About 3B Customs
Made for people who notice the details.
3B Customs is a small, veteran-owned and operated maker practice for laser-engraved and 3D-printed objects with a useful purpose and a collector's point of view.
The maker story
A workshop built around considered objects.
Every piece starts with a simple question: what would make this object worth keeping? The answer might be a clean engraving, a better fit on a desk, or a small detail that makes a gift feel personal.
The work moves slowly enough to get the material, proportions, and finish right—then gets made to be used, displayed, and returned to.
Material notes
Chosen for their feel, finish, and staying power.
Leather

Production approach
From idea to finished object.
01
Consider the purpose
Form, size, and the small details are worked out before a material is selected.
02
Make with precision
Engraving and printing are calibrated for legibility, fit, and a finish that looks intentional.
03
Finish by hand
Each piece is checked, cleaned, and prepared to travel well or be picked up locally.
Care guidance
Keep the details looking their best.
Engraved wood
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking and long periods in direct sunlight.
Leather pieces
Use a clean, dry cloth for regular care. Keep away from standing water and harsh cleaners.
3D-printed goods
Dust with a soft cloth or rinse gently with mild soap and cool water. Avoid high heat.
Objects made to earn their place.
Whether it is a personal gift, a desk detail, or a one-off idea, the goal stays the same: make it useful, make it considered, and make it last.
