Discontinued clip, snapped bracket, missing knob — send the pieces, or a photo with a ruler in shot. We model it, print it tougher than the original, and post it tracked.
Appliance makers stop stocking the $4 clip years before the appliance dies. If the geometry can be measured, it can come back — modelled from your photos or the broken original, and usually on your doorstep inside a week.
Most snapped parts were made to a price in brittle plastic. Reprinted in PETG or carbon-fibre nylon, the replacement is often the strongest version of that part that has ever existed — pick the material for the job, not the one the factory could injection-mould cheapest.
Clear windows, rubber seals, food-contact parts and precision gear trains are a bad fit for FDM printing. We'll say so at quote time and point you somewhere better, instead of printing you a disappointment.
Dishwasher rail clips, fridge shelf trim, vacuum latches — the parts that only break after the spares run out.
Curtain brackets, shelf supports, awning and antenna mounts — reprinted with more meat where the old one cracked.
Cooker knobs, mower handles, tool caps, end plugs — measured off the survivor on the other side.
Drawer runners, lid hinges, sliding-door guides — wear parts that respond well to slippery nylon.
Hose clips, pool fittings, trampoline caps — ASA keeps its colour and toughness in the sun.
The machine works, the plastic bit doesn't, and nobody sells it any more. That's the job.
The default replacement: tough, weatherproof, slightly forgiving — better plastic than most originals.
About PETG →Sun and heat — garden fittings, exterior clips, anything that lives outdoors or in a hot car.
About ASA →For the part that keeps snapping — carbon-fibre nylon carries loads the original never could.
About PA-CF →A snapped dishwasher clip or curtain bracket usually lands at the $27.50 order minimum — the plastic is a couple of dollars; you're paying for careful measurement, a checked model and a tracked parcel. Bigger pieces — a mower deflector, a tool housing — typically run $30–80 in PETG. All GST inclusive, tax invoice attached.
No CAD file is the normal case, not the exception. Send photos (or post the pieces — calipers beat photos), and we model the part and reply with one firm quote covering the modelling and the print. Nothing is charged until you approve it. Have a matching unbroken part? Even better — we measure that.
Photograph the broken part from straight above on a flat surface with a ruler or tape measure in shot — one extra minute that saves a day of back-and-forth.
Upload an STL — firm price in under a minute, GST included, dispatch date shown before you pay. STEP, 3MF, a drawing or photos of the broken part? A person quotes it within one business day.
