All files are digital, and are in .stl format. These .stl files are what 3d printers use as instructions for what to print.

The additional files include Risers (which allow you to increase the elevation of any Tile), and three different types of Connectors (which allow you to fasten Tiles together)

Your downloaded .zip file you can keep and print off the digital files as often as you want pretty much (read Terms and Conditions if you’re planning on selling them)

There will be a record of your transaction that you can access on the website, and if you go to My Account/Orders you’ll be able to download it again if need be.

In your Assembly (environment) you’ll likely have multiple Tiles.

In the Builder Tool we compare Tiles to each other; those that have the same Elements, in the same number, are NOT considered unique. Everything else IS unique.

For example, let’s say you make a Tile using Floor A, and Wall B, and you compare it with another Tile using Floor A and Wall B; those are identical Tiles and are therefore NOT unique. If the second Tile had Floor A and 2x Wall B, then they would be unique Tiles.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve made a super-simple one, or something extremely elaborate; its all the same price. This way you get to concentrate on making the Tile you want, rather than getting distracted by increased prices.

In any case the prices are quite low; we certainly didn’t want cost to be a barrier to using the service.

The price is ultimately up to you though; I mean you could get away with re-using the same Tiles over and over to make your Assembly and wind up paying just a few dollars. Or you may be someone who will tinker and refine to get their optimal Assembly, and that could cost substantially more.
