A one-off Cloudflare check that keeps automated abuse out of our quote and order system. Usually it passes by itself in a second or two.
Cloudflare checks your browser, not your file: your model stays on your device until you save a quote or order. How this works
Model upload unlocks after the security check
Complete the check above, then drop or choose your .stl or .3mf.
Your model stays yours. It stays on your device for the estimate and is uploaded only if you email yourself the quote or submit an order. If ordered, it is used to review, prepare and print your item, then deleted with stored production files within 30 days after dispatch, cancellation or refund. Model-file privacy.
Anonymous price and usage bands may be added to daily totals unless disabled in Cookie settings. With Analytics consent, journey data may include the filename, estimate, settings and stage reached—not the model itself. Avoid personal or confidential filenames.

Common questions
More in the full FAQ.
Your model stays on your device while the estimate is calculated and is uploaded only if you email yourself the quote (kept 7 days) or submit an order. It is not added to a permanent design library: we use it only to review, prepare, print and quality-check your order, and for an immediate quality issue or authorised reprint. The uploaded model and stored production files are deleted within 30 days after dispatch, cancellation or refund, so a repeat order requires a new upload. We may add coarse anonymous price and usage bands directly to daily service totals unless you object in Cookie settings. With Analytics consent we may also record the filename, estimate, settings and checkout stage for up to 90 days, but never the model contents. See the model-file section of our Privacy Notice for details.
An STL is the most common 3D printing file format. It describes the surface of a 3D model as a mesh of triangles, ready to be sliced and printed. Almost every CAD and 3D modelling program can export one, and it's what you upload here to get an instant quote.
3MF is a newer 3D printing format that stores the model plus extra data such as colours, units and print settings in a single file. We accept both STL and 3MF. If you want a multicolour print, upload a painted 3MF through our custom request form.
The price you see is the price you pay. The moment you upload a file we measure its volume, size and weight right in your browser and price it from real material and machine costs, then you pay that exact total securely at checkout. We check every file by hand before printing — and if we ever can't print your file as quoted, we refund you in full. Quotes are locked for 7 days.
