Bio of a Builder: Family, Filament & Fandom
OUR STORY
Powered by plastic, pixels, and a whole lot of curiosity.
What started with one 3D printer and a head full of ideas has grown into a small family-run business that lives and breathes creativity (and the occasional printer jam).
We’re not some giant factory pumping out soulless stuff. Every print you see here is made by real hands—layer by layer—with love, precision, and just the right amount of geekiness. From wiggly articulated creatures to custom parts, framed pet portraits, and beyond, we bring cool ideas into the real world—one filament strand at a time.
This is more than a store—it’s a creative playground.
We’re big believers in fun, function, and originality. Whether you’re hunting for a one-of-a-kind gift, a custom part for your project, or something cool to put on your shelf, you’ve come to the right nerds. And we-re just getting started.

What We Actually Do (Besides Talk to Printers)
We don’t just make things—we bring ideas to life. Whether you need a one-of-a-kind gift, a prototype for your next big invention, or a custom part for your car, bike, or coffee machine (yes, really), we’re your go-to nerds with no judgment and a whole lot of filament.
Here’s a taste of what we do:
- Custom parts for cars, motorbikes, caravans—whatever rolls, rumbles, or breaks
- Print-on-demand for creators, artists, and fellow geeks
- Manufacturing prototypes that go from sketch to real-world testing
- B2B services for companies needing reliable, fast, and local 3D printing
We like weird requests. We love solving problems. And we’re kind of obsessed with turning “Can you print this?” into “HECK YES.”
Our Filament Philosophy
We mostly print in PLA—a plant-based, biodegradable plastic made from stuff like cornstarch (not dinosaurs). It’s strong, detailed, shelf-ready, and way friendlier to the planet than oil-based plastics. Great for display, gifts, and things that don’t need to survive a volcano.
But! If your project calls for more muscle, we’ve got other materials up our sleeve too. Need parts that can handle heat, friction, or a splash of oil? We can print in stronger, technical filaments too—just let us know what you’re building, and we’ll match the material to the mission.
Because in our workshop, it’s not just about what we can print—it’s about what we should print it with.
We choose our filaments like we choose our coffee—smart, sustainable, and strong enough to power our day. After all, when your creations are this cool, the material should be too.
