Questions

3D printing in Hartford City, answered

Where is KB Prints located?

KB Prints is in Hartford City, Indiana (Blackford County). Finished prints are picked up locally in Hartford City. Ask about shipping if you're farther away.

Do I need my own 3D file?

No. Send an STL, 3MF or STEP file, a link to a model on Printables or Thingiverse, or just photos, a sketch and measurements, and we'll help work out a printable model.

How much does a 3D print cost?

Price depends on size, material, print time and finishing. Small keychains and ornaments start low; full-size helmets and multi-part props cost more. Quotes are free, and you'll get a price before anything prints.

What materials do you print in?

PLA and Silk PLA for display pieces and gifts, PETG for stronger functional parts, ABS/ASA for heat and sun exposure, and TPU for flexible parts like grips and gaskets.

Can you print in my team's colors?

Yes. Helmets, plaques and signs can be printed in school or team colors; tell us the colors and we'll match them as closely as the filament on hand allows. For logos and other trademarked artwork, you'll need permission from the rights holder; we're happy to design an original emblem instead.

How long does a print take?

Small items are often ready in a few days. Full-size helmets and multi-piece builds can take a week or more depending on the queue. Your quote includes a turnaround estimate.
