Blue Box Goblin

Blue Box Goblin Blue Box Goblin - brand of Maikoot Limited - offering on-demand 3D printing, CAD, scan and filament. Established in 2018.

We are Swindon (UK) based a small family business and 3d filament supplier passionate about 3d printing and 3d modelling. So far we were able to help broad customers from different industries, businesses and individuals, to speed up their prototyping process, develop new products, support their hobby or simply replicate broken parts. Starting on automotive passionate and finishing on dentists, art

ists, product designers, plumbers, hobbyists and many more. We managed to combine 3d printing, designing and good plastic materials understanding supported with years of injection moulding background into comprehensive 3d services. We are constantly expanding our knowledge along with range of 3d filaments, artistic products, gadgets and miniatures available via the online store.

Summer closure and contact update

Maikoot Limited, including Blue Box Goblin, will be closed for our summer shutdown from Wednesday 12 August to Monday 31 August, inclusive.

We will reopen on Tuesday 1 September at 10:30am.

During the closure, we will not be able to monitor emails or answer telephone calls. Orders can still be placed through our websites, but they will be processed after we return.

Any enquiries or requests received during this period will be handled in the order they were received. Please allow a little additional time during the first few days after reopening.

From 1 September

All enquiries and correspondence relating to our technical services should be sent to:

[email protected]

This includes:

product development and CAD design
3D scanning and reverse engineering
prototyping and functional 3D printing
post-processing
low-volume manufacturing

Blue Box Goblin will gradually focus on filament sales, our online store, eBay and Treatstock orders, practical printed products and selected artistic projects.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.

We look forward to welcoming you back in September.

Filament Spotlight: Rosa3D PA12+15CF

Need something beyond PLA or PETG for a functional project?

Rosa3D PA12+15CF, also known as Nylon CF, is an engineering filament suited to parts that need increased stiffness, dimensional stability and durability.

It is a useful material to consider for applications such as:

- automotive components
- brackets and mounting parts
- housings and enclosures
-workshop equipment
- functional prototypes
- low-volume end-use parts

Shown here are custom dashboard vent components produced in black PA12+15CF—an application where appearance matters, but fit, stability and function are just as important.

PA12+15CF requires a suitable printer setup and wear-resistant nozzle, so check your machine compatibility before ordering. Unsure whether it is right for your printer or project? Send us a message.

A damaged part can still be a useful starting point.

A 3D scanner captures the object in front of it — including broken, worn or missing areas.

That means the scan is not automatically a finished replacement. It provides real-world geometry that can then be inspected, reconstructed and developed in CAD.

This impeller moved through four stages:

damaged original → 3D scan → digital reconstruction → printed replacement

When the drawing or original file no longer exists, what remains of the physical part can still help rebuild what has been lost.

Filament Spotlight: Rosa3D PC+PBT

Need something beyond PLA or PETG?

Rosa3D PC+PBT is an engineering filament intended for functional parts that need a tougher, more stable material.

It is a useful option to consider for applications such as:

- automotive components
- electronics housings
- robotic parts
- workshop equipment
- functional prototypes
- parts exposed to more demanding conditions

Available in black, PC+PBT gives functional parts a clean, professional appearance while offering a more application-focused option for projects where standard materials may not be enough.

We recently used it for a custom sports-car cooling channel — a practical example of matching the filament to the job.

3D printing does not always end when the print is finished.

For many parts, post-processing is what turns a printed component into something ready to test, assemble, present or use.

That can include support removal, sanding, filling, surface preparation, painting, fitting and final checks.

Not every part needs every step. Some parts are used straight from the printer. Others need extra work because the finish, fit or application matters.

The print is only one stage of the process.

The final result often depends on what happens before and after it.

Custom cooling channel for a sports car.

Printed in PC+PBT on the Voron 2.4.

This is the kind of functional 3D printed part we like working on — practical, purpose-led and designed around real use.

For parts like this, material choice, print orientation, fit and airflow all matter.

A small update from us.

Over the next few months, you may notice some changes to our branding, website and social media pages.

Blue Box Goblin is not going anywhere.

It will continue as our retail/product-facing brand for filaments, online products and practical 3D printed items.

The technical service side of the business will gradually move under Maikoot Solutions, covering CAD design, 3D scanning, reverse engineering, prototyping, functional 3D printing and low-volume manufacturing.

Maikoot Limited remains the company behind both brands.

The aim is simple: make it clearer what each part of the business does.

We are also preparing maikoot.com, starting with a coming soon page while the full website is being built.

More updates will appear gradually as everything comes together.

Why surface preparation matters in 3D scanning.

Black, glossy or reflective parts can be difficult for an optical scanner to read properly.

Without preparation, the scan may show:

- missing areas
- noisy surfaces
- weak edges
- less reliable geometry

A light mattifying coating can help the scanner capture the part more cleanly.

That gives better data for measurement, CAD reference, reverse engineering or redesign work.

3D scanning is not just about capturing a shape.
It is about getting usable data for the next step.

In this case, the next step will be post-scan CAD work and redesign.

Custom air-conditioning duct adapter.

Printed in Rosa3D PLA White on the Voron 2.4.

Not every functional part needs an engineering material.

For indoor, low-stress applications where the part mainly needs to provide shape, fit and airflow direction, PLA can still be a practical option.

For heat, outdoor exposure or higher loads, we would look at other materials.

That is why the material choice always depends on the job the part needs to do.

Engineering material will not save poor design.

A stronger material can help, but it will not fix everything.

Functional parts still need good design decisions around:

- wall thickness
- sharp corners
- stress points
- mounting areas
- print orientation
- fit and assembly
- how the part will be used

PA12+CF, PC-PBT, ASA and other engineering materials all have their place.

But material choice and design need to work together.

A poor design in a stronger material can still fail.

A better design in the right material has a much better chance of doing the job properly.
