Custom 3D printed car parts Fix it, fit it, or light it up.
Snapped clips, cracked trim, a blank in the dash that should hold a switch. We model the part to fit your car, print it in plastic that survives a summer on the dashboard, and wire it if it needs to light up.
Cars, trucks and boats. Pickup in Sault Ste. Marie, or shipped anywhere in Canada.

Broken, discontinued, or never made.
These are the kinds of car jobs we take on. The story is usually the same: the broken bit is small, but the dealer only sells it as part of a whole assembly, or stopped selling it years ago.
Clips, tabs and latches
Door card clips, vent tabs, console latches and glovebox hinges. We copy the original, then beef up the spot that broke.
Cracked or missing trim
Bezels, switch blanks, cupholder inserts, and sill and pillar trim, printed in ASA so they don’t warp or fade in the sun.
Mounts for what you’ve added
Phone, dash cam, radio and gauge mounts that use the existing screw holes and clips, so nothing gets drilled.
Switch panels
A faceplate that fills a blank in the dash, with backlit labels, plus a fused, relay-switched harness for a light bar or an air compressor.
Lighting that looks factory
Footwell, door and dash trim lighting in diffused channels, so you see a line of light instead of dots. It can fade up when a door opens. More on lighting.
Storage that fits the space
Console trays, door pocket inserts, cargo dividers and tool holders, modelled to the space they go in.
Built for a car, not a desk.
A car parked in the sun gets far hotter inside than the air outside, and the dashboard gets hotter still. Plain PLA softens at about 55 °C, so a PLA part on a dash can sag in its first heatwave. We pick the plastic for where the part lives.
Compare every material| Where it goes | What we print it in |
|---|---|
| Dash, console and door cards | ASA, which takes heat and sunlight |
| Clips that flex as you fit them | Nylon or PETG |
| Gears and anything that slides | Nylon, which wears in rather than out |
| Engine-bay brackets, away from the exhaust | Carbon-fibre nylon |
| Boots, grommets, seals and anti-rattle pads | TPU, firm or extra soft |
| Lenses and light diffusers | Translucent PETG |
Getting us the part
The part itself tells us the most. If it won’t come out, good photos and the vehicle details usually do the job.
-
Pop it out and mail it in
A broken part shows us the clip angles, the wall thickness and where it failed. Send every piece, even the small ones.
-
Or send photos
Straight on, with a ruler in the shot, plus the make, model and year. How to photograph a part.
-
Or send the good side
If the matching part on the other side of the car is intact, send that and we’ll model a mirror image.
-
Try it in place
You get a test print to fit before we make the final part. If it’s off, we adjust and reprint.
Where plastic isn’t the answer
Some parts should stay metal or factory-made. Anything that keeps you safe on the road, like brake, steering, suspension, seatbelt and airbag parts, needs the real thing. So do parts that touch the exhaust or turbo, which run hotter than any plastic we print.
If your part is one of those, we’ll tell you when you ask, and the quote won’t cost you anything.
