We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Good to know before you order

Need a few parts? Add them to one cart. One order minimum and one postage charge cover the cart: £6.90 for standard materials, £11.50 with TPU, £46 with ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon or PETG-CF, or £69 with PA-CF.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

A compact lathe designed to be printed entirely in plastic, intended for light machining of soft materials on the hobbyist bench. Mini lathes of this type are used for turning and shaping small workpieces. The design is suited to makers who want to build their own machine tools from printed parts. PETG suits this build well, as its improved toughness compared to PLA helps moving parts withstand the repetitive loads involved in hobby turning.

Original maker's notes

I'm doing a little lathe for plastics. This is a work in progress and I will publish files and images when it is completed.

Hey! This thing is still a Work in Progress. Files, instructions, and other stuff might change!

I'll add when I print out the newer versions. Observe what is going on. Be patient!

Printing Mini 3D printed Lathe

For Mini 3D printed Lathe we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
