Wattreach Workshop

Have a part that needs printing?

A bracket that broke, a mount nobody sells, a kickstand pad for your bike, a jig for the garage. Send a file or a sketch with measurements and we print it on the Workshop's Prusa CORE One in ASA, PETG, PLA or TPU, watch it to the last layer, and post it.

How it works

Four steps, one printer, no surprises

  1. 01

    Tell us about the part

    Use the contact form with the print option: what the part is, how many, what it has to survive, and when you need it. Attach an STL or STEP if you have one; a sketch with measurements, or a photo with a ruler in it, is enough for us to model it.

  2. 02

    We quote it

    We reply with a price for the material, the print time and the postage, and with anything we would change for a stronger print: wall count, orientation, a chamfer where it meets the bed. Nothing is printed until you say yes.

  3. 03

    It prints, and you can watch

    Your job runs on the same machine as our own parts, with the live feed on the Workshop page while it prints. Every job is checked at the first layer and watched to the end; a print that fails is reprinted, not posted.

  4. 04

    It ships

    The finished part is cleaned up, test-fitted where we can, and posted with tracking. Files you sent stay yours; we keep nothing you did not ask us to publish.

What to send

The six things a quote needs

  • The part. What it is and what it attaches to.
  • Quantity. One, a pair, a set of four.
  • Material, or what the part has to survive: sun, heat, flexing, a load.
  • Files. STL or STEP, or measurements and a sketch, or a photo with a ruler.
  • Where it goes. Outdoors on a trailer is a different print from a drawer in a kitchen.
  • When you need it. We give a date with the quote.

Our own parts are made the same way: every fit dimension is a named parameter in the design source, a printed gauge coupon proves the fit before the real part, and the live feed above shows the bed while it runs. See the Gold Wing 50th Kickstand Pad or the Airstream Stabilizer Jack Pad for what comes off this machine.

On the bench now

What the shop is making for itself

  • Wattreach Workshop Utility Hook A screw-mount J-hook for the trailer, the truck bed, or the garage wall.
  • Gold Wing Pocket Vault A hidden false-floor vault for the right fairing pocket, styled like the factory pocket bottom.
  • Airstream Jack Stand Boot A flexible TPU sole the tongue-jack stand sits in, so a stone meets rubber instead of a rigid edge.
  • Airstream Tongue Jack Stand A stand the power tongue jack lands on, so the jack runs less extension. The first design collapsed in service; the redesign is on the bench.

FAQ

Printing for you, answered

The questions people ask before they send a part.

What can the printer make?

A Prusa CORE One, enclosed, with a 250 by 220 by 270 mm build volume and a 0.4 mm nozzle. Parts up to that size in one piece; larger things in sections that bolt or key together.

Which materials do you print?

ASA for anything that lives outside or gets hot (sun, asphalt, an engine bay): it is what our own Airstream and motorcycle parts are printed in. PETG for tough indoor and garage parts. PLA for jigs, prototypes and anything decorative. TPU for flexible parts, gaskets, boots and bumpers. If you are not sure, say what the part has to survive and we will pick.

What file do you need?

An STL or STEP is ideal. If you have neither, send measurements and a sketch, or a photo with a ruler in frame, and we model the part in parametric CAD, which also means the next size up is a number change rather than a new design.

How much does it cost?

Material and print time, plus postage, quoted before anything prints. A small bracket is a few dollars of filament and an hour on the bed; a large ASA part can run most of a day. Design time for a part we model from scratch is quoted separately and is often waived when the part is something we would publish for others.

How long does it take?

Quotes within a day or two. Printing depends on the queue and the part: one printer, run by one person, with our own parts in the same queue. We give you a date with the quote and tell you if it moves.

Will you print something copyrighted or a part of a safety system?

No to copyrighted or trademarked designs you do not have rights to, and no to parts whose failure could hurt someone: brake, steering, suspension, load-bearing hitch or tow components. Accessories, mounts, organizers, covers, pads and jigs are what we do well.

Can I buy the file instead?

For our own designs, yes: the Workshop sells STL downloads under a Creative Commons license for printing at home. For a part we model for you, you can have the file as well as the print; ask in the message.
