What We Do
From a napkin sketch to a finished file — Max 3D covers every stage, right here in Columbia.
01 — Design
Browse and order from a growing catalog of original designs created in-house — functional, decorative, and everything in between. Ready to print, ready for local pickup.
02 — Print
Don't have a 3D printer? No problem. Share your idea, describe what you need, and we'll handle the rest — material selection, settings, and local pickup. Your concept, professionally printed.
03 — Bring Your File
Already have an STL or design file? Send it over and we'll print it with care. Multi-color, PETG, PLA — we'll recommend the right material and get it done right the first time.
Our Work
Photos coming soon — check back as the portfolio grows. Every print is a new project.
Pricing
All prices are starting points — final cost depends on print time, material, and complexity. Request a quote for an exact number before committing to anything.
Tier 01
Quick jobs with a customer-provided file. Under 4 hours print time, basic single-color PLA.
Tier 02 — Most Popular
Mid-size jobs including file prep, support removal, and light post-processing. Multi-color available.
Tier 03
Large or complex prints, extended run times, specialty materials, or detailed multicolor work.
Tier 04
You have an idea but no file — Max models it from scratch using OpenSCAD or similar tools, then prints it.

Licensing
Max 3D respects the work of model designers. Before printing any third-party design for a customer, we review its license and obtain permission from the creator where required. You can order with confidence — every print we produce is either an original Max 3D design, licensed for commercial use, or printed with explicit creator permission.
Free / Personal Use Only
Model is free to download and print for yourself, but cannot be sold or printed commercially. We contact the designer directly for permission before fulfilling orders.
Commercial Use Allowed
Designer has explicitly permitted selling prints. These models can be printed and sold without additional permission needed.
Creative Commons NC
Creative Commons license with a Non-Commercial clause. Printing for profit requires reaching out to the designer for a separate commercial agreement.
