FAQ
-
Does the plugin offer WooCommerce integration?
-
Only the premium version – http://www.wp3dprinting.com/
-
How is the printing price calculated?
-
Generally the formula is: printing price = printer cost + material cost . Printer and material cost are calculated depending on the settings on the 3D Printing page. The cost can be calculated through filament volume, weight or bounding box.
-
Does the plugin check models for printability?
-
The current version only checks if the model is larger than the selected printer size.
-
How do I set up different price rates for different amounts of material and volume?
-
For example you want to charge 0.5$ for < 200cm3, 0.4$ for >200cm3, 0.3$ for >400cm3. Instead of regular numeric price enter this formula: 0:0.5;200:0.4;400:0.3
The price and amount are delimted by “:” symbol and price-amount pairs are delimited by “;”. This works on printer, material and coating prices.
