What is a “PrintABlok”?

As the PrintABlok battle rages on a new opponent emerges from the wild to join the fight. It’s PrintABlok:Beasts the new construction sets for your home 3D printer. 3D print and build your favorites, or mix and match parts with other sets to invent your own awesome creations.

3D Printers are awesome. But they have trouble printing common interlocking building blocks. PrintABlok was my answer to this problem, creating a building block that would:

  • Print successfully on most home 3D printers
  • Function, even with machine inaccuracies
  • Would allow building in 3 dimensions

PrintABlok does all this and more!

And PrintABlok is remarkable because it can’t be mass produced. it can only be made with 3D printing. It takes advantage of the unique strengths of 3D printing to make something that can truly democratize manufacturing and fulfill 3D printing’s promise to the world!

And it all starts with this simple little cube.

The base PrintABlok set, all you need to get started with PrintABlok, is available on major 3D printing repositories now, and can be used like 3 dimensional voxel building bloks.

But, PrintABlok is more than just the base block, and if you really want to build on it, you’re going to need… accessories.

The first accessory pack, PrintABlok:Mechs, debuted last year on Kickstarter to great acclaim and success. This year I’m introducing a new expansion…
This kickstarter will see the creation an additional library of awesome assets to add to the PrintABlok library and can be used to build anything you can imagine. New articulated connectors with animal based decorative elements that can create new ways to play.
You decide!
For every stretch goal reached, a new set will be developed, including new custom bloks and accessories. And after the kickstarter, you’ll never be able to get this set at this price again.
If you’ve been a part of one of my kickstarters before, you know it’s an interactive experience with you getting to choose what I’ll work on next, setting the course and scope of this project through frequent updates, polls, and livestreams.
Buckle up, because a 3DPProfessor kickstarter is more than just a fund raising drive, it’s a thrill ride!
