Getting bored with this lockdown? Allow the power of 3D Scanning to unleash these 3 creative hobby ideas.

If you are done replaying the ‘Friends’ series for the 50th time, it’s time to find some lockdown hobby ideas to give rest to your fingers from constant scrolling on social media!

Since the first national shut down, we have exhausted all our best pass-time ideas right from becoming Instagram photographers to becoming master chefs with our ‘Dalgona coffees’!

Once again, we are stuck in the same spot but this time, we must try something new to keep our roaring minds and racing hearts steady! Wondering what’s that? It’s 3D printing!

3D printing isn’t just about making things. It’s about thinking, ideating, learning, creating, finding new solutions to complex problems, and actively participating in the world of technology!

And the best part is that you could not only pursue hobby ideas but you could also use it as an opportunity to build a base for your own 3D printing small business. We have a list of top 3 hobby ideas to get you motivated and inspired with 3D scanning!

3D Printed Kitchenware

No fine dining and a general scepticism for ordering food from outside means a lovely family cooking time. But that also means a little messier kitchen. Not just that, chances are higher that the lovely cutlery stand that you kept using carefully for a long time gets broken! And maybe some pegs, holders begin to get damaged too.

But you don’t have to worry when you have a 3D printer is at home.

If you could simply use a scanned file of the tons of kitchenware products available on the net and print it with 3D printing filaments with the colour and variety of your choice. Right from cookie cutters, kitchen sink drainers, organizers, hooks, spoon stands – you get more than a dozen objects that you can print with ease.

Well, if you want to be creative with the kitchenware that you already have – 3D scanning them, tweaking their designs on supporting software and having them 3D printed is total fun!

Imagine fancy cartoon hooks and handles that kids love, colourful boxes to keep spices and condiments, pretty bottle openers and clips – all of these printed in a customized way at your convenience, sitting at home!

3D Printed Home Décor

With WFH and virtual classrooms running in every nook and corner of the house, this lockdown is also a time to have a relook at the home furnishing. By making the home décor more functional, aesthetic and multi-purpose, not only will it relieve us of our boredom but make for a nice-comfortable living space that fits each family member’s need well.

Say, for example, your WFH desk needs more book stands, comfortable chairs and side tables – what would you do? Well, 3D scanning them and printing them is one option. The other is to browse through some of the designs already available in the .STL format and print them using FDM 3D Printing machines which are easy to use and economical on the pocket.

In one of our blogs written earlier, we have covered a wide variety of such items that indeed brings a spark of personalization to homes!

3D Planters

Learning how to create 3D planters could be super useful! You can upgrade your houseplants to amazing art pieces with 3D printed planters. You can also use the eco-friendly wood mix to create them. This lockdown has encouraged people to start their own indoor gardens where they can grow organic food!

One of the biggest advantages of 3D printing planters is that you can make them in different colours, sizes, and shapes. Instead of running up and down to flower shops, you can make a customized one that perfectly fits your plant. Whether you want it on your windowpane or just on a small shelf in your bedroom, you can create a planter of any shape!
