Think Big: Building Larger Creations with a Kids' 3D Printer.

Your child’s 3D printer may fit neatly on a desk, but their imagination? That’s a whole different universe.
Kids dream about building castles that are taller than them, bridges that span the table, or planets that spin in orbit—things that seem way too big and too complicated for a compact printer.

Here’s the secret: they can make them.
With a little creativity (and a clever trick called modular printing), even a small printer like the Kidoodle MiniBox A1 can bring big ideas to life. By printing pieces separately and joining them together, kids can go far beyond the limits of the build plate—unlocking projects that are taller, wider, and way more exciting.

What Is Modular Printing?

Instead of printing one giant model in a single go, modular printing breaks it down into smaller, manageable parts. Think of it like building with LEGO®—each block is small, but together they form something incredible.

Real Examples Kids Can Make

Rotating Solar System Model – Print planets, arms, and a base separately, then assemble into a working model of our solar system.


Lighthouse – Create the tower, balcony, and top light housing as separate parts, then stack them up.


Windmill – Print the base, tower, and spinning blades, then attach them for a moving display.


Clock – Print the 4 pieces of the clock body, dial and hands separately, and then assemble them into a usable clock.


London Bridge – Build each section, then connect for an impressive display piece.

Why It’s Perfect for the MiniBox A1

High Precision – With a 0.04mm layer height, parts fit together smoothly.
Fast Printing – Speeds up to 600mm/s, meaning kids don’t have to wait forever for big builds.
Safe & Easy – The enclosed design with a child lock keeps hands safe, and the touchscreen and app control make operation simple.

Modular printing doesn’t just make larger creations possible—it also builds problem-solving and planning skills. Kids learn how to design in sections, measure for perfect fits, and bring complex ideas to life step by step.

So, the next time your child dreams up something “too big” for their printer, remember—big ideas need a little breaking down. The Kidoodle MiniBox A1 will take care of the rest.
