Replacement and Discontinued Parts in Cleveland
The part broke and nobody makes it anymore. We measure what is left, model it in CAD, test the fit and 3D print a replacement.
Parts We Recreate
Small plastic parts are what usually break first, and they are often what a manufacturer stops stocking first. For machines, appliances, vehicles, furniture and shop equipment.
Knobs, handles and dials
Control knobs, pulls and levers, matched to the original shaft or mount.
Clips, latches and covers
Trim clips, battery doors, hinge pieces, caps and covers.
Brackets, mounts and spacers
Mounting brackets, standoffs, shims and adapter plates.
Housings and enclosures
Replacement cases and enclosures for electronics and controls.
Gaskets, bumpers and grips
Flexible parts printed in TPU that bend without snapping.
Jigs and fixtures
Shop jigs, holders and guides made to fit your own tools.
How We Rebuild a Part
Every replacement is measured, modeled and test-fit before the final print. You keep the files.
Measure
Send photos first. We measure the original, its pieces or the part it fits into with calipers.
Model
We rebuild it in CAD and make a dimensioned drawing, fixing the weak spot that broke if we can.
Fit-test
We print a test piece and check it against the original or the mating part, then adjust.
Print
The final part is printed in the material that suits where it lives. You get the STL and STEP files.
The Right Material for Where It Lives
Tell us where the part goes and what it has to survive. The material usually picks itself.
- PLARigid and easy to print. Good for indoor parts that never see heat; it softens in a hot car or a sunny window.
- PETGTougher, slightly flexible, with better heat and moisture resistance. Our usual choice for working brackets and covers.
- TPURubbery and flexible, for gaskets, bumpers, feet and grips.

Replacement Part Pricing
Starting prices from our services catalog. Material is always quoted separately, and you see the full quote before any work starts.
Functional Part / Replacement
Recreate a broken or discontinued part: measured, modeled and test-fit.
Custom CAD Design
Brackets, enclosures and mounts designed from your specs.
Print-Ready File
You supply the STL; we print and finish it.
Need 5 to 25 of the same part? Short runs are quoted on request.
What to Send Us
The more of this you have, the faster the quote.
- Photos of the part from several sides, with a ruler in the shot
- Every broken piece, even the small ones
- The make and model of what it came from
- The part it attaches to, if it can come off
- Where it lives: indoors, outdoors, near heat or water
- How many you need
If printing is the wrong answer, we will say so. Parts that carry real load, sit near engine heat or hold pressure may need a different material or a machined part. You hear that before you pay for anything.
