Pros
—
3D-printed prototypes — priced in seconds, checked by hand, dispatched today.
One part or a short run — there's no minimum quantity. Built for the people designing and testing as they go: students, makers, and founders prototyping a real product.
Drop in your STL or OBJ, pick a material, tell us what the part is for. Your price appears in seconds — no quote form to fill in.
We slice your part, check it for manufacturability, and watch the first layers go down. If your design has a problem, you hear about it before we print — not after.
Inspected, packed, and dispatched — same day when your order qualifies, otherwise on the exact date your quote shows. Tracked courier nationwide. Same-day personal delivery in Cape Town, if you need it fast.
One filament per part — the functional single-colour niche. Choose a material and a colour: the roll updates, and you get the plain-English pros, cons and common uses. That's all you need to pick right.
R2.20/G · SAME-DAY · SINGLE COLOUR PER PART
Quote a part in this materialNo minimum order quantity — print one part, test it, change the model, print the next. Built for the people designing and testing as they build, not factories chasing thousand-unit runs. Every order comes back hand-checked with free DFM notes, so a thin wall or an undersized hole reaches you before it costs a print.
BUILT FOR
Print rev A, test the fit, tweak the model, print rev B — often the same day. Move as fast as your design does.
Brackets, enclosures, mounts and jigs printed in the right material for the job — from PLA to carbon-fibre composites.
A handful of the same part when you need a few, not a thousand. A small batch on one plate, no factory minimum.

If it's ordered before 11:00, the whole order finishes printing before the day's courier leaves, it's a same-day material, and the queue is open — it's printed, QC-photographed, and with the courier the same day. Included in the price, not an upsell. The earlier you order, the bigger the part that qualifies.
The quote above checks all four conditions live and shows you exactly which promise applies to your part before you pay.
No minimum quantity — a single prototype is a real order, and most orders here are exactly that. It's built for iterating: print one, test it in your hand, revise, and reorder the next version.
Need a few of something? If the parts are small they stack on one plate and print together in a single run; larger quantities simply add print time. The quote shows the price and dispatch date for your exact quantity before you commit.
±0.25 mm typical on FDM, with a 0.16 mm fine layer option for parts that need it. If a dimension is critical — a bearing seat, a press fit — say so in the order brief and it gets measured before packing.
No — and that's deliberate. REALIS3D specialises in functional single-colour parts: jigs, fixtures, enclosures, brackets, mounts, prototypes. Parts that need to work by tomorrow. Pick any single colour per part; if we don't stock it, we can order it in.
At quote stage your file is priced entirely in your browser — it never touches our servers. When you order, the file is used to produce your part and nothing else. Your designs stay yours; we never print, share, or resell them. Deletion on request. Details in Privacy & your files.
A print that fails on our machine is reprinted at no cost — you'll never pay for our scrap. If a part arrives off-spec against what you ordered, it gets remade or refunded. QC photos before dispatch exist precisely so this almost never happens.
Your quote shows the next dispatch date — usually the next day — at no extra cost. In a hurry? Queue-jump for +50% of your subtotal (minimum R100) and your part prints next, ahead of the line.
Right now: order via WhatsApp from the quote above, and you'll receive a secure payment link before printing starts. Full online checkout is on its way.
STL and OBJ through the instant quote, up to 100 MB, dimensions in millimetres. Something else — STEP, 3MF? WhatsApp it over and it gets quoted manually.
Design services aren't offered at launch — but every order includes free printability notes, and obvious file issues (flipped normals, minor mesh errors) are repaired without fuss. If your file needs real design work, we'll say so honestly rather than print something that won't work.
No ticket queue. No script. Messages during Cape Town business hours are usually answered within the hour.
Quotes, order questions, odd file formats, "can you print this?" — all of it. Attach your file directly if it's under WhatsApp's limit.
