Custom-made 3D printing, in Hong Kong
A custom-made centre for 3D printing
Tell us what you want in a chat. We draw it, build the 3D model, and you approve both before you pay. Designed from nothing, or fitted to something you already own - if we have measured it.
- A drawing and a 3D model before you pay

Animals
The merry-go-round
Every animal we print takes a place on the ride - a dog sitting, a cat mid-stretch, a bird with its wings out. Yours joins them, in clear resin, at the size you ask for.
Aquarium
Under the water
Flowers, fish, shells and coral - the things that look best with the light coming straight through them. Clear resin is water: these are the pieces it was made for.
Bedroom
Things for a quiet room
A plaque with your line drawing engraved in it, a small lamp, the decoration on a shelf. Pieces that catch the last light of the evening and stay where you put them.
How a piece is made
From a photo to clear resin
-
You send a photo
Any clear photo of your pet, toy or keepsake, and a few words about what you want.
They typed
Make him running, realistic style.
-
The bot draws it
A picture of your idea to check first. Change it until it is right, or ask for more sides.
-
It becomes a 3D model
Turn it around on your phone and check the size, before you pay for anything.
-
Printed in clear resin
Cast in crystal-clear resin, washed, cured, checked and posted to you. This one is 80 mm tall.
Cooling-vest fan cases
The face of your fan, designed by you
The cover that clips onto a cooling-vest fan, with the pattern cut through it by you - the outer ring, the net, and what sits in the middle. Printed in ASA on the filament machine, and it fits because we measured the fan, not because a photo looked right.
148 HKD a pair - the vest has two fans. That is the print; the drawing is paid in credits, like every other route.
How this one is made
-
Say what the three zones should look like
The outer ring, the net in the middle of it, and what sits at the centre. A number from the menu, or your own words for any of them - both are read.
-
Approve the drawing
We draw your design flat and straight-on, the way it will be cut. Change it as often as you like - each drawing is paid for in credits, and the pair still costs the same to print.
-
Cut into the plate we measured
Your pattern is cut clean through our own plate, then checked before it prints: enough air to cool you, and webs thick enough to survive being clipped on and off.
-
Printed as a pair
A vest has two fans, so a pair is what you get - printed in ASA on the filament machine, in the colour you picked at the start.
Fans we have measured
A fitted part is only as good as the measurements behind it, so this list is short on purpose and grows one fan at a time.
- Cooling-vest fan, 108 mm round cover108 mm plate, four screws, 80 mm design circleOn sale
Your fan is not on the list? Send us a photo of it and the model name. Two people asking for the same fan is what gets it measured.
The workshop
Two kinds of machine, because parts are not all the same
What a piece is for decides how it is printed, and we say which before you pay for anything.
-
Resin, on LCD
Two Photon Mono M7 machines at 0.1 mm layers, up to 298 x 164 x 300 mm. Fine detail, and clear resin that light passes straight through.
-
Filament, on FDM
For parts that get handled, clipped on and off, or left in the sun. Tougher in the hand than resin, and the machine the fan cases are printed on.
-
Colour
Filament parts are printed in the colour you pick in the chat - the bot offers whatever is on the shelf. More than one colour in the same part is possible on our machine: ask, and we will quote it.
A part that has to fit something is only made from a host we have measured ourselves. We do not guess dimensions from a photograph.
Ordering
Four ways to start, and the words for each
There is no form and no cart. You send @Tm3d_bot a message on Telegram or WhatsApp, in English or Chinese, and it answers. Start from whichever of these fits - the bot asks you the rest.
What can be custom made
-
Designed from nothing
Describe it, or send a photo. We draw your idea, build the 3D model, and you approve both before you pay.
-
Fitted to something you own
A part that clips onto a thing you already have. We measure the host ourselves and you design its face - so only the hosts on our list can be fitted.
-
Your own 3D file
Send an STL and pay for the print only. No credits, nothing to draw.
-
Sized to your measurements
A shape worked out from numbers you give us. Not automatic yet - tell us what you need and we will quote it by hand.
-
Tell us in words
Describe it. No photo needed. We draw a picture for you to check, then build the 3D model.
You send:
A dragon curled around a crystal, fantasy style, 10 cm tall.
-
Send a photo, keep it the same
Your toy, your pet, your thing. We model it as it is.
Photo
Make this into a figurine, just as it is.
-
Send a photo and change it
A new pose, a cuter look, a keychain or a plaque. We draw the new version for you to check first.
Photo
Make this into a small figurine, sitting pose, cute cartoon style.
-
Send your own 3D file
Already have an STL? Send it - no credits needed, you only pay for the print. Under 20 MB.
File.stl
Here is my file. Please print it 9 cm tall.
-
Design a part for something you own
The fan case is the first of these: you design the face, and we cut it into the plate we measured ourselves. Nobody asks you for a size - the fan decides it.
Fan case
I would like a pair of fan cases - a spin-style net, and my initials in the middle.
What to type for the piece you want
-
A figurine from your photo
Send A clear photo of your pet, toy or object.
Then type:
Make this into a small figurine, sitting pose, cute cartoon style.
Say the one thing that matters most - a pose, a hat, a word to add.
-
A line-art clear plaque
Send Your photo, plus a picture of the look you like.
Then type:
Turn it into a flat square clear panel with thin line-art engraving, no base.
Flat pieces stay flat best if you pick 2 - draw more sides first.
-
A keychain
Send A photo of the thing you want to carry.
Then type:
Make it a keychain with a ring on top, about 5 cm tall.
Thin parts break easily on small pieces, so chunky shapes work best.
-
Something you imagine
Send No photo needed.
Then type:
A dragon curled around a crystal, fantasy style, 10 cm tall.
Say the style you want: realistic, cute, cartoon or simple.
We do not make famous characters, brand logos or famous people, and a model from a photo of a person shows their general look rather than an exact likeness. A part that has to fit something is only made from a host we have measured.
What happens after you press send
-
The bot draws a picture of your idea and shows it to you.
-
You pick what happens next: build the 3D model now, draw more sides first, change something, or drop the drawing and use your real photo.
-
You say how big it should be - "10 cm tall" - and how many you want.
-
The 3D model arrives and you turn it around on your phone. Nothing has been paid for a print yet.
-
You get one price, and delivery anywhere in Hong Kong is included in it - you just pick how it reaches you: SF locker, SF to your door, or Hongkong Post.
-
Only then does the payment request come: FPS, PayMe or card. We print it, check it, and send it out.
Start
Send the first message
A photo, a sentence, or the thing you want a part for. You will see a drawing and a 3D model before there is anything to pay for a print.
The bot answers straight away. A person checks every piece before it is printed.
