Free replacement part tools

Three small tools for the questions people ask before getting a part remade: is it a sensible job, does it save money, and what should the brief say. They run in your browser and nothing you enter is stored by this site.

Can this part be remade? Checker

Check whether a broken part is a good candidate to be remade by a maker, which material suits it, and when it must be a certified original instead.

Repair or replace? Savings calculator

Compare the cost of a remade replacement part with buying a new product: savings now, repair as a share of the new price, and cost per year of use.

Replacement part brief builder

Turn your measurements into a clear brief for a maker: a title, a description to paste into your Spool List post, and a checklist of what to add.

Broken part in your hand?

Photograph it, measure it, post it once.

Post the part free on The Spool List. Makers quote with a price and a lead time, and the platform holds your payment until you confirm delivery.

Part no longer made? Ask a maker.

Post photos and measurements once and compare quotes. The maker is paid only after you confirm delivery. Own a printer, lathe or CNC? List it free.
