About me

PrintCrafter3DTech

 

Your source for unique 3D prints—from intricate video game characters to custom-made technical components.

My passion for 3D printing began before 2024, but this year marks the decisive step towards founding the company.
 
As a qualified metalworker specialising in design engineering, I bring with me experience in technical drawing and the design of complex parts made from various materials.
​
With over ten years’ experience in CAD/CAM programming and machining, my passion for precision and material processing on the CNC milling machine has evolved into an enthusiasm for 3D printing. I focus not only on bespoke designs and unique works of art, but also on creating technical components that meet the individual needs of our customers.
​
​
How it all began...
​​
It all started with the need to transform a bare light bulb hanging from the ceiling of our new flat into a more attractive light fixture. My partner and I didn’t find the standard models on the market appealing or felt they were overpriced. By chance, we came across 3D models that were also suitable as lamps. As fans of space documentaries, we opted for the celestial body we knew best – the moon.
​
When the 3D-printed moon lamp generated excitement and enquiries from friends and family, I reactivated my long-dormant Etsy account, took a few product photos and uploaded them. The rest is history.

​

When, after a few months, our basement room (a mere 11 square metres) was completely crammed with 3D printers, the living areas were overflowing with packaging materials and 3D printing accessories, and the volume of orders showed no sign of abating, it quickly became clear that we needed to expand. 
After months of renovation work, we moved to the Osnabrück countryside in May 2025 and were given the chance to spread out in a farmhouse that is almost 200 years old. 
​
I started with one room. Now there are two, including an entrance hall.
 
Amidst all the renovation work, the bureaucracy and product development, one thing remains certain: without the support of my partner, friends and family, I would never have come this far in such a short time!
​
My vision is to remain at the forefront of 3D printing technology and to set new standards in the industry.
