No file yet? Where to find one, and ideas

Easier on a computer. Your 3D files are usually saved there, and your model’s easier to check on a bigger screen. You can carry on here too.

Your files, artwork included, are stored privately and only we can open them. They’re deleted after 2 days if you don’t order, or 90 days after you do.

How it’s made

Material
Engineering materials, made on request

For jobs PLA, PETG and ABS can’t do: real heat, sun all year, flex or heavy loads. They print slower and need drying and a hardened nozzle, so they cost more. You’ll see a guide price; we then check your part suits the material and confirm the price by email.

Quality
Strength
Logos and artwork (optional)

Put a logo, picture or lettering on your print: in its own colours, raised or pressed in. Unlimited colour changes, free.

    Up to 5 pieces on one print. Images can be PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, AI or EPS, up to 20 MB each; vector files (SVG, PDF, AI, EPS) give the crispest edges. Send only artwork you have the right to use.

    £4.00 for each one we add, however many prints you order.

    Volume prices: 5% off from 10, 10% from 25, 15% from 50, 20% from 100.

    Personalised and larger orders

    Names or numbers on every piece, your logo, a design made for you, or runs of 500+ units. Tell us what you need, with your logo if you have one, and we’ll reply within two working days with a price and a date.

    We’re a 3D printing hotspot here in the UK, so you’ll be talking to the people doing the printing, and your batch never sits in a shipping container.

    PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, AI or EPS, up to 3 files of 20 MB each. Vector files (SVG, PDF, AI, EPS) give the crispest edges.

    For personalised pieces: each line is printed on its own piece. You can also paste a column from a spreadsheet.

    We use your details only to reply and to make your order. See our privacy policy.

    Good to know

    Draft. Check these answers match how you work, especially payment, samples and turnaround, and add any you’re often asked. This text appears under “Good to know” at the bottom of strand commercial.

    How do we pay?

    Anything you price and order on this page is paid at checkout, like any other order. For work we quote by email, we’ll agree how and when to pay when we send the price.

    Do we get a receipt?

    Yes. Every order has a receipt to print or save as a PDF, from the confirmation email and the order’s page. Tick “Buying for a business, school or club?” at checkout and your organisation’s name goes on it too.

    Can you match our brand colour?

    We print with Bambu Lab filament, so we’ll suggest the closest of the colours we stock and can print you a sample to check against. Filament comes in set colours, so an exact Pantone match isn’t possible.

    Can you put our logo on?

    Yes. Add it on the order form on this page, or send it with your enquiry: we can print it in its own colours, raised from the surface or pressed into it. Colour changes are free, however many colours your logo has. A vector file (SVG, PDF, AI or EPS) gives the crispest edges.

    Can we see one before the whole batch is printed?

    Yes. For personalised work we send a proof of the design first. For bigger runs we can print one sample and post it to you, or send photos, before the rest is made.

    How long does a batch take?

    It depends on the size of each piece and how many you need. We give you a date with every quote, and tell you straight away if a deadline is too tight. Every parcel is tracked by Royal Mail. UK delivery is free on orders over £40.

    Which material should we choose?

    PLA for most things indoors: crisp detail and the most colours. PETG for things used outdoors or that need to flex a little. ABS for parts that get warm or take a knock, like fittings in a car or near machinery. Not sure? Ask and we’ll recommend one.

    What happens to our files?

    They’re stored privately, used only to make your order, never shared or reused, and deleted automatically after the period in our privacy policy.
