3D Print & Laser cutting services

Choose from our standard pricing options for Maker Space services in our online shop or alternatively please complete the request for quotation form below

The following overarching caveats apply to these services:

  • We use this equipment for our own product fabrication so from time to time this service may be unavailable for makers to request jobs.

  • We will only accept files which are your intellectual property. We are offering this service to help makers create prototypes because we want to foster innovation. Any files which appear to be of adult content or otherwise illegal will be summarily rejected.

  • Completed jobs can be picked up at the Bored Owl warehouse on request or we can deliver via Australia Post. Delivery cost will be included in quotation.

Technical Requirements for the Digital Files:

3D Filament Printer

  • The 3D Model MUST be formatted as an STL file.

  • Your model must fit on a single printer bed (that is 256 x 256 x 256 mm), and if it extends beyond a single printer bed then you’d pay for multiple prints.

  • Wall thickness must be 0.4mm or greater.

  • We will use 15% infill for the inner sections of the model.

  • If there are overhangs or features that require overhangs, then we will include support material automatically.

  • We use PLA for this service but can use other materials on request see note below.

  • This service is non-refundable. If your design contains errors or omissions, then they will be committed to fabrication and are subject to the constraints of 3D Printing.

  • Note: If you have special requests like multi-colour printing or the use of specialty filaments just send us an email and we can provide an invoice. If we need to order in special filaments this cost will be included in the invoice.

Resin 3D Printer

  • Please complete the request for quotation form if you require resin 3D printing.

  • Resin printing requires part washing in isopropyl alcohol so the time for this service is also included in the cost quoted for resin printing. We do not cure resin prints unless its requested specifically and if it is suitable for the resin used for printing. Curing resin prints would be added to the quotation if its required.

  • The 3D Model MUST be formatted as an STL file.

  • Your single model must fit on a single printer bed (that is 200 × 125 × 210 mm for the Form4 but we have other resin printers we may use from time to time).

  • Wall thickness must be 0.4mm or greater.

  • If there are overhangs or features that require overhangs, then we will include support material automatically.

  • We use whatever resin we have available for this service but we can use your choice of material by request and we’d include cost of this in the invoice.

  • This service is non-refundable. If your design contains errors or omissions, then they will be committed to fabrication and are subject to the constraints of 3D Printing.

    Laser cutter and engraver

  • Files must be supplied as SVG and PDF format (vector image). We request two file types to help identify misconfigured SVG files prepared in Inkscape / other third-party software. 

  • 3mm acrylic in our choice of colour however we can use your choice of material and colour by request and we’d include cost of this in the invoice.

  • Image format must be sRGB (not CMYK)

  • Cut lines must be red

  • Engrave areas must be black lines

  • The design must be less than 300mm x 600mm to fit in the HEXA bed for laser cutting.

  • All designs will be cut and etched as-is, we will not invert or change your design.

  • This service is non-refundable. If your design contains errors or omissions then they will be committed to fabrication and are subject to the constraints of laser cutting.
