One printer, one plate, one person.

bits n builds is a home 3D-printing studio in a Chennai apartment. One Bambu Lab A1 mini, run by one person. When something in the house breaks and the part is discontinued, we measure it off a photo and print a replacement that takes the original screws.

The catalogue is the things we print often enough to quote from memory. Every one lists the real weight, the real print time and the real price — material, machine hours and the time spent modelling it, priced separately so you can see where the money goes. Nothing is marked up for a showroom that doesn't exist.

Your part probably isn't in the catalogue. That's normal. Send a photo on WhatsApp with a coin beside it for scale and you get a fixed price and a ready-by time, usually the next evening. If we can't print it well, we say so instead of taking the job.

Pickup is from the apartment complex, or Porter and Rapido reach anywhere in Chennai. Payment is UPI on approval, and repeat orders skip the advance.
