3D Printer Technician / Production Assistant

About Us

We operate an active, fast-growing 3D printing setup in Northampton creating high-detail collectibles and custom products. We run a dedicated fleet of modern FDM printers and are looking for someone hands-on to help keep production moving smoothly day in, day out.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Print Farm Operation: Keep the fleet running—starting scheduled jobs, clearing beds, and ensuring daily production runs smoothly.
• Routine Upkeep: General printer TLC like swapping nozzles, changing hotends, clearing the occasional jam, and keeping belts and rails clean.
• Slicing & Job Prep: Setting up print plates in software like Bambu Studio or Orca Slicer, getting orientation right, and adding clean supports.
• Basic File Checks: Making sure STLs are solid and ready to print before hitting start (we have workflows to handle heavy design/cad work—you just need an eye for spot-checking files).
• Quality & Packing: Checking finished parts off the bed, cleanly removing supports, and prepping orders for shipping.

What We’re Looking For

• Real hands-on experience using modern FDM printers (whether from a previous job, university workshop, or running your own tuned setup at home).
• Comfortable navigating slicers like Bambu Studio, Orca, or PrusaSlicer.
• Practical mindset—you enjoy working with tools, swapping parts, and troubleshooting physical hardware when a print doesn't stick.
• Reliable, detail-oriented, and happy working in a relaxed, steady workshop environment.
