What lands on the bed

Small, colorful, and a little weird. Little 6's favorite kind of job.

Climbing & outdoor

Gear mods, replacement bits, hangboard hardware, that thing you snapped at the crag.

Cosplay & props

Costume parts, badges, display pieces. Multi-color in one print on request.

Prototypes & parts

Brackets, jigs, enclosures and one-off fixes — from everyday PLA right up to engineering-grade plastics.

PLAPETGTPUABSASAPLA-CFPETG-CF

Little 6 originals

The overlord's own line of keychains, pins and desk menaces — stocked over at the Little 6 Shop.

Made to order · no STL needed

No model yet? Little 6 will make one.

Bring a photo, a sketch, or just an idea. Little 6's workshop turns it into a print-ready model — then prints it. These are quoted by paw, not instantly.

Photo → 3D model

Send a few photos and we'll rebuild it as a clean, print-ready 3D model.

Figurines & statues

Custom characters, busts and statues — posed, detailed and sized to you.

Vases & décor

One-of-a-kind vases, planters and home pieces in any shape or size.

Parametric maker

Custom-fit parts to exact dimensions — give the numbers, get a part that fits.

Anything else

Odd request? Just ask — Little 6 rather enjoys a challenge.

How it works: tell Little 6 what you want, get a design and price, approve it, then it prints. You only pay once you're happy with the model.
How it works

Four steps from a file to a finished part.

01

Upload an STL or image

Have a model? Drop an STL in the quote card up top for an instant price. No model? Send a photo or sketch and Little 6 designs one for you first.

02

Get an instant price

Volume, supports and material, priced in seconds. Switch material, color and quality to compare.

03

The overlord inspects

Little 6 prints it in her workshop, then cleans it up against her tiny, exacting standards.

04

Order & collect

We confirm the details, send you a checkout link at the Little 6 Shop, then it's pickup in the Bay Area or shipped.

Materials & finishes

Pick the right plastic for the job.

Most prints come off the bed in PLA or PETG — start there. The rest are for special jobs.

Not sure which to pick? Choose PLA or PETG. Between them they cover almost every job — PLA for looks and detail, PETG for tougher, outdoor parts. Little 6 only reaches for the others when a print really needs it.

PLA

The everyday choice

Crisp detail, huge color range, great for models, décor and most prints. Good for 95% of jobs — and where we suggest you start.

PETG

Tougher & outdoor-ready

More heat- and impact-resistant than PLA. The pick for functional parts, brackets and things that live outside.

durableUV-friendlyfunctional
For special jobs
TPU

Flexible & grippy

Rubbery and bouncy — gaskets, grips, bumpers, phone bits and anything that needs to flex.

flexiblegripshock
ABS / ASA

Heat & weather resistant

Engineering staples for parts that see sun, heat or a hot car. ASA shrugs off UV — both come off the bed tough and stable.

PLA-CF / PETG-CF

Carbon-fiber strong

Carbon-fiber-filled for serious stiffness and a matte finish. For brackets, mounts and parts that can't flex.

Multi-color

Up to 4 colors in one print

Little 6 swaps filament mid-print, so logos, layered models and two-tone parts come off the bed ready — no hand-painting.

Little 6 prints up to a 256 × 256 × 256 mm build size in a single piece. Need a material that isn't listed? Just ask — Little 6 keeps trying new spools.
Why Little 6

Local, fast, and genuinely into this.

Local & fast

Based in the Bay Area. Pickup options and quick turnaround on small jobs.

Small-batch friendly

No scary minimums. One keychain or fifty brackets — both welcome.

No model needed

Send a photo or just an idea — Little 6 designs a print-ready model before printing.

Run by a cat

Plus the human staff who feed her: a climber and a coffee nerd.

Good to know

Questions the overlord anticipated.

So… is Little 6 a printing company?

Nope — Little 6 is a cat, and the Little 6 Shop is her store. 3D printing is just one of the things she does there. Got a model? She'll print it. No model? Send a photo and she'll design one first — keychains, vases, figurines, little statues, whatever you dream up — then print the lot.

What files can I send?

An STL works best and powers the instant quote above. No model at all? Just send a photo or sketch and Little 6 will design one for you. She'll also take 3MF and STEP and quote those by paw.

mm or inch?

STL files don't store units, so double-check. The quote tool defaults to millimeters; tick "inch file" if your model was exported in inches, or the size (and price) will look way off.

How big can you print?

Up to 256 × 256 × 256 mm in a single piece. Bigger things can be split and bonded back together — the quote tool will warn you if a model is over-size.

How do I actually order and pay?

Easy as a nap in the sun: send your files — an STL, or a photo for Little 6 to design from. She looks them over and sends back a proof to approve, then a checkout link at the Little 6 Shop to pay. After that it's pickup in the Bay Area or shipping at cost.

What can't you print?

Copyrighted or license-restricted models, walls too thin to survive, or anything over the build size (unless split). If something won't work, Little 6 will tell you and suggest a fix.

Got a model — or just an idea? Let Little 6 print it.

Send a photo for Little 6 to design from, price an STL instantly up top, or wander into the Little 6 Shop for originals, restocks and everything else the cat keeps in stock.
