3dShop.uk

A FLsun-only 3D printing shop based in Wiltshire

3dShop.uk describes itself as an official FLsun partner for the UK and Europe and states that it works with a single brand: FLsun. The shop sells FLsun printers, both new and refurbished, along with spare parts for the manufacturer's machines. Its stated aim is to cover every part used across the FLsun range, and it invites customers to ask by email when an item does not appear in the online catalogue.

The business presents itself as a small team of enthusiasts who began by helping users on FLsun community forums with technical knowledge and solutions, then moved into distributing parts for the brand before opening their own online shop.

Printers, spares and repair work

The commercial offer is organised around three areas:

• New and partially used FLsun printers, with every partially used machine checked before dispatch.
• Spare parts for all FLsun printers, including hotends, effectors, nozzles and small components such as screws.
• Printer repairs for a fixed fee, with parts supplied at a discount.

The shop states that almost every item it stocks is of original manufacturer origin, a measure it links to quality and compatibility.

Stock held in the UK and delivery times

According to the company, it holds more than £30,000 of parts in stock within the UK, which allows it to supply the British market in a few days rather than the roughly three weeks it associates with ordering directly from China. Because the import process has already been handled, the shop says buyers face no further import charges. It also reports that an EU warehouse is being established and that stocks there are growing, and that orders are shipped to the United States as well. For purchases within the EU, the company directs customers to a sister website, 3dWorld.Store.

Technical documentation and firmware resources

Beyond retail, the site carries a substantial support section. It publishes firmware for the FLsun SR, QQs (Pro), QQ (8-bit), Q5 and V400 models, including a 600 mm/s upgrade for the V400 and a separate 60 mm/s version for use with a Speeder Pad or Klipper. There are also instructions for updating the internal firmware of a Speeder Pad, for reinstalling its firmware and operating system, and a note on firmware problems affecting the FL-QQS-MAIN-V1.0 board.

The support material extends to the ADXL345 accelerometer, with an installation and usage guide, advanced graphics and an explanation of why the sensor matters in the V400 speed upgrade. Model pages cover the SR, QQs (Pro) and Q5 ranges, and a video gallery is organised by the same model lines. Further sections address servicing a Titan extruder and offer advice for beginners.

Ownership and recent history

The shop was founded in 2019, during the Covid period, by Brett Janaway, who took on a dealership after buying a printer for a project and becoming particularly interested in delta printers. As the business grew, Chris Trow joined to handle day-to-day running and dispatch, later buying the shop outright and moving it to premises in Wiltshire. Chris Trow died in autumn 2024 after a long illness, a period during which the shop was, in its own words, somewhat neglected. From November 2024 the business passed to new owners and remains based in Wiltshire; Brett Janaway's daughter and son-in-law are continuing the enterprise.

How the shop positions itself

The company frames its role around two problems it says UK users face with Chinese-built FDM printers for the domestic market: manuals that are hard to follow and slow access to spare parts. Its response has been to keep a broad stock of common parts, and some uncommon ones, on hand locally. It also describes itself as the only stockist worldwide of every part FLsun uses in its printers, and as almost the only shop of its kind outside FLsun itself, claims that reflect the company's own presentation rather than an independent assessment.
