Gifts for 3D Printer Owners: Funny 3D Printing Shirts They'll Actually Wear
Buying for someone who 3D prints is hard. They already own the printer, the spare nozzles, the 40 rolls of filament "for a project" and a drawer full of Benchys. What they don't own is something to wear that shows how deep the hobby goes. That's where a good joke on a soft t-shirt or hoodie wins: it costs less than a spool of the fancy silk PLA, and they'll actually use it.
Here are our favourite gifts for 3D printer owners, grouped by the kind of maker you're buying for. Every one is printed to order in our UK workshop: t-shirts £12.99, sweatshirts and hoodies £22.99.
For the one who never stops printing
- Just One More Print: for the 3am "I'll just start one more before bed" maker.
- I Paused My Print To Be Here: the perfect thing to wear to a family do they'd rather have skipped.
- Yes I Really Do Need All These 3D Printers: for when the "one printer" became four.
