Is there a minimum order?
Not on web orders. Our standard $10 minimum is waived when you order through 3dprintedmn.com (our Web Special), so you can order one part or thousands.
How long will my order take?
Our current lead time is 1 week from approval. It changes with demand. Larger jobs and custom design work can take longer, and we will tell you up front.
What file types do you accept?
STL, 3MF and OBJ are ready to print. We can also work from STEP files, drawings, photos and measurements, or the broken part itself.
Do you design parts from scratch?
Yes. Our 3D design service is $50/hr with a 1-hour minimum. We also repair broken files for $25 each.
What materials do you offer?
PLA, PETG, PA6 carbon-fiber nylon, nylon, nylon-CF, and high-detail resin. Not sure which you need? Tell us what the part does and we will recommend one.
Do you ship?
Yes, anywhere in the US and internationally. Local customers can pick up at our Faribault shop.
Do you work with businesses, schools and government agencies?
Yes. We accept purchase orders, offer net-30 terms to approved businesses, and handle tax-exempt orders with a valid exemption certificate. We are registered with the Minnesota Supplier Portal.
Are my designs kept confidential?
Yes. Your files are used only to make your parts.
Can you print a file I downloaded online?
Yes. We guarantee print quality, but we can’t guarantee the fit or function of third-party designs we did not create.
