What we fix

The stuff that makes you want to throw it.

Clogged Hotends

Jammed nozzles, heat creep, partial clogs. We clean or replace and get filament flowing again.

Bed Leveling

Warped beds, bad first layers, ABL sensor calibration. Dialed in to 0.1mm.

Board & Electrical

Blown MOSFETs, dead thermistors, fried mainboards. Component-level diagnosis.

Extruder Problems

Grinding filament, skipping steps, Bowden vs direct drive conversions.

Belts, Rails & Motion

Layer shifts, ghosting, Z-wobble, binding lead screws. Squared, tensioned and re-trammed.

Won't Power On

Dead PSUs, chewed wiring, blown fuses, burnt connectors. The machine that does nothing at all.

What it costs

No mystery math.

You get a diagnosis, a timeline and a price before we touch anything. Here's how the bill is built.

Repair $45 / hour

Plus a flat $5 bench fee per repair. Covers diagnosis, labor, calibration and a test print to prove it works.

Needs a part? $45 / hour

Same hourly rate for the labor, plus the part itself. We price it and get your OK before we order anything.

↳

You approve the number before we start. We quote the repair after we've looked at the machine, not before. If the fix costs more than the printer is worth, we'll tell you that instead of taking the job.

Monthly service

Stop fixing. Start running.

A machine that runs every day doesn't break all at once. It drifts. Nozzles wear, belts stretch, the bed creeps, a fan starts dying weeks before the print does. A service account means we get to it before you notice.

Service Accounts

We come on a schedule you set, monthly or quarterly, and go through every machine you own. You get a written condition report per printer, so you know what's wearing before it strands a job.

  • Nozzle inspected, cleaned or replaced before it clogs mid-print
  • Belts tensioned, rails and lead screws cleaned and lubricated
  • Bed trammed and a first layer verified on the machine, not on paper
  • Extruder gears cleaned, tension set, PTFE checked
  • Fans, wiring and connectors checked for the failures you can hear coming
  • Full test print left with the machine as proof it works
  • Written condition report per printer: what's fine, what's wearing, what to order
  • Priority bench. Account machines jump the queue when something does break
