Gone are the days where 3D printing was too technical for the average maker. Some budget 3D printers<\/a> are now usable for even young children, and parents are increasingly turning to 3D printers for kids to help them get ahead in engineering and math, while also having a great time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good 3D printer for kids needs to be super safe, and as easy to use as possible. Kids are curious \u2013 sometimes dangerously so \u2013 so it’s extremely important to keep any hot, sharp, or otherwise harmful parts away from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple and safe is better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All our recommendations are plug’n’play FDM 3D printers<\/a> you can get straight to printing within 15 minutes of opening the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We haven’t recommended any resin 3D printers<\/a> for kids. They’re more complex, and the resin materials and fumes can be irritant. We also don’t recommend any technical 3D printer kits<\/a> as assembling them can be tricky and intimidating, and any 3D printer for kids should be as simple as possible to set up and use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also link to a few fun articles at the end for cool printing projects your kids will love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
