Hire Me
Send me a photo and a couple of measurements and I'll tell you what it costs — both for one and for a batch. No charge to ask, and no obligation either way.
Email is best for quotes because you can attach photos. Text works for quick questions.
Email — best for quotes
Attach your photos here. I usually reply within a day.
Who you're working with
Preston
Preston Prints is me, personally — design, printing, and finishing. You deal with the person doing the work.
Four steps, and you get a price before anything gets made.
Photos, what it needs to do, and any measurements you can take. If it's a replacement for something broken, send the broken piece in the photos — even in pieces, it tells me a lot.
A single-unit quote and a batch quote. Printing several at once shares setup and machine time, so the per-piece price drops — worth knowing even if you only think you need one.
For anything that has to fit an existing object, I print a test first and we confirm it seats properly before the final material goes on the machine. Catching a bad measurement here is cheap.
Printed in a material picked for the actual job — heat resistance, load, flexibility, or just how it looks — then cleaned up and finished.
Most of the cost of a print isn't the plastic — it's design time, machine setup, and the hours the printer is tied up. Those spread across a batch.
One piece, start to finish. Best when you need exactly one replacement.
Several of the same part. Lower per-piece cost — useful for spares or resale.
If you're not sure how many you want, ask for both and decide after you see the difference.
The more of this you include, the faster and more accurate the quote.
Phone photos are completely fine — I don't need anything fancy, just clear.
Attach them straight to an email, or text them. If you have a lot, a shared album or drive link works too.
Rough numbers are better than none — I'll tell you if I need something more exact.
Don't have measurements at all? Send the photos with something for scale and I'll work from those.
