Local, on purpose

Why not just order online?

The national print services are fine for a hundred identical pieces. For one bracket, a fixture that needs a second look, or a part that has to be modeled from the broken original, they fall down: no one to talk to, a week or more of shipping both ways, and a minimum that doubles the price.

Northern Works replies within one business day, can look at the actual machine the part goes on, and hands you the part in West Fargo by appointment or ships it when it comes off the printer. ASA, carbon-fiber nylon and TPU are stocked, and the pricing is on the website.
