Question 1

How much does a custom 3D model cost?

Accepted Answer

Simple print-ready STL files start at €25–50. Detailed or mechanical parts run €50–200. Full product design projects range from €150 to €3,500 depending on complexity, and industrial design projects can reach €8,000. You can price your specific project in seconds with the instant estimator on the pricing page — no commitment.

Question 2

How long does it take to get a custom 3D model?

Accepted Answer

Simple STL files take 2–3 days and detailed parts 3–7 days. Product design projects typically take 1–4 weeks depending on complexity. In a hurry? Rush delivery in 24–48 hours is available for an additional fee — just mention your deadline when requesting a quote.

Question 3

Can you design a 3D model from a photo, sketch or idea?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's most of my work. Send a photo of a similar object, a hand sketch, measurements, or simply describe what you need through the contact form. I'll ask clarifying questions and send you a free quote within 24 hours.

Question 4

Should I buy a ready-made STL or commission a custom design?

Accepted Answer

If a marketplace file already matches your exact need, buy it — it's cheaper. Commission a custom design when you need specific dimensions, a replacement part that fits precisely, your own product idea, or something that doesn't exist yet. Custom files come optimized for your printer and include revisions.

Question 5

What file formats do I receive?

Accepted Answer

STL by default — the standard for 3D printing. If you need OBJ, STEP or other formats for CAD or manufacturing, just ask: I provide those too at no extra cost.

Question 6

Which 3D printers do you design for?

Accepted Answer

Both FDM printers (Ender, Prusa, Bambu Lab and similar) and resin printers (Elegoo, Anycubic). Tell me which printer you use and I'll optimize wall thickness, tolerances and orientation for it.

Question 7

Are revisions included in the price?

Accepted Answer

Yes. STL files include 2 revisions, and product design includes unlimited revisions during the design phase. If a part doesn't print correctly, I fix printability issues at no extra cost.

Question 8

Can I sell products made from your designs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For commercial projects I can transfer full rights to you — we agree on licensing and pricing upfront based on your intended use.

Question 9

Where is Quiltek located? Do you work with international clients?

Accepted Answer

Quiltek works 100% remotely with clients worldwide — primarily in Canada, the United States and Europe. The site and support are available in English, Spanish, German, French and Portuguese, and payments work internationally via credit card, PayPal or Wise.

Question 10

How do I get a quote?

Accepted Answer

Two ways: use the instant estimator on the pricing page for a ballpark figure in seconds, or fill out the contact form with your project details for an exact free quote within 24 hours. No commitment either way.
