What do people in Auckland get 3D printed?
Mostly practical parts: replacement clips and knobs for appliances, brackets and mounts for homes and workshops, enclosures for electronics projects, and prototypes for the city's start-ups and product designers.
Auckland is New Zealand's largest city and its biggest base for small manufacturers, product start-ups and university engineering and design students. That mix means a lot of one-off prototypes and short runs of 5–10 parts, which is exactly where FDM printing beats waiting on overseas suppliers.
Because the printers are in Mt Eden, Auckland is the one place where you can collect your part in person. Central suburbs such as Epsom, Kingsland, Grey Lynn, Ponsonby, Newmarket and Mt Albert are a short drive away.
- 3D printed replacement parts →Broken appliance clips, knobs and covers that are no longer sold.

- 3D printed home and garden parts →Organisers, hooks and fittings for apartments and villas.
Which 3D printing material suits Auckland?
PLA suits most indoor parts. Choose PETG for anything that lives outside or in a car: Auckland summers are humid and the UV is strong, and PLA can soften in a hot car or on a sunny deck.
- PLA: rigid, precise, the widest colour range. Best indoors.
- PETG: tough, heat-tolerant to ~80 °C, good outdoors.
- TPU: flexible and grippy, for seals, bumpers and cases.
