3D Printed Spare Parts: We will Restore What Broke
Plastic part broke? No need to buy the whole assembly — we will print a replacement. From a sample, photo or drawing. We will pick the right material for durability. Most often people come to us with appliance parts, furniture hardware and electronics components — and almost always the solution is faster and cheaper than ordering the original.
- ✓ Precise fit: measured and adjusted to ±0.2 mm tolerance
- ✓ Strong materials: PETG for appliances, CF for load-bearing and mechanical parts
- ✓ From photo or sample — no 3D file needed
- ✓ Home appliances, furniture, car accessories, electronics
- ✓ We can improve the part: reinforce, add mounting points
- ✓ Test piece for fitment check before the final print
- ✓ Free modeling of simple parts from a sample
- ✓ Ready in 1–2 days, rush orders — same day
This is one of the most practical 3D printing services we offer in Riga. Fridge handle broke, coffee grinder lid cracked, vacuum cleaner latch snapped, shelf bracket gave out — sound familiar? The manufacturer either does not sell these parts separately, or the replacement costs an unreasonable amount, or shipping takes a month. 3D printing solves the problem in a day or two and costs a fraction of the price.
Here is how it works: you photograph the broken part (ideally with a ruler for scale) and send it to us via messenger. If you have a second intact part — great, we will take precise measurements from it. If not — we will figure it out from the photo and description. We create a 3D model, confirm it with you, and print. Dimensional tolerance is ±0.2 mm, which is enough for a precise fit. If needed, we make a test piece to check the fitment, then print the final version.
We pick the material based on the task. For parts that do not bear load — PLA works fine. For mechanical parts that deal with friction or heat — PETG: it is stronger, more flexible, and handles temperatures up to 80°C. For parts under serious stress (hinges, brackets, car latches) — CF (carbon-filled polyamide), which approaches engineering plastics in strength and wear resistance.
Examples of what we have already printed in Riga: washing machine feet, cabinet handles, blinds clips, drawer slides, battery compartment covers, car phone holders. If a part can be improved — we will suggest it: reinforce the wall, add a stiffening rib, make the mount more reliable than the original.
Recommended Material
We recommend PETG — stronger than PLA, heat-resistant. For max rigidity — CF (carbon fibre).
FAQ
- I have no 3D file, only a broken part
- That is enough. Bring the part in and we will scan it or model it from measurements. If it shattered, bring every piece: the geometry of the whole is rebuilt from them.
- Which material for a part in a car?
- PETG or CF, not PLA. A cabin in summer goes above 60°C and PLA loses its shape at that temperature. CF is stiffer and more dimensionally stable; PETG is cheaper and more forgiving of impact.
- Will a printed part take the load?
- It depends on direction. Along the layers it is close to moulded; across them it is noticeably weaker. Tell us how the part is loaded and we will orient it on the plate so the layers run the right way.
- How long does it take?
- Usually 1–2 days after confirmation. If a scan or modelling is needed, add time for those — we will tell you exactly once we have seen the part.
Photo the broken part and send it — we will estimate in 15 minutes
