Some of the best things we make start with a simple sentence: “I can’t find one of these anywhere.” A discontinued knob. A bracket that doesn’t exist. A bespoke gift that needs to be exactly right. If you’ve got an idea or a problem part, custom 3D printing is often the fastest, most affordable way to solve it — and as a Melbourne studio, we make it easy. Here’s how it works.
What can you have 3D printed?
More than most people expect. Common custom jobs we take on include:
- Replacement parts for appliances, furniture and equipment that are no longer sold
- Custom brackets and holders sized to your exact space or device
- Personalised gifts — cake toppers, name plaques, lettering and ornaments
- Prototypes for inventors and small businesses testing an idea
- One-off oddities — the thing you’ve sketched on a napkin but can’t buy
How the process works
1. Tell us your idea
You don’t need to be a designer. Send us whatever you’ve got — a photo, a rough sketch, a few measurements, a link to the thing you’re replacing, or your own 3D file (like an STL) if you have one. The more detail, the better, but even a clear description is a great start.
2. We work out the details
We’ll confirm what’s possible, recommend the right material (PLA, ABS or PETG depending on how it’ll be used), suggest a colour from our range of 14, and give you a price. No surprises.
3. We print it — locally
Once you’re happy, we 3D print your part to order right here in Hoppers Crossing, in Melbourne’s west. Because we’re a small local studio, you’re dealing directly with the people making your part, not a faceless factory overseas.
4. It arrives at your door
We dispatch the next business day with free shipping Australia-wide, and you’ll get tracking so you can follow it home.
Why choose a local Melbourne maker?
- Real conversations — talk directly to the maker, not a support queue
- Faster turnaround — no waiting weeks for something to ship from overseas
- Australian-made quality you can rely on
- Less waste — printed to order, in the colour and quantity you actually need
