Datum Labs · For repair shops
The part is discontinued. I'll make you a new one.
Reverse-engineered and 3D printed replacements for parts you can't buy anymore. Send a photo of the broken original, the old part number, or your own measurements — whatever you have.
Capability demo
Broken part in, printed part out.
A demonstration of the process end to end — a broken original, measured, modelled, and reprinted. This is a demo build, not a customer job; real shop work will replace it here as it comes in.

finished part
Demo build — measured and reprinted
A sample part carried from broken original to finished replacement, to show the process. Your part follows the same three steps.
How it works
Three steps, no account, no phone tag.
Send a photo
From your phone, right now. The broken part, a ruler next to it if you have one. That's enough to start.
I model it and quote
You get a fixed price and a ship date within 24 hours. No charge to look, no obligation.
Printed and shipped
Approved parts ship in 3–5 business days. If it doesn't fit, I revise the model and reprint it.
Optional · Tighter quotes
Want to measure it yourself?
A clear photo is all I need to start. But for the most exact quote, you can measure the part right in your browser with CamScan — a free tool I built, no install or account. Lay a coin or ruler in the shot for scale, mark the edges and holes, and send the annotated image with your photos.

What I make
Obsolete plastic, mostly.
If the original was injection-moulded plastic and the manufacturer stopped making it, it's probably in scope. I'll tell you straight when printing isn't the right answer rather than sell you a part that will fail — load-bearing metal, gas-wetted, and food-contact parts are the usual no.
Get a quote
Upload a photo of the part.
One screen, no login. I read every one myself and reply within one business day.
Got it — your photos are with me.
I'll reply with a fixed price and a ship date within one business day. If it's urgent, call or text and say you sent a part through the site.
Quote goes to the email you entered. Nothing else to do on your end.
Price & turnaround
What this usually costs.
Every part is quoted individually before you commit — the numbers below are what most jobs land at, not a rate card you're locked into.
Most land around $120. The modelling is the real work, so a second identical part is far cheaper than the first — say up front if you need a few.
Business days from your approval to shipped, with the quote back to you within 24 hours. Rush is sometimes possible — ask.
Your first part is on me if it's simple geometry — a clip, knob, spacer, bracket or cover. I'll tell you honestly when a part doesn't qualify before doing any work.
