About Judah's 3d prints
Judah's 3d prints is a 3D print service. You bring a file, a drawing or a broken part, and it goes back to you as a physical object, built up one thin layer of plastic at a time.
How the work is approached
A print that looks right can still fail at its job. These habits keep the focus on the part working where it's going.
Start from what the part has to do
A shelf ornament and a bracket that holds weight need different materials and settings. The first question about any job is where the part will live and what it has to put up with.
Say so before printing
Thin walls, unsupported overhangs and details too fine for the chosen size show up when the file is checked. You'll hear about them in the quote, before the job starts.
Quote each job on its own
There's no one-size price list. Size, material, print time and quantity decide what a job costs, and the quote spells that out.
Print what you have the right to print
Files you made, bought or downloaded with a licence that allows printing are welcome. Copies of other people's protected designs aren't.
What 3D printing is good at
Desktop 3D printing builds an object by laying down melted plastic in layers, each a fraction of a millimetre thick. It suits one-off and small-quantity work: a single replacement part, a prototype you'll revise next week, or a figure nobody else is making.
It's less suited to very large objects, perfectly smooth surfaces straight off the printer, or quantities where a moulded part would be cheaper. If a job falls into one of those, the quote will say so.
