An indie maker team.
Shipping designs to 5,000+ makers.
Creative3DP is a small indie design studio. We build original 3D printable products in our workshop, fund them on Kickstarter, and ship the digital design packs to makers worldwide. That's the entire business.
The pinned promise
Every design we ship is one we built and tested ourselves first. Every order gets a real engineer at the other end of email. Every customer owns the IP for what they print. We don't ship hardware we wouldn't run in our own workshop.
Where it started
The first thing we ever designed was a filament dryer, because our PETG kept snapping mid-print. The second was a recycler, because we were throwing too much plastic away. We put both on Kickstarter not because we wanted to start a company, but because we wanted to see if anyone else was running into the same problems.
Turns out, a few thousand people were.
That feedback loop became the way Creative3DP works. We build something we need in our workshop, refine it through real customers, and ship the design pack with every wire diagram and BOM link documented. No black boxes. No hidden markup. The price you pay is roughly what the original Kickstarter backers paid, we're sharing the work, not charging a premium for it.
The campaigns.
Plus earlier campaigns for AeroDry 1.0, PETFusion 1.0, and LUMINARK 2.0. Every one funded. Every backer received their files. Every project gets indefinite support.
How we ship.
Every Creative3DP product is a digital design pack. No physical hardware is shipped. After checkout, you receive an email with the complete download:
STL files in print-ready format with sliced profiles for Bambu, Prusa, Creality, Ender, Voron. Wiring diagrams for every electrical connection. A bill of materials with direct AliExpress / Amazon buying links for every screw, board, and bracket. A start-to-finish assembly video. And a real engineer at info@creative3dp.com when you get stuck.
The build is yours. The IP for what you print is yours. Print one, print twenty (Personal Use) or print and sell (+Commercial License).
The two-tier model.
Every product comes in two license tiers:
Personal Use lets you print as many copies as you want for yourself, friends, family. You cannot sell physical builds of the design.
+Commercial License lets you print and sell physical builds at maker fairs, on Etsy, in your own shop. Multiple of our license holders have turned this into full side businesses.
Featured in the maker press.
Our work has been covered by:
We've never paid for placement. Every feature came from someone trying the design and writing about it because they liked it.
What we stand for.
Eat our own dog food
Every design runs in our workshop before it ships to you. We don't recommend a process we haven't run ourselves.
Open documentation
Every BOM has direct buying links. Every wire is color-matched. Every step has video proof. No black boxes.
Real human reply
Stuck on a build? Email us. A real engineer reads it, usually within 24 hours. No chatbots, no tickets.
No selling your data
We collect your email at purchase. We never sell it. We don't run ads on the site. We don't track you across the web.
Lifetime access
Files yours forever. Lifetime updates when we revise a design. Re-download anytime, free.
72-hour satisfaction
Not happy? Full refund within 72 hours if you haven't downloaded. Files mess up? We resend, free, anytime.
How we work day to day.
We're a small team, mostly engineers and designers who'd rather be building things than running a company. The workshop has more printers than people. Half the work happens between midnight and 4am when a part finally prints right. The other half is replying to maker emails from buyers in Frankfurt, São Paulo, Toronto, Sydney.
When we publish a new design, we tell the Maker Drop List (our once-a-month newsletter) and our Kickstarter community. No paid ads, no influencer drops, no growth hacks. The product community has done the rest.
Start with one design.
Four flagship products. Funded by 5,000+ makers. Yours forever, with lifetime updates and real engineer support.
