Behind the Prints: The 3D Printers That Bring WOBBL3D to Life
At WOBBL3D, every adorable mini fidget toy starts as an idea—but turning that idea into reality takes precision, creativity, and the right tools. Since starting our 3D printing journey in October 2024, we've carefully expanded our setup to ensure the best quality and efficiency for our designs. Today, we’re excited to share a behind-the-scenes look at the powerhouse machines that bring our creations to life!
Our 3D Printing Journey
Our journey began with a single Bambu P1S—a fantastic printer that set the foundation for what WOBBL3D has become. As demand grew and we fine-tuned our process, we added another P1S and then a Bambu X1C, a high-performance machine known for its speed and accuracy. Fast forward to today, and our workshop is now home to four P1S printers and one X1C, each playing a crucial role in bringing our cute, high-quality designs to life.
Why We Chose Bambu Lab Printers
When selecting our 3D printers, we knew we needed machines that could keep up with our vision. Here’s why the Bambu P1S and X1C were the perfect fit:
-
Speed & Efficiency – The P1S printers allow us to produce multiple mini fidget toys quickly without sacrificing detail.
-
High Precision – The X1C takes things to the next level with incredible accuracy, ensuring even the smallest details come out perfectly.
-
Multi-Color & Multi-Material Capabilities – Both printers work seamlessly with a range of filament colors, helping us create vibrant, eye-catching designs.
-
Reliability – We needed printers we could trust to deliver consistent results, and Bambu Lab’s machines have proven to be rock-solid in our daily operations.

From Concept to Print
So, how do we turn an idea into one of WOBBL3D’s signature mini fidget toys? Here’s a quick breakdown:
-
Sourcing Designs – We have a subscription or commercial license with talented designers who create the 3D models we bring to life.
-
Slicing & Printing – Using Bambu Lab’s software, we optimize the print settings for quality and efficiency. The P1S and X1C take care of the rest, layer by layer.
-
Post-Processing – Once printed, we inspect, clean, and test each piece to ensure it meets our standards before sending it to its new home.
What’s Next?
As WOBBL3D continues to grow, we’re always exploring new ways to innovate and improve. Whether it’s testing new materials, refining our print settings, or expanding our product line, our goal remains the same: to bring you the cutest, highest-quality 3D-printed toys possible.
