Where I print for

Serving Basingstoke, Winchester, Andover, Alton, Farnborough, Aldershot, Eastleigh, Southampton, Portsmouth, Fareham, Petersfield, Havant, Romsey, Lymington and the villages in between. Royal Mail and Parcelforce both collect from the workshop daily, so a part dispatched on a Tuesday is with a Hampshire customer by Wednesday morning in most cases.

Why an independent local workshop

There’s no dedicated “Hampshire 3D printing” directory and most of what you’d find on a Google Maps search is either a print-on-demand stall in a makerspace or a farm-out desk inside a reprographics shop. Hark Tech is neither. It’s a real workshop with two engineering-grade printers (Creality K2 and Bambu Lab A1 + AMS), run by one person who does every print personally and stands behind it.

What I print

Custom brackets, enclosures, replacement parts, engineering prototypes, display pieces, miniatures, and one-off fittings for furniture, vehicles or workshop tools. The full scope and example work lives on the main 3D printing page and in the workshop gallery. If it’s not listed there, email a description — most things are doable.

Printing problems worth reading first

Before you commit to any workshop — ours or anyone else’s — these articles cover the most common 3D printing failures and the questions worth asking a printer before sending a file:

Send me the file

Email [email protected] with the STL (OBJ and 3MF also fine), a one-line description of what it’s for, and any tolerance or finish requirements. You’ll get a price the same day.
