Premium kit
Quick answer
The paid kit is in preparation and not yet available. Everything needed to plan and cost a bench is already free on this site: the calculators, the reference tables and the six complete builds.

The 3D Print Farm Business & Print Quality Planner
Fill-in worksheets covering a print farm from the first accurate quote to the next printer worth buying: a farm-at-a-glance sheet, a true-cost-per-print and pricing worksheet with filament, electricity, depreciation, failure rate, labor and platform fees, a week-numbered print quality calibration plan with a defect-to-cause table, a filament and materials guide, a printer buying and scaling decision sheet, a maintenance schedule and log, an order and job tracker, a selling checklist and a budget and payback planner. Two filled-in examples, a companion spreadsheet with a live true-cost calculator, a bonus filament temperature quick-reference card, and an online buyer guide with the site's own current picks by bench tier.
Common questions
Is anything on this site paid?
Not at the moment. Every calculator, reference table, safety page and complete build is free and complete, with no gated sections and no account required. A paid planning kit is being prepared, and it will add to that material rather than removing anything from it.
What will the kit include?
A printable planning set built on the same material data as the calculators: settings tables, costing sheets and the complete build lists in a form you can take to a bench without a browser. It is being assembled after the free material is finished, which is the right order.
What should I use in the meantime?
The complete builds are the closest thing to a kit already, since each one lists every item, a budget for the whole build, what to skip and what to upgrade first. The shopping list page combines all six into one printable page with live prices on every line.
How will I know when it is ready?
The build pages carry an email capture for the printable shopping list, and that is the same list the kit will be announced to. There is no separate sign up, and no sequence of marketing emails attached to it.
