Hi all!

We’ve taken your feedback and will update some core pricing features this week. Two changes I would like to highlight, because of the discussion on this thread:

  • The possibility to adjust sliced volume on the order page will return (!)
  • The reference models on your Hub profile will be fixed

Let me know if any questions remain.

Cheers

Hi all (@Silvester @Christianna_Tay @Aja @useemtasty @wei_sheng_3139 @MtmrtsN @LaGi),

We deployed the first update and I think most of the feedback on the page is now fixed. Yes! Please have a look and it would be great if you could let me know if it works for you now.

Cheers!

Can you add an “infiltration” or “sealant” option to the additional fee portion.

That would greatly help us using powder based 3D printers.

I don’t use support material, but I do seal the parts after print and there is a definite cost to this.

The best way to estimate this cost would be a factor times the surface area.

thanks,

Hey! Time to print really differs from technology to technology. I do recognise that time to print and labour would be great components to base your price on. Will take this into account!

so what happened to adding additional costs for more than %20 infill, and if support is needed as with most standard extruder type 3D printers? also I dont see my material costs per c3 anymore, what happened to that?

Jep, that’s a bug :s

Currently you can only put your printers offline. Fix will be deployed late this week or somewhere next. Sorry for that

Does anyone else find judging the cost of the material buy the size of the 3d hubs guy really confusing? is it possible to make it an option of how to show the price. per cm/3 instead of this new system? which with all the options can get really hard to compare.

Cheers,

I’m also very confused by why pricimg is now done according to sliced volume rather than object volume. Its way less transparent this way which is a bit disappointing…

I think it was always Sliced volume?

My issue is how can anyone possible compare the prices of the different materials and layer heights and everything else when we have a bizarre system of Marvins. i have not paid much attention to the update till now as i have been busy.

Way to bring back a dead thread… On a side not though, did you actually buy one of those? Last I talked to the owner he said the price tag was $15k

I’m new to 3D Hubs, but one thing that would be nice as far as price options go is allowing customers to select different geometry and other extra services. For instance maybe they want a High Resolution print with the normal infill, but maybe another customer would want high resolution with full infill. As of now there is no way to offer a single resolution with varying infills.

Hi

Can I add another type of material, rather than selecting from the list of materials provided

Hi,

I am trying to add a printer. I am a new user to this site.

I set the name as Prusa I3 from the dropdown.

I set the material to ABS from the dropdown.

I set the colour as White (There are many more but I tried more and it failed to add so just tried white for this test).

I left everything else as default and set the Online toggle to on.

Clicked Save and got a message saying “Ouch could not add”. Why won’t it add the printer?

Thanks,

Hey @Nomadd_UK , We are currently experiencing a bug when hubs are trying to add new printers, it should be fixed today, i will keep you informed once its working again!

Hi Alex,

I have just emailed Gabriela. The issue is still not resolved. I have managed to edit the printer she added for me and set it to online status though.

If you need me to test it please contact me.

Hi there, I have a problem because i can’t find my 3d printer in the list.
What do i have to do if it is a custom model (build area: 300x300x300 mm) of this printer here: www.3dmarkone.com 1 (which is missing in your list)?
Actually I’ve set up the printer as MarkOne but the one you have in the list it’s referred to the Markforged Markone but I don’t want to be misunderstood by customers.

Thank you.

Hi there,

Thanks for your message. If you’d like to list a new printer, may I suggest you to fill in this form. Once that is finished the printer can be chosen for your Hub.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Dominic

Hi Dominic, i’ve filled the form yesterday 2 times and still not have any update

Hi there,

Thanks for your message. Since it is not an automated form the printers are added manually. So it could cost some time once it’s done. May I kindly ask you to fill the form only once, we will definitely list your printer! :slight_smile:

If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Cheers,

Dominic

So, the last message was 7 months ago here. My current issue is that I have a custom printer (Proto-Plastik A51Z and A52Z). How do I add these printers?

12 days later

I know this is a little bit of a necro-post, but may I suggest adding a link to this form on the page where we add printers to our hub to begin with? Like a “can’t find your printer? click here!” button?

It is more of a power user thing, but it took me a lot of searching to figure out how to do this.

I really wish I had known when I first created my hub, as I did the x and z upgrades to a printrbot simple metal but never got any orders for it. Figured out today this seems to be because the site thinks I have a base model my hub gets filtered out when someone is trying to order something bigger than 6 inches when my gMax is offline. Makes me feel like I’ve missed a lot of jobs simply because my printer is unjustly filtered out.

That’s a good suggestion, I will put it on our backlog right away and bring it up for discussion. Sorry this caused some issues for you. Hope all is good now! Best,

Filemon
