Anyone else take over their kids hobby? 🤦🏼‍♀️

When my kids first got their 3D printer last Christmas, they honestly had no clue how to operate it, so naturally, I ended up diving in to learn everything myself first. It quickly turned from a helpful task into a full-blown passion. Now we have not one but two 3D printers in action, and they seem to run nonstop, bringing endless possibilities for new creations. One of the best parts is seeing my son start designing his own 3D models after watching and learning from me. It’s amazing how this shared hobby has sparked his creativity and technical skills in a practical way. Having invested in a Bambu Labs P1S recently, equipped with an incredible timelapse camera, it’s been super fun to film and share the printing process — it adds a dynamic visual layer to the experience. For anyone thinking about introducing 3D printing into their families, I highly recommend starting with simple projects that kids can relate to, like toys or small household gadgets. It makes the whole learning curve less intimidating and much more enjoyable. Also, don’t be afraid to explore the community forums and hashtags like #3dprintedtoys or #bambulab for inspiration and support. Trust me, once you start, it’s hard to stop. Every print is an opportunity to learn something new and have fun together, making it more than just a hobby — it becomes a creative bonding experience for the whole family.
