Simple Process
How It Works
1. Send us your files.
We print from CAD files — STL, STEP, OBJ, or 3MF. Don't have files yet? We can create them from your measurements or references for an additional fee. You can also browse our design library for ready-to-print options.
2. We quote it — usually within 1 business day.
We'll recommend the right material, tell you exactly what it'll cost, and give you a clear timeline. Most orders take 2–4 weeks from approval to delivery. No pressure, no commitment until you say go.
3. We print it in our Hamilton workshop.
Every order is printed on commercial-grade machines, inspected before it leaves, and either shipped to you or available for local pickup in Hamilton, MT. Typical turnaround is 2–4 weeks.
4. Need more later? We keep your files.
Reorders are a quick message away. Same quality, same specs, no setup time.
Our Capabilities
What We 3D Print
Prototypes
Get a physical version of your idea before committing to production. Test, iterate, and move forward with confidence.
Production Runs
From 10 to 10,000+ identical parts. Consistent quality across the batch, volume pricing, and no tooling costs.
Replacement & Custom Parts
Discontinued brackets, fittings, housings — send us the CAD file and we'll print it. Need a file created? That's an add-on service.
Design Library Prints
Party decor, wedding items, toys, tool mounts, battery mounts, home organization. Ready-to-print designs — no design fees required.
Jigs, Fixtures & Tooling
Custom workshop tools, assembly fixtures, drill guides, and production aids designed around your specific workflow.
Enclosures & Housings
Electronics enclosures, sensor housings, custom boxes — functional parts designed for real-world use.
Material Selection
3D Printing Materials
You don't need to know the difference between materials to get started — that's our job. Tell us what the part needs to do and we'll recommend what makes sense.
- Will it be outside? → We'll use something UV-stable that won't degrade in Montana sun.
- Does it need to flex or compress? → We have rubber-like materials built for that.
- Will it get hot — engine bay, near equipment, in the sun? → There are materials rated for heat.
- Is it structural — load-bearing, mechanical, high-stress? → We'll match the material to the application.
- Is it a prototype or display piece? → Standard material works great and keeps costs down.
Full Materials Reference
| Material | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | Prototypes, display models, hobby parts | Most affordable, wide color selection |
| PETG | Functional parts, enclosures, outdoor use | Strong, moisture and impact resistant |
| ASA / ABS | UV-exposed parts, automotive, high-heat | UV and heat stable, ideal for outdoor |
| TPU | Gaskets, grips, flexible components | Flexible, rubber-like, shock absorbing |
| Nylon / PA | Gears, hinges, structural brackets | High strength-to-weight, excellent wear resistance |
Max print size: approximately 256mm × 256mm × 256mm (about 10 inches per side). Larger assemblies can be printed in sections.
Common Questions
3D Printing FAQ
Do I need a design file to get started?
Yes — we print from CAD files (STL, STEP, OBJ, or 3MF). If you don't have one, we can create it for an additional fee. You can also check our design library for ready-made options. Either way, just tell us what you need and we'll figure out the best path.
How much does custom 3D printing cost?
It depends on size, material, and quantity. Most single parts start under $20. Production runs get more cost-effective per unit as quantity goes up. Request a quote — we respond within 1 business day.
How long does 3D printing take?
Most orders take 2–4 weeks from approval to ship. We'll give you an exact timeline with your quote. If you have a deadline, let us know and we'll tell you honestly whether we can hit it.
What's the largest part you can print?
A single piece up to roughly 256mm × 256mm × 256mm (about 10 inches on each side). Larger assemblies can be split into sections and printed separately.
What file formats do you accept?
STL, STEP, OBJ, and 3MF. If you're not sure what you have, send it and we'll figure it out. If you don't have CAD files, we can create them for an additional fee.
Can you handle production runs?
Yes. Production runs are a regular part of what we do — from 10 to 10,000+ parts. Get in touch with your specs and we'll quote the full run. Standing order arrangements available for recurring needs.
Do you ship, or is it local pickup only?
Both. We ship anywhere in the US and offer local pickup in Hamilton, MT. Customers across the Bitterroot Valley and Ravalli County are welcome to come by.
What makes you different from online 3D printing services?
You talk to the people doing the work. Not a ticketing system, not an outsourced call center. We're a family shop in Hamilton, Montana — you get personal attention, honest timelines, and someone who actually cares whether the part works.
