Parts you can't buy, printed.
Custom 3D printing for individuals. Send a file, describe a part, or hand over a broken one and we scan it. Built for car parts, repairs, tools and one-off projects.

Three ways to start
Print my file
You already have a model. Upload it, pick a material, and get a price.
- Checked for printability before quoting
- Single parts or small batches
- Colour and finish options
Design it for me
You have an idea, a sketch or measurements. We model the part and show you before printing.
- Brackets, mounts, adapters, enclosures
- Fit-checked to your measurements
- Files are yours to keep
Scan and reproduce
Discontinued or broken part? We scan it, rebuild the model and print a replacement.
- Good for hard-to-find automotive pieces
- Small detailed objects and larger parts
- Reverse-engineered, not just copied
Gifts and keepsakes
We make custom gifts and keepsakes too. New for Christmas: turn a photo of your dog into a custom ornament, from $30.
Materials
Pick the right plastic
| Material | Good for | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | Prototypes, display pieces, jigs | Softens in a hot car or sun |
| PETG | General-purpose functional parts | Slightly flexible, tougher than PLA |
| PETG-CF | Stiff parts that must hold their shape | Matte black finish; a bit less impact-tough than plain PETG |
| ABS | Parts that live somewhere hot, like car interiors and engine bays | Shrinks as it cools, so large flat parts can warp |
| TPU | Seals, bumpers, flexible pads | Soft; limited detail on small features |
Not sure which to pick? Use the material guide.
What's possible
What we can and can't make
If it is legal and fits our printer, we are happy to look at it. Car parts, repairs, tools, organisers, mounts, brackets, light attachments, gifts, prop pieces and other one-offs all welcome.
What we won't print
- Safety-critical parts. Brakes, steering, seat belts, airbags and anything where a failure could hurt someone.
- Constant high heat. Anything that stays above about 90 C.
- Food and drink contact. Layered plastic is hard to clean fully.
Need an idea?
Browse MakerWorld, a free library of ready-made 3D models. Found one you like? Send us the link and we will print it in the material that suits. Some models restrict printing for other people, so we check the licence first.
Just need something small and cheap? Many local libraries print simple PLA parts for pennies per gram. That is your best bet for a basic print. Come to us when you need a tougher material, a bigger or longer print, or a custom design.
Accuracy and detail figures are typical for this kind of printing. Tell us if a fit is critical and we will test it.

Your idea
Tell us your idea
No model? No problem. Describe what you want in plain words, send a photo or a rough sketch, and we will tell you if it can be printed and what it would take.
If you need the part designed, we offer a design service. We model it, send you pictures to approve, and only print once you are happy. Design time is quoted separately from printing.
Describe your ideaHelpful to include
- What it does. What the part is for and what it replaces.
- Measurements. Key sizes, hole spacing, how it fits.
- Photos. The old part, or the spot it goes.
- Conditions. Heat, sun, loads, water or fuel.
- Quantity. One, or a small batch.
About
Small and local
This is a small local operation in North Vancouver, BC. There is no factory and no queue of thousands of orders. A person looks at every job, checks the file, picks a material that suits it and test-fits the part before it goes out.
We come from an automotive repair background, so we know the difference between a part that looks right and one that survives under a hood or in a hot cabin. One-off and hard-to-find parts are the jobs we like best.
We would rather tell you a print will not work than sell you one that fails.

Attach a model if you have one. No file? Describe the part and add measurements or photos.
Quotes are done by hand, so a person checks your part before you see a price.
