FAQA few useful answers6 questions
How do you price a project?

Photography quotes depend on the shoot’s duration, location and delivery needs. Printing quotes include material use, print time and any agreed finishing, assembly or delivery. I’ll confirm the scope and price with you before starting.

Can I request original photos or video?

Yes. We can discuss edited photos, original files and video as part of your project. I’ll confirm the selection, file formats and delivery with you before the shoot.

Do you offer 3D design or modelling?

Not currently. I print from files you provide. Send the model file or source link, along with the size and intended use, so I can check whether it is suitable for printing.

How long does a print take?

It depends on the model, quantity and my current schedule. The estimate includes printing and any agreed sanding or assembly. Larger models may need to be split into parts to fit the A1’s 256 × 256 × 256 mm build volume.

Can I pick up my finished print?

Yes, local pickup is available. We can also discuss delivery, which may cost extra. I’ll confirm the timing and arrangements with your quote.

Can I inquire before I have all the details?

Of course. Start with an outline and use either inquiry button above to prepare a draft. You can leave uncertain details for us to discuss. References, intended use and preferred timing are helpful.
