Services
3D printing for parts, prototypes, and small batches.
The focus is on parts that need to fit, hold, clip, mount, protect, display, or solve a real problem.
Prototype 3D printing
Test the fit of a housing, bracket, or first version of a part before committing to a batch. Share the mating parts and critical dimensions so material and print orientation can be reviewed.
Multi-colour 3D printing
Custom coasters, signs, labels, and display pieces with printed colour detail. Send your artwork or model and colour preferences; colour changes, purge waste, and print time are included in the review.
File review and print preparation
Models are checked for scale, supports, material suitability, and print risks before final pricing. Tell us how the part will be used and which dimensions must fit accurately.
Small batch runs
Repeatable parts quoted with material, print time, setup, and batch handling in mind.
Design support
Simple modelling, file repair, and design adjustments can be scoped before print work starts.
Materials
PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, and SBS prints.
Material choice is matched to what the part needs to do, not just what looks good on the spool.
Multi-colour prints availableFlush colour surfaces, detailed graphics, and purge waste are checked during review so the quote reflects the real print setup.

Request a Quote
Send the job details first. Pricing comes after review.
Upload a print file if you have one. For design work, send enough measurements and photos that the part can be modelled without guessing.
What to Send
No guesswork brief
A faster, cleaner quote starts with the right information. Photos are useful, but dimensions decide whether a designed part will fit.
If you have a file
- Upload STL, 3MF, STEP, OBJ, ZIP, PDF, PNG, or JPG files.
- Confirm the correct units: millimetres, centimetres, or inches.
- Tell me what the part is for, the quantity, colour, material preference, and deadline.
If it must be designed
- Send a sketch with all important dimensions marked clearly.
- Include top, front, side, and close-up photos where possible.
- Mark holes, slots, clips, screw sizes, and any part that must fit another object.
If fit or strength matters
- Show where the part will be used and what it must hold or withstand.
- Mention heat, outdoor use, water, chemicals, movement, or tight clearances.
- Say which dimensions are critical and which areas can be approximate.
Send details
Upload the model, drawing, photos, or a measured sketch with the job details.
Review the job
Material, strength, supports, colour detail, and print risk are checked.
Confirm quote
You receive a confirmed price before printing or design work starts.
Print and handover
Accepted jobs are printed, checked, and prepared for collection or delivery.
Deposits
Deposits happen after the quote is accepted.
This keeps the first conversation easy, while still protecting large jobs, special material purchases, and custom design time.
- Quote requests are reviewed before any payment is needed.
- A deposit may be requested after the quote is accepted, especially for larger jobs or special materials.
- Design work and file repair are quoted separately before that time is spent.
- The balance is settled before collection or delivery.
Before you request a quote
Your 3D printing questions.
What to send, how pricing works, and how to arrange your finished print.
Where can I collect my 3D print?
Make is based in Wilgeheuwel, Roodepoort. Collection, nearby delivery, or courier arrangements are confirmed with your quote before the job starts.
How much does custom 3D printing cost?
Each job is quoted after reviewing the file, size, quantity, material, print time, and support requirements. Multi-colour quotes also account for colour changes and purge waste. Design work and file repair are scoped separately, with pricing confirmed before work starts.
Can I request a print without a 3D model?
Yes. Send a measured sketch, drawings, or photos with the important dimensions and explain what the part needs to do. Simple modelling and design adjustments can be reviewed and quoted before printing. Photos alone may not provide enough information for an accurate fit.
Can you print a single prototype or a small batch?
Both can be reviewed. For a prototype, explain what you need to test and which dimensions matter. For a batch, include the quantity, material, colour, and deadline so setup and repeat printing can be included in the quote.
Which files can I send for a quote?
Upload STL, 3MF, STEP, OBJ, ZIP, PDF, PNG, or JPG files using the quote form. Include the model units, quantity, intended use, and any critical dimensions. Drawings and images can support a design request; they are not necessarily ready-to-print models.
