3D printing is a fantastic technology that allows kids to bring their creative ideas to life. But in order to get the most out of your 3D printer, you need to have the right accessories. From filaments to software, there are a plethora of options available, making it hard to decide which ones to invest in. In this blog post, we will be taking a look at the best 3D printer accessories for kids that will help them to get the most out of their 3D printing experience.

Filament
One of the most important accessories for a 3D printer is filament. Filament is the material that is used to create the object that is being printed. There are a variety of filaments available, including ABS, PLA, and TPU.

Each filament has its own unique properties and is suitable for different projects. For kids, it's recommended to go for filaments that are non-toxic and easy to work with, such as PLA.

Software
Another important aspect of 3D printing is the software used to create the object. There are a variety of software options available, including free and paid options. For kids, it's recommended to use a software that is user-friendly and easy to understand. Some popular options include Tinkercad and SketchUp. These software have a user-friendly interface and allow kids to easily create and edit 3D models.
Build Plate
The build plate is the surface on which the 3D printer creates the object. It is important to have a build plate that is level and stable, in order to ensure that the object is printed correctly. There are a variety of build plates available, including glass, aluminum, and magnetic build plates. Magnetic build plates are a great option for kids, as they are easy to remove the finished object from the build plate.
