01
Measured to fit
The original part, fitting space and connection points are used to understand the dimensions that matter.

Broken part,
practical replacement.
When a small plastic component is unavailable or no longer supplied, a purpose-designed 3D-printed replacement may offer a sensible solution—from clips and spacers to covers, knobs and brackets.
Practical by design
Made around the real job.
02
Improved where useful
A weak feature or awkward detail can sometimes be adjusted rather than copying the original part without question.
03
Honest suitability check
Not every component is right for 3D printing. Safety-critical, highly loaded or regulated uses need appropriate specialist assessment.
How it works
Recreate what matters.
Show the part
Send photos of the component, how it failed and where it normally fits.
Capture dimensions
Provide the original where practical, or accurate measurements of key faces, holes and clearances.
Design for use
The replacement is modelled around fit, print direction and the demands of the everyday task.
Useful to know
Common questions.
Do I need the original part?+
It helps, but clear photos and accurate measurements may be enough for a straightforward item.
Can you copy any broken component?+
No. Suitability depends on size, geometry, heat, load and safety requirements. 3DLee will be honest when printing is not the right approach.
Can a weak area be strengthened?+
Sometimes. Where space and function allow, geometry can be adjusted to improve support or reduce a known stress point.

Send Lee a description, a photo or sketch, and any useful measurements. You’ll get an honest view of what is practical.
