Replacement parts
Small clips, brackets, covers, spacers, and pieces that are easy to lose, break, or discontinue.
Small-batch 3D printed utility parts
Useful little parts, printed cleanly.
Widget Print Shop is a small Vermont-based print shop focused on practical parts: clips, mounts, brackets, organizers, adapters, and replacement pieces that solve small annoying problems.
Current shop status
The shop is being built out now. First products are coming soon while the workflow, tooling, and product ideas are tested in real time.

What this is for
Small parts that make everyday systems work better.
Mounts and holders
Simple ways to hold tools, cables, devices, labels, accessories, and workshop items where they belong.
Shop-tested utility prints
Practical objects first tested in the shop before they become repeatable products.
Operating loop
Small, tight, clean loops — that scale.
The shop is built around a simple process: find a useful problem, print a prototype, test it, refine it, list it, ship it, and improve the system.
- Identify a useful product
- Print a prototype
- Test fit and strength
- Photograph and create the listing
- Print, clean, package, and ship
- Improve the process and repeat
First machine
The “hello world” moment.
The shop’s first successful calibration and test print on its first production machine. A small benchmark boat called a Benchy — basically the universal “hello world” of 3D printing.
Built by Patrick Waite
A small workshop, built one loop at a time.
I started Widget Print Shop to explore small-scale manufacturing, practical design, and system-driven production using modern desktop 3D printing.
The goal is not flashy products. It is useful parts, clean prints, careful packaging, and a process that gets better every time it runs.
