Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really free?
The first 50 subscribers get 1 year free on any paid plan — no credit card needed to start your 30-day trial. After the early access period, pricing is €19/month (Workshop) or €49/month (Factory). Early access subscribers keep their free year regardless.
What file formats do you support?
Limes accepts STL and G-code files. When you upload G-code files, slicer metadata like material, print time, and weight is automatically extracted — saving you manual data entry.
Can multiple people use one workspace?
Not yet — each workspace currently supports one user. Multi-user workspaces and team invitations are on the roadmap and coming soon.
How do I get started?
Sign up, create your workshop profile, configure your cost calculator, and share your dropzone link with clients. The whole setup takes under 5 minutes.
What are beta features?
Beta features are functional but still being refined. You can request early access by emailing marius@limes.solutions with "BETA" in the subject. We'll enable them on your account so you can try them out and give feedback.
