13 FAQ

Good questions.

The things people usually ask before getting started. Can’t find your answer? Ask it in your quote request.

Do you 3D print the parts too?

No. stillfrank.studio is a design-only service. I create the 3D models and print-ready files, and you print them wherever suits you: on your own printer, at a local print shop or through an online printing service. If you’re not sure where to print, ask and I’ll point you in the right direction.

How much does it cost?

Every project is different, so I quote each one individually. Quotes are free and there’s no obligation. The more detail you give me up front, the more accurate the quote will be.

How does it work?
  • You send a quote request with as much detail as you have.
  • I reply by email with a price, a timeline and any questions.
  • Once you’re happy, I model it and share previews along the way.
  • You receive the final print-ready files.
What should I include in my request?

A clear description of what it is, what it’s for and roughly how big it needs to be. Measurements help a lot, especially for replacement parts. If you have sketches or photos, mention them in your request and I’ll let you know how to send them when I reply.

For photos of parts, include a ruler or tape measure in the shot and take a few angles.

What files will I receive?

Print-ready STL or 3MF files as standard. If you need an editable CAD file, I can supply STEP. OBJ is available on request. Let me know what you need when you ask for a quote.

Which materials do you design for?

PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU and resin. Each material has different strengths and tolerances, so I set the model up for the one you plan to print in. Using something else? Just mention it in your request.

How long does it take?

It depends on the size and complexity of the job. A simple part can be quick, while a detailed figurine or multi-part prop takes longer. You’ll get a timeline with your quote, and if you have a deadline, include it in your request.

Can you copy a broken or discontinued part?

Usually, yes. With good photos and measurements of the part (or what’s left of it), I can model a replacement that fits. Where a part failed because of a weak spot, I can often reinforce that area in the new design.

Can I ask for changes?

Yes. I share previews while I work so you can request changes before the files are final. Your quote will set out how many rounds of revisions are included.

Who owns the finished files?

Once the job is paid for, you’re free to print and use the files for your own purposes. If you plan to sell prints or use the design commercially, let me know when you ask for a quote so we can agree on that up front.

Can you model characters from films, games or brands?

I’m happy to make one-off pieces for personal use, like a cosplay prop for your own costume. I don’t produce designs intended for sale that copy someone else’s characters, logos or products.

Where are you based?

Sydney, Australia. stillfrank.studio is online only. Since everything I deliver is digital, I can work with clients across Australia and beyond.

How do I pay?

Payment details are included with your quote once you decide to go ahead.
