3D Printer
My favorite ever 3D printer to use (highly recommended for anyone & everyone, especially beginners & first timers!!)
The first and only 3D printer I have ever used. I’ve had this printer for about 4 months now and have it running 24/7 and it’s still going super strong! It’s super easy to use and has minimal setup and maintenance, making it perfect for beginners. Th...
Bambu Lab A1 Mini 3D Printer & AMS Lite
PLA Filament
A few of my favorite brands/types of PLA filament to use. I have only used PLA filament with my 3D printer so far due to it having less fumes than other materials of filament. I also make sure to only purchase 1kg rolls of filament, as I believe only...
SUNLU is my favorite brand of affordable PLA filament to use! I absolutely love the sleekness of the reusable spool, it slides onto the Bambu A1 Mini AMS with ease. They have many different colors of filament to choose from. I’m personally always goi...
SUNLU High Speed PLA Filament 1.75mm, 1KG Pink
Another type of SUNLU PLA filament. Honestly… I’m not for sure what the “technical” difference between PLA Plus and PLA High Speed is, but I’ve used them both many times and they both work equally well! This listing also has a few different colors co...
SUNLU PLA Plus Filament 1.75mm Black 1KG
Another SUNLU listing… but this filament is different, it’s Silk PLA+. This filament has a beautiful metallic sheen to it, I really love it. I’ve personally only used the Silver color and it looks just like metal when printed! I was able to make a re...
SUNLU Silk PLA+ 1.75mm Chrome Gloss 1kg
This Overture Silk Gold PLA filament is super beautiful and affordable!! This is actually the only color of Overture brand filament that I’ve ever used, so I was a bit skeptical when I first purchased it. It is super hard to find silk gold filament, ...
OVERTURE Silk PLA 1.75mm 1kg Silk Gold
I’m honestly not even sure what brand filament this is, but the amethyst color is so beautiful and looks so pretty on completed prints. This filament changes between shades of blue & purple, and the little specks of glitter throughout it make it ...
Translucent Rainbow Dreamy Crystal PLA 1.75mm
Accessories
My favorite accessories & tools used when assembling completed 3D prints.
Not all super glues are made the same, and this gorilla glue is the absolute best brand of super glue that I’ve used!! The applicator makes it easy to precisely place dabs of glue & the glue to liquid, but not too runny. I use this glue to hold t...
Gorilla Super Glue, Fast-Setting, 4-3g Tubes
I love these lobster claw clips! You can get 60 at a time for only $6!! I use these to turn my 3D prints into keychains and they are the perfect size and a great price.
LEOBRO 60PCS Lobster Claw Clasps & Key Rings
Some of my favorite keyboard switches to use in my 3D printed clickers. These switches have fit perfectly into every single clicker I’ve tried them in. They aren’t a harsh, crunchy clicker, but more of a buttery, soft & subtle clicker. They are s...
Akko V3 Creamy Blue 5-Pin Tactile Switches (45pcs)
Another awesome option for switches to use in clickers. Like the above switches, these also have a very subtle click, however they are a bit harsher & not as buttery. They have been able to fit in most of the clickers that I make, but I have occa...
Kailh Box White 3-Pin 45gf Clicky Switches
