Materials & pricing
The right plastic, honestly priced.
Every quote is computed from a real slice of your actual file — the same maths for everyone, no black box. Here's what we print with and how the price is built.
Materials we stock
ABS — the heat-resistant workhorse
Strong, machinable and comfortable up to ~90 °C. The classic choice for functional parts; slightly matte finish.
Use it for: Automotive interior parts, enclosures near electronics, parts you'll sand or paint.
Colours: Black · White
PETG — tough & weather-resistant
Slightly flexible, impact-resistant and handles water, UV and chemicals far better than PLA. A little less crisp on fine details.
Use it for: Outdoor parts, mechanical parts, containers, anything that gets knocked around.
Colours: White · Clear · Black
PLA — the everyday all-rounder
Stiff, precise and easy to print with a clean finish. Not for hot environments (softens around 55–60 °C) or long outdoor use.
Use it for: Prototypes, models, ornaments, brackets and fixtures that live indoors.
Colours: White · Black · Lime · Red · Blue
TPU — the rubbery, bendy one
A flexible plastic (think stiff rubber): it bends, squashes and bounces back instead of snapping.
Use it for: Phone cases, gaskets, seals, vibration dampers, protective bumpers.
Colours: Black
