Charity 3D Printing for Kids at Augsburg Pediatric Oncology – Pieksekisten

Hi @hollowmaker ,

thank you for your kind and thoughtful words – that really means a lot.

Hearing this from someone who can relate on a personal level makes it even more meaningful.

And thank you so much for allowing me to use your models.
That kind of support is exactly what makes this project what it is.

It’s incredible to see how people come together, each contributing in their own way – and your designs being part of this means a lot.

I’ll make sure they find their way into the Pieksekisten and hopefully bring a few smiles along the way.

Also, thanks again to @Wobbegong for connecting us here.

Really appreciate you being part of this.

Hey Pascal,

Thank you for sharing your story — and for what you’re doing.
This is the kind of project that really gives meaning to what we create.

You have my full permission to use any of my models for this initiative.

That includes both free and paid designs — if there’s anything specific you’d like, just let me know and I’ll gladly provide access.

I appreciate the respect you showed by asking first.
Wishing you strength, and I hope these prints can bring some joy to the kids.

Hey @MalcTheOracle ,

this is really amazing – thank you for taking the time to share all of this.

These kinds of models are exactly the type of small, interactive things that can make a real difference in moments where distraction and a bit of fun really matter.

I especially like the idea of fidget-style prints – they can be simple, but incredibly effective.

I’ll take a closer look at everything you shared.

And honestly, seeing contributions like this coming from the community is something I did not expect at this level – it really means a lot.

Thank you for being part of this.

Pascal

Hi @jajaum3d ,

Hi Henrique,

thank you very much for your kind words and for this generous permission.
I really appreciate the trust behind it.

The fact that you are even including your paid designs means a lot to me, and I do not take that lightly.

I will of course make sure your work is properly credited whenever it becomes part of the project.

Thank you again for being part of this and for helping bring a few small moments of joy to the children.

Pascal

Hi Pascal,

You’re doing something truly meaningful, and it’s great to see this kind of initiative shared here.

No need to worry about credits or details — just focus on the project and use whatever models are helpful.

Glad to be part of this in some small way.

hi @jajaum3d

Hi Henrique,

thank you so much for your kind words — it truly means a lot.

Your message really touched me, and I deeply appreciate your openness and trust. Knowing that we can use your models without worrying about credits or formalities makes things much easier for us, and it helps us focus fully on what matters most: bringing small moments of joy to the kids.

Your support, even in a small way as you say, actually has a very big impact.

Thank you for being part of this :heart:

All the best,
Pascal

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share a small moment that really meant a lot to us.

Someone from the MakerWorld community came across this project and decided to support it anonymously with a small gift for the kids. No username, no recognition — just pure kindness.

Moments like this show how far this idea has already reached, and how much heart this community has :heart:

We also make sure that every designer who supports this project is properly credited.

Thank you to whoever you are — it truly made a difference.

Pascal

Hallo Jürgen,

vielen lieben Dank für deine Worte – das bedeutet mir wirklich viel.

Deine Idee ist richtig gut, und tatsächlich habe ich auch schon darüber nachgedacht, ob man das Ganze etwas lokaler aufziehen kann. Gerade der Gedanke mit „Restfilament sinnvoll nutzen“ passt perfekt zu dem, was wir machen.

Ein zentraler Sammelpunkt in Augsburg wäre natürlich großartig – dein Angebot ist da wirklich sehr wertvoll. Vielleicht können wir das gemeinsam mal konkretisieren und schauen, wie man das sinnvoll und unkompliziert umsetzen kann.

Ich melde mich dazu gern nochmal direkt bei dir, wenn das für dich passt :blush:

Vielen Dank auch fürs Mitdenken und deine Unterstützung!

Liebe Grüße
Pascal

Hey, even though my designs would not be a good fit for this, I applaud the initiative and would like to show my support in some way. If the following would help, just send me a DM with your email address I’ll send over a couple of makerworld 40e vouchers so that you can get some filament from the bambu store for the prints you’re making for the kids :wink:

Hey @h3li0 ,

wow — thank you so much, that’s incredibly kind of you.

Support like this really makes a huge difference, especially when it comes to keeping the prints going over time. I truly appreciate you offering this.

I’ll send you a DM shortly with my email address.

Thanks again for being part of this — it means a lot :folded_hands:

Pascal

Hello Mr. DaRock,

I had an idea that I wanted to run past you. Makerworld has competitions every few weeks. Perhaps they could sponsor a competition to make cool products for children at the hospitals you have been speaking about.

If you wish, I will get in contact with them and see what I can do.

Cheers!

Hi,

that’s a really interesting idea — and honestly, it fits very well with the direction this is starting to move towards.

Right now, things are still taking shape in the background, and I’m trying to build something that goes a bit beyond a typical competition.

But your thought about involving the community in creating things for kids in hospitals is exactly the kind of spirit this project is growing into.

Let’s see where this leads — I’ll share more very soon :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you for your support, it really means a lot.

Pascal

Hi, @JamesDaRock

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what pain you’ve been through..

What you have done has actually inspired me to do something similar in Sydney. If I do end up doing it, I will not take the credit as greedy people do, but mention you.

If you ever need a person to speak to, send me a message, and I’ll be more than happy to speak with you, personal or not.

God bless you, man. What you are doing is something more than words. As somebody who has been in the children’s hospital about a hundred times, kids who have had similar experiences to me probably would feel upset.

Once again, bless your soul for doing this,

Cheers, :crossed_fingers: :heart:

Hi @Shadows ,

thank you… really.

Your words mean more than I can properly put into text.

If this project inspires something similar somewhere else in the world — even as far as Sydney — then it’s already doing more than I ever hoped for.

And the fact that you would mention where the idea came from says a lot about the kind of person you are.

I truly appreciate your offer to talk as well. That means more than you might think.

What is happening here right now… it’s slowly becoming something bigger than just me. And messages like yours are a big part of that.

Thank you for being part of this.

Pascal

Of course, man,

As I said, if you need somebody to talk to, most of the community and I will be here for you because this is one of the kindest gestures I’ve ever seen.

In Australia, we are big on giving back to those who have served us, or for those who are ill, I’ll try my best to spread the word of this as much as possible.

I am extremely happy to be part of this charity, and I know for a fact this will spread further. Let’s hope Bambu Lab will see this and help promote it as well..

Cheers, :crossed_fingers:

Hallo Pascal

Kannst dich auch gerne direkt per Nachricht melden, kein Problem.

Das Einzugsgebiet Augsburg ist ja recht groß…denke das stehen einige Drucker rum, die dich vielleicht unterstützen möchten….mal sehen wie wir die aktivieren.

Gruß Jürgen

Hi @Shadows

thank you… really.

What you said about Australia and giving back — that mindset honestly means a lot to me. People like you are exactly the reason why this project feels bigger than just an idea.

Hearing that you want to spread the word, even on the other side of the world, is something I never expected when this all started.

And I have to admit… Australia has always been a place I’ve wanted to see one day — messages like yours are a good reminder of why :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you for being part of this and for your support.

Pascal

Hallo @user_3836262985 ,

vielen Dank dir – das klingt wirklich richtig gut :slightly_smiling_face:

Genau dieser Gedanke, dass es vielleicht auch lokal Menschen gibt, die unterstützen möchten, ist mir die letzten Tage immer wieder durch den Kopf gegangen.

Ich melde mich gern mal direkt bei dir, dann schauen wir in Ruhe, wie man das sinnvoll angehen kann.

Danke dir fürs Mitdenken und deine Offenheit!

Liebe Grüße
Pascal

Sometimes small ideas turn into something truly special.

These dragon eggs and little figures are not just 3D prints —
they are part of a project meant to bring a bit of joy to children after difficult days.

Every box, every piece, every color has a purpose behind it.
And with every print, the project grows just a little further.

A big thank you to all designers and supporters who make something like this possible :heart:

Really interesting to see how people start reaching out and supporting the project in different ways.
Didn’t expect that when I first posted here.
