COSPLAY · FRIEZA HELMET
“It came out so clean that I barely had to sand it before I started painting.”
“Working with Creativeparrot was an incredibly easy and fun experience. It was my first large 3D print and I didn’t know much about any of it, he was so kind to give explain to me the different options and prices and help me choose what would be best for my cosplay. I expected the process to take at least a week but from first speaking with him to my helmet being printed only took about 48 hours in total. It came out so clean that I barely had to sand it before I started painting. In the future I’m looking into other big builds and when I do he’s at the top of the list for who I’d contact!”
Google ★★★★★
“I can’t recommend this company enough. They take care of all the details for you. Super comms. Super quick. Super quality. I will be ordering there again, for sure. Thanks Arty!”

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.

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?
Many small prints cost just a few pounds: see real example prices on this page. 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 ↗
