Maker
A discontinued knob, missing battery cover or broken plastic clip can be difficult to replace. Start with photos and the dimensions that matter; our team reviews whether a 3D printed replacement is suitable.
No CAD file or modelling experience needed. Keep the broken pieces if you have them.
You do not need a technical drawing to ask us for help.
Take clear front, side and back photos in good light. Place a ruler beside the part, level with the surface you want to measure. Include close-ups of broken tabs and all remaining pieces.
Photograph the mounting location too, so we can see how it connects.
Give width, height and depth in millimetres. Measure holes, shafts, screw spacing and clip thickness where possible. Calipers help with small features; a ruler in a photo gives context but cannot establish every tolerance.
If you cannot measure something, mark it as unknown and we will ask for the missing detail.
Tell us the appliance or object, what broke, what the part must fit, and whether it faces heat, sunlight, moisture, bending or load. Include the quantity and your target date.
A working matching part, such as a second knob, can be a useful reference.
Measure the outside diameter, depth and shaft hole. Show whether the hole is round, D-shaped or splined. Note how far the shaft inserts and any pointer position.
Measure the opening and cover thickness. Photograph tabs, grooves and the direction the cover slides or clips in. Thin flexible tabs may need a different design or material.
Include the tooth count, outside diameter, thickness and centre hole. Explain what drives it and how much force it sees. Tooth geometry and material suitability need review before we can confirm a printable option.
We check the references, request missing dimensions and explain the design and printing costs. You review the digital model and quote before production. A trial print may be needed before ordering several copies.
A model preview confirms appearance, but it cannot prove physical fit or strength. We do not accept safety-critical replacement parts or promise an exact fit from one photo.
