How it works

Idea on Monday.
In your hands this week.

A sketch, a photo or a few sentences on WhatsApp or the form. We reply within 4 working hours with questions, ideas and a price.

We build the 3D model around the sizes that matter and send you a preview to approve.

03

Printed layer by layer

Your prototype is printed in PLA, PETG or TPU. Hold it, test it, tell us what to change.

Why Seven Hills

Not a print farm.
A product lab.

01

No 3D file needed

Most print services want a finished file. We start from your sketch, photo or idea.

02

Talk to the maker

One person designs and prints your job, start to finish. No call centre.

03

Test before you commit

Prototype versions and free shop mock-ups mean no expensive surprises.

04

Your idea stays yours

Files kept private, never shared, and we're happy to sign an NDA.

Questions

Before you ask.

I only have an idea. Can you still help?

Yes, that's most of our work. Send a sketch, a photo of something similar, or describe what it should do. We'll ask a few questions and send a design and price.

How long does it take?

Most jobs take 3–5 working days after you approve the design, plus 2–3 days for tracked post. Rush jobs in under 48 hours are +30%.

Do you deliver across the UK?

Yes. Royal Mail Tracked 48 for £4.95, free on orders over £50. Collection in Sheffield is free.

Who owns the design?

You do. We keep a copy only so you can reorder, never share your files, and will sign an NDA if you need one.

What materials do you use?

PLA for models, prototypes and displays; PETG for tougher parts, clips and holders; TPU for flexible grips and bumpers.

What won't you print?

Weapons or weapon parts, copies of other brands' products or characters, food-contact items, children's toys and safety-critical parts.

Do you invoice businesses, schools and universities?

Yes. We send invoices and accept purchase orders. Ask about batch pricing.

What do you

We only use your details to reply to this request. Your files stay private.
