11-year-old girl creates 3D-printed family business

The presentation that convinced the parents

It was 11-year-old Milla who started it all when she came home from school with a small 3D-printed toy that a classmate had made on a Bambu Lab A1. Instead of just pestering her parents about a machine, she started researching. She made a complete presentation to her parents, with the pros, cons and prices of different models – and offered to pay with her own savings.

Her father, Gui, tells about the episode:

"What impressed us most was how well thought out her decision was... Milla compared brands and models, watched videos, checked prices, and came to us with a list of options. She explained why she thought the A1 or P1S would be a good fit for our family... That was the starting point for our family to delve deeper and make the best decision together. And that's one of the reasons we chose Bambu Lab. We felt it was the best combination of quality, reliability, and ease of use for a family."

Bringing the family together during a busy day

Even though both father and mother work full-time from home, everyday life often meant they were pulled in different directions. 3D printers have completely changed the family dynamic. Now they gather in the basement to brainstorm and solve technical challenges together.

Milla, 11, is in charge of creative direction and product development, while her sister Malu, 13, manages the content for social media. The girls come up with ideas, sketch them out, brief a designer, and then evaluate the results – skills that few people learn in school.

Her mother, Cynthia, elaborates on the purpose of the project:

"One of the biggest goals behind LittlePrintyCo is that all four of us understand every part of the process of building a business... It's not just about selling products. It's about creativity, communication, teamwork, responsibility, and learning how ideas turn into something real that people enjoy and connect with."

Milla hopes that her story can inspire others:

"3D printing showed me that kids can create real things, help people, and even start a business. I hope other kids are inspired to try their ideas too."

Bambu Lab, which has supplied the machines to the basement, refers to their MakerWorld platform , where families can download thousands of free models and get started right away, just like Milla did – without any prior experience.
