What is the Toy Festival?
V3D’s Toy Festival is an event where toys are 3D printed for kids for free. The toys are then delivered by partners in participating organizations.
Who can participate?
Toy Festival is only partnering with local organizations. Contact V3D via email if your group or organization would like to participate in a Toy Festival event.
Toy Safety Disclaimer
V3D has selected toys with safety in mind. However, toys are designed by individuals, sometimes in other countries, and therefore have not been submitted to safety testing. It is up to the child’s responsible adult to pick a toy appropriate for the child based on their age and maturity.
All toys are created with materials which are safe for human contact such as PLA, PETG, and TPU. Toys have also been selected to have minimal small parts or pointy features.
Participants in the Toy Festival accept responsibility for their toy selections, as well as the use or misuse of the toys they select.
How to Participate
Send A Gift
Complete the Toy Festival gift form to sign a child up to receive a gift. Gift recipients must be 18 years of age or younger. Use the password provided by your organization to access the form.
Remember that V3D does not distribute toys. If you are not part of a participating organization you may not receive the gift that was requested.
Donate A Gift
You can make a donation by purchasing a spool of filament from the Toy Festival wishlist on Amazon. These spools of filament are the raw material used to 3D print the toys. Other donations such as toys or money are appreciated, but not accepted at this time.
Each spool of filament will produce at least 10 toys. Depending on the cost of the spool, each toy is created at a cost of $1-$3 per toy. Any leftover material is saved for future events.
If you have trouble picking a spool here are some tips:
- Pick the spool that is within your budget.
- Pick the color you like the most.
- Or pick a bundle with several colors.

FAQ
Is V3D a registered charity or non-profit organization?
No. V3D organizes Toy Festival events when printers are idle and because it’s a nice thing to do. It does not operate as a charity or any other kind of special organization.
I don’t like Amazon. Can I still make a donation?
Yes. Contact V3D via email with the subject line “Toy Festival Donation” and you will receive information for making a donation.
