Most services make you upload a file to learn anything. Here is our whole price list instead: Draft PLA fit checks from £5.18; Standard at 4.6p per gram of PLA plus £1.15 per machine hour; and Fine detail at 0.16 mm, with its additional sliced machine time included automatically. There is a £6.90 order minimum, no per-item handling fee, and free UK delivery over £40. The estimator applies the live rate card to your actual file.
Material, weighed from your actual file. PLA is 4.6p; tougher and engineering materials run 5.06p to 20.7p per gram (table below).
Print time, estimated from your actual file. A 2-hour clip uses £2.30 of machine time; a 20-hour helmet pays for the machine it occupies.
Floors: £4.60 per part, £6.90 per order. That covers handling, checking and packing on the smallest jobs. Compare £15 to £40 minimums at the industrial bureaus.
That is the Standard formula. No file-setup fee, no per-item handling fee, no quote fee. Speed tier multiplies the labour: Express (jumps the queue, guaranteed 2-day dispatch even when busy) ×1.7, Standard (2 to 4 working days) ×1, Economy (10 to 14 days) ×0.8. Students take 20% off labour with an academic email.
Draft PLA fit checks start at £5.18. Draft uses 0.28 mm layers, fixed 10% infill and a 15% prototype discount, with a £4.03 per-part floor. It is for economical size, shape and fit checks rather than finished presentation parts.
Fine detail uses 0.16 mm layers. It keeps the Standard material, machine-hour and minimum-price rules, with no fixed quality surcharge. The estimator slices the actual STL, STEP or unsliced 3MF at 0.16 mm and includes the additional estimated machine time automatically. An already-sliced 3MF remains Standard because its embedded layer height cannot be changed.
Eligible print subtotals over £10 save 5% when any suitable stocked colour is acceptable. Minimum-price floors can reduce or remove that saving. Hark Tech is not VAT registered, so VAT is not added to the displayed price.
Standard speed, PLA unless stated. Your file's exact weight and time drive the real quote, these are typical shapes:
| Part | Weight | Print time | Sum | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cable clip or bracket | 8 g | 0.5 h | £0.94 | £6.90 (order minimum) |
| Phone stand | 45 g | 3.5 h | £6.10 | £6.90 (order minimum) |
| Mounting bracket, PETG | 40 g | 3 h | £5.66 | £6.90 (order minimum) |
| Electronics enclosure, PETG | 90 g | 7 h | £13.02 | £13.23 |
| Large cosplay or housing part | 300 g | 20 h | £36.80 | £36.80 plus delivery |
For reference, other UK online services published example quotes in July 2026 of £9.54 for a phone stand, £14.14 for a mounting bracket and £13.03 for an enclosure, before their own delivery. Ours are above, from the same kinds of files.
Per-gram rates. Stocked colours vary by material and are shown live in the estimator. TPU has a £11.50 print-order minimum. ABS, ASA, polycarbonate, nylon and PETG-CF have a £46 print-order minimum; PA-CF has a £69 minimum. These floors apply whether the selected colour is stocked or ordered in and before any eligible no-colour-preference saving. UK Tracked 48 delivery is free at that price. The materials guide compares them honestly.

Draft PLA fit checks start at £5.18. Standard pricing is 4.6p per gram of PLA (other materials 5.06p to 20.7p) plus £1.15 per machine hour, with a £4.60 per-part and £6.90 per-order minimum. Palm-sized Standard parts typically land between £6.90 and £15. The estimator shows the exact price for your file before you pay.
Fine detail uses 0.16 mm layers and the same material, machine-hour and minimum-price rules as Standard. There is no fixed quality surcharge: the estimator slices the actual model at 0.16 mm and includes the additional estimated machine time automatically. It is available for STL, STEP and unsliced 3MF files. An already-sliced 3MF remains Standard because its embedded layer height cannot be changed.
No. No per-item handling fee, no setup fee, no quote fee. Delivery starts at £2.85 and UK Tracked 48 is free over £40. TPU has a £11.50 print-order minimum. ABS, ASA, polycarbonate, nylon and PETG-CF have a £46 print-order minimum; PA-CF has a £69 minimum. These floors apply whether the selected colour is stocked or ordered in and before any eligible no-colour-preference saving. The estimator shows current availability and applies the minimum before you pay.
A 20-hour print occupies a machine for 20 hours however little it weighs. Weight-only pricing overcharges small dense parts and undercharges big hollow ones; charging both keeps every quote honest, and the breakdown shows each number.
The estimator automatically applies 5% off labour from 5 identical parts, rising to 30% at 100, which is the online limit. Runs of 101 or more need a written business quote. The larger-run framework reaches 40% at 300 or more, subject to settings and capacity review. Students take a further 20% off labour with an academic email, and the Economy speed tier takes another 20% off when you can wait 10 to 14 days.
For occasional parts, yes: a decent printer is £200 to £500 before filament, failed prints and your evenings. For one part a month, ordering wins. If you print weekly, buy a printer, and our help library will get you running it well.
Updated September 2026. The estimator applies the live pricing, quality, material availability and delivery choices to the actual production file. Upload an STL, STEP/STP or 3MF file for the firm price before checkout; a saved quote is held for seven days. This page explains the rate card, but the current estimator result is authoritative.
