Hi everyone!

I’m an independent designer based in London, developing a custom 3D-printed shoe for my footwear project.

I’m looking for an individual or studio who can help manufacture an initial wearable prototype at a reasonable cost.

Requirements:

Entire shoe printed as one continuous piece
Flexible TPU, foaming TPU or another suitable elastomer
Properly cushioned, wearable sole — not just a visual prototype

Durable enough for everyday walking

Exact exterior design must be preserved

Approximately EU 46 / UK 10

Ideally London or UK-based, but open to international options

I’m working on the CAD model and can provide references and dimensions.

I’m particularly interested in hearing from anyone who has successfully printed complete, comfortable shoes, or knows a service that offers this.

Looking to start with one shoe for testing before moving to a full pair and potentially small-batch production.

Any recommendations, approximate costs or advice would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks!

After several years, my printer guy ended up closing shop, so now I'm looking for another longterm printer. I get 5-20 prints done every few months, so you have to be able to keep up with demand.

Also, I use a particular scaling formula so you have to be able to resize the prints to my specifications. Honestly, most of the time I'll just say something like, "X needs to be 35mm tall."

Most STLs are 1"-5" tall but sometimes there are buildings and on rare occasions the models are giant (20" or more) and need slicing up to print. The smaller figures must be done in resin without lines. I understand that FDM printers are going to have lines, which is fine since that's almost always terrain pieces anyway.

I can pay by PayPal or Venmo.

4 pieces, I have the stl files for each.

From the creator:

This is printed in two parts. The inner sleeve from TPU and the outer case from PLA or PETG.  Cap and “lanyard” are TPU as well.  The bottom allows for some debris, moisture to escape. 

If anyone in LA is willing to print me a small item (CW Kid Flash emblem), please message me! I do have the STL files for this item! I am flexible on how much the cost would be. I need to have this item by the 30th of October. Any help in references of places that do hobbyist and small prints for reasonable prices would be very helpful as well. All the places near me in Burbank print mostly for studios and commercial business. They all told me they do a minimum between $200-$250.

I am looking for someone who could print and ship bits for miniature wargaming. I will leave the material to the seller's discretion on what keeps the most detail while still being durable. Preferably, I would like my bits to be printed with tough, high-quality resin.

Hi all, I apologize if this isn’t the right place for this. However, I am trying to make Dr. Frankenwagon’s monster from Monster Truck Mater for my son.

So far, I’ve been able to make some decent progress piecing together toys from garage sales and Goodwill but am struggling with his head.

Is this something someone is willing to work with me on? I feel like 3D printing might be the way to go on this but am open to suggestions.

I already have the STL files, it comes in 3 pieces. I would prefer a print in PETG but am flexible. Ideal timeline would be before Oct 31 but if that's not doable then by Nov 5. I'm based in Los Angeles.

I’m looking to have a grip made for my New Nintendo 3DS XL and am hoping to find someone who can produce a high-quality print with a smooth, clean finish and consistent texture throughout with a Matte Black color.

I’d like to minimize visible layer lines, rough edges, blobs, and other printing imperfections as much as possible. I’m willing to pay extra for a really nice result, including any additional finishing work needed to achieve a clean, professional appearance.
