UPDATE: Initially, I left this blank, but how the owner reacted below demonstrates WHY this place deserves a 1 star review. I never said I wanted a cheaper price, and I never asked to be shipped anything for free. I'm an accredited investor can afford to pay ANY PRICE. I only wanted to understand their process and precisely what I was buying. I asked about 1 piece since I wanted to see what the final product would have looked like, and I would have paid several hundred dollars for that one piece if that's what it was going to cost. I can post screenshots of the conversation here so people can judge for themselves what happened. I genuinely do not go around trying to mislead other people. In fact, it is crystal clear to me now that I have to give the google maps community more details about what happened. This company has profoundly low EQ, was bad at communication, and demonstrated shockingly disinterested client service. They will not treat you well, and might then accuse you of behaving badly.

For the record, 3DBrooklyn was a great company, and I recommend them wholeheartedly for 3D Printing design services. I never manufactured anything with 3D Brooklyn because I needed lost wax casting in semiprecious metals, which 3DBrooklyn doesn't do. They actually asked me to reconsider the 1 star review, but I stuck to my principles, and I am sorry that Printaworld decided to throw them under the bus. If you're an artist, hobbyist, or businessperson, there are better companies than Printaworld that deserve your money. Trust me. Printaworld was the first 3D printing company I reached out to for manufacturing the project I was working on, and it was by far the worst experience. I didn't go to Printaworld for a "cheaper" price. On the contrary, I would have paid them a premium. I even tolerated their inability to clearly answer many of my questions. Frankly, their rebuttal is full of holes, unfounded assumptions, and outright lies.

I think when they first got my inquiry, they immediately assumed I didn't have enough money to be worth their time. That isn't true in my case, but a business shouldn't treat you like garbage because you don't have a lot of money. Money or having a business doesn't make you a better person than someone with less. Some businesses forget this. So, whatever money you have should only go to people who will appreciate your patronage, and everyone will be better off for it.

Also, you should be very wary of reviews from people with only 1 review. The entire universe of places and businesses on google maps, and they chose to review Printaworld. Think about that. So many one sided 5 star reviews from reviewers that have only cared to review one thing their entire time here. How convenient for this business.
