Our story

Small shop.
Big ideas.
Printed daily.

Nettie's 3D Prints specializes in adaptive accessories — AAC key guards, cuff utensil holders, straw holders, grips, and mounts — made for people who need tools that actually fit their lives. Everything is designed thoughtfully and printed carefully at home in Stratford, Connecticut, and shipped anywhere in the US and Puerto Rico. If you happen to be nearby, we can also fit and hand-deliver made-to-order items in person.

How it started

From a hobby to a craft.

What started as a weekend hobby quickly turned into something more. After printing a key guard for someone who needed it and watching it genuinely change how they used their device, it became clear that 3D printing wasn't just a technology — it was a way to solve real problems for real people.

Nettie's 3D Prints grew from that spark. Today the focus is on adaptive accessories — key guards, device stands, pencil grips, and custom mounts — tools that help people navigate their devices and daily lives more easily.

Every item is designed with the end user in mind, printed carefully, and sent out with the goal of landing somewhere it'll genuinely make a difference.

What we stand for

Our values.

♿

Accessibility is the whole point

Key guards, adaptive mounts, and functional grips aren't a side product — they're what this shop is built around. Everyone deserves tools that fit the way they work.

🌱

Print on demand

We don't overproduce. Every item is printed when ordered, which means less waste and fresher stock every time.

📏

No special tools required

You shouldn't need calipers to buy something that fits. Wherever you are, we size from your device model, a photo next to a quarter, or a free mailed sizing card — a plain ruler is the most we'll ever ask for. Close to Connecticut? We'll come measure in person instead.

🤝

Real human service

When you reach out, you're talking to Nettie — not a chatbot or a customer service queue. We keep it personal.

What we print with

Our materials.

PLA

Polylactic Acid

Our most-used material. Plant-based, rigid, and available in the widest range of colors. Great for toys, decorative pieces, and general-purpose prints.

Best for: Key Guards · Device Stands · Grips
PETG

Polyethylene Terephthalate

Stronger and more impact-resistant than PLA. Slightly flexible, food-safe grades available. Ideal for functional parts that need to hold up over time.

Best for: Functional Parts · Clips · Mounts (coming soon)
TPU

Thermoplastic Polyurethane

Our flexible filament. Rubber-like feel, excellent for items that need to bend, stretch, or absorb impact without breaking.

Best for: Flexible Grips · Mounts · Protective Cases (not yet in stock)
