with PLA or PETG. Simply provide either the course code or your supervisor upon submission!
