What is JustPrint and How It Works

JustPrint is a platform that connects people who need 3D models, 3D printing, or finished products with people who can design, print, and fulfill them. It supports several types of activity in one place: - Browsing 3D models - Requesting custom 3D prints - Requesting custom 3D design work - Buying ready-made products - Managing orders, requests, and deliveries Who JustPrint is for JustPrint is designed for: - Customers who want to buy, print, or commission 3D work - Makers who offer 3D printing services - Designers who create 3D models and fulfill design requests How JustPrint works Browse or search Users can explore models, products, makers, and designers across the marketplace. Submit a request or place an order Depending on what you need, you can: - Request a print for an existing model - Upload your own file and request a print - Request a custom design from one or more Designers - Buy a product directly from the shop Receive a quote or order confirmation For service-based work such as printing or design, the request may move through a quote process before payment is completed. For shop products, you place an order directly using the product listing. Pay and track progress After a quote is accepted or an order is placed, you can track progress through statuses in your dashboard. Depending on the workflow, you may see updates for payment, production, shipping, delivery, or completion. Receive your result The final result depends on the type of activity: - A printed item shipped to you - A delivered 3D design file - A purchased product from a Maker - A completed request with status history and updates Main parts of the platform Models 3D models can be browsed and viewed by users looking for printable designs or inspiration. Print requests Customers can request prints for existing models or uploaded files and send them to Makers. Design requests Customers can submit custom design requests with descriptions, images, and sample files for Designers. Products Makers can list ready-made products for direct purchase in the shop. Dashboards Users can track their activity, requests, orders, and progress from their dashboard. Why JustPrint is different JustPrint brings multiple 3D workflows into one platform instead of splitting them across separate tools. That means users can discover designs, request services, place orders, and manage progress in one account.

Understanding User Roles

JustPrint supports different user roles so people can use the platform in the way that fits them best. Your role affects what features you can access and what kind of work you can do on the platform. Main roles on JustPrint Customer A Customer is the default role for most users. As a Customer, you can: - Browse 3D models - Explore Makers and Designers - Request a 3D print - Request a custom design - Buy products from the shop - Track requests and orders - Manage your profile, favorites, and delivery details If you only want to browse, buy, or submit requests, the Customer role is usually all you need. Maker A Maker is a user who offers 3D printing services and may also sell products. As a Maker, you may be able to: - Set up a Maker profile - Add and manage printers - Review incoming print requests - Send quotes for printing work - Update job progress and delivery status - List products for sale in the shop - Manage customer product orders Maker access may require approval before all features become available. Designer A Designer is a user who offers 3D design services and may upload their own 3D models. As a Designer, you may be able to: - Set up a Designer profile - Manage your 3D models - Review incoming design requests - Work on custom design jobs - Upload completed files or previews - Build visibility through your public work and reviews Designer access may require approval before all features become available. Can one person have more than one role? Yes. A user may have access to more than one role depending on account setup and approvals. For example, someone might use JustPrint as: - A Customer who also sells as a Maker - A Customer who also works as a Designer - A user with both Maker and Designer capabilities Switching between roles If your account has access to multiple roles, you will be able to switch between them in the app from the top right corner. This helps you move between different dashboards and workflows without creating separate accounts. Why roles matter Roles help JustPrint show you the tools and pages that are most relevant to you. For example: - Customers focus on browsing, requesting, buying, and tracking - Makers focus on printers, quotes, jobs, and orders - Designers focus on models, requests, and design delivery If you do not see a role you expected If you signed up but do not see Maker or Designer features yet, it may mean: - Your account is still using the Customer role only - Your Maker or Designer request is still pending - Your access has not been approved yet - You need to sign in again after approval

Switching Between Roles

If your JustPrint account has access to more than one role, you may be able to switch between them without creating a separate account. Why role switching is useful Role switching helps you use the same account for different kinds of activity on the platform. For example, you might: - Browse and buy as a Customer - Manage print work as a Maker - Handle custom design work as a Designer Which roles can you switch between Depending on your account access, you may be able to switch between: - Customer - Maker - Designer If you only have one role available, you may not see a role switch option. How role switching works When role switching is available, changing roles updates the experience shown in the app. This may include: - A different dashboard - Different navigation options - Different tools and actions - Different request or order views Your account stays the same, but the workspace changes based on the role you select. When you can switch roles You can switch roles only if your account has access to those roles. For example: - Customer access is typically available by default - Maker access may require approval - Designer access may require approval If your additional role has not been approved yet, you may still see only the Customer experience. If you do not see the role you expect If a role is missing, possible reasons include: - The role has not been requested yet - Your request is still pending - Your access has not been approved - You need to sign in again after approval Tips for using multiple roles - Make sure your profile is complete for each role you plan to use - Double-check which role you are in before taking action - Use the correct dashboard for the type of work you want to manage - Refresh the page if role-specific content does not appear correctly

Payments Basics

Payments on JustPrint depend on the type of item or service you are using. Some actions involve a quote before payment, while others let you place an order directly. When payment is required You may need to make a payment when: - You accept a print quote - You accept a design quote - You place a product order from the shop In general, payment happens after pricing is confirmed for service-based work, or during checkout for direct product purchases. How payments work Print requests For print requests, a Maker may review your request and send a quote. Once a quote is available, you can review it and decide whether to proceed. If you accept the quote, you will be asked to complete payment before the work continues. Design requests For design requests, a Designer may provide pricing before work is completed. Once a quote is available, you can review the amount and continue with payment if you want to move forward. Product orders For products in the shop, payment is typically part of the order flow. You select the product, enter delivery details, and complete payment to place the order. Before you pay Before completing a payment, review: - The request or order details - The quoted amount or product price - Delivery information - Any relevant notes or requirements Make sure everything looks correct before proceeding. After payment After a successful payment, the request or order should continue through its next stage. You can usually track progress from your dashboard. Depending on the workflow, you may then see updates related to: - Accepted work - Production or design progress - Shipping or delivery - Completion If a payment does not go through If payment fails or does not complete: - Check whether the payment was actually submitted - Refresh the page and review the payment status - Avoid paying twice unless the previous attempt clearly failed - Check your dashboard for the latest order or request state - Try again if the platform still shows payment as incomplete If you already paid If payment was successful, the related request or order should reflect that update after processing. If it does not appear right away, refresh the page and check again. Important payment tips - Review quotes carefully before paying - Make sure you are paying for the correct request or order - Keep a record of your order or request ID if you need support - Watch for status changes after payment is completed
