Ice huts and island winters
When the lake freezes, ice huts go out for walleye and pike, and Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park, out on the lake’s islands, stays busy with skiers and winter campers. Small parts make a hut work: rod holders that screw to the wall, handles for hole covers, vent caps and hooks for lanterns and gear.
We print winter parts in TPU or nylon, which stay tough well below freezing instead of shattering the way cheap plastic does. Tell us the auger size or hut layout and we’ll size parts to suit.

For students and instructors
Portage College has its main campus in Lac La Biche, with trades, health and university-transfer programs. Students and instructors use printing for demonstration models, jigs for shop projects, replacement parts for training equipment and prototypes for final projects. Send a file or a sketch with measurements, tell us the deadline, and we’ll say what’s realistic.
Batches of identical parts — a set of models for a class, say — print side by side, so they take about as long as one.

Questions.
Can you print a part that has to survive minus thirty on the ice?
Yes — material choice matters most. We use TPU for anything that flexes and nylon or ASA for rigid parts, and avoid plain PLA, which turns brittle in deep cold.
How long does it take to get a 3D print to Lac La Biche?
Most orders are printed within 1–3 business days of approving the quote, then shipped by Canada Post Expedited Parcel with tracking — usually 2–3 business days to Lac La Biche. That’s typically 3–6 business days from approval to your door. In a hurry? Ask for Xpresspost (1–2 business days).
Do you have a location in Lac La Biche?
No — we print in Edmonton and ship to Lac La Biche. Everything is quoted from photos, measurements or files, so there’s no need to visit. If a part has to fit something exactly, ask about a quick test print first.
How much is shipping to Lac La Biche?
It depends on the size and weight of the parcel. Shipping is included in your quote, so you see the full price before anything prints.
Do I need a 3D file?
No. A photo next to a ruler and a few measurements is enough for most parts — we’ll model it for you.
