From Hours to Minutes: The Fastest 3D Printing Experience for Young Creators

3D printing is a fantastic way to spark kids’ creativity, but long print times can be a real challenge. Standard entry-level 3D printers usually run at around 60–100 mm/s for best results, meaning even a small model can take an hour or more. By contrast, rapid printing lets young makers quickly see their ideas come to life — and that’s exactly what the Kidoodle MiniBox A1 delivers. With speeds of up to 600 mm/s, this printer turns projects that used to take hours into creations finished in mere minutes.

Printing Speeds: Typical vs. Ultra-Fast

  • Normal (recommended) speed: Around 60–100 mm/s on most hobby or family-friendly 3D printers — a balance between quality and stability.
  • Manufacturer's “maximum” speed: Many consumer printers advertise up to 100–300 mm/s, though these are often theoretical peaks.
  • Kidoodle MiniBox A1: A true exception in the category, running at up to 600 mm/s — roughly 6× faster than average printers, and without compromising print quality.

While most printers are limited to moderate speeds, the MiniBox A1’s top-tier performance means a job that would normally take two hours could be done in just over 20 minutes.

Real Print Examples: From Idea to Object — Fast!

Embossed Cup — approx. 45 minutesLittle Ghost Figure — approx. 20 minutesToy Bicycle Model — approx. 45 minutesModern Chair — approx. 30 minutes

With many traditional printers, each of these might take two or three times as long. With the MiniBox A1, your child can start a project after school and show off the finished result before dinner!

Why Speed Matters for Young Creators

Fast printing isn't just about convenience — it's about keeping kids inspired. When they have to wait hours to see their designs come to life, excitement can fade. But when the turnaround is quick, every idea feels possible. Kids stay focused, engaged, and ready to learn more.

Speed also means more experimentation. Children can tweak their designs and print multiple versions in a single afternoon. Whether it’s for play, learning, or both, rapid results help fuel creativity, confidence, and joy.
