Process
FDM printing on workshop machines set up for repeatable functional parts rather than showpiece prints.
Custom 3D printing for prototypes and one-off parts
Small Albury–Wodonga workshop taking on quick iteration, practical one-off fixes, and parts that don't exist in any catalogue. Send a model, sketch, or description — you'll get a straight answer on fit.
Machines and materials
What gets printed here.
Most jobs run on FDM printers tuned for reliable functional parts. If a job needs a different process or material, that gets raised before any work starts.
Build volume
Up to approximately 250 × 250 × 250 mm in one piece. Larger parts can be split and assembled.
Materials
PLA, PETG, and ABS stocked in a large range of colours. If you need a specific colour or material, ask — the selection is broad and replenished regularly.
How a job runs
From first message to finished part.
The process is deliberately simple so you know where the job stands and what happens next.
Send the brief
Attach a model, a sketch, or a photo, or just describe the problem and what the part needs to do.
Quote and timing
You get a price and a realistic turnaround before any work starts.
Print and check
For jobs where fit matters, test prints come first. Then the final part gets produced properly.
Collection or post
Arrange local pickup in Albury–Wodonga or post the finished part Australia-wide.
Common questions
What people usually ask first.
What files can I send?
STL, 3MF, OBJ, or STEP files work best for printing. You can also send a PDF drawing, a photo of the broken part, rough measurements, or a plain-English description of what the part needs to do. If you don't have a file, that's fine — just describe the job.
How long does a job take?
Small, straightforward jobs are usually done within a few days of confirming the quote. Larger or more complex parts take longer — you'll get a realistic timeframe with the quote, not a number made up to sound fast.
How much does it cost?
Every job is quoted individually based on print time, material, and any modelling or finishing work needed. Small jobs are priced small. Send a brief and you'll get a number — no obligation to proceed.
What materials do you stock?
PLA, PETG, and ABS in a wide range of colours. If you need a specific colour, material, or finish, ask — the selection is broad and replenished regularly. If a job needs an engineering-grade or specialist material, that gets discussed before any work starts.
Can I order more than one of something?
Yes. Short-run batches of the same part are fine. For larger quantities, it's worth discussing upfront — sometimes splitting across multiple prints is the right approach, sometimes it isn't.
Can I pick up locally?
Yes — local collection in Albury–Wodonga is available. Finished parts can also be posted Australia-wide.
Pricing
Quoted per job, before the printer starts.
Pricing is based on print time, material, and any modelling or finishing work the job needs. Small jobs are quoted small, and bigger jobs get a proper breakdown instead of a made-up flat rate.
