Based on 3 printers on order duty (3 reserved by the farm for production), running 22h/day at 30.4 g/hour (measured from completed jobs), 100 g per order, plus 1 day for packing and carrier hand-off. Large batches spread across every free printer, so the quote assumes the fleet stays available. Need a firm date or dedicated machines? Talk to the operator.

Serverless 3D printing

Print API — no printer required

Send us an STL, .gcode, or Bambu .gcode.3mfplus a shipping address. We return an order code, you pay at submission, and we print & ship it to your customer. Check status anytime by code.

1Add a card + generate a key. On your profile. Orders auto-bill to your card on file.
2POST your file + shipping details. We validate, price, and charge your card automatically.
3Track. We print and ship; poll GET /api/print/orders/:code for status + tracking.

Developer guide

How to send a print order

Four steps from a sliced file to a shipped print. Everything is a standard HTTPS request — use curl, any language, or our CLI.

Add a card + generate a key

On your Profile page, add a card on file, then open “Developer API key” and click Generate. Copy it once — it’s shown only that time.

Prepare your file

Export an STL/GLB model, or slice in Bambu Studio / OrcaSlicer and save the .gcode.3mf. We fit it to the 340×320×340mm plate.

POST the order

Send the file + shipping details with your key as a Bearer token. We validate, price, and charge your card on file automatically — no payment step.

Track

The response returns the order code + amount charged. Poll the status endpoint (or the code page) for progress and tracking.

Endpoints

POST	/api/print/orders	Submit a print order (file + shipping). Returns a code + payment link.
GET	/api/print/orders/:code	Get order status, cost, and tracking.
