# Print

How Womp prints your model in resin and ships it, and where to find the limits, materials, ordering steps and shipping.

**Use this when:** you want a physical print of a model made in Womp or uploaded to Womp.

**Don't use this for:** modelling. Read Make.

Womp prints models and ships them to you. You order from the editor (the `Print` button in the top bar) or by uploading a 3D file. Womp checks each order before it prints.

*A USB stick case printed in clear resin. Clear resin is transparent only after its faces are polished or coated, so clear parts finished glossy follow the glossy rules (`CLA-01`).*

## Start here

1. [Design rules](https://womp.com/docs/print/design-rules.md): the limits a model must meet, with a rule ID on every number.
2. [Materials and finishes](https://womp.com/docs/print/materials.md): what you can print in, and how matte, glossy and clear differ.
3. [Ordering](https://womp.com/docs/print/ordering.md): the steps from the `Print` button to checkout, and what happens after.
4. [Shipping](https://womp.com/docs/print/shipping.md): delivery estimates, tracking and costs.

## The three facts agents get wrong most

- Clearance is **per side**. A hole diameter is the shaft diameter plus 2 times the clearance (`CLR-01`).
- Glossy and clear parts need bigger gaps than matte: an open sliding fit needs 1 mm per side glossy, 0.5 mm matte (`CLR-04`). A part sliding inside a closed sleeve needs 2 mm glossy (`CLS-02`).
- The minimum order is $30 and a print must fit inside 30 x 30 x 30 cm. Both are live settings; this page reads them from Womp at each build. See [Ordering](https://womp.com/docs/print/ordering.md).

## Use instead

- **Wrong move:** sending a model to print without checking fits and thin parts. **Why:** a part can print and still jam, fuse or snap in shipping (`GEN-02`). **Right move:** check it against [Design rules](https://womp.com/docs/print/design-rules.md) first.
- **Wrong move:** quoting a print price. **Why:** the price is computed per model at order time. **Right move:** open the `Print` panel in Womp, which shows the price for the model and settings.
