Workshop guide / 02
Useful parts.
Not risky ones.
We make clips, caps, guides, knobs and brackets whose failure would be annoying, not dangerous. This is the first check every custom request gets.
The quick decision
What happens if it breaks again?
If the honest answer includes injury, fire, flooding, loss of control or contaminated drinking water, it isn’t a job for this workshop.
- 01
Does it support a person?
Chair structures, mobility aids, climbing equipment, child restraints and fall-prevention parts are out.
- 02
Does it control a vehicle?
No braking, steering, restraint, visibility, drivetrain or other safety-related vehicle components.
- 03
Does it contain energy?
No mains electricity, gas, pressure vessels, compressed air, flames or sustained high heat.
- 04
Does hygiene depend on it?
No medical devices, food-contact claims or drinking-water system parts.

We won’t make
- Parts that carry body weight

- Child-safety or fall-prevention hardware
Borderline requests
Ask before assuming.
Can you print a car interior trim clip?+
We may consider purely cosmetic interior trim after seeing where it fits. We do not make parts connected to controls, restraints, visibility, braking, steering or vehicle safety.
Can you copy an electrical cover?+
Not where the part provides mains insulation, protects live components or forms part of an electrical enclosure. Use the manufacturer or a qualified repairer.
What about a garden hose fitting?+
A low-pressure, non-drinking-water fitting may be considered. Gas, compressed air, pressure vessels and potable-water parts are excluded.
Will you tell me if a request is unsuitable?+
Yes. The safety review happens before quoting. A declined request costs nothing.
Still uncertain?
Show us the context.
Include a photograph of the whole object and explain what the part does. If the risk wasn’t obvious from the form, we’ll decline the request and explain why. No charge.
