3D printing & prototyping

Mail me the broken part. I'll make one that fits.

CAD design and 3D printing for replacement parts, brackets, enclosures, and prototypes — shipped anywhere in the US.

What I make

Parts you cannot buy anymore, and parts nobody sells

Designed in CAD, printed in plastic, and checked against the real thing before it ships.

  • Obsolete and discontinued parts

    The part broke and the manufacturer stopped making it years ago. I reverse-engineer it from the broken original — or from photos and measurements — and print one that fits.

  • Brackets, mounts, knobs, and covers

    The small parts that hold everything else together: sensor mounts, cable clips, replacement knobs, battery doors, access covers, spacers.

  • Enclosures

    Cases for electronics, controllers, and sensors, designed around the board and the connectors so everything lines up the first time.

  • Product prototypes

    A physical version of an idea you can hold, test, and show someone — then revise. Fit, form, and function before you spend money on tooling.

  • Printing from your file

    Already have a model? Send the STL, STEP, or 3MF and I print it. I check it for printability first and tell you if something will not work.

Process

How it works

Four steps. You approve a written price before anything is printed.

  1. 01

    Send what you have

    Photos and measurements, the broken part itself, or your model file. Email photos and files to support@systemvoidz.com — the contact form cannot take attachments.

  2. 02

    Quote

    You get a price and a turnaround in writing before I start. Nothing is modelled or printed until you say yes.

  3. 03

    Model and fit-check

    I model the part and print a fit-check. If it needs adjusting, it gets adjusted before the final print.

  4. 04

    Ship

    The finished part ships to you at cost. The design stays on file, so a reorder is print cost only.

Once I have designed a part for you, the design stays on file. A reorder is print cost only — no design time the second time.

Rates effective 2026 and subject to change on new quotes only.

Materials

Four plastics, each for a job

Not sure which one you need? Tell me where the part lives and I will pick.

PLA
Indoor parts and fit-checks. Stiff, accurate, and inexpensive, but it softens in a hot car.
PETG
Tougher than PLA. Handles mild heat and many common chemicals.
ASA
Outdoor use. Holds up to sun, UV, and heat — equipment housings, anything that lives outside.
TPU
Flexible, rubber-like. Gaskets, bumpers, grips, and feet.

Limits

What I won't print

Declined
  • Firearm parts or components of any kind.
  • Safety-critical or load-bearing parts where a failure could injure someone — lifting, pressure-containing, brake, or steering parts, for example.

Questions

Common questions

What do you need from me?

Any one of three things: clear photos with measurements, the broken part itself mailed in, or your model file (STL, STEP, or 3MF). Email photos and files to support@systemvoidz.com.

Tell me what the part does and where it lives — indoors, outdoors, near heat, under load — so I can pick the right material.

Can you match a part you have never seen?

Usually, yes. Photos from a few angles with caliper measurements of the critical dimensions are often enough. If the fit is tight or the shape is complicated, mail me the part and I will measure it here.

Who owns the design file?

You do. When I design a part for you, you get the STL or STEP file on request. I also keep a copy on file so a reorder costs print time only.

How long does it take?

Turnaround is quoted per job, because a knob and a multi-part enclosure are not the same amount of work. A 48-hour rush is available at +50%.

Do you print in resin or metal?

No. FDM plastics only — PLA, PETG, ASA, and TPU.

Tell me what broke, or what you want built.

Send a message through the contact form, then email photos, measurements, or your model file to support@systemvoidz.com. You will get a reply the same business day.
