You know that feeling when something breaks around your house? A cabinet clip that holds your door closed, a washing machine knob, or that phone stand that held your device at the perfect angle on your desk.
You search online for hours trying to find a replacement. You find something close, but it’s never quite right. Almost the right size, but not exactly. The color’s wrong. The angle doesn’t work. And you think, “There has to be a better way.”
That’s where 3D printing changes everything.
Our Story: From Hobby to Helping People
At V & L Prints, we love helping people solve everyday frustrations. Whether you need to organize your workspace or replace a part nobody makes anymore, we turn your idea into reality, layer by layer, right here in Utah County.
We started as a family business with one simple goal: to help bring your ideas to life, no matter how big or small. What began as a hobby has turned into something bigger. Now we help homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and small business owners solve real problems every day.
We’re not a huge factory or corporation. We’re a local family that genuinely cares about making things that help you. When you work with us, you’re not just another order number—you’re a neighbor with a problem we want to solve. Learn more about our story here.
What 3D Printing Can Really Do
When most people hear “3D printing,” they picture little toys or desk decorations. And sure, we can make those. But 3D printing can do so much more.
Think about it this way: custom 3D printing is like having a factory that makes one thing—the exact part you need. Nothing more, nothing less.
Want an organizer designed for your exact drawer size? We’ve got you covered.
Looking for a replacement part for something they stopped making ten years ago? That’s one of our specialties.
The really cool thing about 3D printing is that we don’t need a warehouse full of parts collecting dust. Everything we make starts with your specific problem and unique situation. We design it on the computer first, which means we can adjust details before we start printing.
We can change the size, angle, wall thickness, even the texture. If something needs to be a quarter inch wider, we change it in the design. If you want it smoother or need more grip, we adjust that too.
Whether you’re running a small business and want your workspace to work better, or you’re a homeowner trying to fix something that seems impossible to replace, custom 3D printing gives you complete control. You say exactly what you need, and we make it happen.
Beyond Store-Bought: The Power of Customization
Here’s the truth: sometimes you buy something from a big store, and it’s fine, but it doesn’t quite fit right. It’s made to work okay for most people, but it’s not perfect for your specific situation.
That’s the biggest difference with custom 3D printing. We’re not making something that works “okay” for a million people. We’re making something that works for you.
We use different materials depending on what you need. For everyday items, we use PLA+—it’s strong, reliable, and works great for most projects. If you need something extra durable, we use PETG.
But the real advantage isn’t just about using strong materials. It’s about customization.
Every project starts with a conversation. We want to understand your problem:
- What broke, and why did it break?
- What are you trying to keep organized?
- What parts need to fit together, and how?
- How do you actually use this thing in real life?
Because everything happens on the computer first, we can change absolutely anything. The height, thickness, curves, even the color. You’re not walking into a store and choosing from what’s on the shelf. You’re helping design something made specifically for your life.
How We Approach Every Project
We look at every project the same way: we see a problem, and we design a fix.
We believe the best solutions come from creative thinking. Sometimes that means designing something completely new that’s never existed before. Other times, it means taking something that already exists and making it better, stronger, or more useful.
Our favorite customers are the ones who say, “I’ve looked everywhere, and I can’t find anything that works.” That’s when we get excited. That’s our kind of challenge.
Sometimes people send us photos and measurements. Other times, they bring us the broken part so we can measure it ourselves and see exactly what went wrong. We take all that information and bring it into Fusion 360, our design software. That’s where we build a digital version of your part, test it virtually, make it better, and get it ready to print.
Then we send you pictures of what we’ve designed so you can see it and approve it before we make anything. We want to make sure it’s exactly what you need.
Watching a “what if” idea turn into something real and functional never gets old.
Our Simple Process
We keep things as simple and clear as possible. You don’t need to know anything about design or 3D printing. You just need a problem you want solved.
Step 1: Share Your Idea
Send us photos or a quick sketch. If you have the actual item that needs replacing, even better. The more we can see and understand, the better we can design your solution. Don’t worry about having perfect pictures or professional drawings—we just need to understand what you need.
Step 2: We Design and Test
We take your idea and build it in our design software. We make sure it’s going to work, that it’ll print correctly, and that it’ll be strong enough for what you need. This is where we fine-tune everything—the fit, the angles, the strength.
Step 3: You Give Us the Green Light
We send you pictures of the digital design. You can see what it’ll look like, check that the sizes are right, and make sure it’s exactly what you wanted. If you want any changes, we make them. Once you’re happy, we move forward.
Step 4: We Print and Deliver
We print your design, clean it up, and check the quality to make sure it’s perfect. Then you can either pick it up or we’ll deliver it to you. Every part we make is done with care and attention to detail.
The whole process is straightforward. No confusing steps, no surprises, no guessing. Just good communication and creative problem-solving from start to finish.
Why Custom Beats Store-Bought
Products from big stores are designed to work okay for most people. But you’re not “most people,” are you?
Your tools, your workspace, your home, your projects—they’re all unique to you. Sometimes you need something just a little different from what everyone else needs.
That’s what makes custom 3D printing so powerful. Here’s what you get:
A Great Fit: We design it to your measurements and needs.
Better Quality: We use materials that are stronger and last longer than typical plastic parts you’d buy at a store.
Your Style: Want it in a specific color? Need your logo on it? Want it to match your other tools? We can do that.
And because we’re a family-owned business right here in Utah County, you’re not just buying a product. You’re supporting local makers who genuinely care about helping you succeed.
Creative Thinking Changes Everything
The coolest thing about 3D printing is that there really aren’t limits to what we can create. If you can imagine it, we can probably make it.
Every great design starts with a simple question: “Can this be done better?”
That one question drives everything we do. Whether we’re fixing something, improving something, or completely reimagining something you use every day, it all starts there.
At V & L Prints, we don’t just print plastic parts. We print possibilities, solutions, and ideas that make your life easier.
We love working with people who think outside the box. Small business owners who want their workspace to run smoother. DIY enthusiasts who have a clever idea but need help making it real. Anyone with a problem worth solving.
Every project has one thing in common: someone had a challenge they needed help with. And together, we make sure the solution isn’t just a fix—it’s an upgrade. It’s something better than what was there before.
Let’s Make Your Idea Real
At the end of the day, 3D printing isn’t about machines or plastic or technology. It’s about taking ideas and making them real.
We’ve seen how a simple custom design can make everyday life easier, more organized, and more enjoyable. Whether it’s your salon station, your garage, your workshop, or your home, we’re here to help you bring your creative ideas to life.
One layer at a time. One problem at a time. One solution at a time.
