From now on you can have a 3D printed copy of anything you can imagine in your hands. MakerLab Dhaka brings you the unique pleasure of holding your designs physically in your hands. Choose what you want to 3D print, ask for a quotation, order your product, receive your order at anyone of the pickup points! How to order?
Choose Your Design :
- You can design your own 3D Models. Those of
you who are new to 3D modelling can try using these easy to use free apps :
https://tinkercad.com/
http://www.123dapp.com/design
http://www.123dapp.com/meshmixer
http://www.sketchup.com/

- Send us your design via email ([email protected]) or inbox in any one of these file formats - .skp / .3ds / .obj / .stl
- You can choose and download 3D Models to be printed from different sites. Here are a few sites to get you started :
www.thingiverse.com
www.youmagine.com
www.3dwarehouse.sketchup.com
thepiratebay.se/browse/605
- Send us the link of the 3D Model you want to 3D Print via email ([email protected]) or inbox. Please do make sure that the Model you have chosen is downloadable.
- You can choose Designs to 3D Print from our album (Copy and send us the image link)
- You can have any 2D image 3D printed as a Lithophane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithophane). The image should be at least 720 pixels in its longer side.
Choose The Size of Your 3D Printed Object :
- For your own designs it is wise to keep the model scaled in the size you want it to be printed. However if you are not sure how to do it, we can also scale your model according to your preference prior print. You just have to specify how wide (X-axis) or how deep (Y-axis) or how tall (Z-axis) you want your model to be.
- For downloaded 3D designs or objects from our album, choose either how tall (Z axis) or how wide (X axis) or how deep (Y axis) you want your object to be printed.
- For Lithophanes of any 2D image choose the shorter or longer side length of your 3D printed object.
Choose Material and Color :
- Currently we stock
White PLA Filament

Soon more colors and types of filament will join the inventory. Check the chart below for price of different types of materials :
Price (Standard PLA Filament Types) :
=> Superfine (0.1mm layer resolution) = BDT 30/- per gram
=> Fine (0.15mm layer resolution) = BDT 27.5/- per gram
=> Average (0.2mm layer resolution) = BDT 25/- per gram
=> Low (0.25mm layer resolution) = BDT 22.5/- per gram
=> Fast (0.3mm layer resolution) = BDT 20/- per gram
Price (Woodfill Filament Types) :
=> Superfine (0.1mm layer resolution) = BDT 40/- per gram
=> Fine (0.15mm layer resolution) = BDT 37.5/- per gram
=> Average (0.2mm layer resolution) = BDT 35/- per gram
=> Low (0.25mm layer resolution) = BDT 32.5/- per gram
=> Fast (0.3mm layer resolution) = BDT 30/- per gram
Choose Print Quality :
- You can choose from five different print qualities. Look in for details about print quality and their price. Note : All models may not be printed at lower resolutions. Complexity, Printability or finesse of a model may require a higher resolution print. Consult us for choosing your print resolution if you are not sure.
Ask for a Quotation :
- Once you have decided on the above factors (Design > Size > Material & Color > Quality) ask for a quotation via email or inbox. We will then input all these parameters in Cura (http://software.ultimaker.com/) and calculate the approximate weight and cost of printing your Model and get back to you within 24 hours. Note : The final price will be calculated after weighing the complete print and may slightly vary from the initial estimated cost.
Confirm Your Order :
- If you are not OK with the estimated cost, revisit through
- If you are OK with the estimated cost and want your object to be 3D printed, confirm your order via email or inbox.
Receive Your Product :
- Once you have confirmed your order we will print your object in the least possible time and notify you over a Facebook message or Call or Text
- Show up at the pre-discussed pickup point to collect your order.
- Pay upfront and receive your product.
- If you want, delivery outside dhaka can be arranged over courier upon full advance payment via bKash or DBBL accounts payment. NOTE
- 3D printing is a complicated process and a fairly new technology. We can not guarantee that we will be able to print anything you ask for, but we will definitely try.
- It takes A LOT OF TIME to print objects, so you might have to wait in line for a while to get your hands on your product.
- Accuracy of the printed parts are not always same, so margin of error from 0% to 5% in any print is expected.
- Do not ask us to design 3D models for you, Do not ask us to paint your 3D printed model for you, We do not have enough time to deal with those requests.
- We are not asking on any advance payment, so please do not back out on any orders after print. To get the latest update and videos you can also follow us on :
