3D Printing Services Now Available in Vancouver

Most people get a 3D printer because they want to print things, not because they want the maintenance headache. 3D printers sound cool – and they are – but the hidden cost of maintaining them and supplying them is expensive.

At Marginally Clever we’ve got a lot of experience with these machines. Enough that we’ve been quietly trialling 3D printing as a service for a few months. It’s paid for the equipment so we’ve decided we’re ready expand that offer to the general public on our new sister site mc3dprinting.com as of today. We’re starting with white ABS. You send us an STL file, we send back your printed model.

We’re also looking to connect with other 3D printer owners to create a portal to a resilient network. Think “distributed Ponoko” or “hurricane-proof Shapeways”. If you have a machine and are interested in collaborating, please contact us.

If you’ve done the math and decided that getting a printer is cheaper than leasing printing services, that’s great! Whether is a complete machine or parts and education to build your own 3d printer, we have what you need.

Got kids interested in printing? Worried about the high voltage and hot temperatures? Start them with a Makelangelo and when they’re a little older they can reuse the electronics to build their first 3D printer.

Whatever your decision, we’re here to support you. Together we can make the future more awesome.
