Carbon-fiber reinforced PETG is stiffer and more dimensionally stable than regular PETG. It is well suited to structural parts that need rigidity.

Welcome
We provide 3D printing services in Kigali, Rwanda. It is a work in progress. Please be patient as we build out the platform.
For more comprehensive help, please refer to our Help Center, or reach out to us through the chat widget.
3D printing is a process of creating three-dimensional objects from a digital model by adding material, usually plastic, layer by layer from bottom to top. Millions of model files are available for download on the internet for a wide range of purposes, from art to engineering to toys.
For inspiration, feel free to browse these various resources:
Some model files include dedicated printer profiles which will optimize the print for your printer. When downloading models, you will get the best results if you use a profile for Bambulab A1 Mini. MakerWorld will usually have these since they are operated by Bambulab.
To begin, after registration, create a new project from the dashboard and upload your 3D model file (STL or 3MF format).
You can then assign filaments to the materials in your model and view a preview of the print.
Besides the obvious importance of the color of the filament, the material type and price are also important factors to consider when selecting a filament. There is a wide variety of filament materials available, but the most common ones we use are PLA, PETG and TPU.
For more information, feel free to check out Bambulab's filament guide.
Multi-color printing is a process of printing a model with different colors. It is a more complex process since the machine needs to switch between filaments on every color change on each layer consuming time and filament on every change. While we support this, please be aware that if the models are not optimized for multi-color printing, the number of filament swaps can be very high - this will be indicated during the preview process.
Also, we can currently only print up to 4 colors at a time, i.e. for a single object. Multiple objects in a same file can have different colors when printed separately, but each one can only have up to 4 colors.
We are currently limited to the size of the print bed of the printer we are using. This is 180x180x180mm. If your model is too large, we will not be able to print it. Multiple objects in a same file can be printed separately, but each one needs to fit in this volume. The preview can display the build volume for reference.
The build volume we can display in the preview is only for reference, it's OK if some objects overflow, as long as each individual object fits in the build volume.
Price is the sum of three parts, then rounded down to the nearest 100 RWF:
Estimates come from an automated preview of your model. After review we may adjust filament, time, or plates slightly; the confirmed price uses the same formula.
