Typewriter Parts by Request

Got a broken or missing part on your typewriter? Couldn't find it anywhere due to machine's old age and parts being discontinued? Fret not. We are here to help.

We can CAD up the 3D models and 3D print for you if you can supply us the broken parts, or diagrams with dimensions. If you would like to keep the 3D files exclusively to yourself, then standard design fee applies at $120 + GST per hour, plus 3D printing charges for the parts.

If you just want to buy the 3D printed parts without owning the 3D files, we can do that as well. The 3D files will be owned by Idea Beans and we will be able to print more of them for other typewriter users locally in NZ. Alternatively we will upload the 3D files to our Shapeways store for more typewriter collectors worldwide.

Here's a preview to our current Shapeways store - [Typewriter Parts by Request]. It'll be our ongoing project to add more parts for typewriters as we go, so send us an email or give us a call if you are looking for that one particular typewriter part that no one else stock!! :)
