Support A3DP

Running advanced3dprinting.com costs real money — hosting for the free tools, filament for the test prints that back every guide, and GPU power for the AI helper. Monthly supporters keep the tools free for everyone else. No paywall, no ads-first experience — just people who think free, measured, no-nonsense 3D-printing content is worth a coffee a month.

Where the money goes

  • Tool hosting — the flow-rate calculator, PA calibrator, and the guides live on this site and cost money to serve, fast, for everyone.
  • Filament for test prints — every calibration pattern and tuning recommendation here was verified on a real printer first. PLA isn't free.
  • GPU power for the AI helper — the upcoming Klipper AI helper runs on our own hardware. Your support keeps its answers fast and its marginal cost near zero, which is why supporters get it free.

FAQ

Can I cancel anytime? Yes — it's a standard Shopify checkout subscription, manage or cancel from your account page. Cancelling is instant and painless; we'd rather you stay because it's worth it.

Does the 3-month perk renew? Every 3 consecutive paid months earns one free Config Check credit (that's the current proposal — final terms are set by Rob and shown here once live).

Is this Patreon? It's our own version — your payment and account stay right here on Shopify, we don't hand your details to a middleman platform, and the perk integrates directly with our paid services.

I just want to tip once. A one-off tip option is planned too — email us meanwhile and we'll sort you out.
