The 405 3D Saga: From Filament Fiascos to Print Farm Glory
Buckle up, because 405 3D didn’t just wake up one day as Newcastle’s go-to for drip chains that dangle destiny and dragons that demand dragonhood—we clawed our way there, one warped layer at a time. It all kicked off in a garage haze of “why not?” vibes, hit a screeching pause button courtesy of a rogue printer and pint-sized saboteurs, then exploded back with enough father-son spark to melt the your heart. We’re talking garage tinkering turned empire blueprint, where every setback was just setup for the comeback. Scroll through our timeline below to witness the glow-up: from solo nozzle heroics to a print squad that’s hungrier than a fidget on deadline.
Picture this: 2020. You snag a Creality Ender-3 Pro because, hey, who doesn’t want to summon household heroes like vacuum hooks and fidget toys? Prints fly for a hot minute—decor that doesn’t ghost you, toys that keep the tiny tornadoes at bay. Then… plot derail. Printer gremlins strike, kids can’t quit messing with it during prints to the point it becomes more frustrating than fun and poof—shelved.
Fast-forward to 2024. Enter Walter, the mini-mastermind with big business dreams. New printer, fresh filament, zero mercy for the pause button. We’re printing non-stop: school spirit drip chains that scream ‘Go Team!’ and articulating dragons that could bench-press your doubts.
Boom—printer #2 joins the party, cranking production like it’s auditioning for a sequel. Now with double the printers, production kicks things into overdrive.
