3D Print Your Life is one of the projects supported by The Sandbox's Game Maker Fund. Learn more about this fantastic simulation and business management game that is exclusive to The Sandbox.

3D Print Your Life is a game that is being developed by a designer called Erica Wagner, who is also known in the community as ScienceHerWay. Read more about this exciting development.

About the game

3D Print your life is a game that is set inside a 3D printing shop. You are an employee of this shop and will need to fulfil people's orders.

Based on the CNC concept (Computer Numerical Control), a 3D printer allows you to build objects by printing them. Although 3D printing has been around for several years, it has only just very recently become easily accessible to everyone. You can create a complete world using this machine. It’s like The Sandbox Game itself, and we love this game’s mix of science, building, education, and fun.

Combining science with gaming opens the door for people of all ages and backgrounds to experience the educational side of gaming and the fun side of science. It also allows for people to experiment with different fields of science in a safe and economical way, allowing them to discover new things while learning in this safe environment.

Game objectives

The objective of the game is to manage the day-to-day running of a 3D printing shop by fulfilling and delivering orders from customers correctly and within a timely fashion.

Along the way, you'll learn how people use 3D printing differently and how it impacts their lives. Manage your time wisely, help the business grow, and change people's lives.

You'll work alongside colleagues and will meet over 15 NPCs. Each NPC will have their own unique story as well as their own unique orders from the 3D Print Shop. Sometimes customers will not visit the shop to collect their completed orders, so you will need to either deliver them yourself or send them out in the mail.

The Creator

3D Print Your Life is being developed by science-y Erica Wagner, who is also known in The Sandbox community as ScienceHerWay.

Here's what she had to say:

“Hey there! I’m Erica and I’m making the game 3D Print Your Life. You will meet people from different backgrounds requesting items they need to be printed in order to enhance their life. Are you ready for the challenge?"

We also had an interview with the creator. Check this out.

Why are people going to love the game?

This game has a diverse cast of people who use 3D printing in their lives. I believe this game will excite people when they see a character that looks like them when they haven’t seen that before in a game. This is going to facilitate conversations.

What do you like the most about the development of this game?

I loved figuring out how to make a human that complied with the human size guidelines before we as creators had access to the medium human template. I needed a way to make sure my objects were to scale. Sure, I knew a medium human was slightly shorter than two blocks (or 64 voxels) but that didn’t tell me where their waist was to compare table heights too. It was a fun challenge of only having promotional images and guidelines to go off of for making my human NPCs.

What things about VoxEdit / Game Maker helped you generate this new experience?

It was helpful already having rigged and animated human templates in VoxEdit. This made it easy to quickly test the different pieces. As an artist, it was exciting to watch my human NPCs come to life. What was really nice about the Game Maker was how user friendly it is to mock up a level for a game. It reminds me of building Minecraft adventure maps with my brother, but with more power and functionality to add for different assets.

The Game Maker Fund has allowed me to create a game right now, instead of just starting my game developer journey in 2023. With college on my plate at the time, I didn’t think I could make room or devote energy to learning how to make games. This opportunity has shown me I can start learning right now, and that I don’t have to wait to finish my higher level education before working on my life goals.

Let’s print a new world — available exclusively in The Sandbox

The Sandbox Game is a community-driven gaming platform that empowers game makers to create, publish, and monetize a myriad of unique experiences on a decentralized platform with cryptocurrency payments.

Our development team is constantly working to make The Sandbox a game-making experience that will stand out as a new standard in world-building games, with millions of user-created 3D voxel assets and games available as NFTs on the blockchain.

Our Game Maker’s Fund supports artists from all over the world to help them create amazing experiences in the Game Maker…

Let’s see another of the games supported by The Sandbox Game!

Have you ever tried a 3D printer? Based on the CNC concept (Computer Numerical Control) a 3D printer helps you to build solid objects. 3D printing has been around for several years but only in more recent years has it become more accessible for everyday people. You can create a complete world using this machine. It’s like The Sandbox Game itself, and we love this game’s mix of science, building, education, and fun.

3D Print your life is a game where you work at a 3D printing shop meeting all kinds of people who use 3D printing to fulfill their different orders.

A variety of things could be built with a 3D printer, in areas like medicine, arts, design, and more. And that’s the main focus of this game.

Through the game you will learn about different types of 3D machines, the filaments, and the things you could create while playing. When you combine science with gaming, you open the door for people of all ages and backgrounds to experience the educational side of gaming and the fun side of science. With gaming, this also allows for people to experiment with different science fields in a safe and economical way. With science this allows people to discover new things while learning about various subjects in an engaging and non-complicated way.

From 3D printing prosthetics to toys, there are various items customers will order. But not every person uses 3D printing the same way or for its intended purpose.

You’ll work with your boss and coworker but you’ll also meet 15+ NPCs, each with their own stories and orders. Customers won’t always come by the shop to pick up their orders, you’ll have to deliver some orders by mail or in person.

All the assets bring to life the different ideas, objects, and creations.

Eight months after I bought the Ender, I'm summarizing his upgrades to date. Now this hardy printer works for me with a direct extruder, with a water cooling system and an active thermal chamber. It prints confidently with ABS, the most flexible Flex and "Nylon.htp". For the sake of what, in fact, the tuning of the printer was carried out.

I'm 60, I'm a typical Soviet kulibin and I bought Ender 3 to make cases for electronics, parts for household appliances and various mechanisms. In...

Finished the thermal camera for the printer. It took a long time and thoroughly, but the result is worth it.

Base - welded frame made of square tube and angle. Then the concrete slab was poured. Walls made of foam blocks 50mm. Double glass. The electronics is taken out separately and is blown by two fans with separate power supply. Illumination - LED strip. A halogen spotlight is installed for heating.

The structure is located on the veranda, where there is no heating yet, so the thermal insulation. ..

Dear 3D lovers, I greet you!

This post will touch upon the processes that take place inside the printed part. And further, with a deeper understanding, it will become easier for you to take preventive measures that will lead to better and less problematic printing, no matter what plastic you use.

And so we will touch upon such phenomena as shrinkage, warpage, segregation and the negative factors arising from them.

P.S.

Hello everyone!

I'm starting to cover the process of assembling a 3D printer of my own design. I came to the realization of this idea after a long time. I got acquainted with 3D printing 4 years ago, when, after a long choice, I bought a Prusa i3 steel assembly kit. I assembled it in a week, then set it up and finished it for another year, as a result I got a more or less working device. I pulled the maximum out of the pryushi design and wanted something better. Read reviews of new commercial printers, private projects,...

Greetings. Not very long ago I assembled a printer for the Plastmaska ​​project. Compared to the previous drygostol, this is, of course, a spaceship. But here's the console table, it's still evil. Yes, it can be configured in principle. Yes, the setting does not even go astray. Yes, due to the mass of the entire moving part, the play of Chinese bearings is selected. But when printing, due to the low rigidity, the printer waves the table like a mosquito with its wings, well, it’s dumb to touch this design once again, it is so elastic. I propose another version of dora ...

Interesting news was told to us from the village of Koshkino, Vasilkovo district, Saratov region.

Gosha Fomkin, a student of the 4th grade of a secondary village school, suggested using pasta as a rod for 3D printing!

Rather, not pasta, but "pasta".

But first things first.

As Gosha himself explained, this idea came to him in the dining room, at lunchtime. Then we tried it with the guys and it worked! The fact is that when...

Greetings to all!

I want to tell you about an interesting experience. I recently bought a printer, but I immediately set my sights on printing PETG, because for my purposes I need a more stable material than PLA.

Of course, I immediately ran into the problem of sticking, and to such an extent hopelessly that I managed to kill one nozzle - not because of the plastic, as it turned out later, but this does not make it any easier. I tried all the widely described methods - varnish, glue stick, glue ...

A large detail was printed, for 13 hours, no one interfered with it until I remembered, or rather the client wrote "what's with the meat grinder?". Immediately I began to look for a solution, as I promised to do today, and today a large order of 4 large blanks for the springs of the jeep is already being printed (it was printed in yellow PET-G, but it was unexpectedly not enough, since I noticed it in time and added black PET-G )

In general, the decision was made to stop printing, but I didn’t want to take it off (then put it back - the whole piece. ..
