How it works

From a measurement to a part in your hand.

Every request is designed from scratch around your object, so the first thing you see is the design, not an invoice.

  1. Describe it

    Say what it's for and how big the things around it are. A photo with a ruler in it helps more than anything.

  2. Check the design

    You get a 3D model to turn and slice in your browser, a measurement sheet and a price.

  3. Confirm or change

    Reply CONFIRM to go ahead, or say what to change. Revisions come back the same way.

  4. Pick it up

    It's printed, checked and handed over, usually 2–5 days after you confirm.

Selected work

Designed here, printed here.

Every piece below was modelled for a real object and checked for printability. The price is what one costs in PLA today, printed as designed. Want it sized to your own object instead? That is a $5 adjustment, not a new design.

What every quote includes

You see the part before you pay for it.

A 3D model you can inspect

Orbit it, cut through it and check every opening before anything is printed. It opens in any browser.

Every measurement, written down

Outer size, thinnest wall, hole sizes and each dimension that was assumed, so you can check it against the real thing.

A price in two lines, and a date

The print price comes from the design itself: filament, printer time and handling. The design fee is flat and shown separately, with the ready date.

Changes until it's right

Reply with what to change and a revised design comes back. Nothing is printed until you confirm.

Pricing

Two numbers: the print, and the design.

The print price is worked out from the part itself, so a small bracket costs a few dollars and a big rack costs what its filament and hours cost. The design fee is flat and depends on how much is new.

Filament
The part's volume printed with 1.2 mm walls and 20% infill, at the material's price.
Printer time
$2.00 an hour on the printer, from setup to the last layer.
Handling
Setup, cleanup and checking against the measurements at $20 an hour: 10 minutes a job plus about 5 minutes a part.
Print price
Those three plus a 15% margin, rounded up to $0.50, never less than $10. Quantity multiplies this line only.
Design fee
Added once per request, whatever the quantity. Zero for an existing design; see the three cases below.

The design fee

Pay for new design work, not for design that already exists.

Every design is built from a library of proven parts, so most requests are a matter of fitting, not inventing.

$0no design fee Existing design, or your own file

A piece from this page printed as it is, a reprint, or an STL you already have. You pay the print price only.

$5flat Fitted to your object

An existing design or the proven library parts, resized and rearranged around your measurements. Most requests land here.

$15flat Designed from scratch

Nothing on file fits, so it is drawn from your description. One flat fee, however many revisions it takes.

Materials

Four materials, loaded side by side.

The printer runs up to four filaments in one job, so a part can mix colours or put a rubbery TPU foot on a rigid body.

PLA

Stiff and crisp. The default for indoor parts, decor and enclosures.

Softens above ~55 °C · $22/kg
PETG

Tougher, a little flexible, happy with warmth and water.

Clips, brackets, kitchen · $26/kg
TPU

Rubbery and grippy: bumpers, feet, gaskets and sleeves.

Shore 95A · $38/kg
ASA

Holds up to sun and heat for parts that live outside.

UV-stable · $30/kg
The parts library

Every design starts from parts that have already printed.

A case is not drawn from a blank screen. The insert pockets, the board's hole pattern, the vents, the lid and the snap fit are all parametric components that have been printed and measured before. Only the shape around your object is new.

6

Fasteners

Pockets for brass heat-set inserts, screw bosses, captive nuts and clearance holes.

11

Hole patterns

Raspberry Pi, ESP32, fan, VESA and DIN-rail footprints, with the connector windows to match.

18

Enclosure parts

Rounded boxes and lids, vent grids, cable grommets, feet, edge clips and slot racks.

12

Mechanisms

Snap fits, latches, living hinges and flexures that come off the printer ready to move.

16

Shapes and textures

Fluting, twists, surface textures and organic outlines for decorative pieces.

What it means for you

Fewer surprises. A component that has held a heat-set insert or snapped shut in a finished part does it the same way in yours. When a print report says a part failed, the component it used is marked, and the next design avoids the same mistake.

Faster, cheaper design. Fitting proven parts around your measurements takes a fraction of the time of drawing them, which is why most requests carry the small design fee rather than the full one, and why a revision usually comes back within a day.

Written down. Every design page above lists the components it used and the materials they have been printed in. The library itself is open: 63 components on GitHub, with every parameter documented.

Questions

Before you ask.

What can you make?

Holders, mounts, brackets, enclosures for electronics, replacement parts, organizers and decorative pieces. If it fits in a 270 mm cube, or can be split into pieces that join, it can usually be printed.

Do I need a 3D file?

No. Most requests are a description, a few measurements and a photo. If you already have an STL, 3MF or STEP file, choose “Print my file” on the portal.

What does it cost?

Two numbers. The print price is worked out from the part: filament, printer time and handling, from $10. The design fee is flat: nothing for a design that already exists or a file you send, a small fee to fit an existing design or the proven library parts to your object, and the full fee only when something is drawn from scratch. The worked examples on this page are priced exactly as a request would be.

Can I have one of the designs on this page?

Yes. Printed as designed it costs the print price shown on its page, with no design fee. Ask for it sized to your own board, pen or gap and it is adjusted for the small design fee; you see the revised model before anything is printed.

Why is design so cheap?

Because most of it already exists. Every design is assembled from a library of parametric components that have been printed and measured before: insert pockets, board hole patterns, vents, lids, snap fits. Fitting those around your measurements is quick, so the fee reflects the new work, not the whole drawing.

How long does it take?

Most parts are ready a few days after you confirm the quote. The quote gives the estimate for your part.

What if it doesn't fit?

Check the 3D model and the measurements before you confirm, and ask for as many changes as you need. If a printed part still isn't right, raise a “Reprint or fix an earlier part” request.

Which material should I choose?

PLA for most indoor parts, PETG for anything warm, wet or that needs to flex a little, TPU for rubbery parts, ASA for outdoors. Pick “Not sure” and one will be recommended.

Do I need an account?

The request portal asks for your e-mail so it can send you the quote and updates. No Jira licence or payment details are needed to ask.

Have something in mind?

Measure it, describe it, and we'll draw it.

Requests take a few minutes. You'll get the design and a price back before anything is printed.
