For one-off parts and small runs, we were less expensive and faster than every Craftcloud offer in our test. For larger runs of the same part, Craftcloud's lowest-priced offers came in lower. Here are the real numbers, so you can decide for yourself.
Two different models
Craftcloud is a 3D printing marketplace run by All3DP in Munich, Germany. You upload a file and get offers from a network of partner print shops around the world, then pick by price, speed and rating. It offers many processes and materials and a remake guarantee.
OnePiecePrints is a single shop in Olalla, Washington. You upload a file and we print it ourselves. There's no middleman between you and the printer.
