3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is a process where objects are created by adding material layer by layer based on a digital model. This technology allows for the production of complex shapes and structures that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. It's widely used in industries like automotive, healthcare, and aerospace, and is also gaining popularity for custom consumer products, toys, and collectibles. #3DPrinting #Fidgibits #LayerByLayer #TechMadeFun

A 3D printer works by taking a digital file, usually in STL format, and slicing it into horizontal layers. The printer then deposits melted material, such as filament or resin, layer by layer until the object is complete. There are various methods like FDM, SLA, and SLS, each using different materials and technologies. Fidgibits uses FDM printing to create high-quality articulated toys and fidgets. #FDMPrinting #3DPrintingBasics #Fidgibits

3D printing uses a wide variety of materials, each with unique properties. Common materials include PLA (biodegradable and easy to print), ABS (tough and heat-resistant), resins (ideal for high-detail prints), and even metals for industrial parts. Fidgibits primarily prints with colorful PLA to create safe, vibrant toys and fidgets that are both durable and eye-catching. #3DPrintingMaterials #PLA #ColorfulPrints #Fidgibits

The time it takes to 3D print something depends on size, complexity, and printer speed. Small objects like fidgets may take 30–60 minutes, while larger dragons could take 6–8 hours or more. Layer height and infill settings also affect print duration. At Fidgibits, we balance detail with speed to ensure high-quality prints without unnecessary wait. #3DPrintTime #FidgibitsDragons #PrintSmart

3D printing costs vary by material, size, and complexity. Simple prints using PLA are very affordable, while high-detail or large prints can cost more. At Fidgibits, our articulated dragons are $25 flat — no hidden fees, no gimmicks. Want bulk pricing or custom colors? Let’s talk. #3DPrintingCost #AffordablePrints #FidgibitsDeals

Common 3D printing issues include warping (edges lifting), stringing (fine strands between parts), and layer shifting (misaligned print layers). Most of these problems can be fixed with better temperature control, print bed adhesion, or slowing print speed. At Fidgibits, we continually test and adjust our machines to deliver clean, reliable prints. #3DPrintingFixes #FidgibitsQuality #SmoothPrints
