Meet BlueSteve3D

Animated character of a young boy with glasses, wearing a red cap and blue hoodie, holding a sign that reads "BlueSteve3D DESIGN PRINT COLLECT" with a red arrow in the background.

The biggest surprise wasn't discovering 3D printing.

It was discovering a hobby my daughter loved just as much as I did.

MiniMakers became something we built together.

We spend hours:

• hunting for incredible models

• designing our own products

• learning CAD software

• testing prototypes

• improving every single print

The Story Behind MiniMakers

Two animated characters, a young man and a young girl, are smiling and waving. The young man wears a red cap, glasses, a blue hoodie, and red sneakers. The young girl has long blonde hair, wears a purple T-shirt with a white doll outline, purple sneakers, and blue jeans. They are posing cheerfully together.

When I walked into my daughter's school open evening, I wasn't expecting it to change my life.

For over twenty years I'd worked in construction, managing building projects across the South East. Designing, planning and creating had always been part of my career, but I'd never seen anything quite like the machine quietly sitting in one of the classrooms.

A small 3D printer was building an object one layer at a time.

I stood there watching...

...and I was completely hooked.

People often ask what we actually sell.

The honest answer?

We sell excitement.

Whether it's a child picking up their first giant figure...

A collector finally finding that missing display piece...

Or someone commissioning a completely unique gift...

Watching people smile never gets old.

Whether you're here to browse, commission something completely unique, or simply see what we're working on next...

Thank you for supporting our small family business.

Every order helps us keep creating.

We can't wait to show you what's coming next.

When me and my dad started MiniMakers, I was one of the happiest 10 year-olds in the world! MiniMakers isn't just about sales, it's about family, having fun and making cool things together. My favourite part is seeing our ideas turn into something real and meeting all the amazing people at events. I can't wait to see what we make next!
