What we do

Custom 3D printing without the runaround

cheap3dprinting.com is an on-demand 3D printing service for makers, hobbyists, designers, and anyone who needs a custom part. Upload an STL or OBJ, or have our AI draft one with you, and we'll print it in-house on calibrated FDM printers. No quote requests, no minimums, no waiting for a sales rep.

How it works

From file to front door in three steps

Designed to feel like ordering anything else online — not like getting a quote from a vendor.

1

Upload or generate

Drop in an .stl or .obj file (with .mtl for multi-color), or describe the part to our AI designer and it'll draft one for you.

2

Pick a filament

Choose from the colors and materials we have on the shelf right now. Live inventory means no surprise stockouts mid-job.

3

Print & ship

Pay with Stripe. We print on calibrated FDM printers in our studio and ship via USPS anywhere in the US.

Materials

Filament for whatever you're building

PLA for beautiful, easy prints. PETG for tougher functional parts that can take a little heat and moisture. Other filaments as inventory rotates — you'll see the actual in-stock colors for your chosen material the moment you start an order.

Pricing

Pay for filament and machine time. That's it.

Every part is priced as filament grams used × price per gram plus machine time × hourly rate. No setup fees, no minimums, no quote requests. Supports are optional (about 40% surcharge if you opt in). Shipping is the live USPS rate — no markup.
