The company
SyRep is part of the Syakademiet as.
Syakademiet (The Sewing Academy) was established in 2012 to offer sewing courses, creative events and sewing machine service. From autumn 2017, Syakademiet switched to online sewing courses.
SyRep is a sewing machine workshop specializing in vintage sewing machines. This includes the repair of electronics and the development & production of spare parts that are no longer produced by the sewing machine manufacturer.
Who am I?
Theodor Bastberget
I have worked as a computer/network technician for 16 years, been a developer, technical manager, operations technician and trainer. Has a degree in mechanics and electronics, has a certificate as a service electrician and has worked as a radio tv repairman.
I am authorized on Bernina (incl. the new 800 series), Brother, BabyLock, Janome, elna, JUKI, Husqvarna and PFAFF. Good expertise in overlock and cover machines.
At syakademiet.no I have made the courses on basic operation and use of overlock and sewing machine.
My motto:
"Anything is possible, the impossible only takes a little longer."
Why 3D Printing?
For as long as I can remember I fixed, repaired and made various mechanical, data and electronic things. All the time my motto has been that everything can be repaired. When I have issues where I can not buy new spare parts, I have had to think outside the box to solve the problem.
I constantly came across issues I thought could be solved with a 3D Printer, so a PRUSA I3 MK3 (now upgraded to MK4) was purchased. This opened up a whole new world and I was constantly making new spare parts that were no longer produced. In addition, I made upgrades so that you can, for example, use a new type of power cord instead of a standard that no longer exists.
This was the start of this online store that I hope will be able to help me continue with this work that I likes so well and thinks is very important in a use-and-throw world that we live in now.
