The creation of TH3D
Tim launched TH3D in September 2017 in terms of an actual brand name. The first product that came to market was our EZABL kit in March 2017 and was initially sold under Tim’s old IT website.
The popularity of the product and our support made it that we needed to make the 3D printing products under their own brand name; thus TH3D was born.
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 only operate online and do not offer local pickup for orders.
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.
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.
Community Outreach
We believe in giving back to the community because we would not be here without it. We put out and maintain our Firmware branch that helps users get more out of their machines at no cost to them while making the printers much safer.
We make honest review videos on our YouTube channel (most are machines we bought ourselves) so that you know if a machine is worth checking out or not and tutorials for the machines.
Financially we donate to various open source projects that we believe are important to the 3D printing community. In addition to that, we provide the Marlin developers with products when they need them for testing and/or their printers.
Tim
Owner
About Me
I’ve been a tinkerer and maker since a young age. I’ve always been into computers and electronics. I started 3D printing in late 2016 as a hobby and it quickly became one of my main hobbies. Running a business while also being someone who has ADHD has been a challenge at times, but I love what I do and its very rewarding most of the time.
Professionally, I have over a decade of Information Technology experience from IT Support, Project Management, and Systems Administration. I am also an Eagle Scout (obtained in 2007).
Hobbies: 3D Printing, Computers, PC Gaming, Cars, Drones, Volunteering, and Home Automation

Shaun
Print Farm & Product Assembly Manager
About Me
Shaun has done a bit of everything. He has a mechanical background working on cars, small machines, and tinkering which led him to 3D printing in approximately 2018. His attention to detail and fine craftsmanship when 3D printing caused Tim to headhunt him for a position here at TH3D, where he runs the Printer Farm. Previously Shaun has worked in manufacturing, assembly, and founded and owned a successful towing company.
Some of Shaun’s hobbies include 3D Printing, Playing with cats, and flying drones.
