Craft, activity and play ideas

I’ve spent the last few years bouncing between FDM, SLA, and SLS, and each one really shaped how I think about material properties and long-term stability. FDM has always been my go-to when I need something quick and functional—strong enough for prototypes, but the layer lines can hold you back on fine details. SLA feels almost magical with its accuracy and smooth surfaces, though the resins can be a bit sensitive to sunlight over time. SLS impressed me the most for durability and complex geometries, especially when I started printing more elaborate models I’d found on platforms like https://www.gambody.com/. That’s where I realized how different technologies can actually bring out different strengths in the exact same design. For anyone trying to choose a direction, it helps to think about whether precision, strength, or speed matters most for the kind of models you want to create.
