Why Launceston locals skip the single print shop.
Most 3D printing sites are one bureau quoting one price. Printforge is a marketplace — post once and independent Launceston makers compete for your job.
Competing quotes, better price
One job, several local quotes — you see the real market rate instead of a single take-it-or-leave-it price.
Keep it local
Work with a maker down the road: faster turnaround, easier pickup, and money that stays in your community.
No interstate freight wait
Skip shipping a fragile print across the country. Local makers can often turn a job around same-day or next-day.
