Materials guide
Custom piece estimates include setup, filament priced by the gram and any selected finishing. Each material costs a different amount to buy and to print well — here's what you get for the money. Per-gram rates shown here remain estimates pending confirmation.
Our setup fee covers time, labor, prototyping, filament used during setup and prototyping, and machinery. It pays for the work and resources needed to prepare your custom piece, not just the material in the finished print.
The Pricing calculator includes this fee per piece, then adds the estimated filament for the finished print and your chosen finishing. Shipping is separate. We review your design before confirming the final quote.
