Upload and print

The /in/print page takes your own file, checks it, weighs it with a real slice, and gives you an instant price in rupees. Press Request this print, fill in a short form, and the team replies by email with the final price and how to pay. Our print partner in India prints the part and delivers it across India. You choose material, colour, quality, quantity, scale and infill; the price comes from the grams the slicer says will leave the nozzle. You do not need an account to upload, see a price or send a request.

What you can upload#

A mesh must fit within 340 × 320 × 340 mm. The three dimensions are sorted before they are compared, so a part that only fits when rotated still passes. An already sliced file skips this check: your slicer already arranged it on a plate, and the footprint it reports can include purge lines and prime towers that are not part of the model.

How the upload works#

The bytes go from your browser straight to storage, not through the app. There is a 32 MiB cap on request bodies in front of the service, and anything over it is rejected before the app ever sees it, so a 100MB model could never arrive as an ordinary POST. Instead the app hands the browser a signed URL, the browser uploads to storage, and the app validates the stored object afterwards.

1. 1
   The page asks for an upload URL

   It sends the filename and the size. Format and size are checked here, before a single byte moves: an unsupported extension or an oversize file is refused now rather than after the transfer.

   jsonCopy

   { "fileName": "bracket.stl", "size": 48213004 }

2. 2
   Your browser uploads to storage

   A signed PUT URL comes back, valid for 15 minutes, pointing at a staging path. The transfer is browser to storage, so its speed is your connection, not ours.

3. 3
   We validate what actually landed

   The app measures the stored object itself rather than trusting the size the browser claimed, parses the bytes that actually landed, and only then copies the exact bytes it validated out of staging into their final path. That copy is the point of the staging step: the signed URL stays writable for its full 15 minutes, so validating and printing from the same writable object would let a small part be priced and a large one printed.

4. 4
   The model is weighed

   As soon as the file is stored, a slice is queued in the background. Until it lands the page shows Calculating, because showing an estimate and then quietly replacing it reads as the site changing its mind about the price. Move the scale slider and, once it rests, that size is sliced too: the weight line reads Weighing at 300% until it lands, and a size you have already weighed comes back at once.

Uploading without an account#

Signed out, you can upload, import from a link, move the scale slider, check a project's colours and send a request, and every price is the same real slice. The page remembers your uploads with a cookie in this browser rather than an account, so it needs cookies allowed for the site.

• Request this print does not ask you to sign in. The form asks for your name, email, an optional phone number, your city and your six digit PIN code, with room for notes.
• Only the browser that uploaded a file can see it. A signed out upload is not in anyone's history and not in the community gallery.
• A signed out browser can upload 10 files an hour and 30 a day, and import 10 links an hour. There are also limits per connection and a daily ceiling across every signed out visitor. Each refusal says that signing in is the way past it, because an account has its own, larger allowance. File size limits are the same either way.

What the quote is computed from#

Weight. One rate per gram, all in, covers filament and normal machine time together, so a 21 g PLA part costs exactly 21 × ₹8 = ₹168 and nothing else is added except delivery.

• Billable weight rounds up to the whole gram, like postage, so the figure agrees with the whole grams Bambu Studio shows you.
• There is no minimum order and no minimum per part.
• Any colour you pick or type costs the same per gram as a stock colour. Custom filament, a named brand or special filament, is not offered in India yet.
• Ordering several copies of one part discounts it: 5% off from 5 pieces, 10% off from 10 pieces.
• Delivery is ₹79, free on orders from ₹999. There is one delivery service across India: no express, no international delivery and no pickup.
• Priority print is 10% of the items, at least ₹200, if you choose it, and is added to the total as its own row. Normal print is included.
• Support removal, if you tick it, is ₹200.

The grams come from a real OrcaSlicer slice wherever one is possible, not from a volume estimate. The estimate reads a part as 30% solid walls plus infill, which undercounts anything thin badly: a stencil that weighed 21 g on the plate estimated at 12.9 g. That is why Request this print waits until the slice lands. An already sliced plate is priced from the filament figure in its own header rather than from that estimate.

The options you choose#

A project in its own colours#

Upload a Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer project that assigns two or more filaments and a Project colours card appears: the colours it uses, each with its slot number and material, and a choice between Print in N colours and One colour instead. Colour is selected by default. We slice each plate in its own colours in the background, and the card shows progress such as Slicing plate 2 of 7 with a clock. While that runs the price reads Slicing in colour and Request this print waits; One colour instead can be requested straight away.

• When the slice is done the price is what it measured, and colours are counted by what actually prints. Five or more adds the ₹500 second AMS fee once for the line, shown as its own row in the price.
• In colour, scale is 100%, quality is standard 0.2 mm, infill comes from our profile, and the material is the plastic the project's filaments name. Those controls are locked until you choose One colour instead.
• If colour is not possible (a plate using two filament types, even PLA and PLA-CF, different base plastics on different plates, a colour change at a set layer height, more than eight colours, or only one filament really printing) the card says why and the project can be requested in one colour.
• See /in/docs/studio/multi-color for what colour adds to the price in India.

Sending the request#

Under the price you see delivery in India: ₹79, free on orders from ₹999, 3 to 7 days after printing. Choose the print speed and whether you want supports removed. Press Request this print and a short form opens: your name, email, an optional phone number, your city, your six digit PIN code, and notes. Send it and the team replies by email with the final price and how to pay. Nothing is charged when the request is sent. There is no checkout or cart on the India site yet, and card payment in rupees is not live yet.
