WHAT WE MAKE
No catalogue.
No boring limits.
You bring the idea. We work out how to turn it into something you can hold.
Whether you've already got a ready-to-print file or just a reference photo and a rough plan, tell us what you're trying to create. We specialise in the fun, unusual and brilliantly specific.
02
Decorative & Collectible
Statement pieces, sculptures, ornaments and beautifully unnecessary things.
03
Personalised & Custom
Names, gifts, signs, wedding pieces and one-off ideas made for a particular person or place.
04
Practical Prints
Broken clip? Odd bracket? Holder that doesn't exist? Simple useful parts are welcome too.HOW IT WORKS
From “could you make this?”
to “that’s exactly it.”
Show us the idea
Send a file, sketch, photo, link or just explain what you're imagining.
We work it out
We'll look at size, finish, colour and the best way to make it, then give you a quote.
We make it real
Once you're happy, we print it and get your finished piece ready for collection or delivery.
BEHIND THE PRINTS
Made by machines.
Finished by people.
3D printing is only part of the story. Some pieces come straight off the printer. Others are assembled, finished, tested and fussed over until they feel right.
PROP FINISHING
Print is just the beginning.
DECORATIVE
Made to be kept.
BIG PROJECTS
Whole worlds, one layer at a time.
All footage shows real projects made by The Creative Parrot.
MADE BY THE CREATIVE PARROT
A few things that escaped the printers.
Every project is different. That's rather the point.
CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Real projects.
Real customer feedback.
We have years of feedback from custom prints, cosplay, prototypes, gifts and wonderfully unusual requests. A fresh mix of ten reviews appears each time you visit.
Fiverr cards use the customer's published wording, shortened only where needed for layout. Etsy cards marked as summaries condense the original feedback. Marketplace names link to the public review pages.
WHO WE ARE
A small creative workshop with a lot of printers and an unhealthy enthusiasm for making things.
The Creative Parrot is based in Treuddyn, Flintshire, North Wales. We help makers, cosplayers, collectors, gift-givers and people with very specific problems turn digital ideas into physical objects.
We keep the process personal: you talk to a real person, we figure out what you need, and we make it.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
FAQ, minus the
corporate waffle.
If you're not sure whether your idea is printable, send it anyway. The useful answer is usually “let us have a look”, not a page of jargon.
Do I need a 3D model already?
Not necessarily. If you already have a ready-to-print file, brilliant. If you only have a sketch, photo, link or rough idea, send it over and we'll tell you what is possible and whether any design work or a suitable model will be needed before printing.
What files can I send?
The instant quote tool accepts ready-to-print STL, 3MF, STEP and STP files up to 250 MB. For a sketch, photo or other file type, the enquiry form accepts STL, STEP, STP, 3MF, OBJ, ZIP, PDF and common images up to 20 MB. For anything larger, send the enquiry first and we'll arrange a secure transfer.
How much will my print cost?
Have a ready-to-print STL, 3MF or STEP file? Use our instant quote tool to choose your print options and see a price. If you only have an idea or need design or finishing work, send us an enquiry and we'll quote it personally.
How long does an order take?
Small straightforward prints can be quick; larger, multi-part or finished projects naturally take longer. We'll give you a realistic turnaround with the quote, and if you have a deadline, tell us at the start.
Can you make just one?
Absolutely. One-offs are welcome. We also handle small batches when you need more than one.
Do you deliver outside North Wales?
Yes. We're based in Treuddyn, Flintshire, and ship across the UK and internationally. Enter your delivery country in the quote tool to see the available delivery price. Collection can also be arranged for suitable local enquiries.
What happens to a file I upload?
Uploads are stored privately for the enquiry. The download link we receive expires after 30 days, and expired files are automatically cleaned up by the enquiry system.
What if my part is industrial or engineering-focused?
That's what our sister brand is for. Phoenix Additive focuses on engineering parts, technical materials, prototypes and production work. Visit Phoenix Additive ↗
