At Tlete the price is material + print time + handling: $0.09 per gram of PLA ($0.10 PETG, $0.15 TPU), plus $0.75 per print hour, plus $3 per order, with a $6 minimum. A cedar keychain comes to about $6 and a phone stand to about $11. Upload your file to the instant quote for your exact estimate; we confirm the final price on WhatsApp before printing.

STL, OBJ and 3MF files work in the instant quote. If you only have a photo, a sketch or a broken part, send it through the custom request form or on WhatsApp with the measurements, and we tell you if we can model it and what it costs.

One piece can be up to 180 × 180 × 180 mm, the build volume of our Bambu Lab A1 Mini. Bigger objects can be printed in parts and glued, which we quote case by case.

PLA for decor, gifts, models and most everyday objects; PETG for parts that need to be tougher or handle water, sun and some heat; TPU for flexible things like bumpers and grips. We don't print ABS, ASA, nylon, resin or metal.

One colour per print, from the filaments we have: PLA Glow Blue (glows in the dark), PLA Tough White, PLA Basic Black, PLA Basic Purple, PLA Basic Blue, PETG Translucent Blue, TPU 95A Red (flexible). We can't mix colours inside one print, but a model made of separate parts can have each part in a different colour.

The instant quote shows the print time of your model. We confirm the ready date and delivery on WhatsApp before we start, based on the queue that day.

Cash on delivery, or Whish Money. Prices are in US dollars. For large orders we may ask for part of the price upfront by Whish; we tell you before printing.

We can quote courier shipping abroad, but for a single small print the shipping often costs more than the print itself. It makes sense for bigger orders; message us with your country and we quote it.

Often, yes. Send a photo of the part next to a ruler, its measurements and what it does. Simple knobs, clips, covers and brackets are good candidates; parts that carry heavy loads or get hot (above about 70 °C) are not.

The instant quote reads your file inside your browser; it is not uploaded unless you send a request. We use your file only to print your order and never share or sell it.

We only print files you have the right to use, and we don't print weapons or weapon parts, or anything meant to harm.
