HOT-END CREATIONS
(once known as JST Printed Parts)
HOT-END CREATIONS (once known as JST Printed Parts) is an very small, Irish, family-run buiness ran moslty by me!
Hey! Im Jesse, I'm 18 years old and just love 3D Printing. You may have met me in person at our stall, selling our 3D Printed products that are all printed in the comfort of our own home.
Yep! Thats right! Irish made Toys and Keychains!
Our Story
Our stall may have looked something similar to the pictures shown bellow.
I got into 3D Printing when I was about 16 when my older brother got a 3D Printer. After some time my brother left home for college and decided to leave his printer at home. Eventually, I started to mess with it, and got more interested. I then bought myself a better version which required less calibration. This made it so much easier that I was constantly printing.
My first sale was creating a part for a toilet for my neighbour that broke a part within their toilet. To buy this part normally you would need to buy a full kit of parts which is very unnecessary. I then recreated the original part but stronger than the original so it wouldn't break again. It took a few attempts but eventually it worked! and they decided to pay me for my work, which is when I thought about trying to create a little business with 3D Printing.
Our Products
Our products are all made within our own home using 3D Printers, nothing we sell is bought from China or mass produced. We hand finish and check each product, even manually adding parts like keyrings to each and every keychain we sell.
We try our best to make each product as strong as possible, to make sure the item lasts and it safe for kids to use.
As for our 3D models that we print, I create some designs myself but mostly I source the 3D models from 3D artists in which their logo can be seen in each products images. This helps promote and support them to keep creating. I subscribe to the artists via a subscription which the artist have available to anyone, which allows me to get access to their models and a commercial license. I like to do thing right! and not sell models that I haven't been given permission to sell.
