located at 597 Harlestone Road, Northampton, NN5 6NU, England.
Your access to and use of the Website and the Services are subject to the following terms and conditions
(“Terms and Conditions”).

Red Rook 3D Limited Services
Red Rook 3D Limited Services are provided through the website and over email (rrd3@redrook3d.co.uk).
Through the website you can obtain information about our services, request a quotation, place orders for
products and receive such other services as we may offer from time to time (collectively the “Services”).

Manufacturing Services
Our manufacturing service is used to create physical 3D models from digital 3D designs.
The 3D design (or ‘3D file’ or ‘3D model’) can be uploaded to our website, viewed in 3D, checked for
manufacturability, quoted for manufacture in a range of materials and ordered from us to be
manufactured. Information and technical data sheets for the materials and manufacturing technologies
can be found on the materials and technology pages on our website.
Unless stated differently during the checkout process, all costs will be billed and collected by Red Rook 3D
Limited. If your model is not manufacturable or has features that may lead to unsatisfactory results of the
manufacture process, we will contact you and advise the changes that need to be made. If changes are
not possible, a refund can be given providing that manufacturing has not commenced. We might – but not necessarily will – be able to
fix your model or make modifications that will allow it to be manufactured. Most 3D files require simple
fixing that can be completed in under 10 minutes, this is provided FREE OF CHARGE by Red Rook 3D
Limited. Models that require fixing in excess of 10 minutes may require expert services for file fixing. Red Rook 3D
only offer file fixing services in combination with an order of 3D prints of the model. By purchasing
file fixing services you will reduce, but not completely remove, the risks related to the potential
non/limited-manufacturability of your model and the limits of the 3D printing technology, which might lead
to unsatisfactory results of the 3D-print process.
A model that successfully passes our checks for manufacturability, either before or after having been
automatically repaired, might still be non-manufacturable. We run routine checks on all models and will
advise you, but we shall not be held responsible for any loss, damage or costs incurred if the model has
features that are outside the guidelines stated on our design guide page on the Red Rook 3D website.
CAD Design Services
Our CAD Design Service is used to create high quality 3D files optimized for 3D printing.
Account Terms
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to use this Service. If you are under 18, you may use Red Rook 3D Limited only with involvement of a parent or guardian. You must provide current, accurate
identification, contact, and other information that may be required as part of the registration process
and/or continued use of the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your
Service password and account, and are responsible for all activities that occur there under. We will not be
liable for any loss or damage from your failure to maintain the security of your account and password. We
reserve the right to refuse service to or terminate service of anyone at any time without notice for any
reason.
Manufacturing Service Processes
01 Get an Email Quote
To order a 3D print of a 3D model or recieve a quote, you must have a 3D file. Whilst we accept many
different 3D file formats the file extension .stl is preferable. If you have multiple parts, please export each
part as an individual STL file, multipart STL files will cost more. You start by sending us the file(s) via email,
either as an attachment or through the contact form on our website.
Using the contact form , you can select manufacturing specifications for each part you wish to order.
These include the quantity, material, finish and the turnaround time. There may also be additional
services you can select from. If you have emailed the file to us we may ask for more information about the
parts before selecting the manufacturing specifications for you. After all of your parts have manufacturing
specifications, we ask that you to provide us with information we need for the delivery of the model.
Please be informed that the language to be used during the whole ordering process is English. Quotes
are valid for 30 days from the date of issue.
02 Unacceptable orders, cancellation of orders by us
There may be technical or other reasons why we cannot accept or must cancel your order during the
entire ordering process, even after our acceptance of your order. (Such reasons can be for example but
not limited to the infeasibility of the model, the features of your model, the destination of the delivery you
indicated in your order etc.) In case we cancel your order Red Rook 3D Limited will contact you via email.
Any functioning weapon or parts from weapons will not be printed. Any parts for weapons concealed or
disguised as other parts in an attempt to bypass this rule will remain the responsibility of the person(s)
who upload the files and they will be held liable for any legal actions as a result of the printing. Any parts
deemed to be of an extreme offensive nature will not be printed.
03 Prices
The prices displayed are based on pricing scheme of the Turnaround time you choose and are valid only
for the moment that they are displayed. Red Rook 3D Limited reserves the right to change its prices without
prior notice. Such changes however will have no effect on orders completed before the posting of a new
price. We do our best to prevent errors in the pricing. However, should an error occur, we are not bound
by our offer and may cancel the order.
04 Payment and price
Payment must be made in full prior to printing unless an order is confirmed via email as bulk in which
case 50% payment can be made upfront and 50% upon completion. Payment must be made in full prior
to delivery. Lead times for the printing process start on completion of payment and not from the time of
the upload. The cut-off for Express orders is payment made before 2pm on weekdays. The lead time for
Orders paid after 2pm will start from the next working day. Payment should be made through an invoice
emailed out and should be paid by credit card or bank transfer. If agreed on payment after delivery the
payment will have to be made within 30 days of the Invoice or Delivery date. If a payment is late an 8%
plus the Bank of England base rate fee will be added for business to business transactions.
05 Acceptance
After sending your order, we will send you an order confirmation to the email address with which you
signed-in or supplied with the upload. The order confirmation will be effective as of the date on which the
order confirmation is sent to you. If we cannot accept your order, we will contact you by email. You should
verify the details in the confirmation email. If there are errors you should contact us as soon as possible
by sending an email to our customer service.
06 Amendments to Order including Adding files/Changing files
After the acceptance and payment of the order, there can be no changes to the files or processes,
excluding the addition or removal of Print Finishing. If the file has not already been printed, any changes
are subject to a £10.00 admin charge which must be paid for before the change comes into effect.
07 Lead Times
Lead times are only estimates and NOT IN ANY WAY guaranteed. Infrequent and unpredictable factors
like machine failure, power cuts and acts of God may cause orders to be delayed by a number of days. If
Express orders take significantly longer than expected, a partial refund may be given to equal the cost of
an Economy order, but no full refunds are given. There are no Lead time related refunds for Economy
orders. If you are on a deadline, it is strongly advised that you choose the Express tariff.
08 Shipping
Your order will be delivered to your shipping address. We are not liable for incorrect shipping addresses,
and no refunds are given if incorrect shipping addresses are given. All packages are sent out in a protected
box and by tracked delivery. In the event that packages are returned to us we will resend them out, though
this may incur additional charges. In case of doubt, check the delivery address on any of the update notification
emails you have been sent. We are not liable for any damage or cost caused by delay in shipping or delivery.
Change of shipping address is permitted, however your model will be placed at the back of the queue for
printing and lead times will commence from the date of the address change unless otherwise stated.
09 Cancellation of your order, return of models
Due to the nature of our Services, you cannot cancel your order after it goes into production. Orders that
contain non-refundable items are still cancellable, however note that refund or cancellation will not apply
to items in the order that are non-refundable. We are not responsible for your design should it not work or
not fit the designed purpose unless what we provide is substantially dimensionally different to what has
been supplied to us in STL format.
10 Minimum Guaranteed Thickness
Parts are guaranteed to a minimum wall thickness of 1 mm. We will print things thinner than 1 mm, but it
is at your own risk. If these break in our hands, your hands, during delivery, or lost during the cleaning
process, it will not be covered or re printed for free. Although, we do our best to check over every single
model for printing, sometimes thinner parts can be missed, Red Rook 3D Limited is not held responsible if
the parts are missed and printed anyway which results in a failed or broken part.
11 Polishing and Painting
Polishing and painting are additional processes to the manufacturing time and lead times that are stated.
If you agree to using one of these services then you accept that an additional 3 working days, per service
may be added to the lead time if necessary.
12 Use of 3rd Party Companies
In certain circumstances it may be necessary for Red Rook 3D Limited to use a 3rd party company to
complete orders or certain aspects of a job. e.g. finishing work. Red Rook 3D Limited can not be held
responsible if there are any problems or longer lead times caused by using this 3rd party. Although we
strive to complete jobs within the lead times stated, we cannot always guarantee these.
13 Refund of Production Run Sample
If you are looking to place a production run with us but need a sample first, we are able to offer a refund
of the sample order, up to the value of £40.00 excluding postage, once an order with a value of £500.00
and postage is placed with us for the same part, a refund can be issued. Only 1 sample refund is allowed
per order, maximum refund amount is £40.00
14 Delays to Order
In some very rare circumstances there may be a delay to your order, in these circumstances there may
be a variety of reasons which include, but are not limited to; failure of Quality Control due to discolouration
or damage, machine failure, power cuts and ‘Acts of God’. If one or more of these issues do arise, we will
re-print the affected files, but this may cause a delay to the order while we await the reprints. As these
problems are always unforeseen, Red Rook 3D Limited accepts no responsibility for missed deadlines and is
under no obligation to offer a refund or any form of compensation.
15 Warranty
As Red Rook 3D Limited is independent from the design of the part, Red Rook 3D Limited offers NO warranty
on any parts and does not insure against design in any way.
Though 3D printing is an excellent and cost effective way to manufacture low volume and one off items,
the quality and price are unlikely to match those of mass produced items. Misunderstanding of strength,
surface finish and cost are not grounds for a refund in any case.
Red Rook 3D Limited MAKES NO WARRANTY OTHER THAN THOSE MADE EXPRESSLY IN THIS
