Modified 3D printers,
ready to print.

Available Printers

Every printer has been inspected, repaired where needed, modified, and test-printed before it ships. What you see is what you get.

My Story

Hey there! Let me help you get into 3D printing without the headache.

I buy used 3D printers, fix them up, make them better, and sell them for way less than retail — usually under $200 CAD. Think of it as your easy, affordable way to see what this whole 3D printing thing is all about.

I'm a retired mechanical engineer who spent decades working in IT and electronics. So yeah, I'm a bit of a nerd. For me, 3D printing is the perfect mix of all my skills. I love using CAD software to design things and then watching them come to life.

I started this little hobby business because I want to share that knowledge. I remember when computers were weird and scary, and I saw how they changed everything. I think 3D printing is on the same path, and I'd love to help you get on board early.

Why the Ender 3?

Let's be real — the Ender 3 isn't perfect out of the box. It has quirks, known issues, and a learning curve that involves a lot of YouTube tutorials and maybe a few bad words. But that's exactly why it's the perfect printer to start with, and the perfect printer for me to modify.

It's the Honda Civic of 3D printers

The Ender 3 is everywhere. It's been one of the best-selling 3D printers for years. The aluminum frame is rigid, the design is open-source, and because people are always upgrading or giving up on them, there's a constant supply of used machines available at great prices. That's what keeps my resale prices under $200 CAD.

Parts are never a problem

One of the biggest fears for beginners is: "what if something breaks?" With an Ender 3, that's simply not a concern. Nozzles, belts, wheels, hotends, boards — everything is cheap and available on Amazon or AliExpress. You're never stuck waiting for some obscure proprietary part.

The community is massive

Millions of Ender 3s have been sold, which means millions of people have already figured out the quirks, documented the fixes, and made videos about everything. Whatever issue you run into, someone's already solved it and posted about it. That kind of community support is genuinely priceless when you're starting out.

Upgrade to Klipper and go wireless

Here's where things get really fun. The Ender 3 is an excellent candidate for Klipper — firmware that offloads the heavy lifting to a Raspberry Pi. Add a touch probe for automatic bed leveling and suddenly you have a wireless, network-connected printer with a modern interface, remote monitoring, and advanced features like input shaping for faster, cleaner prints. It's a massive leap in capability, and I can set it up for you if you're interested.

What I actually do to each printer

I don't just wipe things down and relist them. Every machine I sell goes through the same process before it leaves my hands.

Source and inspect

I find used Ender 3s from people who are upgrading or giving up on the hobby. Before I commit to a machine, I inspect it to make sure it's worth bringing back to life.

Repair

Anything worn out gets replaced — nozzles, PTFE tubing, belts, eccentric nuts, wheels. I fix what's actually broken, not just what's visible on the surface.

Modify

Upgrades go in based on what the machine needs and what the build calls for. This might mean a better extruder, a BLTouch probe, Klipper firmware, or all of the above. Each printer gets what it actually needs, not a blanket set of mods for the sake of it.

Calibrate

Bed leveled, flow rate dialed in, first layer tuned. The settings aren't guessed — they're verified through actual printing.

Test print

Every single machine prints a test before it ships. If it doesn't pass, it doesn't go out. Simple as that.
