We charge a small $15 consulting fee upfront for custom 3D printing service. This covers the time spent discussing your ideas, reviewing design requirements, and creating a plan tailored to your needs. If you move forward with the full project, the fee will be applied toward the final cost. It's a simple way to get started and make sure we're a good fit for your vision.
