Behind the Scenes: Our 3D Printing Setup

Ever wonder how we create our products? Today, we're pulling back the curtain and giving you an inside look at our 3D printing setup!

Our Printers

We exclusively use Prusa printers for all our production. Why Prusa? A few reasons:

  1. Reliability: Prusa printers are known for their consistent, high-quality output
  2. Precision: The accuracy and detail are unmatched in their price range
  3. Community: There's an incredible community of makers who share profiles and tips
  4. Open Source: We love that Prusa is committed to open-source principles

Our Materials

Not all filament is created equal. We're picky about what we use:

  • Premium PLA: For most of our products, we use high-quality PLA that offers beautiful finishes and durability
  • PETG: For items that need extra strength or temperature resistance
  • ABS: For specific applications like our LEGO-compatible products

Quality Control

Every product goes through our quality control process:

  1. Visual inspection for any defects
  2. Functionality testing (does that bottle opener actually open bottles?)
  3. Finishing touches (removing any support marks, smoothing edges)
  4. Final packaging with care

The Magic of 3D Printing

What we love most about 3D printing is the ability to create almost anything. From functional kitchen tools to decorative art pieces, the possibilities are endless.
