What's included

A whole world, not a color swap.

Included in the $29 package, like every core theme.

The invite

  • An opening title sequence: "Warming up the printer..." "one layer at a time..." "something special is ready."
  • Countdown, the plan and what to bring, in Maker Lab style
  • RSVP extras: "Pick your lab partner"

A plan to start from

  • Lab check-in: Name badges, safety goggles and a lab coat (an old shirt works)
  • Build challenge: Teams build the tallest tower or a marble run from cardboard and tape
  • Fuel up: Pizza, fruit and bolts-and-nuts snack mix
  • Birthday cake: Candles, singing and a wish to invent something big
  • Show and tell: Every team demos their build, and everyone takes theirs home

The fun stuff

  • Tangle Busters: Filament tangles are drifting toward the printer! Drag to move your build crew; they fire freshly printed cubes on their own.
  • 3D-print opening: the age, the name and a mascot, printed live
  • Build-challenge party plan
  • Print job pass for every guest
