Sometime in 2023, I posted an add to Facebook Marketplace advertising to the world that I would 3D model and 3D print whatever part someone wanted or fix an issue they had through my service. I received more inquiries than I imagined. Below is the first version of the ad I posted. I was required to change it over time, as Facebook doesn’t allow posting services.
If you’re struggling to find that small part for your broken washing machine…or if you have an idea for a tool/jig that could make your life easier…or even want to 3D print something for your hobby…I want to help.
As an engineer and long-time innovator, I have many years of designing/building experience and want to help others with their own designs/builds. I have a genuine passion for prototyping models that come to life with my 3D printers. I’m just a regular guy, not some company and I’m here to help. I can help with:
– Creating hard to find or expensive OEM parts
– 3D Modeling & Designing parts for your project
– Creating new parts & products
– Printing a creative project you may have
– Printing .stl files you already have
Reach out, share your vision, and let’s create something amazing together!
The incredible thing about this “experiment” was that it showed me that there is a real need in our communities for small, custom solutions for “regular folk.” Below are some of the example projects I worked on for people.
DesignedLocally.com came from this very idea – to create a network of 3D designers and 3D printers.
