Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Leads Time?
Custom Printing Lead Times
At Printcord, we specialize in bringing your custom 3D designs to life. Since we work with models provided directly by our clients, here’s what you can expect for processing and delivery:
Estimated Lead Times
Process Stage | Estimated Time |
---|---|
Order Confirmation | 1 business day |
Model Review & Preparation | 2-3 business days |
3D Printing & Finishing | 3-7 business days (varies by model complexity) |
Shipping & Delivery | 3-7 business days (depending on location) |
What to Expect
1. Order Confirmation
After placing your order, we’ll review your submitted 3D model and send you a confirmation within 24 hours. If there are any issues with the file format or design compatibility, we’ll contact you for clarification.
2. Model Review & Preparation
Our team will analyze your model for print feasibility, ensuring it meets technical requirements. If adjustments are needed (e.g., scaling or minor repairs), we’ll notify you within 2-3 business days before proceeding.
3. Production
Once your model is ready, we’ll begin printing. Production typically takes 3-7 business days, depending on the size, material, and complexity of your design.
4. Shipping
We ship nationwide, and standard shipping takes 3-7 business days. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout for quicker delivery.
What's the largest size you can print?
Our printers can handle models up to:
• 300mm x 300mm x 300mm
If your design is larger than this, we can help split it into smaller parts for assembly after printing. Contact us to discuss your project!
How much does custom 3D printing cost?
The cost of custom 3D printing depends on several factors:
• Size: Larger models require more PLA material and longer print times.
• Complexity: More detailed or intricate designs may take longer to print.
• Quantity: Bulk orders may qualify for discounts.
At Printcord, we use PLA material for all our 3D prints, which is eco-friendly and perfect for most custom designs.
To get an accurate quote, simply send us your 3D model and we’ll provide a free estimate based on your design’s specifications.
What types of materials can you print with?
At Printcord, we currently only support PLA (Polylactic Acid) material for 3D printing.
PLA is:
• Eco-friendly: Made from renewable resources like cornstarch or sugarcane.
• Easy to Print: Ideal for detailed designs and reliable results.
• Great for Custom Projects: Perfect for keychains, photo frames, home decor, and more.
If you have specific material needs for your project, feel free to contact us, and we’ll help guide you to the best options available!
What file format do you accept?
Accepted File Formats for Custom 3D Printing
At Printcord, we accept the following file formats for custom 3D printing:
1. STL (.stl)
•The most commonly used format for 3D printing.
• Ensures compatibility with most slicing software.
• Ideal for solid objects without color or texture data.
2. OBJ (.obj)
• Supports geometry, texture, and color information.
• Great for models requiring detailed visual elements.
3. STEP (.step or .stp)
• Perfect for CAD designs and engineering parts.
• Ensures high precision and compatibility with various CAD software.
4. 3MF (.3mf)
• A modern format designed specifically for 3D printing.
• Includes detailed information such as color, material, and model integrity.
File Requirements
To ensure the best results:
• File Size: Ensure your file is under 100MB. Larger files may require extra processing time.
• Watertight Models: Files must be free of holes or gaps to avoid print failures.
• Units: Specify the unit of measurement (e.g., millimeters, inches) used in your file.
Is there a minimum order quantity?

Why No MOQ?
• Prototyping & Testing: Perfect for individuals or businesses who need just one model for testing or display.
• Custom Gifts: Order personalized 3D-printed items for one-off gifts.
Small-Scale Projects: Ideal for creators, freelancers, or small businesses.
Bulk Orders
For larger orders, we offer discounts based on volume. Contact us to learn more about our bulk pricing options!
How much will 3D Printing Cost?
What are the Leads Time?
Lead time varies with respect to 3D printing method you opt for.
For a component of say 80 x 80 x 80mm lead times can be as fast as same day using FDM & DLP*
*Cutoff time by 11am
For SLA – Lead time will be 1-3 days & For SLS lead time will be 3-5 days
*Cutoff time by 3Pm
I don't have a 3D cad model, can you help me?
Incase if you have only a picture or an idea, please hire a 3D cad model near you and provide us with the CAD input.
