Recreate broken plastic parts with AI
A snapped battery cover, a broken shelf pin, a cracked dishwasher clip — often the spare part is unavailable or costs more than a new appliance. With FitPrint you photograph the broken part, describe what it does, measure what it asks for and print a replacement, usually in under an hour of total work.
- Input
- Photo + description + a few caliper measurements
- Typical parts
- Clips, covers, pins, brackets, hinges, knobs, feet
- Tip
- Measure the mating part, not the broken piece
The replacement-part workflow
- 01Take a photo of the broken part next to a ruler or a credit card for scale.
- 02Describe what it attaches to and what it has to do.
- 03Measure the fit-critical features with calipers (FitPrint tells you which).
- 04Print, test-fit, and if needed tell FitPrint “0.2 mm too tight” to adjust.

Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to print replacement parts?
Repairing your own devices is generally fine. Don't copy and sell someone else's protected design.
What if the original is completely broken?
Measure the part it connects to (the hole, the shaft, the slot) — that's what the replacement has to fit anyway.
