HOW DO I UPLOAD A FILE FOR MY SHOPIFY STORE? Once you have added the Slant app to your shopify, on the left hand side click the Slant 3D app, then again on the left hand side click "files", follow the prompts to upload your STL. file
HOW MUCH WILL YOUR SHOPIFY APP COST ME? Our Shopify app is $9/month
HOW MUCH WILL YOUR ETSY PLUGIN COST ME? Our Etsy plugin is free to use, optional premium features will be available at a later date
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO SHIP MY PRINT ON DEMAND PRODUCT? Shipping cost is automatically calculated at the time of shipping. In general you can estimate shipping to be about $5 for anything under 1LB and about $11 for anything over 1 LB. But this does vary based on object and distance
SHIPSTATION, WHAT IS IT AND HOW DO I USE IT? ShipStation is a shipping platform that easily connects to your store. To use: create a ShipStation account, go to account settings, on the sidebar click "selling channels", click "connect a store or marketplace", choose the store platform you want to connect, follow the on-screen directions to add your store
HOW WILL SUPPORTS BE USED AND HANDLED ON MY PRINT ON DEMAND ITEM? If your STL. file already contains the supports, that is how it will print. If we think your product would do better with supports, we can add those. All supports are removed carefully during our post production processing.
WILL YOU ASSEMBLE MY PRODUCT AFTER PRINTING? We do not assemble print on demand products due to the high volume of prints we make daily, while maintaining our turn around time.
WILL YOU PAINT MY PRINT ON DEMAND PRODUCT? To maintain our ability to ship in under 5 days, we do not paint any 3D printed product here at Slant.
HOW LONG UNTIL MY ORDER IS SHIPPED? At Slant POD our goal is to print and ship your order in under 5 days. Our current print time is 3-5 business days
HOW DO I UPLOAD A FILE FOR MY ETSY STORE? Once your store is connected to our plugin, you will click "files" on the left hand side, then select the STL. file you wish to upload, then click "upload", you will see your uploaded file, under "files" on the left hand side menu.
HOW DO I KNOW THE PRICING OF MY PRODUCT? Once your products are matched to files, you will be able to see the cost of the product
WHAT FILE TYPES CAN I PROTOTYPE WITH ON THE APP OR PLUGIN? Only a STL. file must be used with both the app and plugin
WHAT ARE SOME SITES I CAN USE TO PURCHASE STL. FILES? First thing when looking for STL. files to purchase is to make sure they can be used commercially if you plan to sell them in your shop. Sites have separate commercial listings or filters that help you locate which ones you can use to sell. Here are some sites: CGTrader, MyMiniFactory, Thingiverse, Pateron, Etsy, Cults 3D, TurboSquid (Slant POD does not recommend one site over another)
WHAT IS THE BUILD SIZE FOR PRINT ON DEMAND ORDERS? The build plate size is 220mm X 220mm X 220mm or 8.6in X 8.6in X 8.6in
