ABOUT US

3D Printing Store.co.za forms part of the 3D Printing Factory (Pty) Ltd Group. We aim to be the biggest one stop shop for 3D printing hardware and consumables in South Africa. Our core values are customer satisfaction, to be known as a supplier with integrity, to develop and grow our people and to do what we do with passion.

3D Printing Store.co.za started in 2013 from a feeling of frustration not to be able to buy the 3D Printer components we need for our projects in South Africa. After doing market research we saw that there are a lot of people besides us having the exact same feeling. Mahatma Gandhi said: “Be the change you want to see in the world” and he is a lot smarter than we are, so we followed his advice and started 3D Printing Store.co.za.

We are very passionate about 3D printing and the whole Reprap open source development. We like to try new things, to develop new processes and then to give it back to the community. That is why we are always trying to push the boundaries and broaden the horizon.

Thank you for using our website. We hope that we can help you to find what you are looking for!

If you feel that we do not live up to our values, please contact us. We would like to know where you feel we can improve so that we can put a 🙂 on your face!

CORE ELECTRONICS – ABOUT US

Hi, I’m Graham, the founder of Core Electronics. I’m an Air Force Avionics Technician by trade (2004-2016) and electronics has always been my hobby on-the-side. Core Electronics sprang to life in 2007; sourcing innovative DIY electronics for friends from offshore brands. Since then we’ve been powered by DIY electronics and maker movement. We incorporated as a private company in 2013 and we’re absolutely proud to offer you the online experience you see today!

The slightly longer version of our background; I’ve been passionately involved with the maker movement since 2004; back when I used to build practical solutions for everyday problems, usually powered by PIC microcontrollers. I enjoyed sharing my projects with others, along with the method of making and any tips I collected along the way. I launched Digital DIY in 2006 to share my tutorials / projects which evolved into a community of electronics enthusiasts helping each other over technical hurdles and a platform to share their own projects. Neat! Digital DIY projects were often featured by Hackaday, Make Magazine and syndication circles that were popular at that time. To place my interests in the era of Maker Electronics; Adafruit was founded 2005, Sparkfun a little before that, Hackaday was 2004, Make Magazine was 2005.

Core Electronics was a derivative of Digital DIY and the need for hard to find bits and pieces. In our early days we had two or three orders a week and operated out of our garage during afterhours. In 2012 we outgrew the 6x6M garage and leased a 160sqm warehouse in Newcastle. On January 4th 2016, I left my Avionics position in the Royal Australian Air Force to join the Core Electronics team. In November 2016 we moved into a well needed 700sqm building in Newcastle.

Throughout this time we’ve partnered with industry leading brands from around the world to make innovative electronics more accessible in Australia. The whole team at Core Electronics is passionate about community education; we create our own tutorials, educational videos, projects and have community workshops at our offices to up-skill makers and educators.

That’s us in a nutshell, we’re here to help with your projects and educational electronics needs. We’re powered by makers, for makers.
