Get 3D printed
what you can't find anywhere

A one-off gift, a figurine, a spare part the manufacturer stopped selling. You describe the object, a printer near you prints it on demand.

No 3D file? Almost nobody has one

Three routes lead to the object, and two of them need no technical skill at all.

The catalogue

Ready-made creations published by the community. Pick the size, the colour, the material, and order.

My Workshop

17 generators of customisable objects: keyrings, door signs, house numbers, pet tags, vases, plant pots, tealight holders, trinket trays, Gridfinity bins, QR codes, business cards, glasses frames… You set the text and dimensions, watch the object spin in 3D, then download the .stl for free or have it printed.

A 3D modeller

Nobody has designed your object? Ask for a modelling quote: someone creates it for you, then we print it.

What makes the price

Nothing is left to judgement: the quote comes out of a calculation, the same one for everybody.

The material used

The file is sliced on our servers, which work out the grams of filament actually laid down, walls and infill included.

Machine time

A tall thin part ties up the printer for longer than a solid block. That time is what the printer charges, at their own hourly rate.

Delivery

Worked out from the parcel your parts make once laid flat. Collect in person and it disappears.

Every printer sets their own rates: for the same object you see several prices and you choose.

Available materials

Dimap does fused filament printing: nine materials, seventeen colours and three finishes — matte, glossy, fluorescent. Each printer declares the spools they actually have in stock, so you can only order a combination they can honour.

PLA

The most common one. Rigid, precise, the widest choice of colours and finishes. For decor, figurines, gifts. Does not like a car in full sun.

LW-PLA

A PLA that foams as it heats: the part becomes far lighter for the same volume. For model aircraft and anything you want to lighten without shrinking.

PETG

More flexible and more resistant to impact and damp than PLA. The right pick for a part that gets used: bracket, mount, enclosure.

ABS

Handles heat and sands well — this is the one you smooth and paint. For technical parts exposed to temperature.

ASA

ABS that doesn't yellow. Resists UV and weather: the outdoor material — camera mounts, garden enclosures, vehicle parts.

TPU

Soft, elastic, springs back. For a seal, a bumper, an insole, a case, a non-slip pad.

PA (Nylon)

Very resistant to wear and friction, and slightly flexible rather than brittle. The material of gears, hinges and moving parts.

PC (polycarbonate)

The toughest of the set against impact and temperature. For a part under real load, when PETG is no longer enough.

PP (polypropylene)

Flexible, very durable under repeated bending and unaffected by most chemicals. Trays, containers, living hinges that fold thousands of times.

Not every printer stocks all of them: the list you are offered is the combinations actually available around you.

Getting your order

Three options. You pick yours at checkout.

Delivery to your door

Tracked parcel, packed by the printer. The cost is based on the real dimensions of what will be printed, not a flat rate.

Pickup point

The parcel waits for you in a shop nearby, to collect whenever suits you. You choose the point at checkout, from those around your address.

Collect in person

Offered when the printer is close enough. No shipping cost, and you meet the person who made your part.

Frequently asked questions

I don't know what a 3D file is. Can I still order?

Yes, and that's true of most buyers. You can pick a ready-made creation from the catalogue, or build your object in My Workshop, our built-in studio: 17 generators — keyrings, door signs, pet tags, vases, Gridfinity bins, QR codes, glasses frames… — where you set some text, dimensions and colours, and the file is generated for you. No technical skill needed.

Can I have a personalised gift made?

That's the most common use. A figurine, an object engraved with a name, a piece sized exactly to a shelf: you start from a catalogue model, adjust whatever the creator made customisable, and a printer near you makes it.

What about replacing a broken part?

Appliance knobs, gears, clips, brackets: when the manufacturer no longer sells the spare, reprinting it usually costs far less than replacing the appliance. If the model already exists you order it directly; if not, you can ask a modeller to draw it from photos and measurements.

How long until I get my order?

It depends on each printer: their queue, the print time of your part, and how they work. No production lead time is announced automatically — to find out, ask the printer you picked, in the order's messaging. They answer you directly.

The delivery time, on the other hand, is estimated by the carrier at payment. And if the printer is nearby, collecting in person removes that step altogether.

How much does a 3D print cost?

It depends on the amount of material, the machine time and delivery. The quote is calculated automatically from your file sliced on our servers, then shown printer by printer — each has their own rates. It is instant, free and commits you to nothing.

How does delivery work?

The printer prepares a tracked parcel, delivered to your address or dropped at the pickup point of your choice — the list of those around your address is offered at checkout. The cost is based on the real dimensions of what will be printed, not a flat rate, and you see it before you pay.

Can I collect my part?

Yes, when the printer is close enough: collection in person is then offered at quote time, and shipping costs disappear. The exact address is only shared once the order is paid.

What if the part arrives damaged or isn't right?

The dimensions, material, colour and finish you approved are contractual: if the part you receive departs from them, with photos to show it, the order is refunded. Payment goes through the platform and only reaches the printer once the order is complete — a claim filed within seven days suspends that payment, and after that it remains admissible.

Print quality itself is not guaranteed: an obvious defect that makes the part unusable counts as non-conformity, but for everything else — an imperfect finish, a result that disappoints — support looks at each case and opens a mediation with the printer. Changing your mind about a compliant part gives no right to a refund; there too, support can step in.

Describe your object, see the price

The quote is instant and free. You only pay once the printer has agreed.
