FAQs and Prices
At Printapotamus, we believe in fair, transparent, and competitive pricing for all our 3D printing services. Whether you are a tabletop gamer ordering a single miniature, a designer producing prototypes, or a cosplayer working on a large prop, our pricing structure is designed to be simple, clear, and cost-effective.
Our prices are based primarily on material usage and print time, with small setup fees that cover preparation, slicing, and machine calibration. This ensures that you only pay for what you need, while still receiving professional-grade quality and service.
PLA Printing (FDM)
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is one of the most popular 3D printing materials because it is durable, environmentally friendly, and versatile. PLA is excellent for terrain, prototypes, cosplay accessories, and general-purpose models.
At Printapotamus, our PLA pricing starts from €0.20–0.40 per gram. We also charge a small setup fee of €5 to cover preparation.
Benefits of PLA:
- Affordable and strong material
- Wide color range
- Smooth surface finish (Bambu Lab P1S standards)
- Ideal for functional and decorative parts
Resin Printing (SLA/MSLA)
For projects that require ultra-fine detail, resin is the best choice. Resin printing is perfect for miniatures, jewelry models, collectibles, and prototypes that demand smooth surfaces and microscopic precision.
Our resin pricing starts from €0.10–0.20 per ml, with a setup fee of €10. Every resin model is carefully washed, cured, and checked for accuracy before shipping.
Benefits of Resin:
- 12K resolution detail
- Smooth, professional finish
- Perfect for painting or casting
- Excellent for small, intricate models
