Everything PartDrop does

From your own file or a simple photo, to a print-ready model shipped to your door - without touching CAD software.

Bring your own 3D file

Upload an STL, OBJ, 3MF, GLB or PLY - up to 50MB - and we print it as-is. The price for your actual model appears the moment it lands, computed from its real size and material use, so there's no quote queue and no email tennis. Uploading and pricing are free; you pay only when you approve the print. No printer, slicer or setup of your own.

Turn a photo into a model

One clear phone photo of your dog, your car, a favourite object or a piece of artwork - our 3D engine sculpts it into a printable model, no CAD or 3D experience needed. You see the model from every angle before anything is printed, and if the photo doesn't make a good model, you'll know before you've paid for a print.

Print-safety checks, automatically

Every model - uploaded or generated - is checked to be watertight, printable and in one piece before it reaches a printer. Separated parts get flagged with an honest explanation instead of a mystery failure, anything too big for the plate is caught before you pay, and if a model can't print well we say so plainly rather than shipping something disappointing.

Choose your size

Four sizes, priced by what they actually use: Small (up to ~6cm) for keyrings and desk pieces, Medium (~11cm) for most figurines, Large (~17cm) for statement pieces and busts, XL (~25cm) near the full 245mm build plate. Within a size, a chunky solid shape prices higher than a slender one because it genuinely uses more material and printer time.

Choose your colour

Eight solid filament colours - Warm White, Matte Black, Sunflower Yellow, Sky Blue, Navy Blue, Forest Green, Crimson Red and Walnut Brown - or split the piece into solid colour bands for a surcharge. The preview renders neutral; you pick the real colours in the editor. For parts with a job to do, PETG, ASA, PC and TPU are available by email quote.

See the price before you pay

The exact NZD price is shown before you commit, based on your model's real size and material. Approve it and that's what you're charged; decline it and nothing is printed. Shipping is calculated at checkout by parcel size and destination, so the whole bill is visible before payment.

Made & shipped in New Zealand

Every piece prints in our Tauranga workshop and is hand-checked before it's boxed - misprints never leave the building. Domestic courier means days rather than the weeks an offshore order takes, no customs, and if something isn't right you're dealing with the person who made it.

Your designs, saved

Everything you make stays in your account - view a past design, check what you paid, and re-order it in a tap. Re-orders regenerate fresh from your photo at today's price, so you can also change the size or colour when you bring one back.

Fully refunded if we can't deliver

If a model fails our checks, or we can't print it beautifully, you don't pay for a print - and a failed generation returns your credits automatically. The risk of trying stays on our side of the counter, which is exactly where it belongs.
