The honest answer is that it very much depends on the model.  Small models use less filament and can take as little as 30 minutes.  A large model with multiple parts can use a kilogram or more of filament and take 24 hours or more.

By far the easiest is when you already have a file that is ready to print. Something like an STL file which we can load onto the printer and set it going. Once we get into modelling, it's not what we're good at. Your best bet, if it's something bespoke, is to find someone local or use a site like Fiverr where you can get someone to do the work for you very cost effectively. Either way, it's best to think through what you want very carefully. We charge for filament and time on the printer. So, like having your house painted, once it's done, there's no way to undo it and you have to start again. If you already have an STL file then you can use our "Request a Quote" page to send it to us

That depends a lot on the model. On the large format 3D printer at the moment is a part that will take 40 hours to print. The average for filament printing is probably around 10 hours. 6 little figurines on the resin printer will take 3 or 4 hours.

So, let’s say you order something where we don’t have the filament in stock for the colour you want on a Monday morning. Allow a couple of days to get the filament in so we’d probably do the printing on Wednesday and get it packed and picked up by Royal Mail on Thursday. Start to finish, think in terms of 7 to 10 days and you won’t go wrong. If you have a particular deadline then contact us to discuss it.

Quite possibly.  The best thing to do is get in contact and we can discuss it.  We'll need CAD drawings if it's complex.  If it's something more simple then we'll need lots of information or even the original part if it's a replacement for something.

Probably not.  Unless you have multiple photos showing every angle along with accurate measurements then it's highly unlikely that we'll even be able to recreate the model.

Definitely. For figurines, we use a 4K resin printer that prints in exceptional detail right down to 32mm models. So, for things like figurines and small props, resin printing is the way to go. For larger props, we’d go back to filament printing.

We can, but it tends to start getting expensive. A small figurine, printed in resin, is usually around the £6 mark. Once you start getting into painting them, this goes anything up to £50 per figurine. To get the detail, you’re looking at painting under magnifying lenses with lights, with brushes that are tiny. It takes 2 to 3 hours to paint a small figurine and we work in the basis of £15 per hour for this. What we find is that most people prefer to paint models themselves.

This one depends on what you have in mind. We can print multi-coloured items up to 4 colour. But it’s not like we’re mixing colours. We’re printing models that might have patches of different colours.

If the filament is available in the colour you want then we can print it in 99% of cases. But there is a limit to the colours available. So you might not have a choice of 10 shades of blue, for example.

Well, we can print in resin. We use a plant based resin because it’s much nicer to the planet than some of the chemical based resins.

For filament, we can print in PLA, PLA+, TPU, PETG, nylon and ABS up to 256mm x 256mm x 256mm.

Generally, no. We’re offering a 3D printing service, not selling finished items. This is as much to do with the law as anything. Unless the item has a licence for others to sell it, or it’s something that we’ve designed, it’s often forbidden to sell the finished printed item. But if it’s an item for your personal use and you supply the STL then it’s legal for us to print it for you.
