Custom 3D-printed airsoft parts, accessories, and gear.
3D Printing is a fabrication process where a user can translate a 3D design into a usable real-life model. This is done via a specialised plastic extrusion machine that slowly builds layers-on-layers until the model is complete.
A single design can take anywhere from a few minutes to several days to print. It can highly depend on the volume and intricacy of the design. The prices of products on this website mostly reflect the amount of time and materials it takes to print each of the models.
We sell 3D-printed items and accessories specifically for airsoft guns, or any purposes related to airsoft. None of the items we make are compatable with, would work with, nor could realisitically be repurposed for anything real-steel. As we merely sell accessories, you do not need a UKARA to purchase these items.
We produce our models in either PLA+ (A special blend of Polyactic Acid mixed with more durable plastics and additives) or PETG (Polyethylene Glycol Terephthalate). PLA is harder than plastics such as PETG and ABS, but as a result can be more brittle when introduced to blunt forces. PETG is used when parts need to be more flexible in order to absorb sharp forces, but retain their strength. All 3D printed objects are subject to damage if treated improperly. It's always advisable to treat them with care, and avoid putting them in excessively hot environments. Temperatures above 50°C can cause them to warp.
The estimated printing and finishing times are stated on each of the product pages. However, almost all prints are printed within 7 days of ordering. This will vary depending on how many orders are in the queue, the overall printing time, and if any components need to be outsourced during production. All models are made to-order. We will send an email after you order, and another once the print's finished and has been packed and shipped
If you're having a hard time fitting your item, or it does not appear to fit; please first double-check the branding of your gun and any instructions provided with the item. Currently, all our P90 products are compatable all brands of P90, except for gas-powered P90s, and the Krytac-branded P90. Meanwhile our items designed got Glocks are designed to work with ASG, KWA, or KSC-brand Glocks. We may be able to make edits to the designs so please feel free to contact us regarding this before you order.
If the gun is the right brand and is supposed to fit, but doesn’t, we'll can also offer a refund if it's sent back. We obviously try our best and test the items on as many guns as possible, but sometimes certain brands or models slip under the radar. Just send us an email at pancakecustoms@gmail.com and we can get a refund going. If you own a pair of electric callipers, you may be able to help develop a version of the item which will work with your specific gun!
Additonally, these plastics respond well to edits. So sanding, filing, cutting, etc. the pieces can work if enough care and attention is given.
If you pop us an email at pancakecustoms@gmail.com, we'd love to hear any ideas or suggestions you may have. Please keep in mind we can't take every suggestion into consideration as it can take weeks or even months to design and prototype a single model.
Just send us an email at pancakecustoms@gmail.com explaining which part broke (with pictures), and we'll be able to draw up a discounted invoice to produce just the broken part again. It saves you from needing to buy the whole thing again! We may also ask for an order number for the original purchase, or a date in which you bought the original item. Keep in mind that not all parts may be re-printable. Pancake Customs cannot be held responsible for any damage sustained to your purchases once they have been brought onto an airsoft field, or have been opened up/tampered with/customised in any way.
What you are likely seeing is a surface that touched a support structure during printing. As you cannot print in mid-air, support structures are generated that create 'platforms' for the print to build upon and complete sucessfully. The unfotunate downside is that these surfaces are noticably rougher that other surfaces of the print. We try to hide these surfaces as much as possible, but they are a normal part of 3D printing and do appear sometimes.
For most of our models, we recommend painting! Coating them in a layer of car filler spray paint (or just sanding them a bit) can help with concealing the small layer lines that appear during printing. After that, you can get as creative as you want! Most types of paint should work, though spray paint is reccomended. Using a layer of primer also helps gain more accurate colours on the default-black plastic.
We are always revisiting designs and making improvements and tweaks so they are stronger and better. Sometimes small changes like the shape of a handle or the depth of a notch may change. These don't affect the dimentions of the item and will function exactly as they would have before. If any major visual changes happen to any designs, we will update the pictures promptly.
Note: We reserve the right to cancel orders (with refund) for any reason, and without needing to provide a reason. Prices for items may change to reflect material costs, demand, design changes, and postage costs.
Our goal is to provide new and interesting accessories for the airsoft market via the means of 3D printing. Using high-quality filament and a superbly calibrated printer for stunning results. Make your gear stand out on the field.
