Services
CAD comes first. Most jobs start with a drawing, a sketch, or a worn-out part, and end with a model you can edit and a file a shop or printer can use. Printing is there when you need a physical part too.
Onshape modeling from drawings and sketches
I model parts from 2D prints, PDFs, hand sketches, and photos with dimensions. Models are built around datums and design intent, so changing a dimension doesn't break the part.
- Delivered: Onshape document (shared link), STEP, and an assumptions log
- Metric or inch, worked in the print's own units
- Limit dimensions and fits modeled where they belong (I'll tell you if I modeled at mid-limit or nominal)
- Tapped holes, counterbores, chamfers and edge breaks from general notes, not just the ones with leaders
2D drawings and production prints
Drawings made to be read at the machine or the brake press.
- Orthographic views, sections, details, and isometric views
- Dimensions, tolerances, ISO fits (H7/g6 and so on), surface finish, and GD&T feature control frames
- Title block, revision, general notes, and a BOM for assemblies
- PDF plus the native Onshape drawing
Sheet metal
Parts modeled folded, the way they're made, with real bend settings.
- Thickness, bend radius, K-factor, and bend relief set to your shop's values (or stated if you don't have them)
- Flanges, partial flanges, hems, corner breaks
- Flat pattern with overall size, plus DXF for laser or punch work
Assemblies
Multi-part assemblies with mates that move the way the real thing moves.
- Mates and limits (revolute, slider, fastened)
- Standard hardware placed from Onshape's standard content library (ISO and DIN screws, dowels, washers, retaining rings)
- Fit checks between mating parts, and a callout if the print's tolerances don't give the fit the notes ask for
- Assembly drawing with balloons and BOM; renders on request
Design for 3D printing (DFM)
Taking a part meant for machining or molding and making it printable, or making a printed part stronger.
- Print orientation for the load direction (printed parts are weakest between layers)
- Wall, infill, and hole compensation; threaded inserts and nut traps
- Material recommendation for heat, UV, chemicals, and loads
- Print-ready STL or 3MF
3D printed functional parts
Printed on an enclosed, heated-chamber Creality K2 Plus with a Micro Swiss FlowTech hotend and hardened steel CHT nozzles. See Materials & 3D Printing for the full list.
- Prototype and functional options (annealed end-use parts: Coming soon)
- Critical dimensions measured and reported before shipping
- Up to 350 × 350 × 350 mm in one piece
Firearm & weapon accessories
Grips, stocks, handguards, mounts, holsters, and other non-regulated parts, modeled or printed.
- I don't model or make frames, receivers, suppressor parts, or other regulated (NFA) items
What you'll get with every job
- An assumptions log: everything the print didn't say and what I chose
- Files named and revisioned so you can tell versions apart
- A straight answer if your part isn't a good fit for printing
Turnaround
Business days, from approved scope
- Quote replies: within 24 hours
- Simple part from a clean drawing: 2–3 business days
- Multi-part assembly or full drawing package: 5–7 business days
- Printed parts: add 3–5 days for printing and shipping

- The clock pauses while I'm waiting on answers from you
Pricing
Every job gets a fixed quote after I see the drawing or model. Typical starting points:
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Simple part, modeled from your drawing, delivered with STEP | about $40–60 |
| Part plus a 2D production drawing | about $75–120 |
| Small assembly (up to 5 parts, standard hardware, assembly drawing) | about $200–350 |
| Open-ended or hourly work | $35/hr |
| Extra revision round (2 included) | $35 |
Printed parts are quoted separately by size, material, and print time. Shipping is extra (actual postage).
