Services Mod N' Mend Offers
Whether you need a custom-fabricated gaming rig, a privacy-focused home network, or a rapid 3D-printed prototype, I provide expert tech solutions tailored to you.
📍 How I Work (Service Options)

About Mod N' Mend
Hey, I'm Ethan! The maker and technician behind Mod N' Mend.
What started as a passion for building high-performance PC gaming rigs and custom Raspberry Pi arcade machines quickly evolved into a full-scale pursuit of better, more private technology. I believe that whether you are gaming, working from home, or setting up a secure network, you should actually own and control your hardware.
Based right here in Salt Lake City, I created Mod N' Mend to bridge the gap between digital IT support and physical hardware fabrication. I am currently pursuing my CompTIA A+ certification to ensure my networking, troubleshooting, and repair services meet the highest professional industry standards.
When I'm not running diagnostics or deploying secure, open-source home routers, I'm usually running my 3D printers. I specialize in rapid prototyping, custom tech enclosures, and high-quality tabletop gaming accessories.
I’ve been designing, printing, and shipping custom gear for a while now. If you want to see my track record, check out my seller ratings or pick up some of my ready-to-ship physical products below:
