Our Story: A Family‑Run 3D Printing Studio in Hyde, UK
3dge Lane Designs began with a shared Christmas present — a Bambu Lab 3D printer gifted to me and my daughter. What started as a fun way to make fidgets and small models quickly grew into a family project teaching both my daughter and my son about design, creativity, engineering, and running a small business.
From that first print, we’ve built a local maker brand focused on high‑quality 3D printed products, community involvement, and hands‑on learning. Every model we create is printed in our Hyde workshop using Bambu Lab printers and Bambu Lab filament, known for their speed, precision, and vibrant colour quality.
