Broken Plastic Part 3D Printing

We Reproduce Spare Parts You Can No Longer Find

When a small plastic part of an old appliance, a piece of furniture, or a long-discontinued home device breaks, you are usually told "there are no spare parts for it anymore." This is exactly where broken plastic part 3D printing comes in: using the broken part in your hand or the gap it needs to fit as a reference, we remodel the part and reprint it with FDM (filament) technology. We will work on even a single unit, so you never have to throw away an entire device just because of a tiny clip or gear.

This is not a ready-made product or a stock-file sale; it is a custom production service for you. You send a photo of the part and a few measurements, and we take care of the rest. Because we work exclusively with FDM, we produce natural, sturdy plastic parts suitable for everyday use.

Which Plastic Parts Can We Print?

The vast majority of plastic parts that break in homes and daily use can be reproduced with FDM. The requests we see most often:

• Appliances: refrigerator shelf brackets, door baskets/bottle racks, washing machine and dishwasher knobs, lid hinges, water tank caps
• Furniture and cabinets: hinge pieces, foot/plinth caps, drawer rail locks, shelf pins, cabinet handles
• Small home appliances: mixer/blender gears, food-processor lid locks, vacuum clips, fan blade holders
• Toys and hobby: broken connector pieces, missing gears, clips and joints
• Automotive interior trim: dashboard/door panel clips, grille tabs, small holders and brackets

Send a Photo and We’ll Model and Print It

You don’t need a technical drawing or a ready 3D model. Most of our customers come with just a photo of the broken part. Here is the handful of simple things we ask for: clear photos of the part taken from different angles, basic measurements taken with a ruler or caliper (length, diameter, hole spacing, thickness), and, if possible, a photo of where the part fits. If you still have the broken part, placing the two broken halves side by side for a photo also makes our job easier.

With this information we redraw the part on the computer (reverse engineering) and prepare it for printing. For complex parts or ones that require precise dimensions, we confirm the model with you before printing, so we can be sure the holes, tabs, and seating surfaces come out right.

Let’s Choose the Right Filament Together

Where and how the part works determines which filament it should be printed with. While PLA is enough for visible parts that aren’t put under much stress, for parts that flex, take impact, or are frequently snapped in and out we recommend more durable options such as PETG or ABS/ASA. For parts like seals, bumpers, or flexible holders we use flexible TPU. For kitchen and damp-environment parts, we prefer materials more resistant to moisture and heat.

With our 17 different FDM filament options, we’ll work out together which one best suits your part’s usage conditions. Because we produce only with FDM, we do not offer resin, SLS, or metal laser printing; we don’t make real metal parts, but with metal-look and reinforced filaments we cover many spare-part needs.

Instant Price and Delivery in 1 Business Day

We work with transparent, per-gram pricing, so you clearly see what you are paying for. If you already have an STL/OBJ/STEP file, you can upload it to our browser-based instant price calculator and see the price in seconds. If you don’t have a file, just send us the photos and measurements; we’ll work out the exact price, modeling included, and get back to you.

Once you approve, we move to production and deliver most parts in 1 business day. We only take payment after you approve the quote, so there are no surprise costs. We are based in Sile, Istanbul (Anatolian side) and ship throughout Turkey by courier.

Frequently Asked Questions

I only have the broken part, no technical drawing. Can you still print it?

Yes. Most of our jobs start with just a photo of the broken part and a few measurements. We remodel the part from this information (reverse engineering) and prepare it for printing. You don’t need a ready 3D file.

If the part is completely broken and lost, can you produce it just by looking at where it fits?

In most cases, yes. With photos of the gap where the part fits, the measurements of the neighboring parts, and the device’s model information if available, we can redraw the part. At critical points where exact measurements can’t be taken, we confirm the fit with a test piece before printing.

How do you decide which material to print with?

We recommend based on where the part is used: PLA for visible parts under little stress, PETG/ABS/ASA where durability is needed, and TPU for flexible parts. From our 17 FDM filament options we’ll determine the most suitable one for you together. We work only with FDM; we don’t offer resin, SLS, or metal laser printing.

Will the produced part be as strong as the original?

FDM printing provides enough strength for many household and spare-part applications; with the right filament, wall thickness, and infill ratio we produce parts suitable for everyday use. That said, we don’t promise the exact same material properties as the original injection-molded part; if you tell us the part’s working conditions, we’ll recommend the most suitable solution accordingly.

Do you print a single part too, and how much does it cost and take?

Yes, we work on single units as well. If you have a ready file, you can see the price immediately from our instant price calculator; if not, send us the photos and measurements to get an exact price. After approval, we deliver most parts in 1 business day, and we only take payment after approval.
