The Spool List

The platform lets users post design files—such as STL, STEP, DXF, SVG or PDF—and specify a budget or open the job to bidding. Once submitted, the request is broadcast to a global network of verified makers who list the equipment they own, their ratings and prior work. Users can choose a fixed‑price quote or let multiple makers compete, then communicate directly through the app to monitor progress and approve changes.

All payments are held in escrow until the buyer confirms satisfaction with the finished product, after which funds are released to the maker. The system supports both card and cryptocurrency transactions and provides real‑time tracking of each order’s status.

The service covers a wide range of fabrication disciplines, including 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC machining, embroidery, metalwork, woodworking and other custom processes. It is aimed at individuals and businesses needing prototype parts, custom gifts, cosplay props, replacement components or small‑batch production, and it is currently in an experimental stage.
