Custom 3D printing in Canterbury

What I print

A small plastic part can be hard to buy on its own. A clip snaps, a knob goes missing, or you want one copy of something nobody sells. A 3D print is often the quickest way to get it.

• Replacement parts, such as clips, brackets, knobs, spacers and covers
• Prototypes for an idea you want to hold and test
• Gifts and personalised items
• Models, figures and display pieces
• Cosplay props and costume parts

Materials

• PLA. Low cost and comes in many colours. Good for models, gifts and parts that do not take much force or heat.
• PETG. Stronger and handles more heat than PLA. Good for parts that get used, such as brackets and clips.
• TPU. Flexible, like rubber. Good for grips, bumpers and covers.

Not sure which one you need? Tell me what the part is for and I suggest one.

Size

I print on a Bambu Lab A1 mini. One piece can be up to 18 × 18 × 18 cm. A larger item can sometimes be printed in parts and joined, and I tell you before I start if that will work.

Files

Send an STL or 3MF file. Free files for many everyday parts are on sites such as Printables, Thingiverse and MakerWorld. If you do not have a file, I can do simple designs, such as a basic bracket, spacer or replacement knob. For a complex design, a specialist designer is the better choice, and I tell you if your job needs one.

Pickup or delivery

Collect your print, or I deliver it in Canterbury by arrangement. To get started, send a message or start a chat with the file or a photo of the part, the material and colour if you know them, and how many you need.
