Get a 3D printing price quote
get_print_quoteFREE. Slicer-accurate FDM price quote from a real slice (not an estimate): print time, filament grams, and a priced quote (material + machine time + setup, with automatic volume discounts). Paste a link: a GitHub blob, Google Drive or Dropbox share link, a direct .stl/.3mf/.obj/.ply/.step URL, or a .zip (first printable model inside is used). Thingiverse/Printables/MakerWorld pages usually block server downloads: download the file yourself and upload it. Local file? Upload once at https://fabtally.com/upload and paste that URL. Optionally bring your own pricing (all optional): currency, machine_rate_per_hour, margin, setup_fee, minimum_price, material_cost_per_kg, markup_percent — the response echoes a pricing_basis (default vs custom). Free for personal/interactive use (fair-use limits); high volume / agents use credits or x402.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| margin | No | BYO pricing: fractional margin, 0.3 = 30%. | |
| printer | No | Printer id from list_printers (elegoo-centauri-carbon, elegoo-neptune4-max, bambu-a1, bambu-a1-mini, bambu-p1s, bambu-x1c, prusa-mk4, prusa-mini, ender3-v3, creality-k1, creality-k1-max, voron-24-350, anycubic-kobra2). Default elegoo-centauri-carbon. | |
| quality | No | Quality preset: draft 0.28mm | standard 0.20mm | fine 0.12mm layer height. | |
| currency | No | BYO pricing: currency code (USD, EUR, ...). Default USD. Only a label: amounts are NOT converted, so pass your own rates in that currency too. | |
| filename | No | File name incl. extension, e.g. 'bracket.stl'. Required with model_base64. | |
| material | No | Filament/material id (pla, pla-cf, petg, petg-cf, abs, abs-cf, asa, asa-cf, nylon, pc, pet, tpu). Default pla. | |
| quantity | No | Number of parts (1-10000). Volume discounts apply. Default 1. | |
| supports | No | Support generation style. | |
| model_url | No | PREFERRED. Public URL to the 3D model. Paste a link: a GitHub blob, Google Drive or Dropbox share link, a direct .stl/.3mf/.obj/.ply/.step URL, or a .zip (first printable model inside is used). Thingiverse/Printables/MakerWorld pages usually block server downloads: download the file yourself and upload it. Local file? Upload once at https://fabtally.com/upload and paste that URL. The server fetches and (if a zip) unpacks it. | |
| setup_fee | No | BYO pricing: flat setup fee, charged once per job (not per part). | |
| layer_height | No | Explicit layer height mm; overrides `quality`. 0.04 up to the printer's max (0.3-0.4 mm on a 0.4 mm nozzle). | |
| model_base64 | No | Base64 model bytes — small-file fallback only (roughly <50KB). MCP clients (Claude/ChatGPT Desktop) truncate large inline tool arguments, so a real STL can silently arrive corrupted. For anything bigger use model_url (upload at https://fabtally.com/upload first). Provide `filename` too. | |
| minimum_price | No | BYO pricing: per-unit price floor, applied after volume discounts. | |
| infill_percent | No | Sparse infill density percent (0-100). | |
| markup_percent | No | BYO pricing: extra % markup on top of margin. | |
| material_cost_per_kg | No | BYO pricing: override material $/kg. | |
| machine_rate_per_hour | No | BYO pricing: machine time cost/hour. |
