Custom 3D Printed Parts & Components
Need a bracket that doesn't exist? A replacement knob for a discontinued appliance? A one-off enclosure for your electronics project? Upload your CAD file and we'll print it — from a single piece to small batches.
Types of Custom Parts We Print
From one-off repairs to small production runs — if it fits in a 256 × 256 × 256 mm build volume, we can print it.
Brackets & Mounts
Wall mounts, shelf brackets, camera mounts, sensor holders — any rigid structural support.
Housings & Enclosures
Electronics enclosures, Raspberry Pi cases, control boxes, and protective covers.
Adapters & Connectors
Pipe adapters, hose fittings, interface plates, and transition pieces between standards.
Gears & Pulleys
Spur gears, timing pulleys, idler wheels — suited for light-duty and prototype mechanisms.
Spacers & Standoffs
Precision spacers, PCB standoffs, alignment shims, and bushing sleeves.
Clips & Fasteners
Cable clips, panel fasteners, snap fits, retaining clips, and spring-loaded catches.
Covers & Caps
End caps, port covers, dust shields, button caps, and protective plates.
Knobs & Handles
Equipment knobs, tool handles, adjustment wheels, lever grips, and ergonomic handles.
Jigs & Fixtures
Assembly jigs, drill guides, soldering helpers, and alignment fixtures for workshop use.
Custom Replacement Parts
Broken appliance knob? Missing clip? Discontinued part? Upload a model or send measurements.
Industries & Applications
Custom 3D printed parts solve problems across every field — anywhere a specific component doesn't exist off-the-shelf.
Small Business Prototyping
Test product concepts, create functional prototypes, and iterate designs without the cost of injection mold tooling. Ideal for startups and inventors bringing a new product to market.
Home Repair & DIY
Replace broken appliance parts, create custom organizers, print furniture hardware, or fabricate that one-off bracket that doesn't exist at the hardware store.
Automotive & Motorsport
Dashboard mounts, gauge pods, wire routing clips, custom brackets, vent adapters, and interior trim pieces. ABS and PETG handle under-hood temperatures.
Electronics & IoT
Project enclosures for Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and ESP32. Sensor housings, PCB mounts, cable management, and custom bezels for displays and buttons.
Lab & Workshop Equipment
Test tube holders, equipment mounts, tool organizers, calibration fixtures, and bespoke lab accessories that commercial suppliers don't offer.
Agriculture & Outdoors
Irrigation adapters, seed spacers, tool mounts, greenhouse clips, and weather-resistant PETG parts for outdoor installations.
Material Selection Guide
Choosing the right filament is the most important decision for a functional part. Here's what each material does best.
| Material | Strength | Heat Resistance | Flexibility | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLA | Moderate | ~55°C | Rigid, brittle | Prototypes, form checks, visual models |
| PETG | High | ~75°C | Semi-rigid | Functional parts, brackets, enclosures |
| ABS | High | ~100°C | Semi-rigid, impact-resistant | Under-hood automotive, high-temp housings |
| TPU | Moderate | ~60°C | Flexible, rubber-like | Gaskets, vibration mounts, bumpers, grips |
PLA
- Strength
- Moderate
- Heat
- ~55°C
- Flexibility
- Rigid, brittle
Best for: Prototypes, form checks, visual models
Easiest to print. Not suitable for sustained heat or heavy mechanical stress.
PETG
- Strength
- High
- Heat
- ~75°C
- Flexibility
- Semi-rigid
Best for: Functional parts, brackets, enclosures
Best all-round engineering material. Good layer adhesion and chemical resistance.
ABS
- Strength
- High
- Heat
- ~100°C
- Flexibility
- Semi-rigid, impact-resistant
Best for: Under-hood automotive, high-temp housings
Excellent heat resistance. Can be acetone-smoothed for a polished finish.
TPU
- Strength
- Moderate
- Heat
- ~60°C
- Flexibility
- Flexible, rubber-like
Best for: Gaskets, vibration mounts, bumpers, grips
Shore 95A hardness. Stretches and compresses without breaking.
Tolerances & Specifications
FDM 3D printing is excellent for functional parts — but it has characteristics you should design for. Here's what to expect.
Dimensional Accuracy
Typical tolerance is ±0.2 mm on the XY plane and±0.1 mm per layer on the Z axis. Parts that need to interface with other components should include 0.2–0.3 mm clearance in the design. We can achieve tighter tolerances with slower print speeds and post-processing on request.
Layer Lines
FDM parts have visible layer lines. Standard layer height is0.20 mm (good balance of speed and quality). Fine layers at 0.08 mm dramatically reduce visibility but increase print time 2–3×. For truly smooth surfaces, ABS parts can be acetone vapor-smoothed as a post-processing step.
Print Orientation Effects
FDM parts are anisotropic — stronger along the X/Y plane than in the Z direction where layer adhesion is the weak point. For load-bearing parts, we orient the model so the primary stress direction aligns with the layer plane. Let us know which direction your part will be loaded and we'll optimize accordingly.
Post-Processing Options
Beyond the raw print, we offer sanding and finishing for smoother surfaces, acetone smoothing for ABS parts, heat-set insert installation for threaded connections, and spray-paint priming. Post-processing is quoted separately via thecustom request form.
