Questions
How accurate is the STL estimate?
It measures the model’s volume and applies your infill and material density, which gives a good first estimate. Your slicer’s figure is more exact because it knows supports and settings, so use it for the final price.
Is my STL file uploaded?
No. The file is read in your browser and never leaves your device.
