Upload your model
Drop STL, 3MF, or OBJ files (with MTL if needed); your models appear in the list and load in the viewer.
Print App Wiki
How the print app works
Configure settings
Pick material, color, infill, walls, and quality; the app slices in the background to estimate time and cost.
Review price & dimensions
Check the 3D preview, bounding box, and live quote before you commit-orientation matches how we print.
Add to cart & order
Add lines to your cart, adjust quantities, and complete checkout-we print and ship from there.
Settings guide
Layer height
Each printed layer is one slice of your model. Thinner layers show finer detail and smoother curves but take longer; thicker layers print faster with a more visible layer line.
| Height | Surface detail | Print time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Very fine (≤0.12 mm) |
Highest |
Longest | Miniatures, tiny text, jewelry, max smoothness |
| Medium (0.16 mm) |
High |
Longer | Detailed props, organic shapes, visible layers still subtle |
| Standard (0.20 mm) |
Balanced |
Typical | Everyday parts; great default for most models |
| Coarse (≥0.24 mm) |
Lower |
Shorter | Large prints, quick prototypes, draft builds |
Settings guide
Infill
Infill is the internal lattice inside a print. These steps cover most needs: 10% is enough for many parts; 100% is overkill unless you truly need solid fill.
| Infill | Strength | Print time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10% |
Enough for most prints |
Fastest | Figurines, vases, low-load parts |
| 20% |
Balanced |
Still quick | General use, everyday prints |
| 40% |
Stronger |
Moderate | Brackets, clips, loaded parts |
| 60% |
Very strong |
Slower | Heavy-duty parts, high stress |
| 100% |
Overkill for most jobs |
Longest | Only when you really need full density |
Settings guide
Walls
Perimeters are the solid shells around the outside. 1 wall is the most economical; 2 is a typical default; 3 is strong; more than 4 is only when you really need extra stiffness. Thicker shells also help hide infill on thin features.
| Walls | Shell thickness | Feel | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Eco, cheapest |
Lightest shell | Minimum plastic, fastest; light decorative parts |
| 2 |
Standard |
Balanced | Most everyday parts |
| 3 |
Strong |
Stiff, solid | Handles, structural pieces, impact |
| >4 |
Extra rigid |
Very thick shell | Only if you really need maximum shell strength |
Tip:
If you need a part to feel rigid when squeezed, raise walls before maxing infill-shell stiffness often matters more than internal fill for "solid" feel.
Materials
PLA, ABS & ASA at a glance
PLA
Polylactic acid — easy to print, plant-based options available, great surface finish for prototypes and display pieces.
- Strength
- Moderate
- Heat resistance
- ~60 °C
- UV resistance
- Poor
- Flexibility
- Rigid
Best for: Prototypes, action figures, indoor decor, low-stress parts.
ABS
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene — tougher than PLA with better heat tolerance; classic choice for enclosures and functional prints.
- Strength
- High
- Heat resistance
- ~85 °C
- UV resistance
- Moderate
- Flexibility
- Slight give
Best for: Enclosures, interlocking parts, higher-temp indoor use.
ASA
Acrylic styrene acrylonitrile — similar toughness to ABS with excellent UV stability made for sun and weather exposure.
- Strength
- High
- Heat resistance
- ~95 °C
- UV resistance
- Excellent
- Flexibility
- Rigid
Best for: Outdoor mounts, automotive-adjacent parts, sun-facing fixtures.
