What began in a garage, grows to be so much more.
My name is Marvin Dawson, also known as budmarv2/budm, and I’m a programmer, graphic designer, tinkerer, and a maker; based in Indianapolis, IN. I always hated having to depend on another manufacturer for my designs and products, always unsure of the quality that my customers would get, and having to deal with higher prices, when I wanted to make my stuff high quality and affordable for folks that are into my designs. So in 2017, I began Indybudmarv2, its goal as a project to provide a way to manufacture products for the independent, or small groups, and myself at affordable prices.
The project spent the first year of its life primarily focused on manufacturing my designs as t-shirts, but as I began tinkering further with 3D prints on the side, and we developed a service for that, and we exploded. Since mid 2018, the 3D printing part of our shop has grown in popularity so much that, the t-shirts are barely made anymore, and we focused very heavily on the printing.
In 2019 we moved to strictly 3D printing, and we now utilize 7 printers almost 24/7(as of Apr 2022). Handling the manufacturing for many individuals over email and through local sales sites, and here on Etsy.
In early 2020, we have moved to expand the service by adding vinyl decal design, stickers, and magnets as well!
In 2021 we increased our automotive offerings, sick and tired of all the backorders and hard to find parts we set out to make better parts, and increase what was available for our vehicles, and at the same time we began to phase out some of our cookie cutter items. In 2022 we have began the rebrand under the name Printi-Parts, hoping to move forward as a shop.
We look forward to the future, and what it may bring as we continue to grow, and provide for our customers, and we appreciate everything that has gotten us to today, and drives us towards tomorrow.
