How it works
What I print
If it fits the printer and it's legal, send it over. Common requests include:
- Replacement parts, clips and knobs
- Brackets, mounts and holders
- Boxes, enclosures and organizers
- Prototypes and test fits
- Display pieces, props and models
- One-off gifts and small batches
I don't print weapons or weapon parts of any kind, safety-critical parts, or anything illegal. See the terms.
The printer
Everything is printed on a Creality K1C, a fast, enclosed FDM (filament) printer with a hardened nozzle that can handle carbon-fiber filament.
- Largest part
- 220 × 220 × 250 mm
(about 8.6 × 8.6 × 9.8 in) - Colors
- One color per part. A color change between layers is sometimes possible; ask in the notes.
- Bigger parts
- Some can be split into pieces and joined. If not, I'll tell you.
Materials
PLA
Crisp detail and lots of colors. Great for display pieces, prototypes and indoor parts. Softens in high heat, like a hot car.
PETG
Tougher than PLA, with a little flex and better heat and outdoor resistance. A good pick for functional parts.
PA6-CF
Carbon-fiber-filled nylon. Stiff, strong and heat-resistant, for demanding functional parts.
Something else?
Choose "Other" on the form and tell me what you need. I'll say whether I can do it.
