Our Machines

The two 3D printers and the laser engraver that make everything in our shop.

Three machines do all the work here. Two build things up out of molten plastic; one takes material away with light. Between them they cover most of what people ask us for.

We have listed the real numbers below, because they answer the question customers actually have: will you make the thing I want, at the size I want it?

The printers

Creality K2 Plus

Large format · multi-color · enclosed

Our biggest printer, and the one that takes on lamps, vases and anything tall. It is fully enclosed with an actively heated chamber, which matters more than it sounds: a stable, warm chamber stops tall prints from warping or splitting partway up.

It also runs the Creality Filament System, so it can change color mid-print rather than making you settle for one.

Build volume
350 × 350 × 350 mm
Typical speed
300 mm/s (up to 600 mm/s)
Chamber
Enclosed, actively heated to 60 °C
Color
Multi-color via CFS
Best for
Lampshades, vases, sculpture, anything over 250 mm

Creality Hi

Everyday workhorse

The machine that quietly gets through most orders. Smaller than the K2 Plus but quick, consistent, and perfectly happy running keychains, hooks, desk pieces and flexi-toys back to back.

It handles layer heights from 0.1 mm up to 0.35 mm, which is the range we work across when a model needs finer detail in some places than others.

Build volume
260 × 260 × 300 mm
Typical speed
300 mm/s (up to 500 mm/s)
Layer range
0.1 – 0.35 mm
Color
Multi-color via CFS
Best for
Keychains, hooks, figurines, fidgets, small runs

The laser

Creality Falcon A1 Pro

20 W diode laser · enclosed

This is the machine behind our engraving work. Where a printer adds material, the laser removes it — burning or cutting a design into a surface with a beam a fraction of a millimeter across.

It is fully enclosed and Class 1 rated, with air assist, automatic focus and flame detection. That is not marketing detail: an enclosed laser with active safety monitoring is the difference between a machine you can responsibly run in a workshop and one you cannot.

What this means for your order

A few practical consequences worth knowing before you ask us for something:

  • Maximum print size is 350 mm in any direction. If your idea is bigger than that, it can often be split and joined — ask us and we will tell you whether it will look right.
  • Multi-color is possible, but it is not free. Color changes cost time and waste some filament in the purge, so a multi-color piece prices higher than the same shape in one color.
  • Engraving area is 358 × 268 mm. Larger pieces can sometimes be engraved in sections, depending on the object.
  • Not every material takes a laser. Some plastics give off nasty fumes and some simply will not mark. Tell us what your piece is made of and we will give you a straight answer rather than a guess.

Thinking of buying a printer yourself? We wrote up what we actually use and what we would tell a beginner — machines, filament and the tools worth having on day one.

If you are wondering whether something is possible, the fastest route is just to ask us. We would rather tell you no early than take an order we cannot do well.
