3D Printing Basics: Printing toys for little ones





I think I’ll have to buy some of this to give it a try. One thing I would add to this list is to print your parts with extra walls. Kids can be rough on toys and 2 walls/15% infill may not be up for the abuse. Any time I print items for my kids I go with 3-5 walls (small prints 3, larger prints 4-5) and 20% minimum infill to strengthen the parts a bit so they can handle being thrown across the room onto a concrete floor without breaking.

I’ve noticed a trend here to clean toys in a dishwasher.

They should probably make comment on that, because the water temperature might break PLA.

I’ve had PLA and PETG prints warp badly in the dishwasher. So far, ASA has survived without damage.
