Print It Before You Pitch It
A $300 machine can become useless because one tiny plastic part snapped. FixForge measures the failure, builds the replacement, and proves whether a 3D print can bring it back.
One missing part. One stalled machine.
A tested print. A useful object again.

The FixForge standard
Every repair starts with the failed object—not a generic shape that only looks close on screen.
If the first print fails, the redesign belongs in the story right beside the final working test.
Episode blueprint
The printable model is the payoff. The episode is the proof: diagnosis, rapid CAD, installation, and the test that decides whether the machine gets another life.
The broken piece, mating surfaces, and the whole machine get inspected before anything goes into CAD.
Fit, force, layer direction, and the original part’s weak points shape every revision.
A file only earns a place in the library after it survives the moment that matters.
Model library
Every available model stays connected to the rescue that made it useful: print setup, fit notes, and a clear account of what worked.
Need a part that doesn't exist?
Send photos, the model number, any measurements, and the failed piece's story. FixForge will review the evidence before quoting custom design or asking for a mail-in.
