### What a 3D print costs with us

No two parts are alike, so there is no flat price per part. The price is based on the material and print time your model actually requires. You see it after uploading the file and choosing the settings, before anything reaches the cart. The calculation is free and non-binding.

### What makes up the price

1. **Volume and material use** – How much plastic your model actually requires.
2. **Print time** – Determined by the size, layer height and infill.
3. **Material** – Standard plastics cost less than carbon-fibre-reinforced or technical materials.
4. **Scale and quantity** – Larger parts cost more, while identical parts become cheaper per unit.

### Fixed amounts

- **Minimum order value** CHF 12 per order, including shipping
- **Minimum quantity** none – a single part is welcome
- **Standard shipping below CHF 30 order value** CHF 5.90 (Swiss Post)
- **Standard shipping from CHF 30 order value** CHF 9 (Swiss Post)
- **Tracking** For parcels; small letter shipments have no tracking link
- **Shipping from CHF 80 order value** free
- **Personal delivery anywhere in Switzerland** CHF 50
- **Your choice of layer height** no surcharge
- **Support removal** included by Printimir; remove it yourself for a CHF 1 credit

### Several identical parts

Every additional identical part costs less: the second costs 93% of the single-part price, the third 88%, parts four to nine 82%, and the tenth and every further part 75%. The discount appears automatically when you increase the quantity in the cart, so small production runs are best placed as one order.

### If you do not have a file yet

In that case the price cannot be calculated automatically because the model has to be created first. Describe your project and send photos, a sketch or known measurements. You receive a personal assessment and price before any work begins. You can also order just the 3D model without having it printed by us.

### Frequently asked questions

#### Can I see the price without creating an account?

Yes. You can upload and configure your model, see the price and place the order without signing up. After successful payment, we create an account linked to your email so you can track the order.

#### Why does my small part cost more than expected?

The CHF 12 minimum order value, including shipping, matters most for very small parts. Ordering several parts together or increasing the quantity spreads that amount across the order.

#### Are discounts available?

Yes. Newsletter subscribers get 10% off their first order. With the referral link in your account, you both get CHF 5 once the referred person has received their first order. From 2 pieces of the same model, a quantity discount applies automatically.

#### Will I receive a refund if my model cannot be printed?

Yes. If we cannot print your model for technical reasons, we cancel the order and refund the full amount.

#### What does a multicolour print cost?

If your file has several parts, you can give each part its own colour in the same material (PLA or PETG). Printed as separate parts, it costs CHF 3 for 2 colours, CHF 5 for 3, CHF 7 for 4 and CHF 20 for 5 colours. Printed in one piece with the AMS colour changer, each colour change adds material and print time (up to 4 colours). You see the exact price before you order. Multicolour orders take 2 working days longer.
