The manufacturing network for people who already have the file

No printer, or not the right one: send us the sliced file you trust, ready to print from your slicer, or the 3D model for a producer to slice. You see the price on the spot, and a verified producer prints the part. Your payment waits until you accept it.

Sliced files and models both work: STL, OBJ, or 3MF without slicing.

Every job goes to a printer that suits it

Every printer in the network belongs to a class, by build volume, open or enclosed frame, and hotend. Your file can also go to a different model, but only one of the same class and only if that printer's producer confirms it.

What protects your money and your part

The hot end, where filament becomes the part.
  • Your money waits until you accept the part

    The amount goes on hold when you order and is charged when a producer takes the order. It goes to that producer only after you accept the part, or when a dispute is resolved.

  • Every producer prints a test model first

    Producers verify their identity with Stripe and print our test model with a unique code. The largest order they can take grows with their track record.

  • The part is weighed before it ships

    Every part is photographed on the plate and on a scale before shipping, so its weight can be checked against the grams the slicer worked out.

  • Files stay yours

    We store them encrypted. A sliced file goes only to the assigned producer, through links that expire in 24 hours. To check the price, up to 3 producers can download a model, one at a time. Files are deleted from the producer's side 30 days after completion.

  • A dispute has a deadline

    It starts with a guided comparison of your photos and the producer's, then a decision within 7 days: full or partial payout to the producer, reprint or refund.

  • The producer keeps your settings

    A sliced file is printed as it is: if a parameter needs changing, the producer must declare it and wait for your approval. A model is sliced for the material, quality and strength you chose.

Where your money is

Where the money sits at each step, on the sample file cycloidal-drive.gcode.3mf. Shipping has its own line, and all of it goes to the producer.

Every price starts from these rates

20%Network fee
Already inside the price you see: the producer pays 20% of their price. If that comes to less than €4 on a small order, you pay the difference.
0%Fee on shipping
You pay shipping at the producer's own price, always on a separate line, and all of it goes to the producer. The print price also includes the card payment cost on the shipping: 1.5% of its amount.
-30% / +100%Producer's own price
The rates below give a suggested price. Each producer sets their own by moving it within this range.

Put your printers on the network

The printers you already run will do, whether you have one or many. You get jobs matched to the class, nozzle and materials of your machines. You keep 80% of your price: the customer pays before you print, and your share is released when they accept the part.

Before you upload

Which files can I upload?

Sliced files from Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, Elegoo Slicer, Creality Print, and PrusaSlicer: .gcode.3mf, .gcode or .bgcode. Models too, and a producer slices them: STL, OBJ or 3MF without slicing. STEP files: not yet.

What to do with an STL

What if my file was sliced for a printer no producer has?

We look for a printer of the same class with compatible volume, nozzle, temperature and enclosure. The producer sees which printer the file was sliced for and must confirm they can print it unchanged before accepting.

Which materials are available?

PLA, PETG, ASA, ABS, PC and carbon-fibre nylon and PET. Carbon-fibre jobs only go to machines with a hardened nozzle.

Can I order several copies?

Yes. On the quote you set the copies, up to 20, and the price is worked out again. Copies of a model are priced as printed together; each copy of a file prepared in a slicer is one more print of its plates.

See what a small series costs

Where do you ship?

Inside one customs area, so no parcel crosses a customs border: within the EU, between Switzerland and Liechtenstein, or within one of Norway, the United Kingdom, the United States or Canada. The quote tells you whether a producer can take your file for your country.

How do you read my file?

We read the data your slicer already computed, and we never change your file.
