ABOUT

If you require help and think 3D printing can do this, it can be for anything you consider "good" if, for example, your grandfather lost a small bespoke plastic gear in a beloved clock, we can help with that too! Please make a post and use the provided flairs; please describe what you need in reasonable detail and attach or be prepared to send pictures that you think may be useful to the great people here.

If you have a Printer and are happy to help, that's great. You don't need to be super experienced or trained in CAD; you may need to print and post something to someone closer to you than anyone else. Please use your common sense when it comes to locations and such. Please avoid making posts saying that you have a printer, and instead, approach people who have questions asking for help. You can set your printer type in your user flair.

If you are an engineer or trained in CAD software such as Creo Parametric, Siemens NX, Solidworks etc., please add the "designer" flair to yourself. Your skills are valuable and useful universally, regardless of whether you have a 3D printer, as you can send the STL to others closer to the target receiver.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Please be realistic about what can be done, do not trust your life to any solution offered here, do not expect the parts to handle heavy abuse, please do not use any parts in situations where they may be damaged or may damage you, such as labour, driving or sport. You are being supplied a 3D printed component, not advertised as an FDA Approved prosthetic or professional engineering solution. You are responsible for the usage of the part and any effects this has. The supplier, designer and this subreddit take no responsibility for injury, damage, or otherwise caused by the parts provided.

Please note that these are not formally medically or veterinary-approved solutions and are not produced by a commercial business. Capabilities may vary from person to person, and laws may differ from one region to region. You install these items of your own choice and acceptance of risk, and it is recommended to remove them at any sign of discomfort.
