- Small machine shops with prior quote records
- Worth noticing
- The sample pairs a public Xometry Mill Test Part print with four explicitly fictional quote rows; the closest row lists 3.5 setup and 0.4 run hours.
Field notes
The intake accepts up to 15 photos or files, 25 MB each, including photos of paper quotes; the submitter is asked for old-job hours and material, not customer prices. In the worked example, SAMPLE-014 is the nearest row, while the page separately flags unresolved quantity, temper, thread-insert, marking, and finish details. The site identifies the print as public and the four comparison rows as fictional.
