3D/Laser printing and cutting service
3D printing has become a hobby of mine and brings my family much joy of what can be created with a roll of plastic, we use PLA and PETG. I'd like to share our fun hobby with our community. Whether it be a storage system for your workshop/tool chest like Gridfinity, printing wonderful characters and articulated animals for your grand children or a part for your coffee machine.
We are also able to create simple designs and parts too, so please get in touch and we can see if we can be of service. Or send me an STL file or link to the design you would like to print and colour preference.
We also have a cricut and a 1.5w laser printer printer for etching, engraving and cutting intricate patterns.
Private message only for now, depending on interest I will pop an email on here.
Rates are $10 commission fee, plus $5 per hour of printing/cutting and around $3-5 per 100g of filament used. For laser and cricut materials you may need to be provide these, but please get in touch.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
