3D printed replacement parts for things that can't be bought any more
The hinge, the clip, the knob, the bracket that broke and that nobody sells. Send the broken part or a model of it, and get a printed replacement in a material that will last.
What you get
The right material for where it lives
Dishwasher parts in PETG, car parts in ASA, anything near heat in ABS. You'll be told which, and why.
Modelling from the broken part
No file? Post the broken part or send a photo with measurements. Simple parts cost £30 to £60 to model.
Usually stronger than the original
Printed replacements can be made thicker where the original failed, and most are.
A spare while you're at it
Two of the same part costs very little more than one.
Who this is for
Homeowners
Appliance clips, blind fittings, bath panel brackets, drawer runners, the part that holds the thing on the wall.
Garages and workshops
Interior trim clips, bezels, brackets and adapters for cars that are out of production.
Landlords and property managers
The same part across several properties, kept on file for next time.

Questions people ask before ordering
Will it be as strong as the original?
Usually stronger, because it can be printed thicker where the original broke. Parts that take a lot of heat or constant flexing are the exception, and you'll be told if yours is one.
Can you copy a part exactly?
Close enough to fit. Printed parts hold about 0.2 mm, which is fine for almost everything that isn't a bearing.
How long does modelling take?
One to two working days for a simple part, then the usual two to three for printing.
Based in Liverpool, printing for the whole UK
If you're in Merseyside you can collect in person. Everyone else gets Royal Mail tracked, usually two working days after dispatch. Most of this work comes from Liverpool, Manchester, Chester and the Wirral, but there's nothing local about the post.
