3D Printing Services – New Thread 
Hi everyone!
With TE’s new migration and the closure of my old thread, I’m opening this fresh one for my 3D printing services.

For orders or queries, please DM me directly.
Reviews and feedback from previous prints are available on my profile.
Filament Materials & Colors
I keep Black & White ABS in stock. Any other color (ABS or PLA) can be ordered from Fibreel if you’re okay with the wait.
• Fibreel ABS Color List
• Fibreel PLA Color List
Print Settings & Quality
• Walls/Layers: 4 walls, 4 top, 4 bottom
• Infill: 30% Gyroid
• Layer Height: 0.2 mm
• Supports: Added as per model requirements
These settings provide a good balance of strength and surface quality. Custom settings can be discussed and implemented as needed.
Filament Overview
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
• Strong, durable, heat-resistant
• Heated bed required (90–110°C)
• Ideal for: Tools, enclosures, LEGO-type parts, functional items
PLA (Polylactic Acid)
• Biodegradable, easy to print, low warping
• Heated bed optional
• Ideal for: Decorative items, toys, prototypes
• More brittle and not suitable for high heat
• Post-processing (painting/sanding) not provided
Note: I do not provide post-processing (e.g., acetone smoothing, coloring, painting, sanding etc.). This must be carried out by the buyer as per their needs.
ABS vs PLA: Quick Comparison
| Feature | ABS | PLA |
|---|---|---|
| Print Ease | Moderate (warping) | Easy (low warping) |
| Strength | Strong, impact-resistant | Rigid but brittle |
| Heat Resistance | High | Low |
| Environmental Impact | Non-biodegradable | Biodegradable |
| Surface Finish | Matte (can be smoothed) | Glossy |
Pricing
Designed to be budget-friendly and accessible to the community:
• PLA: ₹2 per gram
• ABS: ₹2.5 per gram
The pricing structure is designed to provide easy access to the community at reasonable rates, especially to those who are unable to find 3d printing services elsewhere and do not want to get into the 3d printing hobby.
The pricing includes all raw material costs, electricity, printer wear / tear and a tiny margin on this to cover failed prints and my time / effort costs.
Frequently Asked Questions (Thanks to Slippery’s Thread)
• How do I send files?
DM me your 3D files (.STL or .3MF). Mention any preferred print settings, or I’ll use my defaults.
• Do you offer 3D modeling?
No – I only print from finalized files. Please use freelance services or forums for design help.
• How can I estimate material usage?
Browse these for model ideas & rough weights:
Note: (Final weights will be different, based on required print settings.)
• Do you support multicolor prints?
No – only single-color prints are offered.
• What’s the max print size?
340 x 340 x 230 mm. Larger models must be split into parts.
• What’s your shipping policy?
• Local pickup: Available in Bangalore (Pin: 560064)
• PAN India: Buyer must arrange courier. Packaging cost will be discussed.
Shipping risk lies with the buyer (loss/damage during transit).
• What can be 3D printed?
Almost anything: brackets, custom tools, figurines, cosplay gear, organizers, etc.
• How strong are prints?
Design is the most important factor. All prints will fail eventually, especially under load. My print settings are tuned for durability.
• Why per gram pricing?
Fair, transparent, and based on actual material used.
Example: A 10g keychain would cost ₹20 in ABS.
• Turnaround time?
• Small orders: 3-4 days
• Large orders: 5–7 days depending on workload
Note: Excludes time to obtain filament which is not available with me.
Feel free to post questions and show off your printed parts here. All order related queries should be sent to me via DM to keep the thread clean.
Thanks for your support!
