We will add on more 3D Printing inspired Gifts when we see something cool. Please Comment below if you have a good Gift idea and we will try to add it on here.
Learn something new every day, who knew that a retouching kit existed for 3D prints. How cool is that?
Wish i could of sent this to the side and family 30 days ago… 🙁 nice write up, but maybe next year get it out a little earlier for shipping reasons… 🙂
Nice list! I would like each one! Especially the one that enables the 3D printer to print in different colors and materials. But I think that one will have to wait until I get a loan from the bank!..haha. But it’s really cool!! I’d also really like to have the retouching tool for all the mistakes and bad spots. I’ve got this list saved and am going to be coming back to it to knock off these things one at a time. Thanks! Another little do-dad someone might like is the sticky goo that goes on a unheated printer bed. I forgot the name of it. It’s not as cool as all these things but could be a good stocking stuffer.
Definitely a good list. But we need to keep building it.
3D Printing pens are really a great object to print hoards of domestic objects in a desired manner. Really, a great piece of article which describes the pros and cons of the related objects.
Instead of putting an extremely long comment here. I created a forum post with my thoughts on some of the items listed here, as well as some things I thought could be added.

Love the ideas was like a sweet shop x
Good job!!
Let’s see if someone gives me sth of the list
Good guide, thank you
Good guide, thank you
These are all great!
This is a gift guide that is unique and will make memorable Christmas gifts for sure.
I actually got a laser module pictured above. Very good for engraving wooden objects!
Thats awesome!
Please be aware when coating your 3d prints using the Patt A and part B there are fumes that can be very bad for your health…always wear a mask. I almost ended up in the hospital with a severe allergic reaction….!!
Nice. Thanks for this guide
One of the best tools I purchased has been an infrared thermometer works good for confirming all components are working and I can see how fast my print cools.
Don’t you think the cons of number 3 is that over time you increase the size of your nozzle? those drill bit will do a really good job at rimming the nozzle bigger and bigger over time.
Number 3 Cons would be making the nozzle bigger with the drill bits !
