Let's walk through the steps needed to make an order, using one old case as an example. It involved printing a fixture for foreign sportsman participating in a bicycle competition.
STEP 1. The 3D model
Find the desired 3D model. File format should be STL, OBJ, STEP, or 3MF. The 3D model should be printable with FFF/FDM or SLA technology using polymeric materials. I posted the list of the most popular platforms for model downloading on the 3D4U Serbia page on June 7, 2026. Alternatively, you can order our modeling service.
= So first of all, the sportsman found the proper 3D model of the Garmin Fenix 3 HR bike mount.
STEP 2. The environmental impact
Please clarify if the printed detail should have UV and water resistance, as well as resistance to cold and heat (please specify the temperature range). Additionally, please clarify if the detail needs to withstand physical load.
= The customer clarified that the detail should reliably function in temperatures ranging from 0 to +45 degrees Celsius and be resistant to UV radiation and water. It should not be subjected to physical impact.
STEP 3. Appearance and post-processing
Indicate the precise post-processing techniques intended for this detail, including but not limited to sanding, polishing, and painting.
Additionally, specify if you have any particular requirements for the surface smoothness and the detail color.
= The client told us that no post-processing was required and no specific smoothness was needed. Dark green color prefered.
STEP 4. Number of details and the deadline
Indicate the number of details needed and the desired date for their delivery.
= In this case, the client needed one fixture by the next morning.
After all those steps, we can calculate the price. And then you are ready to make a decision about the order.
