Our Story
Why I Built PrintIt4Me
Hi, I'm Anthony, the founder of PrintIt4Me.
I didn't set out to build another online marketplace.
I built PrintIt4Me because I watched my nephew discover a passion for designing and 3D printing.
Like so many young Australians, he spent countless hours learning new skills, designing products and creating amazing things.
The challenge wasn't making great products.
It was finding customers.
There wasn't a dedicated Australian marketplace built specifically for people like him.
Most options meant competing on massive overseas marketplaces, relying on social media, or hoping someone happened to discover their work.
That didn't seem right.
If someone has invested in learning a skill, purchasing equipment and creating something valuable, they should have the opportunity to earn from it.
So I decided to build PrintIt4Me.
What started as an idea to help one young maker quickly became something much bigger.
Australia is full of talented people.
- Students learning design.
- Parents running businesses from home.
- Retirees with decades of engineering experience.
- Tradies solving everyday problems.
- Designers creating incredible products.
- Small manufacturers with spare production capacity.
- People in regional Australia with skills the rest of the country never gets to see.
Thousands of Australians already own the equipment.
What many don't have is a simple way to connect with customers.
That's why PrintIt4Me exists.
Not simply to sell 3D printed products — but to create opportunities for Australians to build businesses, earn additional income, solve real-world problems and strengthen local manufacturing.
More Than A Marketplace
PrintIt4Me connects Australians with Australians.
Customers describe what they need, upload a design or a photo, and local makers submit competitive quotes.
Customers choose the maker that's right for them, communicate securely through the platform, and payment is held safely until the completed job has been delivered.
Whether it's a broken farm machinery component, a classic car part, a prototype, a short production run or something completely unique — PrintIt4Me makes custom manufacturing simple, accessible and local.

- Keep more manufacturing and innovation here in Australia.
- Help small businesses bring ideas to life without huge upfront costs.
- Support regional communities by connecting local talent with customers everywhere.
- Encourage repair before replacement wherever practical.
- Build a community where makers learn, collaborate and grow together.
- Be honest about what 3D printing can — and can't — do.
Imagine An Australia Where…
- Every broken part can be manufactured locally.
- Every student with a 3D printer can earn their first dollar.
- Every inventor can prototype without spending thousands on tooling.
- Every regional workshop can reach customers anywhere in Australia.
- Every talented maker has the same opportunity as a large manufacturer.
That's the future we're working towards.
Supporting Local Communities
Great ideas aren't limited to capital cities.
Innovation doesn't only happen inside large companies.
Some of Australia's most talented people live in regional towns, work from home, or build incredible things after hours in their sheds and workshops.
PrintIt4Me exists to help create opportunities for those people.
Because when local people support local makers, everyone benefits.
Sustainability Matters
Every replacement part that keeps a product out of landfill matters.
Every locally manufactured item that replaces an imported one reduces unnecessary transport.
Every repaired product that gets a second life is a small win.
Sustainability isn't the reason PrintIt4Me exists, but helping people repair, customise and manufacture locally also helps reduce waste.
How PrintIt4Me Makes Money
We keep it simple.
PrintIt4Me charges a 10% commission on completed sales.
- No listing fees.

- No fees for quotes you don't win.
- Standard Stripe payment processing fees apply separately.
When our makers succeed, we succeed.
Proudly Australian
PrintIt4Me was founded in Inverell, New South Wales, with a simple goal: help one young maker find customers.
Today, that same goal has grown into a mission to support thousands of Australian makers, designers, inventors and small manufacturers.
We're proud to be building Australia's home for custom manufacturing.
"We're only just getting started, but every new maker who joins strengthens Australia's growing manufacturing community."
