Print-A-Kit is a cool new kind of experience that is both easy, interactive, and fun for all ages. But what makes it better than your average science and engineering kits? First of all, you get to 3D print them yourself, which is more interactive and fun then just getting pre-made parts. Plus, you can choose what color to print the kits in to match your own unique style or preferences.

Print-A-Kit is perfect for all ages, whether you are retired and looking for something new to print, simply appreciate science and engineering, are just getting into 3D printing, or are looking for a family-friendly experience where you learn by doing. Print-A-Kit STL are thoroughly tested to make the whole experience seamless.

ACCESS TO UP TO 10 3D PRINTABLE KITS EACH MONTH

Each month, we release a curated selection of 3D-printable educational kits. This includes brand-new designs, as well as many returning favorites that stay available across multiple months, sometimes with updates and improvements based on customer feedback. Think of it as a monthly drop: fresh, exciting, and always evolving.

If you happen to miss a kit, don’t worry. Popular kits often remain available or make a comeback in future months, usually even better than before. At the end of each month, some kits rotate into our vault so we can rework and refine them using real customer feedback. This keeps our collection feeling fun, thoughtful, and full of surprises, so there’s always something new to look forward to.

Peek Inside Some of Our Curated Build Experiences:

Floating Arm Trebuchet

One of the most efficient trebuchet designs in the world. Fully 3D printable and ready to explore.

Everything you need to build and explore this fascinating projectile-launching machine is included. Discover the mechanics behind one of history’s most powerful siege engines while assembling it yourself. Perfect for learning, experimenting, and having fun with physics and engineering. All parts pack neatly into the compact and portable Print-A-Kit box, ready for your next launch anywhere.

Insanely High Gear Ratios

How many gears can you spin? And how fast can you get it to spin?!

Experience the challenge of extreme mechanical advantage with this high gear ratio gearbox. With each turn, the final gear moves slowly as energy transfers through multiple stages. It's incredibly hard to spin fast by hand, which makes it even more satisfying to try. Test your strength, feel the torque, and explore real-world mechanics in action.

Single-Pallet Escapement

Who doesn’t enjoy the satisfying click of a classic mechanical clock?

3D print this unique escapement mechanism and experience how mechanical clocks really work. Watch as the pendulum swings, the gears turn, and the escape wheel ticks forward one tooth at a time. This hands-on project lets you explore the inner workings of timekeeping with real moving parts. It even includes a fully 3D printable spring, so the entire mechanism runs without any extra hardware.

Build, Learn and Have Fun

Build your 3D printed creation with our detailed digital build guides and educational resources and videos!

My son and I love the kits. He was just learning about gear ratios prior to the kit coming out, what a hit.

Print-A-Kit are so much fun! I got them for my son to learn and play but I think I have had just as much fun as him! They are just as much fun to build and assemble as they are to play with. It is cool seeing all the gears and parts work together. I think the Trebuchet is probably our dogs favorite because we have used it to launch dog treats across the house.

Print-A-Kit 2.0 from 3D Printer Academy is absolutely fantastic! The kits are brilliantly designed, well thought out, and incredibly engaging to print and assemble. The files are optimized for easy printing, the instructions are clear, and the projects strike the perfect balance between fun and educational. My students love how hands-on and interactive the builds are it’s a great way to teach problem-solving, mechanical thinking, and creativity. I’ve tried a lot of different 3D printing resources, and Print-A-Kit 2.0 stands out as one of the very best. It makes 3D printing accessible, exciting, and meaningful. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to bring real innovation and engagement into their classroom, makers pace, or home workshop!

I'm in the midst of printing the insanely high gear ratios and they are so easy to print and assemble. I can't stop spinning the gears while I wait for the next couple of sets to complete. As a repeat client of 3D Printer Academy products I can't say enough good things about their kindness, quality, and integrity.

Kits are great wish you would make covers that slide in as they are hard to package for resake. If the covers slide in we can srill stack them.
