3DA Out in the Wild · Printopia 2026

We Took 3DA to Printopia.

Philadelphia · September 26–27, 2026

For one weekend, 3D Addicts stepped out from behind the screens and into Printopia—bringing our community, our prints and a whole lot of purple and green to Philadelphia.

From Online to IRL

Years of Chats. First-Time Hellos.

Some 3DA members had known each other online for years before Printopia gave them the chance to finally meet face-to-face. What had been usernames, Discord conversations, Whatnot shows and late-night chats suddenly became real-life hugs, laughs and a weekend spent together.

Our Home Base

A Little Piece of 3DA in Philly.

The 3DA booth became home base for the weekend—packed with prints from across the community and plenty of reasons to stop by. We met new people, handed out micro giveaways and welcomed new faces into the 3DA Discord along the way.

There’s Always Something You Didn’t Know You Could Print.

Beyond the booth, Printopia was packed with ideas. The team met designers, connected with filament brands and saw everything from familiar favorites to builds that pushed 3D printing in directions they hadn’t expected.

Meeting the Makers

Designers, brands and people behind the things we print.

Pushing the Limits

Robots, props, machines and builds that went way beyond the print bed.

New Ideas Everywhere

A weekend full of things to take home, try and talk about later.

New Faces + Familiar Names

The People Made the Weekend.

Printopia wasn’t just about seeing what people make. It was a chance to meet designers, creators, businesses and fellow 3D-printing enthusiasts—and finally put faces to names many of us already knew online.

Until Next Time

Philly, We’ll See You in 2027.

The booth is packed up, everyone is back home and Discord is back to being our usual meeting place. But after a weekend like this, we’re already looking forward to doing it again.
