Summer’s here, school’s out, and the Bambu Lab is running FULL SPEED at Gauge 3D HQ. 🌞🖨️
While everyone else is hitting the beach or the pool, we’re over here turning spools of colorful PLA into the coolest warm-weather gear around. Whether you need something practical, something fun, or something totally unique — there’s a 3D print for it.
Here are 7 awesome things to 3D print this summer (and yes, we can make every single one of these for you!):
1. 🌊 Waterproof Phone Stand for the Pool
Reading by the pool but your phone keeps falling over? A custom waterproof phone stand holds your device at the perfect angle — no more squinting or knocking it into the water. We print ours in PETG for extra water and heat resistance. (Learn about filament types and which is right for your print)
2. 🧴 Sunscreen Clip-On Holder
Tired of digging through your beach bag every five minutes? A clip-on sunscreen holder attaches right to your chair, bag strap, or cooler handle. Small, lightweight, and totally practical — this is exactly the kind of functional print that solves real problems. 💡
3. 🌿 Tropical Plant Pot & Drainage Tray
Summer means plants! A custom 3D printed planter with a matching drainage tray is both functional and beautiful. We can print any shape — geometric, ruffled, minimalist, or full tropical vibes — in your choice of color. Perfect for the patio or the windowsill. 🪴
4. 🎒 Personalized Bag Clip / Luggage Tag
Ever grab the wrong bag at a party or the beach? A personalized bag clip or luggage tag with your name (or favorite emoji!) makes your stuff instantly recognizable. We can customize these with names, logos, or designs through our custom print service. 🎨
5. 🧊 Fun-Shaped Ice Cube Molds
Standard square ice cubes are BORING. 😴 3D printed molds let you make ice in any shape — mini sharks, stars, dinosaurs, team logos, you name it. Fill with water, freeze, pop out, and drop them into your drink for a next-level summer vibe. They also make awesome party gifts!
6. 🎮 Outdoor Game Pieces (Corn Hole, Chess & More!)
Planning a backyard cookout? Level it up with custom game pieces. We print corn hole scorekeepers, giant outdoor chess sets, custom yard dice, and more. Everything’s printed in weather-resistant PETG or ASA so it handles heat and humidity without warping — all summer long. ☀️
7. 🐉 Articulated Fidget Toys (Pool Bag Essential!)
No summer bag is complete without something to fidget with! Our articulated dragons, fidget snakes, and infinity cubes are perfect for long road trips, beach days, and bored kids (and adults 😄). They’re flexible, satisfying to play with, and come in tons of colors — including silk rainbow PLA that shimmers in the sunlight. ✨
