Innovative Design Studio

Print my file.

Upload your model and choose your options. We slice it, then show you the exact price, line by line. We print it and post it, or you collect it from the studio.

  1. 1

    Upload your model

    • FDM printing
    • STL, 3MF, OBJ, STEP
    • Up to 20 MB a file
    • Files with up to 4 colours
    • Accepts .3mf with multiple plates
    • Singapore only
  2. 2

    Choose your options

    Pick the material and colours, the layer height, the infill and the finish. Set a quantity for each model.

  3. 3

    See your exact price

    We slice the file, so the price comes from the material it really uses. Save the quote and it is held for 14 days.

  4. 4

    Pay, then we print

    Check out online. A person loads and starts every print.

Your place in the queue

May we use a random session identifier, kept only while this browser is open, to give your files their own place in the queue? Without it, your files wait in a shared queue and can be slower at busy times.

Your models

Enter the id you saved, such as QT-ABCD2345EFGH.

Drag your models here, or pick them from your machine.

Up to 20 models.

Materials

Every material is priced per gram, so the price follows from how much material your part takes.

How it works

How is the price worked out?

From the material your part really uses once it is sliced, including supports, purge and the purge tower. You see a price only after the slice is done.

Which material should I choose?

We print in ALT TAB PLA, PLA Plus, Matte PLA, Silk PLA, Galaxy PLA, Gradient PLA, Marble PLA, Wood PLA, Carbon Fibre PLA, PETG, Marble PETG, Carbon Fibre PETG, Bambu PLA Basic, Bambu PLA Matte. PLA: The default. Easy, cheap, not for hot cars. PETG: Tougher and slightly flexible. Good for clips. Colours and price per gram are under the materials.

Can I print in more than one colour?

Yes, up to 4 colours in one file. Changing colour wastes material, and that is part of the price.

How long does it take, and what does delivery cost?
  1. Printing usually starts within 1 working dayAn indication only, and it can change. It depends on the queue of prints.
  2. Your model's own print time, which comes from its quoteA big part or a slow profile keeps a machine busy for longer. Finishing options can add working days on top, as the first table shows. Changing the material changes the cost, which is charged separately.
  3. Then delivery transitThe second table gives each option's transit time and price. Collecting from the ALT TAB studio has no transit at all: we message you when it is ready.

Each option's days, price and any cut-off time come from the delivery settings.

Do I need supports, and do they cost extra?

Supports are added by default, and you can turn them off in the options. Their material is in the price. They show in orange in the preview and are removed from the finished part.

Can I save a quote and come back?

Yes. You get an ID and we keep your file for 7 days. Saving does not order anything. Once you order, we keep the file.

How do I pay?

At checkout when online payment is on. Otherwise keep your quote reference and we will contact you.

What if a print fails or looks wrong?

We reprint a failed print and tell you; how soon depends on our timeline. Colours on screen and in the preview are indicative.

What gets printed, and who is it for?
  • Brackets, clips and mounting plates that have to actually fit
  • Replacement parts for something that broke and cannot be bought
  • Enclosures, cases and covers for a board or a battery
  • Jigs, fixtures and alignment guides for a workshop or a lab
  • Prototypes: one of a thing you want to hold before you make fifty
  • Display pieces and larger models
  • Cosplay armour, props and wearable pieces
  • Desk objects, signage and gifts

If you sell the things you design, the print-on-demand side is a better fit: we hold the stock and invoice you monthly.

What can go wrong?
Needs review

The shape needs a person to look at it before it is payable. It is a normal state, not a fault.

Not printable

We do not think the model can be printed as it stands. “Not printable” is about the file, not about you or the idea: some walls are thinner than a nozzle, some meshes have holes, some parts are bigger than every machine we have. You get the specific reason and, where there is one, the fix. If a model is never printed, we will work it out with you directly. Payment gateway fees may still apply.

What we may ask you when we come back

  • What the part has to do, in one sentence.
  • The one dimension that has to fit, if there is one.
  • Whether you have the original CAD file.
When we quote by hand instead

Two things stop us showing a price, and neither one turns into a made-up number.

The model cannot be printed as it stands. The quote screen names the issue in plain words and offers a hand quote instead. The hand quote costs nothing.

The engine is not answering. Slicing needs a service outside this website. When it is busy or unreachable the price panel says so and offers a hand quote. It never shows an old price for a model nobody just sliced.

Tell us the part and what it has to do, by email, phone or the notes on a quote, and a person prices it and comes back to you. A model we could not price becomes a request in the studio's own queue, so it is held by somebody rather than lost in an inbox.

What do the words on my order mean?

Colour never carries the meaning on its own; the word does. Quote the reference and the word when you ask us about a job.

Order and quote statuses a customer sees, and what each one means
StatusWhat it means for your job
UploadingThe file is being read. Nothing has been priced yet.
AnalysingThe slicer is working out how many grams and how many minutes the part needs.
Needs reviewPriced, but the geometry needs a person. An operator looks at it before you pay.
QuotedA firm price, held for the validity window. Pay it and the job is scheduled.
ExpiredThe validity window passed and filament costs may have moved. Ask for a re-price.
Not printableWe do not think this model can be printed as it stands. It is a conversation, not a rejection.
Awaiting paymentThe order is created and waiting for payment. Nothing is printed yet.
In productionOn a machine, or waiting its turn on one.
Quality checkPrinted. A person is checking the dimensions and the finish.
Ready to shipPacked. Either going in a van or waiting for you at the studio.
ShippedWith the courier, with a tracking number on the order.
DeliveredIt arrived. Tell us if something is wrong with it.
Needs attentionSomething needs a decision from us or from you — a failed print, an address, a payment. Always has a reason attached.
What we will not pretend
  • Layer lines always exist. This is how FDM printing works.
  • Files are never public. They are not served from this site.
What we will not print
  • Miniatures. We do not print minis, tabletop figures or other miniatures. Our printing is FDM, which lays plastic down in layers and cannot hold that much fine detail.
  • Weapons and their parts. Firearms, gun parts, magazines and suppressors, and blades or knuckle items made as weapons. These are illegal here.
  • Anything illegal or made to get round security. Drug paraphernalia, and items made to defeat locks, tags or other security devices.
  • Designs that are not yours to copy. Branded or licensed characters, logos and products you do not have the right to reproduce.
  • Offensive material. Obscene, hateful or harassing items.
  • Regulated or safety-critical parts. Medical devices, parts a person's safety depends on, and anything for food contact. We do not promise food-safe, because printed layers hold bacteria.

We may refuse any model, and we will say why.
