Affiliate Disclosure
Affiliate & Commercial Disclosure
Last Updated: October 12, 2026
Transparency and editorial integrity are foundational to PrintPartPicker.com. This Affiliate Disclosure outlines how our platform sustains its operations, research, and server hosting while maintaining 100% free access for all makers, engineers, and hobbyists.
How PrintPartPicker Is Funded
PrintPartPicker is an independently owned and operated discovery and planning resource. To keep our comparison matrices, Build Planner, and 10 engineering calculators completely free with no subscriptions, mandatory account walls, or paywalls, we participate in legitimate affiliate marketing programs and non-intrusive Google AdSense advertising.
What Are Affiliate Links?
When you click on certain outbound links to merchants, manufacturers, or retailers (such as Amazon Associates, AliExpress, or direct 3D printer manufacturer storefronts) and subsequently make a purchase, PrintPartPicker may receive a small referral commission from the merchant. This occurs at absolutely no additional cost to you. The price you pay is identical whether you use our link or navigate directly to the merchant.
Our Editorial Commitments
- No Pay-to-Play Rankings: Retailers and manufacturers cannot pay for favorable compatibility verdicts, elevated recommendation scores, or top placement in comparison tables.
- Objective Compatibility Engine: Compatibility is evaluated exclusively through deterministic engineering formulas (voltage, threading, thermal thresholds, and physical clearances). Affiliate commission potential has zero influence on compatibility algorithms.
- Truthful Price Provenance: We never fabricate artificial sale prices, false countdown timers, or synthetic merchant discounts to pressure buying decisions. If no verified offer exists, we display Price unavailable.
- Clear Link Tagging: All commercial and affiliate outbound links implement strict
rel="nofollow sponsored"attributes in compliance with Google Webmaster Guidelines and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requirements.
Amazon Associates Disclosure
PrintPartPicker participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated international marketplaces.
