A local workshop with a simple online process

  • Draft from £5.18: an economical PLA fit check before the final part.
  • Standard from £6.90: 0.20 mm quality with material and colour selected in the quote.
  • STEP priced directly: upload from CAD without making an STL first.
  • Mail-in only: Hark Tech does not operate a walk-in counter or collection point.

What the service is for

Hark Tech prints customer-supplied files for functional prototypes, replacement parts, brackets, enclosures, jigs and one-off components. Use the materials guide to compare options, then make the final selection in the instant quote.

If you do not yet have a printable file, CEEQ Design can create the CAD model. Hark Tech handles the printing once the model is ready.

Basingstoke 3D printing questions

Is there a 3D printing service in Basingstoke?

Yes. Hark Tech prints in its own workshop in Basingstoke, Hampshire, run by Grant Harkness. Orders are placed online: upload an STL, sliced 3MF or STEP file and the firm price appears in seconds, with no quote form. You can also call 07851 551829 (Monday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm).

Can I collect my print or drop off a part in Basingstoke?

No. The workshop is private and mail-in only, so there is no walk-in counter or collection point, including for local customers. Finished parts are posted by tracked delivery, from £2.95 and free on orders over £40.

How much does 3D printing cost in Basingstoke?

The same as anywhere in the UK. Standard PLA is 4.6p per gram of material plus £1.15 per hour of machine time, with a £4.60 minimum per part and a £6.90 minimum per order. Draft PLA fit checks start at £5.18 and there is no per-item handling fee. Every rate is on the pricing page.

How quickly will I get my part?

Most Standard orders are dispatched within 2 working days, 4 at the latest. Express guarantees 2-day dispatch even when the workshop is busy, and small in-stock parts on the rapid-prototyping lane paid before 1pm are dispatched the next working day.

What materials can you print?

PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, ASA, polycarbonate, nylon, and PETG-CF and PA-CF carbon fibre. Stocked colours are shown for each material in the quote, and the materials guide compares them.

I don't have a 3D file. Can you still help?

Hark Tech prints supplied files and does not do original CAD modelling. CEEQ Design can create the model, or you can choose a ready-to-print part from the model catalogue.

Do you print parts for Basingstoke businesses?

Yes. The instant quote prices 1 to 100 identical copies, with discounts from 5, and a free Trade Account saves the exact part for reordering and invoices. Larger runs are quoted through business printing.
