01 / What we print
FDM printing
applications.
FDM printing turns your 3D model into a physical plastic part. Start with what you need the print to do.
Print the part.
Custom brackets, mounts, organizers, and workshop aids made from your model and project requirements.

More prints & a look inside the workshop
Photos show individual projects, not a standard finish or tolerance specification. We’ll discuss the requirements of your part before production.
03 / Plan your print
Materials for your print.
Choose a material, or tell us how the part will be used. We’ll confirm the filament, color, and print setup available for your project.
Talk through your requirements| Filament | Discuss it for | Include in your brief |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | Models & initial prototypes | Appearance, scale, and fit |
| PETG | Functional part projects | Loads and mating features |
| ABS / ASA | Application-specific parts | Temperature and exposure |
| TPU | Flexible part projects | Flexibility and geometry |
Material availability varies. Final suitability depends on the filament grade, part geometry, print orientation, and use conditions. Send any critical requirements with your model.

About the shop.
Dampest Fire Labs is an independent FDM print shop in Buffalo, New York. You work directly with Anthony to discuss your file, print requirements, and next steps.
What should I send for a quote?
Email your STL, 3MF, OBJ, or STEP file, the number of parts,
dimensions and units, preferred material and color, and your
target date. Include how the part will be used and any
dimensions that must fit another component. STEP files may need
preparation before printing.
How much will my print cost?
Pricing depends on material, part size, print time, quantity,
and preparation or finishing work. Send your file and
requirements for a project-specific quote.
What if I am not sure which material to choose?
Describe the part’s purpose, loads, operating temperature, and
indoor or outdoor exposure. We can discuss material options and
confirm availability before quoting.
Will my print have visible layers?
FDM prints have layer lines. Orientation, supports, and geometry
also affect surface appearance and fit. Tell us which surfaces
and dimensions matter before we quote.
