We 3D print large objects up to 350 x 320 x 325 millimetres in one piece. That is enough for, say, a 30 centimetre vase, a lampshade or a sizeable enclosure. If your object is larger, as a helmet or armour often is, we print it in sections and join them together. Large 3D printed objects are priced per gram, like every other print, and with a file or link you get a quote within 48 hours.

What fits in one piece? Up to 350 x 320 x 325 mm

Width: 350 mm
Depth: 320 mm
Height: 325 mm

That is the volume we print in one go, without seams or glue joints. If your object is larger in any of the three directions, we print it in sections. So for us, large format means up to these dimensions per part, and never more than that in one piece. If you are looking for someone to print an object of a metre or more in one piece, we are not the right choice.

Larger than the print bed? Then we print in sections

Objects that do not fit in one go are divided into logical sections in the slicer. We print those separately and join them, where possible in places you will not see afterwards. When splitting we pay attention to the strength of the joint and to the print direction of each part, because that determines how sturdy and how clean the end result is. The quote tells you in advance how many sections your object consists of.

Examples of large 3D prints

Think of large 3D prints such as these:

Helmets, armour and cosplay props. These are often too big for one print; we then print them in sections.
Vases and lampshades. A 30 centimetre vase fits on the print bed in one piece, a larger vase we often print in sections.
Enclosures. A sizeable enclosure, for example for electronics; see also 3D printed enclosures.
Presentation models and scale-model parts. See also 3D printing for businesses.
Furniture parts. These, too, we often print in sections.
Large figures. A figure that needs to be bigger than usual, for the table rather than a shelf: you give us the size and we scale the model along with it.

What does a large object cost?

Large prints are priced by weight like everything else: € 0.19 per gram of PETG, including 21 percent VAT. A large object therefore does not have to be expensive, because most of the volume is hollow inside, with 20 percent infill as standard. Drag your STL file into the price calculator and see an estimate right away, based on the real volume.

If your object is printed in sections, you get a custom quote. How the cost of 3D printing works in general is explained on the cost of 3D printing.

Why PETG for large prints

We print in PETG only. That material is strong, slightly flexible and warps less on large surfaces than many other printing materials. That matters most on big objects: straight, flat faces and sections that fit together well. See which colours are available under materials and colours. The difference with PLA is explained under PETG vs PLA. If you are looking for a large object in a different material, such as resin, nylon or metal, we are not the right choice.

What to check on a large model

The scale. Models are read in millimetres. If your model was exported in centimetres or inches, the size will be off.
Solid or hollow. A solid model is much heavier than it needs to be, and on a large object you see that straight away in the price.
Overhangs. Parts that stick out far need support. That costs extra material and leaves marks on the surface.
Thin walls. Walls thinner than roughly 0.8 mm do not come out cleanly, not even on a large object.

How to request a large object

1. Upload your model as STL, OBJ, 3MF or ZIP up to 50 MB, or paste a link to the model on a 3D model site.
2. Add the finished size you want, and which dimensions really have to be right.
3. We run your model through the slicer free of charge and see whether it fits in one piece or needs to be split.
4. Within 48 hours you have a quote; if we print in sections, it states how many sections your object consists of.
5. If you agree, you pay online and we put your object on the printer.

Turnaround and delivery

A large object spends longer on the printer than a small trinket. Count on 2 to 4 working days after payment; for very large or multi-part objects the expected turnaround is always stated in your quote. Pick-up in The Hague is free. Shipping within the Netherlands goes via PostNL: up to about 750 grams it costs € 4.50, above that it goes as a large parcel for € 6.95. You follow your order live on your personal tracking page.

Frequently asked questions

How large can MorphiCustom 3D print?

350 x 320 x 325 millimetres in one piece, width x depth x height. If your object fits within that, we print it without seams.

My object is larger than 35 centimetres. Is that possible?

Yes. We then print it in sections and join them together. Mention the finished size you want with your request and the quote will explain how we split it up.

Does a large object not get very heavy?

Usually not. Prints are hollow inside with an infill pattern, 20 percent by default. That keeps the weight, and therefore the price, down. If you need extra strength instead, we raise the infill percentage in consultation.

Can you check my large model first?

Yes, we do that free of charge with every request. We run your model through Bambu Studio, the slicer of our printers, and immediately see whether it fits, how it sits on the bed and whether splitting is needed.

Can you print a helmet in one piece?

Sometimes. A helmet, armour or prop is often too big for one print. If the helmet fits within 350 x 320 x 325 mm, we print it in one piece; if it is larger, we print it in sections and join them. You do the sanding and painting yourself afterwards.

Can you print a model larger?

Yes. Give the final size you want in your request and we scale the model up. If it then becomes larger than 350 x 320 x 325 mm, we print it in sections. Because the price follows the weight, the quote shows what the larger size costs.
