3D Printed Replacement Parts — Fix It Instead of Replacing It

When one small plastic part breaks — a knob, a clip, a hinge piece — the whole appliance or piece of furniture often still works fine. I design and 3D print custom replacement parts to match what’s broken or missing, made in PLA or PETG in Finland and shipped across the EU.

What can be replaced?

If a part is plastic, non-structural, and not part of an electrical or safety system, there’s a good chance it can be reprinted. Common requests include:

• Appliance knobs & dials — for ovens, washing machines, dryers and other kitchen or utility appliances.
• Furniture fittings, cam locks & shelf pegs — the small connectors that go missing in a move and leave furniture unusable.
• Curtain rings, hooks & blind parts — small clips and rings that snap with everyday use.
• Drawer stops, runners & guide clips — worn parts that make a drawer jam or fall out.
• Remote control & battery covers — lost covers that let batteries fall out.
• Cabinet latches & light hinge parts — small catches that keep doors closed.
• Eyewear parts — temple tips and nose-pad holders that go missing or wear out.
• Knobs & dials for older radios and electronics — for restoring retro tech (housing and cosmetic parts only).

A growing, sensible choice across the EU

Repairing instead of replacing is becoming the norm across Europe, and independent, 3D printed replacement parts are increasingly recognised as part of that — as long as they’re safe and don’t involve anyone else’s trademark. A printed clip or knob is often far cheaper and faster than tracking down an original part that’s no longer sold.

What I need from you

The more I can see and measure, the better the fit. Send a clear photo of the broken or missing part (next to a ruler or coin for scale), the brand and model if you know it, and ideally the broken original if you can post it — for symmetrical parts, even half of the original is often enough.

What’s not covered

For safety, I don’t make structural, load-bearing, electrical-safety, or vehicle parts that affect driving, braking, steering or the engine — see what I print and what I don’t.
