06 · FAQ
Questions, answered
The essentials about pricing, files, materials and delivery.
01How much does 3D printing cost?
Every price is computed live from your model's actual volume: material (per gram) + printing time (per hour) + a €2 handling fee per order. A personalized keychain or bookmark starts around €3.88; a large vase typically lands between €12 and €28. The quote you see in the 3D configurator is the exact price you pay.
02What file formats can I upload?
We accept STL, OBJ, GLB/GLTF and 3MF files up to 100 MB. The file is analyzed right in your browser — volume, dimensions and price — without uploading anything to a server until you decide to order.
03How does the photo lithophane work?
Choose the Photo Lithophane in the catalog, upload any photo, and your browser converts it into a grayscale relief panel — dark areas print thicker, bright areas stay thin. When backlit, the image appears in soft tones of light. Your photo is only attached to the order when you check out.
04How fast will I get my print?
We print in Paris and ship across the EU. Most orders are printed within 2–3 business days and delivered within 3–5 business days of payment. You get an email with a tracking link as soon as your order ships.
05Which materials do you offer?
PLA (everyday prints, widest color range, translucent white for lithophanes), PETG (tough, water- and UV-resistant — great for planters and outdoor parts), TPU (flexible, rubber-like) and resin/SLA for ultra-detailed miniatures and jewellery. Every material works with the live quote.
