What do people in Whangārei get 3D printed?
Boat and marine fittings, outdoor and garden parts, replacement parts for baches and farms, and prototypes for local makers.
Whangārei has one of New Zealand's busiest marine repair and refit scenes, centred on the Town Basin and Port Nikau. Boat owners and marine workshops often need small, non-structural plastic parts that would otherwise come from overseas.
Northland's sun, salt and humidity are hard on cheap plastics, so the material matters.
Which 3D printing material suits Whangārei?
Use PETG for anything on a boat or outdoors in Northland: it handles UV, heat and salt spray much better than PLA and won't corrode. Use TPU for bumpers, grommets and seals.
- 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.
