One-off parts, prototypes, and small batches · €20 minimum order · Pickup in Paris’s 8th arrondissement
3D Fabbtory offers custom 3D printing in Paris’s 8th arrondissement at €15 per hour. Send us your 3D file, preferably in STL format.
Need a 3D file? We can build a printable model from a photo, sketch, or drawing. Modeling costs €50 per hour. We’ll advise you and provide a quote before production.
A part longer than 30 cm may fit depending on its shape and orientation. For larger parts, we can explore printing separate pieces for assembly.
5 colors · 0.08 mm · 3 hr 45 min
We printed this 10 cm piece at very high resolution. Color changes add to the print time.
| Layer height | Estimated time | Printing at €15 per hour |
|---|---|---|
| 0.08 mm | 2 h 14 | €33.50 |
| 0.12 mm | 1 h 35 | €23.75 |
| 0.16 mm | 1 h 12 | €20 minimum |
| 0.20 mm | 57 min | €20 minimum |
| 0.24 mm | 41 min | €20 minimum |
At the standard rate, the 3 hours and 45 minutes needed for the five-color print cost €56.25. These estimates include material, print setup, and support removal. Any modeling or file repairs are priced separately. Your quote confirms the price for your project.
Our 3D printing workshop is at 6 rue Quentin Bauchart, just off the Champs-Élysées in Paris’s 8th arrondissement. Pickup is by appointment.
Tell us what you need and attach your 3D files or photos. Include the quantity, dimensions, and intended use.
We check the file, dimensions, material, and print settings. You’ll get a quote and a pickup date before we print.
Once you accept the quote and pay through PayPal using the instructions provided, we start printing. We remove the supports and prepare your part for pickup at the workshop by appointment.
We bring over 20 years of experience and have made thousands of different parts. For replacements, prototypes, scale models, and small batches, we tailor the material, print orientation, and settings to your needs using current-generation Bambu Lab printers.
For a replacement part, accessory, or one-off object, we review the dimensions, intended use, and finish. We can print from your 3D file or use an existing part as a reference for modeling, which we quote separately.
A 3D-printed prototype lets you test the shape, dimensions, or fit before committing to a small batch. We’ll agree with you on what to check.
We monitor production for consistent quality across multiple copies, based on your project’s requirements.
Need a print-ready file? Send a photo, sketch, or dimensioned drawing. We’ll assess what it takes to build or repair the 3D model and quote that work before production.

Our workshop handles setup and printing for you. Tell us what you need, and we’ll offer advice and a free quote. Pick up your part by appointment in Paris’s 8th arrondissement.
Choosing between PLA and PETG depends on the finish you want, operating temperature, and loads the part will bear. Tell us how you’ll use it, and we’ll recommend a material and print settings.
PLA works well for indoor objects, scale models, decorative parts, and display prototypes. It’s rigid, reproduces fine details, and comes in a wide range of colors.
Heat is its main limitation. A PLA part can soften and warp in a car parked in the sun, near a heat source, or under sustained heavy loads at high temperatures.
PETG works well for functional parts and many outdoor applications. It generally withstands water, humidity, weather, and high temperatures better than PLA.
PETG often has a glossier finish. Very fine details, overhangs, and some surfaces can be less crisp than with PLA, depending on the shape and print settings. For prolonged sun exposure, durability depends on the filament formulation, color, and loads on the part.
A 3D-printed part’s strength also depends on its shape, layer orientation, wall thickness, and infill. We adjust these for the intended use to balance quality, strength, and price.
Print time varies with the shape, required supports, resolution, print settings, and any color changes. We calculate your price based on that time.
Print rates include materials, setup, and support removal. We quote any modeling or file repairs separately before production.

These examples illustrate the rates. We estimate your print time and price after reviewing your files.Your quote specifies the total and pickup arrangements. Payment follows quote acceptance.
VAT does not apply under Article 293 B of the French General Tax Code.
Tell us what you want to make. We can help you choose the print settings.
Yes. We can review photos, a sketch, a dimensioned drawing, or the original part by appointment. If modeling is needed, we quote it separately at €50 per hour before production.
STL is preferred. We can also review 3MF and OBJ files. Photos and PDFs are useful references alongside a print-ready model. For a model you found online, send the file for the version you want.
Specify the final dimensions in millimeters or centimeters, plus the scale for a scale model. We’ll check these against your file. For a mating part, a screw thread, or a replacement, include critical dimensions and assembly requirements.
You can share a target budget. Depending on how the part will be used, we can explore a different resolution, wall thickness, infill, or size. We’ll confirm what can reduce print time while meeting your requirements and quote the result.
We print with filament, primarily PLA and PETG. This process leaves layer lines whose visibility depends on layer height. We remove supports before pickup. Their contact points may leave marks. We can advise on material, orientation, and layer height for the finish you want.
Turnaround also includes file setup, scheduling, cooling, and support removal. We confirm when the part will be ready after reviewing your project. If you have a firm deadline, select rush service and enter the date so we can confirm availability before production.
Yes. We can quote one test part so you can check its shape, dimensions, or finish before we print the rest. Tell us the total quantity you expect and what you need to test. We agree on each step and its price in advance.
We regularly work with professionals and inventors who need to keep their projects private. Your project is confidential by default. We feature your parts only if you check the box giving 3D Fabbtory permission to do so. This covers photos, videos, and 3D views of your parts on our website, social media, and promotional materials. Your 3D files remain private and are reserved for your project.
