Can I pay someone to 3D print something?

Have a 3D Printer?
Maximize it & make some money!

You probably bought a 3D printer because you are creative and you love new technology, but you are finding that your printer is unused most of the time. You can change that, share your passion with a vibrant community of entrepreneurs and creators and make money along the way.

At Print a Thing we are on a mission to democratize 3D printing and make it available to everyone. Join us and turn your printer and your passion into a money making business. We do all the calculations for you. All you have to do is select the job you want from a list of jobs and follow our instructions on how to print and mail the items.

Print Service

3DTomorrow offer a custom 3D print service, for an instant quote, simply upload your file above. You can upload STL, OBJ and STEP files to our instant quote service. Avoid STEP files if possible, to reduce the chance of conversion errors. Most CAD programs will be able to export to one of these file types, but if you run into any difficulties please shoot us an email.

Trusted by exclusive print service platforms like: 3DHubs, Craftcloud, Make Platform; 3DTomorrow has offered a bespoke 3D print service for over five years. Because of this, you will receive great quality results at more affordable prices by coming direct, zero commission!

We understand that everyone loves to receive their parts quick, so your order will generally start production the same day, particularly if submitted early in the day. Inevitably, larger orders: many files, colours or bigger units will take longer to produce. For MJF orders, we run three batch prints a week, so depending when you submit your order, the print may start the day after.

If you have any questions, drop us a line by email, or use the messenger service (bottom right corner). Our FAQ page, may also answer some of your questions. For bulk enquiries, time sensitive orders, or special requests it is always best to get in touch.

Further Information

Not sure what to print? My Mini Factory, Thingiverse or Cults3D, have a huge range of files which you can browse through. If something catches your eye, then you can try out our 3D Printing Service.

3DTomorrow is an eco conscious print service, we take steps to reduce our carbon footprint. Print waste is actively recycled, packaging is reused where possible, we even created an entire filament line to reduce our consumption of plastic by over 20%. To see our filament, click here.

Print Service FAQs

Specialities

We have worked on many projects over the years, from intricate assemblies to full size models. Naturally, the experience gained over this time is transferable to the new projects we receive every day. We will happily receive any project you need help with, however we thought we would share a few areas where we have noteworthy experience and our personal favourites:

FDM

• Low cost large items. A print that lasts 5 days is a nightmare for some print bureaus, however it is a dream for us. We have confidence in our machines and have watched them complete multi-day prints many times over. For this reason, we do not consider long production times high risk and therefore do not add a premium to the price. You will be hard pressed to find a better priced print service in this bracket. Drop us an email for a quote.
• Architecture models. This is a team favourite, simple because we love the way printed architectural models look. The efficiency of the process is also head and shoulders above the traditional methods that can be used to produced architectural models. We have special processes for the production of architectural models which can drastically reduce the price, so please get in touch if you would like to discuss this.
• TPU – Flexible prints. The industry recognises TPU as a difficult to print material; its flexibility encourages blocks as pressure builds. At 3DTomorrow, we have a number of modified machines specifically for TPU production. Precisely constrained extrusion pathways prevent any material blockages. The largest TPU print we have completed took 130 hours! TPU offers both flexibility and strong layer adhesion. As a result, TPU generally produces the most robust parts out of all the FDM materials.
• Non optimised one offs. Every now and then a print comes along which defies all the design rules for 3D printing, we take these on as a challenge and have had some excellent results here.

MJF

• Batch run MJF. The price of MJF can fall quite considerably as quantity increases. If you would like to produce items at scale, always ask for a custom quote. (Instant Quote: £500+).
