The quality wedge

What you approved in Bambu is what we print.

Most fulfilment platforms re-interpret a generic mesh. Makr3D’s default is Faithful 3MF Mode: we honour the project intent embedded in your Bambu or Orca slice, then a human reviews it for print-safety before production.

STL vs 3MF

The difference between a shape and a plan.

An STL is geometry

An STL describes a surface and nothing else. Whoever slices it decides orientation, supports, layer height, colour and profile — so the same file can print very differently from one bureau to the next.

That is fine when you want us to optimise. We slice STL files against validated farm profiles in Recommended Mode.

A 3MF is the plan

A Bambu or Orca 3MF carries the decisions with it: plates, orientation, supports, colour mapping, layer height, nozzle and filament. It is the slice you already dialled in and approved on your own machine.

Makr3D’s default Faithful 3MF Mode attempts to reproduce that plan, so production matches your intent rather than a fresh interpretation.

What we honour

Your project intent, carried through.

Plates & orientation

Your plate layout and part orientation come through as you arranged them — the choices that decide strength, surface finish and support placement.

Supports & layer height

Support intent and layer height carry over, so the trade-off you made between detail, speed and cleanup is the one we print.

Colour intent

Multi-colour mapping is treated as intent and matched to approved, stocked filament — auto-quoted up to four colours, with five-plus routed to review.

Nozzle & filament

Nozzle selection and filament mapping feed the quote and dispatch estimate, including the +1 working day for 0.2mm / 0.6mm or PETG.

Faithful, but never blind

Faithful does not mean unchecked. Every 3MF still passes a human review gate before production to catch failure-prone, unsafe or unsuitable slices. It is a safety check, not a downgrade of your settings — we flag issues and work with you rather than silently re-slicing.

Recommended Mode fallback

No good 3MF, or you would rather we optimise? In Recommended Mode we slice your STL against validated farm profiles tuned for the Bambu fleet — so beginners get a reliable result without learning to slice, while advanced users keep full 3MF control.

Upload your 3MF and see it honoured.
