Meet the Owner
I’ve been passionate about tinkering, electronics, and computers since I was young. In 2016, I discovered 3D printing, and it quickly became more than just a hobby—it became my mission.
With over a decade of IT experience in support, project management, and systems administration, along with earning my Eagle Scout rank in 2007, I founded TH3D Studio to make 3D printing easier and more accessible. My goal is to help makers spend less time troubleshooting and more time printing.
Happy Printing!

Things that are Important to Us
Our Dedicated, US Based Team
TH3D is based out of Hobart, IN. All of our team members are in the US, we do not outsource any of our positions to people outside the US.
We run a hybrid of onsite and remote employees to maximize efficiency and coverage of our customers that are all over the world. We have a dedicated team of people who only handle customer service and technical support requests.
Honest Reviews
Unlike other people in the 3D printing space who rely on making sales through affiliate programs, we do not. We will always be honest when reviewing a 3D printer even if there are issues.
Many channels (especially ones that work with Bambu Labs) are bound by agreements where they cannot be honest with you on negative aspects of products.
Focus on Quality and Service
Our focus is to get our customers the best products at fair prices. We’re all makers here, and we know how frustrating getting cheap parts from China is and not getting what you wanted the first time.
Everything we carry are parts and products that we use on our in-house machines to make our lives easier. There is enough to worry about in this hobby/industry so let us help simplify your 3D printing life by ensuring you get quality parts and excellent support.
When we design products, we take the time to run them through stress testing and analysis to make sure they work and last. Unlike many vendors in the 3D printing market, we do not use our customers to test our products, we sell products that work and are free of major design flaws.

I picked up a few of these as I have several 3D printers, two at work and one at home. Thermal runaway is something that always concerned me and this adds a strong layer of protection in this respect.
I run Octoprint on all three machines and the Tasmoto plugin is as the TH3D folks say, a seamless integration.
Setup was a breeze after watching the video in the support section.

This plug is where it's at. Safety first and then a plethora of functions/features to tinker with a link your printer up with your smart home, get notifications of power events, monitor power consumption and more!
Very easy installation
With another company which I have delt with, you had to print this out yourself.
Printing was excellent and on the mark.

I left 4 stars for the keypad review which should have been 5.
I didn't see at the time that there were 5.
I installed the board without any problems.
My problems started when I tried to flash the firmware.
I had no idea what I was doing.
Sent a message off to get help and within an hour, Tim had replied.
I figured it would be a day or two.
Tim sent me the firmware file along with his instructions.
Done, finished, printing.
He takes his business and customer serious.
Thanks Tim.

works great
So far so good. Perfect replacement belt for the x-axis on my anycubic kobra 2 pro.
Mostly good, far better visibility

Another nice upgrade for my K1 Max. The cover is flat and has great visibility, especially if you have overhead lighting. The screw hole center-to-center was a bit too narrow and did not line up well with the stock Creality handle, even without the plastic bushings. My K1 is a first gen unit so maybe Creality was mixing and matching handles or suppliers back then. I drilled the holes out slightly larger and was able to install the stock handle. it's not a big deal, and it was easy to fix, but something to be aware of if you have a first-gen K1.
Great improvement in visibility

Nice upgrade for my K1 Max. Easy replacement (highly recommend watching the video). The door is flat, all the screw holes lined up perfect, and the door fit great. The visibility into the build area is far better with this clear door compared to the stock tinted glass. The door and top cover arrived well packaged with no damage or warping. TH3d saw a problem and an opportunity to improve a component, then came up with a solution. Good job all around.

I had just hooked up OctoPi to my CR-10s and accidentally tried to flash the Merlin bootloader (not possible via usb as it turns out). The printer started spewing garbage to OctoPrint with alarming messages that the firmware was being corrupted. It was a cliché sci fi movie style death rattle until the printer was bricked.
Imagine my relief when I found Tim Hoogland and TH3D Studio. Great videos and Kits! Printer is all fixed thanks to TH3D Studio. Yay!

Sticks Like..............Glue!
Compared to others I have tried, this stuff is GREAT! It works exactly as described. I will be using TH3D Bed Cement going forward.
Excellent option for the SV08

The stock PEI plate for the Sovol SV08 has been problematic for me, either holding the printed object in a death grip or offering no adhesion at all. After making too many plates of spaghetti because prints failed to adhere (even with a non-TH3D brand of sticky stuff) I decided to order a replacement from TH3D. After a quick wash to remove any oils I loaded up a large print that takes up most of the bed which the stock plate had butchered previously. The EzFlexPro plate worked flawlessly! The object stayed secure throughout the 4 hour print and it released easily once the plate had cooled. Great product at a good price!

Buying from Ireland is a gamble on any product as taxes and duties are high & there's the alternative of more readily available products such as the Duet board, but the documentation from TH3D and firmware options are vastly superior if installing on Creality standard machines. So I bought 2 for machines I bought in 2018 and 2021, so far no issues in installation and support site great. Having a facility to customise firmware for my setup is a huge deal as I can quickly spin a new firmware without having to reconfigure config h and advanced files and hope there wasn't something I forgot.
Whole process very smoth, I added EZABL and solid bed mounts also, and regretting not replacing the stock filament sensor also which is not great.
Overall only minor issues relating to one of my printers (Ender Max has a 2nd part fan and board has just one socket - easily remediated by adding a small wiring loom to combine both into a single plug). Other than that, just fine, very easy install and the ezfirmware makes quick configs and reconfigs a doddle.

Great Sensor
I like the small size and light weight of the 8mm sensor. Very fast shipping it me going again in couple of days.
