How much does 3D printing cost in Nairobi?

These are today’s prices for real models in Tomo’s showroom, printed in PLA at standard settings. Delivery is added separately at checkout.

You can open each of these in the showroom on the homepage and change the colour, quality and quantity to see the price update. Every order includes a quality check, packing and handling, so very small parts don’t scale down to a few shillings; extra copies in the same order cost less than the first.

Your own model may be cheaper or dearer: the price depends on its exact size and shape, which is why Tomo slices the real file rather than estimating from a photo or dimensions.

Material used. Measured in grams after slicing, including any supports the print needs. Material is KSh 4 per gram for PLA, KSh 4.80 for PETG and KSh 5.20 for flexible TPU; print time is priced on top. Not sure which to pick? See PLA vs PETG vs TPU.

Print time. Longer prints use more machine time. Larger, taller or more detailed models take longer.

Settings you choose. Quality, strength (walls and infill) and number of copies change the time and material, and the price updates as you change them. Tomo removes temporary supports before delivery.

Plates. Very large orders may be split across several print plates; each extra plate adds a small handling cost.

Tomo delivers to the exact point you pin on the map, within our Nairobi delivery area. Delivery is priced by distance, and you see the exact delivery price before you pay. It is locked once you order. See delivery prices by area.

Upload an STL or 3MF (up to 160 MB), choose the material and colour, and Tomo shows the exact print price, print time and estimated ready date, usually within a few minutes depending on the model’s size and complexity. There is no waiting for a manual quote on WhatsApp, and you pay by M-Pesa or card only when you’re happy.
