- Independent 3D-print shops quoting customer jobs
- Worth noticing
- The page says it records the rates in force with each quote and uses spool density because bundled slicer profiles report zero.
Field notes
The described upload flow accepts STL, OBJ, and 3MF files, then limits customer choices to the shop’s configured printers, materials, and colours. The page says uploaded files go to private storage and are checked against their own checksum before processing. Its status notes distinguish current shop-rate pricing from slicing that is built and proven but not running on the site, and from painted-file handling that has not yet been proven on real files.
