For younger kids, adults can be the one using the 3D printer but kids can still get lots of benefit from watching and working on projects together. Children will need close supervision and you'll need to use your parental judgement on teens. Warning: 3D printers are a great tool for children and young people, but they are not toys and you should consider safety issues. I thought it would be useful to put together a guide to buying a 3D printer for your family and highlight the points you should consider to make sure you get a good experience.įor credits for 3D models in the image, please see: Fun Things to 3D print for kids. When we started our 3D-printing journey there wasn't much choice for 3D printers but now there's loads. We've been impressed with this option as a simple way for teens and supervised children to get started with 3D printing. It has been a brilliant experience, our kids think 3D printing is just an everyday thing and come up with ideas of things to 3D print for themselves and as gifts for friends and teachers, they often choose to use 3D printing in school projects and increasingly they come along to events and explain 3D printing to other kids.Ģ016 Update: Read our review of the XYZ Mini and MiniMaker 3D Printers which are designed for families. As regular readers will know, we've been using 3D printers with our kids for a few years now.
