I help hobbyists, teams, and small businesses turn ideas into reliable 3D‑printed parts—fast, friendly, and beginner‑safe.
My Story
I started 3D Printing by Kevin with a simple promise: make 3D printing practical for real people. After years of hands‑on experimenting—tuning profiles, testing materials, and fixing the same issues everyone runs into—I began publishing friendly, step‑by‑step guides so beginners could skip the frustration and enjoy the win of a clean, successful print.
Today I run a small shop based in Independence, Kentucky, serving the greater Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky / Dayton area with custom printing, CAD modeling, and rapid prototyping. Whether you need one perfect part or a short production run, I’ve got your back.
What I Do
- Custom 3D printing in PLA, PETG, ABS, and more—dimensionally accurate and clean.
- CAD modeling & design for print—watertight parts that succeed on the first go.
- Rapid prototyping & small‑batch runs—from one‑off test parts to pilot production.
- 1:1 coaching to de‑mystify slicers, materials, and maintenance.
Who I Help
- Hobbyists printing smarter, not harder
- Entrepreneurs testing new product ideas
- Educators & student teams on a deadline
- Local shops needing replacement or custom parts
How We’ll Work
- Share your files (STL/STEP/3MF) and goals
- Receive a quote with materials & timelines
- Iterate quickly if adjustments are needed
- Ship or local pickup—your choice

How I Use AI (Responsibly)
AI helps me brainstorm, outline, and pressure‑test ideas—but it never replaces hands‑on work. All tutorials are fact‑checked, printed, and rewritten in my own words. The goal isn’t clicks; it’s clarity and trustworthy results.

I’m looking to get a 3d printed prototype for a eyeglass clip. Are you in the Indy area?
Hello Mia,
I’m located in Independence, Kentucky.
Hi,
I’m looking to have a small item scanned and printed, but live in the Dayton, OH area. Would it be possible to ship it to your shop. Thanks kindly.
Kevin
Hi! thanks for contacting 3D printing by Kevin. Would it be possible to send me a picture of the item?
