On-demand 3D printing service


Recommended Posts

Alright I'm back! I've finished the process of becoming a vendor and here I am! 

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//

Pricing: 

My pricing per order is 10$ for processing and set-up, and 2.75$ per print hour. shipping is flat rate which you can find the rates here: https://www.ups.com/assets/resources/media/en_US/retail_rates.pdf#page=74

example: a 10 hour print would be 10 + (2.75 * 10) + <your choice of shipping> = total cost

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//

Materials: 

Expected resolution is 0.2mm x 0.4mm x 0.4mm voxel size. voxel is volumetric pixel. Imagine that your part is made up of legos 0.2mm x 0.4mm x 0.4mm in size. That's the dimensional accuracy that you 

could acheive typically. Post-processing methods can be used to make up for this inaccuracy by over-drilling holes and sanding surfaces. 

I can print ABS, PLA, PETG, and TPU

the current colors I have in my stock for various materials are as such: 

ABS: red, blue, green, black, white

PETG: black, red 

PLA: black, red, green, blue, sky blue, yellow, white 

if you don't see a color or material you want listed let me know and I can get it, it may add up to two weeks to your order as I have to order that material and wait for it to arrive.  

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//

Disclaimers

some disclaimers that I believe I need to cover based on previous interactions: 

I have been asked in the past both on, and off, this forum to print certain items that would be "questionable" from a legal stand-point, so here is my take on that

1) I am a printing service, I am selling you time on my printer, I am not selling you a printed item I am printing an item that you are providing me with the instructions (or language) to print. 

People ask about printing things off of thingiverse as they are licensed under a "no commercial" public license. This means that you cannot use their design for your

own profit, but this does not mean you can't pay someone to print one for you personally. It means that you cannot have me print of a number of models of a design for you that you 

then market as an item or a product. 

2) I will not print anything that is a"regulated" or "restricted" item. For example: receivers such as AR-15 lower receivers, or glock lower receivers ...... etc. I'm not making a political statement, if it were up to me you could buy your choice of arm from a vending machine at the air port that accepts bitcoin. This is just the law of the land and it carries very real penalties for violating it. I'm not gonna risk the site's integrity or my freedom to print something that could get me 10 years in prison.

3) I wont print a part if I reasonably believe it will be used to commit a crime. I typically don't care what people ask that I print, i get requests for obscure parts with no context as to what the parts do or go 

to, but if you ask me to print a full-auto sear the answer is gonna be no. again, this isn't anything to do with my political stance I simply don't want to draw any unwanted attention to this website or to myself by being involved with someone else's commission of a crime. 

4) All of the proceeds for prints are going to fuel my UNENDING BID FOR WORLD DOMINATION!!!!!!!! - I'm thinking my next big project will be a freeze ray or a spray that turns any normal pair of comfortable pants into skinny jeans so tight you'll get inducted into a crappy alt-pop band for style alone. If you ever hear on the news of a large message carved in the moon "mseals22 rocks!"then you'll you know that unlike your tax dollars, your money from your print went to good use!

I assume you have special pricing for a tac sack?

sure, its a ~2.5 hour print, but ill do it for $30 + shipping, or you can pick it up in the Knoxville area.  thats 30% infill, and 3ply outter wall, and full support. If you have other specs let me know, and let me know a material and color and I can see what I have on hand. if you want to go ahead ill run it off asap. the picture below is the rendering of the object from the side with the support pillars in place on overhangs, and of the 3D model.

I’m so glad the tac sack comment is getting some attention!  I may look around for some ideas, I’ve seen some good mag holders from other folks. Or the middle finger back up sights are good ones

I just printed a tac sac off for fun and I wasn't pleased with how the support turned out, but it's not bad (I'll put pictures up tomorrow). If theres a thing that theres some interest in and I can do multiple off a single print then I can do a bunch of them at once and make them cheap. I would just have to see what the cheapest shipping is I can find so I could price it all into one. I want shipping plus the thing to be in the $15 to $25 dollar range.

Well it finally happened, I finally got a good tac sac design working. Looked like their was some interest from some folks, so I decided to give it a shot. The execution looks good....I.. I think......., but I have to give you guys some props! I went from doing neuclear instrument shielding out of ABS plastic to making rail mount juevos, if that's not a 180 I havent seen one.

I'm so happy to see that this thread includes printing face masks as well as rail mount scrotums.
