Print With Purpose

Practical, customizable 3D prints that solve real problems

Lunar Prototypes designs functional parts that fit your tools, space, and life. We focus on off grid, end of supply chain realities where ready made gear is scarce and reliability matters. Use what you have, print what you need, and keep things working.

How this started

Lunar Prototypes began with a simple idea. When you are far from easy replacements, the best tool is the one you can print today. I built this brand around a maker’s mindset. Identify the problem, design a fit that works, and iterate until it holds up in the real world. My background in engineering and networks taught me to value reliability. Family life taught me to value practicality. Both shape how I design and how I share.

Every part here started as a real fix. Something that needed to be stronger, cleaner, safer, or easier to use. The goal is not novelty. The goal is a custom fit that earns a permanent place in your daily setup.

How we work

  • 1.Start with a real problem. Field use cases drive the design, not the other way around.
  • 2.Model it parametric. Fusion 360 lets us dial in dimensions so parts fit your exact setup.
  • 3.Iterate fast. Print, test, adjust. Utility beats theory. If it fails, we learn and refine.
  • 4.Ship it customizable. You get the files and controls to adapt for your tools and space.

Why it matters

Not everyone has next day shipping or a parts bin in the closet. Off grid, on the road, in a lab, at a school, or at a workbench far from the store, the ability to print a reliable solution is real leverage. Design self reliance cuts downtime and keeps projects moving.

Sustainability lives in the choices we make. Print only what is needed. Reuse designs that adapt as requirements change. Favor durable geometry and materials that match the job. Functional 3D design reduces waste by preventing throwaway fixes. Good parts earn their keep by working hard and lasting longer.

This is why Lunar Prototypes exists. Practical, adaptable parts. Shared openly so you can fit them to your world.
