ONE YEAR OF PRINT ENABLE. ONE YEAR.
WHAT EVEN IS THIS CHAOS!
Twelve months ago Print Enable was a brand with a plan. Now it is a business fuelled by an unreasonable amount of filament, two people who apparently cannot leave a perfectly good idea alone and enough printer maintenance to qualify as a side quest nobody asked for.
We started with one 3x3 gazebo, a few Hatchlings and a table half-filled with Character Balls. Look at us now. A full 6x3 setup with tables full of both and somehow we are still finding things to add.
We still laugh to ourselves about our first Troppo market where we had one car park space. ONE. Now we have THREE. Apparently the business equivalent of defeating a boss is being rewarded with two extra car parks.
Somewhere along the way this little adventure turned into hundreds of colours of filament, dragons with more colour combinations than a dice goblin has dice and Character Balls that require an entire colour-planning department of approximately two people.
We have printed fidgets, clickers, dragons, dice towers, deck vaults, card holders, accessibility items and enough other things to keep our ideas rolling initiative long after sensible people have gone to bed.
We have taken Print Enable on the road, met some absolutely brilliant people, made new friends, returned to familiar markets and tried new events. We have watched things we have created find their way into homes all over the place and honestly that still makes us pretty happy.
We have also given away thousands of mini fidgets, supported our community and donated our time, materials and a frankly questionable number of printer hours to things that matter to us.
Because this was never just about making plastic things.
It is about inclusion. It is about community. It is about making things people enjoy and things people can use. It is about remembering that a small business can still do something meaningful without needing to be the biggest name in the room.
And yes, we care about the details.
Every item is printed, assembled where needed, quality checked and accounted for. If something is not right it does not get a free pass just because it took hours to print. We would rather scrap a dodgy batch than send something out that we would not happily put our own name on.
We know we are not the cheapest option for every product and we are not trying to be. There will always be someone willing to race to the bottom, print an entire rainbow in one colour and call it a day or treat quality control like an optional expansion pack.
That is fine. Everyone gets to choose their own play style and ours just happens to involve multicolour prints, licensed designs, quality checks and two people who would rather redo something than hope nobody notices.
Have we got everything perfect? Absolutely not. We are still learning, tweaking, upgrading, occasionally questioning our life choices and discovering new ways to fill every available surface with stock.
But we have built something we are genuinely proud of.
A real business. A growing little community. A brand that gets to be unapologetically us. And a customer base that keeps coming back, recommends us to others and gives us a reason to keep making the next thing.
So to everyone who has bought something, shared a post, stopped for a chat at a market, grabbed a free mini fidget, supported our little corner of the 3D printing world or simply cheered us on from the sidelines...
Thank you. You are a pretty important part of this campaign.
From one little 3x3 gazebo and a handful of Hatchlings to a 6x3 setup, three Troppo car parks and a growing collection of printers that apparently need upgrading every time we blink.or when Adam discovers new printers about to be released!
We genuinely would not be here without the people who have supported us along the way.
Year one is done. The next campaign is now in motion and we have big plans for the next 12 months! There are new releases to make, more markets to visit, more colours to acquire and an entirely unreasonable number of ideas still sitting on the whiteboard.
We came here to make cool stuff.
Apparently we also came here to build an empire one tiny layer at a time.
Happy first birthday, Print Enable!!
May our layers stay smooth, our nozzles stay clear, our dice roll favourably and our storage room finally learn some boundaries....
Although looking at the filament collection, that last one might require divine intervention.
