3D printing guides
The guides from Yannic Fréson 3D, a 3D printing service for the Heist-op-den-Berg area in Belgium, explain what you need to know before you have something printed: what it costs per gram, per hour and per part, whether to choose PLA, PETG or ABS/ASA, and how to have a broken part recreated. Each guide opens with a short answer.

Who these guides are for
The guides from Yannic Fréson 3D are written for people who want something printed and do not own a 3D printer, and for makers who draw their own parts. They cover FDM printing in PLA, PETG, ABS and ASA, the technique and the materials the service works with. Where there is a figure, the source is next to it.
You do not have to read them to order something. They do save a round of questions and answers, and sometimes a failed first version. If you would rather have an answer made to measure straight away, send your question or file through the quote page. The rates of Yannic Fréson 3D are on the pricing page.
