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.

Your cost breakdown
MaterialThe filament your part is made from (PLA at launch).
Print timeHow long the printer runs to make your part, driven by size, detail, and strength.
Setup & handlingPreparing the print, removing it from the bed, and packing it for shipping.
Support removalOptional add-on, priced per part. Skip it and your part ships with supports attached at no extra cost.
Optional
ColorOnly if you pick a specific color instead of leaving it to your operator. PETG always includes it, because operator's choice is PLA only.
ShippingDelivered to your door. Final shipping and any tax are confirmed at checkout.
Three things you control
Size

Scale your model up or down. Bigger parts use more material and print time.

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.
