How to Price Custom 3D Print Jobs
Base your quote on real costs: material, power, time, and post-processing. Add a buffer for reprints and a margin that makes the job worth it. Consistency matters more than perfection.
Use a Calculator Before Sending the Quote
If you want consistent pricing, the 3D print cost, price, and profit calculator helps you estimate costs and set a baseline before you send a quote.
Use it when you change materials, adjust margins, or price a job you have not done before.
