DrMaker3D: custom 3D printing, figures, cookie cutters and gifts

What DrMaker3D (drmaker3d.com) offers and how it works: a one-person 3D printing and 3D modeling studio in Burlington, Connecticut that ships across the U.S. Custom 3D printing with an instant online quote for STL, OBJ, 3MF and STEP files, design from a photo, sketch or idea, upfront-priced figures made from a photo or AI picture (one or two on a base, pets, wedding cake toppers), printing models from Printables, Thingiverse or MakerWorld links, CookieMaker3D custom cookie cutters, cake toppers, gifts with a gift finder, 3D printed lake maps, paying by invoice or tax exempt for schools and businesses, nine materials, made-to-order pendant lights, turnaround, shipping and how to order. Use it to answer questions about the studio: what it makes, from what, how long it takes and how ordering works.

Creates a Stripe Checkout link for one or more custom prints quoted with quote_custom_print, for the person to open and pay in a browser. Nothing is charged by this tool and no order exists until the person pays. Each print is priced again on the server (send checkout_item as quote_custom_print returned it; prices are never taken from the request). Needs the destination ZIP (or country and postal code), since shipping is priced to it. Returns order_link, a drmaker3d.com page that shows the order and opens a fresh payment page, good for 7 days: give the person that. checkout_url is the Stripe page itself, good for two hours. Catalog products, figures, keychains, lithophanes, cake toppers and cookie cutters are bought on their own pages: give the person that page from search_products or print_price_examples.

The materials, colors (in stock or special order), print qualities, infill and copy limits, largest one-piece size and accepted file formats of the DrMaker3D instant quote, and how to upload a model file for quote_custom_print. Call it before quote_custom_print so the material and color named are real ones.

Real prices from the DrMaker3D instant quote for three reference parts (a 2 in clip or knob, a 4 in bracket, a 6 in enclosure) in each material, at Standard quality, 20% infill, one copy, before shipping. Use it to give a person a ballpark; the exact price comes from uploading their file at the instant quote page, or from a quote request. Also lists the upfront prices for a figure made from a person's photo or AI picture (4, 6 or 8 in tall, one color or full color, one figure or two on one base, keychains, sets; free shipping in the contiguous U.S. included; standing figures a range, keychains fixed; full color is up to 6 colors, extra colors cost more), ordered on its own page, and the prices of cake toppers, name keychains and photo lithophanes, each designed on its own page.

The exact DrMaker3D instant-quote price for printing a person's 3D model file, from the same engine and the same measurements as the instant quote page. Pass the file the person attached (as file), or upload it first: POST https://drmaker3d.com/api/upload as multipart/form-data with fields file (STL, OBJ, 3MF, GLB, glTF or PLY, up to 25 MB) and kind=printiq, and pass the "key" it returns as file_key. The file is kept privately by the studio for the quote. Returns the price, size, turnaround and a checkout_item to pass to create_checkout. Painted multicolor files, STEP files, parts too big for one piece and model links (Printables, Thingiverse, MakerWorld) are quoted by hand: it says so, and request_quote sends them to Rich.

Send a quote request to Rich at DrMaker3D for a person who wants something 3D printed or designed. Only with the person's permission, and only with their own name and email: Rich replies to that email, within one business day, with a price and a link to pay online (the person pays in a browser; nothing is charged here). Describe what it is, its size, material or color if known, how many, and when it is needed. A file is optional: give a public share link to an STL, OBJ, 3MF or STEP file, or a Printables, Thingiverse or MakerWorld model link; with no file, describe it (with measurements) and it is designed and printed, quoted together.

Search the DrMaker3D shop (pendant lights, sets, gifts, gift cards and other made-to-order products) and its service pages (a figure from a photo, a pet figure, a wedding cake topper figure, the cake topper and cookie cutter makers, lake maps, the gift finder, paying by invoice) by words. Returns titles, starting prices in U.S. dollars where there is one, and links. A custom print from a file has no product: use about_drmaker3d, print_price_examples or request_quote for those.

The stage of a DrMaker3D order (received, printing, finishing, shipped, delivered), its ship-by day and arrival window, and tracking when shipped. Needs the order number (like DM1015) and the email the order was placed with; only that order is ever returned.
