What do people in Dunedin get 3D printed?
Student and research prototypes, enclosures for lab and electronics projects, tabletop and game miniatures, and fixes for the city's many older houses.
Dunedin is New Zealand's university city, built around the University of Otago and Otago Polytechnic, and it has a growing game development scene. That means plenty of student projects, research rigs and miniatures on short timelines and student budgets.
The $5 small-print deal suits this kind of work well: clips, test pieces and miniatures under 50g are a flat price each.
Which 3D printing material suits Dunedin?
PLA is fine for indoor models and prototypes. Dunedin's cold winters don't affect PLA or PETG indoors, but for outdoor parts that freeze and thaw, choose PETG, which is less brittle in the cold.
- PLA: rigid, precise, the widest colour range. Best indoors.
- PETG: tough, heat-tolerant to ~80 °C, good outdoors.
- TPU: flexible and grippy, for seals, bumpers and cases.
