Broken, lost or no longer made?
Knobs, clips, covers, brackets, feet and trims. Send us photos and measurements and we'll assess whether the part can be recreated and printed.
Parts we can often recreate
Usually small plastic parts that wore out, snapped or went missing, where the original maker no longer supplies a spare.
Appliance knobs & dials
Cooker, washing machine and audio knobs with D-shaft or splined fittings.
Clips & catches
Battery covers, trim clips, latches and snap fits.
Brackets & mounts
Shelf supports, furniture fittings, light brackets, cable holders.
Covers & caps
End caps, blanking plates, feet and protective covers.
Photos, a ruler, a few facts
- Photos from several angles: front, back, sides and any mounting points.
- A ruler or calipers in shot so we can read the scale.
- Estimated dimensions, in mm if you can.
- Whether you have the part, or the broken pieces, and can post it to us.
- The equipment it's from: make, model and what the part does.
- Operating environment: heat, water, sunlight, load, movement.
- What happens if it fails. This helps us judge whether it's suitable.
Not every part should be printed
Every replacement request starts with a safety and feasibility review. We will decline anything where a printed part could put someone at risk.
Usually suitable
- Cosmetic, convenience and organisational parts
- Low-load clips, knobs, covers and brackets
- Parts away from high heat, food contact or pressure
We won't make
- Safety-critical parts: brakes, steering, child seats, PPE, lifting gear
- Regulated parts: gas, electrical safety, medical, aviation
- Parts near flames or heating elements, or under pressure
- Copies that would infringe someone's design rights or trade marks
Some parts can't be recreated accurately enough from photos, or need a material we don't offer. If so, we'll tell you before you pay anything.
