About Toys by George
Toys by George started the way all the best ideas do
with an 11 year old, a 3D printer, and a house full of people saying,
“Wait… can you make me one of those?”
George is a creative, animal obsessed goofball who got his first 3D printer for his 11th birthday and hasn’t stopped printing since. What started as making gifts for family and friends quickly turned into something bigger when all his buddies at school started asking for their own.
So he did what any future entrepreneur would do
he started his first business.
How It Works
George doesn’t design the models himself. He does something just as important.
He tracks down the cool stuff.
If it sparks imagination, feels fun to play with, or gets a strong reaction from his friends at school, it makes the cut. From fidgets to creatures to anything you can use to build a full blown battle scene, George is always testing, tweaking, and adding new favorites.
Every toy is

Color matched, and yes, turquoise is usually involved

Behind the Scenes
This is not just a hobby. George runs the entire process himself.
He researches new designs, works the slicer, chooses sizes and colors, and plans out his prints so the machine is running almost nonstop.
Big prints run while he is at school or sleeping.
Smaller ones run back to back when he is home.
If the printer is on, George is close by, watching it like a hawk.
Why He’s Doing This
George has big plans.
He is already saving for his first car, yes, really, and Toys by George is his way of learning how to build something of his own from the ground up.
But more than that, he just loves it.
He loves finding new prints.
He loves seeing what people react to.
And he really loves showing up to school with something new to test out.
