PARTNER PROGRAMME
A 'print this' button for STL stores.
You add a button. We do the rest. UK FDM and grey SLA, GBP quotes, 2–7 day delivery.
Most of your customers print at home. A subset would rather not — they want a resin print their printer can't manage, a bigger scale, a material they don't keep, or just don't fancy doing it. We'd like to be where you send them. You add one button to your product pages; Bicester 3D handles the slicing, quoting, payment, printing and post. You earn a rebate on every order; nothing changes about your shop except the addition of a button.
Three steps. No engineering on your side.
From the moment you add the button to the parcel landing on your customer's doorstep — here's the whole loop.
FDM across six materials. Grey SLA at 0.05mm tolerance.
FDM in PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU and polycarbonate at ±0.2mm tolerance. SLA in grey ABS-like resin at 0.05mm tolerance for fine detail. We've been doing this for British hobbyists every week — we know what lands well in resin and what's better in PLA, and we'll guide your customer to the right choice when they get to the quote page.
Volume range: one-off prototypes through to runs of around 500 units. Bigger jobs are fine — talk to us first.
You add the button. We do everything else.
The split is simple and stays simple — issues come to us, not you.

What partners ask
Who is this for?
STL designers, AI 3D generators, model railway shops, cosplay and props sellers, RC and scale parts designers, terrain creators — anyone whose customers download files and might want a physical print.
What does it cost me?
Nothing. There's no fee, no contract, no minimum volume. You earn a rebate on every order; we never charge you. You can pull the button at any time.
Do my customers know they're buying from Bicester 3D?
Yes. We're transparent — the quote page and the checkout are clearly Bicester 3D. We're not white-label by default. White-labelling is available for marquee partners on request.
What about the original creator's IP?
Your customer is buying a print of your file. We don't host or redistribute the file beyond the single print job. The licence agreement is between you and your customer. We're a print bureau.
What materials do you print in?
FDM in PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU and polycarbonate (±0.2mm tolerance). SLA in grey ABS-like resin (0.05mm tolerance). UK Royal Mail or DPD shipping. EU available on request.
How is the rebate paid?
Monthly in arrears, GBP, against attributed orders (we track via your unique referral code). Tiered 5–20% by attributed monthly net revenue — see the rebate section above.
What if my customer has an issue with the print?
They contact us, not you. We handle reprints and credits. Refunds are a policy call from our side and aren't the default — reprints are.
