3D printing for your own model

Send a model you already have, or let me design the part first. I print one piece or a small run and check it against the design.

Send a brief Materials and size

Materials and where each one fits

I help choose the material for your application.

Hand holding a 3D-printed architectural model of a house on a floor plan

PLA

A common choice for visual models, display pieces and fit checks, like this architectural model.

Two-color 3D-printed wall bracket with three countersunk holes and triangular ribs

PETG

For tougher parts that hold up to moisture and wear, like wall brackets, covers and containers.

Car engine compartment with a gold heat-wrap sleeve around an air intake pipe and black hoses

ABS

For parts that need more heat resistance, like enclosures, brackets and parts near warm components.

For flexible, grippy parts, such as handle grips, gaskets and protective covers.

Parts printed in my workshop

A few prints, from the first model to the finished piece.

Four 3D-printed parts: two white brackets with holes and a hex socket, a green ribbed hook and yellow interlocking tiles — **A range of parts**Brackets, a ribbed hook and interlocking tiles, printed in different colors.

Close-up of blue and white 3D-printed plates with three countersunk holes each — **Countersunk holes**Three countersunk holes in each plate, printed in two colors.

Yellow 3D-printed interlocking tiles fitted together at a corner — **Interlocking tiles**Tiles that fit into their neighbors in a repeating pattern.

Size

The nominal build volume is 200 × 200 × 200 mm (20 × 20 × 20 cm). The practical dimensions can vary with the geometry and the orientation of the part.

Large or heavy part? Send the size and what it has to carry, and I will tell you how it can be made.

Estimated timing

Customer-provided, ready-to-print file	3 to 7 days
3D modeling plus printing	7 to 15 days
Several parts or successive adjustments	Set after I review the project

These are estimates. They depend on the complexity of the project and are confirmed in the quote. Production time does not include shipping.

Delivery

Physical parts are shipped, and the shipping method is set during the quote. Local pickup is not offered. Digital files are delivered online.

I work with clients throughout Massachusetts. See the service area.

What to send

Send a file such as STL, 3MF, STEP or OBJ, or a sketch, drawing or photos if there is no model yet. If the part needs to be modeled or adjusted first, I do that before printing.

I quote the job after I see your file and your requirements.
