Getting Started as a Maker

Last updated on Mar 17, 2026

JustPrint lets Makers offer 3D printing services to customers and, in many cases, sell products through the marketplace. If you want to receive print requests, manage jobs, and build a presence as a printing provider, becoming a Maker is the first step.

What a Maker does on JustPrint

As a Maker, you may be able to:

  • Set up a Maker profile

  • Add and manage 3D printers

  • Review print requests

  • Send quotes to customers

  • Manage active print jobs

  • Update order and delivery progress

  • List products for sale

  • Manage product orders

Before you begin

To get started as a Maker, it helps to have:

  • A JustPrint account

  • Access to the Maker role

  • Basic profile information completed

  • Details about your printers and capabilities

  • A clear idea of the services or products you want to offer

How to get started

1. Create or sign in to your account

Start with a regular JustPrint account. Most users begin as Customers and then request Maker access if they want to offer services.

2. Request Maker access

If Maker features are not already available on your account, request access through the platform. Approval may be required before you can use Maker tools.

3. Complete your profile

A strong Maker profile helps customers understand who you are and what you offer. Make sure your main details are accurate and up to date.

4. Add your printers

Your printers are a core part of your Maker setup. Add the specifications customers may rely on when choosing a provider or when the platform matches requests to your available equipment.

5. Review your dashboard

Once Maker access is available, your Maker dashboard becomes the main place to manage:

  • Print requests

  • Active jobs

  • Printers

  • Products

  • Product orders

6. Start responding to requests

As requests become available, you can review job details and decide whether to quote, accept, and fulfill the work.

What to focus on first

If you are new to the platform, start with these priorities:

  • Finish your Maker profile

  • Add at least one printer

  • Check your dashboard regularly

  • Learn the request and job status flow

  • Make sure you understand how quoting works

Tips for new Makers

  • Keep your printer information accurate

  • Review requests carefully before quoting

  • Update job statuses on time

  • Make sure delivery and fulfillment details are clear

  • Keep an eye on notifications and dashboard activity
