Inside The 3DTK Workshop
This isn't just a links page - it's a full breakdown of the printers, materials, workshop tools, creator gear, and shipping setup I use daily while building products for 3DTK.

About The Workshop
What I actually do and how I use this equipment.
I run 3DTK where I design and manufacture practical 3D printed products, prototypes, accessories, and workshop tools. Over time I've tested dozens of filaments, printers, accessories, and shipping solutions.
This page contains the gear I personally use in my workflow - not random products added just for affiliate links. Everything here has either helped improve print quality, speed up production, or make my day-to-day workflow better.
Workshop Setup
The main machines and tools powering 3DTK.
Bambu Lab P1S
My main production printer for functional products and rapid prototyping. Perhaps one of the best printers I've owned to date after coming from multiple years owning Ender machines.
Brands We've Worked With
Materials & Workshop Essentials
Everyday supplies I use for printing, packaging, and running 3DTK.
PLA Filament
This is my primary material for most prints. I use PLA for prototypes, functional parts, and finished products because it gives consistent results and is reliable across long print runs.
Why I use it:
• Stable printing with minimal warping
• Clean surface finish for products
• Ideal for repeatable production runs
Neodymium Magnets
These are used in my modular designs and accessories. I rely on them for snap-fit systems, removable panels, and magnetic storage solutions.
Why I use it:
• Strong, consistent hold
• Perfect sizing for modular prints
• Reliable for repeated assembly and disassembly
Shipping Boxes
These are the boxes I use for packing and shipping orders from 3DTK. I've tested multiple sizes and settled on these for efficiency and a great fit for our TCG Point Counters.
Why I use it:
• Optimised for product sizing
• Reduces wasted shipping space
• Strong enough for postal handling
Grey Mailers
These are the grey mailer bags I use to keep my products safe during shipment. I particularly like these ones as they're quite tear-resistant which is important to me.
Why I use it:
• Tear-Resistant
• Plenty of Sizes
White Mailers
These are my primary mailers I use for most of my products, they keep my products nice and secure with their nice bubblewrap lined pockets. Perfect for sending across the globe for some of my counters. I've been using these even before I owned a 3D printer. Fits perfectly for a Large Letter or Small Parcel.
