Updates
Apr 8, 2025
Sam from 3D Print Force here. I don't know that I've been more excited then I am today getting to let you know about the latest updates made to 3D Print Force.
As always this is also available to read on X or as our latest Blog Post
Model Variations
You can now create variations of models that stay linked to the parent models. Having model variations can serve multiple purposes within 3D Print Force.
Selling different versions of the same model.
Let’s use a 3D printed planter as an example. It would be common for a seller of that product to sell that in multiple sizes. Perhaps it’s a “small”, “medium”, “large” or maybe they give actual planter size dimensions such as “2.75”, or “3.50”.
Creating bundles
Maybe you want to offer a product as a single product but also as a pack of 5, or even pack of 10. Often times offering a product in a pack can be a great way to provide more value to customers as well increase your revenue. By spreading the cost of shipping across multiple products it allows you to reduce the price per item for the custom. It also increases the order value increasing your revenue per order.
Single item print vs. Full build plate
Printing a single item at a time vs printing multiple of that same at once has an effect on the product over all profitability. It has an even great effect on multi color models that do a lot of purging. By printing multiple at a time you save on both purge waste and print time.
For a more detailed explanation on model variation best practices make sure to check out our help doc.
Create Etsy Listings
If our mission at 3D Print Force is helping sellers of 3D printed products become more profitable then a side quest I'm on is having 3DPF be the hub for all of your 3d printed selling.
Today is a huge step in that direction. After creating your models on 3DPF and accurately pricing them you can now push them as listing to your Etsy shop.
*Action Required*
If your initial Etsy connection was completed on or before May 9th, 2025 you will need to disconnect and re-connect your Etsy shop to your 3D Print Force account. Updated permission are required to be able to create Etsy listings.
To help in this process we have created the below help docs to walk through the steps of disconnection and reconnection.
Discord connect
Don't forget—you can now link your Discord account to 3D Print Force and unlock access to the vibrant 3DPF Community Discord!
Once connected, you’ll be seamlessly added to the 3DPF Discord server with a role automatically assigned based on your 3D Print Force subscription level.
We are trying to build out our docs center as quickly as possible. Sometimes the features come fast then the help docs though. The discord is a convenient spot to get quick support for 3D Print Force whenever you need it. :)

P.S I read every reply. What could we do to improve 3DPF for you?
