Build It Yourself. Or Have It Built Locally.
Open hardware projects designed for commodity parts, 3D printed enclosures, and distributed assembly.
No Proprietary Parts. No Glue. No Locked Supply Chains.
Commodity Parts
ESP32, accelerometers, magnets, USB-C - widely available components anyone can source.
3D Printable
Enclosures designed for local printing. No injection molding required.
Open Firmware
Code is public. Modify, improve, and flash your own builds.
Public BOM
Every component listed with sources. No hidden parts.
Repairable
Screws, not glue. Swap components when needed.
Local Assembly
Built near you by vetted makers in your area.
How It Works
Choose a Build
Browse structured projects with complete BOM, STL files, firmware, and assembly guides. Every build is fully documented.
Get Parts
Download the consolidated parts list or order a bundle. Multiple builds? Parts automatically merge into one list.
Print or Assemble
Print the enclosure yourself, have it printed locally, or order fully assembled from a maker near you.
Built Near You.
Open designs. Local assembly. Lower shipping. Faster iteration.
Local Assemblers
Makers list themselves per build to offer assembly services in your area.
Fair Revenue Split
85% to assembler, 15% to ZipPrint. Monthly payouts.
Quality Control
Community ratings and verified builds ensure consistency.
Smarter Parts
Identical components merge across builds. No duplicate shipments.
Build. Improve. Remix.
ZipPrint is built by makers, for makers. Upload builds, submit revisions, and earn by assembling locally.
Submit Builds
Upload your open hardware projects with full documentation.
Propose Improvements
Submit revisions and remixes to existing builds.
Earn by Building
List as a local assembler and get paid for your work.
Infrastructure for Distributed Hardware.
ZipPrint Builds is an experiment in open manufacturing - structured, documented, locally reproducible hardware.
