Why bother

What a listing makes possible

Nearby enquiries

Search results are organised around distance, so somebody looking locally can discover you. A listing creates that possibility; it does not promise a volume of work.

Useful details up front

Your machine, build volume, materials and colours appear on the card, helping people check whether you may be a fit before they contact you.

Your number stays hidden

It is never published or handed over. Visitors confirm their email before 3DPO forwards a request, and you decide whether to reply.

The deal, in full

How the directory works today

Pricing, since people ask

Include machine time in your quote

Material weight is only one part of a print. Two parts that use similar amounts of filament can occupy the machine for very different lengths of time.

How you price is entirely up to you; 3DPO does not set, collect or see the payment. Just account for both material and machine time before agreeing a price.

FAQ

Before you list

How much work should I expect?

There is no guarantee. 3DPO is new and coverage is thin in many cities. A listing simply makes it possible for somebody searching nearby to find and contact you.

Will I get spam?

Your number is never published. A visitor must provide a name, describe the job, pass a security check and confirm their email before 3DPO forwards anything to you. Each listing also has an hourly request cap.

What if I don't want a particular job?

Say no. There's no acceptance rate, no rating that drops, nothing to defend. It's a directory — you're a person with a printer, not a supplier under contract.

Do I need a shop or a GST number?

3DPO does not require business details to create a listing and does not handle payments. You are responsible for any tax, business or local requirements that apply to your own activity.

Can I list more than one printer?

For now, keep one listing and put your main machine in the printer field. Mention other machines in the notes shown on your card. If you enter a phone number already attached to a listing, 3DPO sends you that listing's private link instead of creating a duplicate.

Who's behind this?

One person, building it in the open, with his own printer as one of the listings. If something's broken or wrong, replying to any 3DPO email reaches a real inbox.
