Molten Prints
Custom services
If you have a file, we can print it. If you have an idea, we can draw it. We take on small design and print jobs for people and businesses across the UK, from one-off parts to short runs, on the same machines that make everything else in the shop.
What we do
Three kinds of job
Print your file
Send an STL, 3MF or STEP file. We check it will print, suggest a material, and quote by material and machine time.
Design from a brief
A sketch, a photo or a written description is enough to start. We draw a printable model and send it to you to approve before anything is made.
Short runs
Repeat parts in tens rather than thousands, with the same profile every time. Useful for replacement parts, fixtures and small product lines.
The machines
Bambu Lab printers, tuned and looked after
The print farm runs Bambu Lab P1S, X1C and A1 machines, each calibrated for the material it is printing. PLA is the standard, with PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, nylon and carbon-fibre blends available on request.
For cutting and engraving there is a 20 watt laser that handles birch plywood and MDF, which is how the name signs and keyrings are made.
How it works
Questions people ask
What should I send?
A file if you have one: STL, 3MF or STEP. If not, a sketch or photo with rough sizes and what the part needs to do. Use the contact form and we will come back to you.
How does the quote work?
We reply within a working day or two with a price, a material recommendation and a lead time. Nothing is printed until you have agreed both.
Which material should I choose?
PLA for most decorative and indoor parts. PETG or ASA for parts that live outside or get warm. TPU for anything that needs to flex. If you are not sure, tell us what the part does and we will suggest one.
Do you post custom work?
Yes. Custom jobs go out with tracked UK delivery like everything else in the shop.
Send us the file
Or the sketch, or the idea. We will tell you what it would take.
