Our 3D Printers

Prusa 3D printer

Prusa i3-MK3S+

Prusa is the workhorse of our 3D Printer collection. It is reliable, fast, and prints with a variety of materials. The Prusa is able to print objects up to 8 inches wide, 8 inches long, and 9 inches high. The Studio has a selection of colors to choose from.

Fees: 5¢ per gram


Creality CR-10S Pro

This filament printer features a larger frame and build volume (which allows us to produce larger objects). It is able to print objects up to 11 inches wide, 11 inches long, and 15 inches high. The Studio has a selection of colors to choose from.

Fees: 5¢ per gram


FormLabs Form 2

Unique among our 3D printers, this technology uses liquid resin to create objects. This printer is excellent for prototyping because of the resolution lasers can produce. Resin prints are also incredibly durable once cured. Print times are generally slower than a traditional filament printer, but a higher level of detail is the result. Liquid Resin is available in white, grey or black only.

Fees: 5¢ per milliliter
