Services
I offer FDM and SLA 3D Printing. The different 3D Printing technology is explained below:
FDM
Fused Deposition Modelling is one of the most common 3D Printing technologies available. FDM printers use filament, which is a roll of a continuous, thin plastic that is fed into an extruder mechanism to be melted by the hotend. This results in melted plastic coming out of the nozzle onto the build plate, where the model is printed layer-by-layer. This technology is used for large models, and ones which do not require a high amount of detail.
SLA - (Currently Unavailable)
Stereolithography, or SLA 3D Printing is used when the model requires a high level of detail, which would not be optimal or achievable using a FDM 3D Printer. Instead of filament being heated up, photopolymer resin is poured into the printer's vat. An ultraviolet light is shone through a screen, commonly LCD, this displays an image of the current layer, so the UV light cures the resin in the desired shape.
Have a look on 3D file websites such as Thingiverse, Yeggi, Cults 3D and similar sites to see if there is a pre-existing file of what you would like printing.
If you have no file, contact me and I will see if I am able to create one for you.
Once you have contacted me, I will have a look at the file, see if it is possible to print and get you a cost.
Once you have a file, you can contact me through any of the methods displayed on the contact page.
I have printed products in the past for people, such as Knitting parts and Geocache containers. Some examples are shown below.
Anti Steam Mask Clips
Anti Steam Mask clips are an excellent way to prevent/reduce the amount of times your glasses steam up from wearing a mask.
Brick Inspired Flowers
This is one of the most popular items requested, brick inspired flowers. They come in two sizes, small and large.
Lithophanes
Lithophanes are a great way to display your precious images, in an unusual, but eye-catching format.
Knitting Machine Rack
This Knitting Machine rack was printed in a flexible material, called TPU. This enabled the gear to travel along the rack more smoothly, with less friction.
Geocache Puzzle Maze
This was one of my requests, the model was downloaded from Thingiverse, and printed for the customer.
Unicorn Geocache
A customer requested a unique container for a Geocache, this was a unicorn! 🦄
I have also provided 3D Printing for companies, small businesses and events:
IPrint Lincs has created many 3d designs and prints for customers. If you are requiring a 3d model, please contact me using one of the options on the contact page so we can discuss the design further.
Here are a few examples of what I have designed in the past:
A Fine Pair Geocache
Personalised Christmas Baubles
A customer wanted a photograph of their dog turning into a bauble to hang off of their Christmas tree.
The design allows a small LED light to be inserted into the middle of the bauble.
Sewing Machine Cake Topper
To make a customer's daughters birthday cake extra special, they requested a custom desiged Sewing Machine cake topper designing, with their name and age.
uPVC Draft Blocker
A customer was having an extension being built on their house, but the doors had a large gap in-between them! So they wanted a solution to stop air from leaking inside and outside the house.
Caravan Tap Handles
A set of caravan tap handles were designed and printed after a request from a customer who needed their existing taps modifying, as they were too difficult to grip onto and turn.
Easter Cookie Cutters
A customer wanted some Easter themed cookie cutters!
