who am i?

i’m a designer with a 3D printer in the cupboard at home.

it’s a pretty nice 3D printer as 3D printers go and i’ve been doing this for a while.

wanna know about the technology? basically, it’s a box that eats plastic and shits products.

why lolprintz4u? i didn’t wanna trash my brand as a designer by making any old crap for cash, so i made a separate crap website instead. probably to protect my ego. don’t get me wrong, i’ll do a good job at making the thing you want.

what can i print?

board game pieces

ok nerds, hold onto your dice and listen up. if you need character models to bring your table top role play to life, or little train pieces because you threw ticket to ride across the room, i got you.

spare parts

if you feel good about yourself by doing diy jobs, but have no technical skills, i understand. there’s no need to tell anyone, just give me a shout and i’ll print off that replacement bracket. i’m probably no more expensive than b&q anyway.

props and costume

avin it large at croydon comic con? cool, i can print off your ironman mask or stormtrooper E11 blaster. no it wont actually fly or shoot lasers. i cannot guarantee it’ll get you laid either, but you will look the part.

FAQs

  • about 22cm^3, give or take.

  • kinda. currently i can print with 4 colours at the same time. if i’m not in stock of a particular colour material it may take a few days longer.

  • depends. i’ll try and get back to you in a day or so with a quote and lead time. most prints will be ready in a few days and shipped after that, but can take longer.

  • no, i’m just the 3D print guy. if you’d like your model painted you’ll have to do that yourself or i can put you in touch with artists who are good at finishing.

  • typically ill print with pla, but petg, abs or tpu are also possible. if you need something particularly strong or flexible let me know and we can discuss options.

  • kinda. the most common material i use is pla, which is a plant based polymer and is biodegradable*. other plastics available are fossil fuel based, which sucks. i don’t currently offset my energy use, but we can talk about that if it’s important to you.

    *sort of biodegradable. with the right industrial processes, yes, but i wouldn’t stick it in your compost bin.

  • no.

    • i’m not gonna do firearms, weapons or even parts for firearms and weapons.

    • if you don’t have permission from the ip owner to reproduce the design, you shouldn’t have it printed. (FYI, it’s your responsibility to check if you have permission)

    • the technology, although really flexible, does have technical limitations. i’ll let you know if it can’t be done and what modifications may need to be made.

    generally speaking, i can print most things. whatever you want i’ll give it a go, so long as it’s not a gun, stolen or straight up impossible.

  • uk.

  • i’ll take a look at the 3D file and calculate how much material, energy and labour it will take, add on some profit then give you a price for the whole job. there’s no fixed price list, i’ll give you a quote each time. i’ll calculate shipping and packaging separately and let you know that too. if I can bring the cost down by either batching it with someone else’s order or changing the material I will suggest that to you if i can.
