They charge very high fees for doing basically nothing, if there's a problem with an order they always side with the customer and you forget to see your money. And when you see it, you do more a month after printing the job. Most of their customers are just looking for free 3D printed parts, making a complain as soon as they get them for not having to pay the service. You end up on loosing time, money and even the shipping costs (which you have to pay upfront obviously) 3D service bureaus are warned

It is quite simple: 3d hubs is doing what no other company has done before. It gives access to 3d printers to the whole world and make manufacturing local, personalised and on demand. I am myself a hub owner (I rent my printer on the platform) and I can tell that it is a great concept. I fully recommend the platform.

I discovered 3D Hubs when looking to customise a model with my own designed pieces. A quick search on Google and I found 3D Hubs which is a great idea – choose a 3D printer near you (from a huge network) if you want to collect in person; specify the quality and material and submit your 3D file. Everything was very straightforward and clear. The pieces I have had printed arrived very quickly with good communication from the particular hub that I selected. I've been really impressed with the quality and the service.

I've used this service twice now and I'm very satisfied, everything works smooth and fast, it's just what I've been looking for in 3d printing. Don't know what to say, you just upload your file, get an instant price estimate and a couple days at most later you have your part, and the hubs are very supportive throughout the process. One more thing that might be a pro for some and some might not care is that it's available basically everywere around the world! Usually when I find some service I like it's only available in the US etc, but I live in Sweden and I had several hubs just a few miles from my home!

3D Hubs is a great concept and has a good system in place. Their service is easy to use and they make sure that their customers are well treated. Of course when it comes to print quality and services, it depends on the hub you select, but so far I have had no issues with any of the hubs. As for the 3D Hubs team, they monitor all orders to ensure everything is on time and successful. I recommend 3D Hubs for anyone who wishes to see things they design on computers come to reality!

3D Hubs is a special kind of online marketplace that helps people, who are learning about 3D printing technology or just need to occasionally print a few models (while not being able to justify purchasing and maintaining their own 3D printer). So far I had a chance to work with FOX DEN'S HUB and it was definitely a great experience. Here is why 3D Hubs is much more than a cool idea: 1. 3D Hubs has a website that effectively manages user accounts, order workflows, payments, status updates and other communications 2. From the moment you place an order a dedicated customer service representative follows through to make sure the process is smooth 3. 3D Hubs have a wide network of independent 3D printing service providers (at least in our area), so that the order can be placed and picked up locally that significantly shortens the turnaround time 4. The price is very competitive. Printing a simple model starts at $12-15. And the best part of it is that one can get an instant free price quote as soon as the model file is uploaded. The price consists of the two components: provider-specific fixed startup cost ($10-30, regardless of the number/size of the prints or models) and volume based variable cost ($1-3 for a small model) 5. The quality is good (I am specifically referring to FOX DEN'S HUB) and the payment is released only upon satisfactory order acceptance Definitely recommended!

3dhubs.com does all the right things. Easy-to-use layout and interface, quickly gives the user the information needed to make a printer supplier decision by comparing the printers available in the users geographic area, available materials, start-up costs, and user reviews. A 3Dhubs.com rep is available for consult throughout the entire order process, and it's made clear that that payment funds are transferred through well-known escrow accounts, only after the consumer is happy with they're final product. Once signed up, I immediately felt safe using the service. 3D printing just got a lot easier with 3dHubs.com.

I've looked at other 3d printing services and they all have the flaw of being impersonal, having high shipping costs, and slow turn around. 3dhubs lets you find someone near you and navigates you through the ordering process and puts them in touch and sets the rates for the print. The prices are low and so far my print turn around has been under 1 day (though your mileage might vary). Also I can pick my print up so I don't have to pay shipping. Many many printer types are available at decent rates. The prices are extremely reasonable and the person I've printed with has been super responsive and helpful. They also have tinkercad integration, two clicks to turn a 3d build into a 3d print. They have support available right in the website, though I haven't actually needed it yet. I have already recommended it to several friends.

1. Easy to use, got in touch with a local 3d printer instantly after sign up. 2. Took under a week to organize files / get printed and picked up. 3. 3D Hubs team watched project if it got "snagged" at all with a uniquely assigned support person who could also comment/interact on the project. 3. Friendly 3D printer I met with to pick up too. Overall, extremely trustworthy on every part of my chain of experiences.

As a first time user of a 3d printing service, I found the site very easy to use, and the sms updates fantastic. It's brilliant website if you want to get into having your designs printed.
