Pricing & how it works
One instant price.
No quotes, no haggling.
Upload a model, see the full breakdown, and pay. Or run a printer and earn from jobs across the network. Here's exactly how both sides work.
What you pay for
The price is instant and the same every time for the same model and settings. Before you pay, you see a full, itemized breakdown: nothing hidden.
Scale your model up or down. Bigger parts use more material and print time.
How fine the layers are.
How solid and durable the part is.
Final shipping is confirmed at checkout.
How you earn
Get matched to jobs your printer can handle, accept the ones you want, and earn from printer time that would otherwise sit idle.
3D Print Dash keeps a commission to run matching, payments, customer service, support, and shipping. You always see your payout on a job before you accept it.
A vacation toggle lets you pause new jobs anytime. Turn it back on when you're ready.

Questions
Why is the price instant?
The model and your settings determine the price the moment you upload. There's no human quoting step, so you get a firm number right away and it's the same every time for the same inputs.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. Before you pay you see the breakdown behind your price: material, print time, supports, setup & handling, color if you chose one, support removal if you chose it, and shipping. Our own margin is inside those lines rather than added on top as a separate fee, which is why there is no line called one. The total is the total; only tax is added after, where we collect it.
Is there a minimum order?
There's a small minimum order, but no minimum quantity. You can order a single part.
When do operators get paid?
Payouts run through Stripe Connect and release after the order is delivered. 3D Print Dash buys the shipping label, so operators never front shipping.
Where do you ship?
Within the contiguous United States at launch. More coverage is on the roadmap.
What about color and material?
PLA in White at launch, with multicolor and more materials coming soon.
