Glow-in-the-dark decor and rope-making tools, designed and 3D printed by Grampy Bob just southwest of Boston
Hi, I'm Bob, though to my three grandkids, Alice, Stella and Jace, I'm Grampy. They're the reason this shop exists.
It started when my oldest grandchild, Alice, asked me to make some toy pieces, including replacement Polly Pocket flags. They came out so well that we decided other families might want them too, and 3D Print World by Bob was born. Then my daughter Alaina asked for glow-in-the-dark stars for her son Jace's room, and that launched the whole glow collection. Alice, her little sister Stella (my daughter Kassia's girls) and Jace love everything I make, and Grampy can't seem to print fast enough to keep up.
When I'm not at the printer, I'm on the water. I've spent years boating in New England, and pretty much every summer. That's where the anchor and rope in my logo come from.
Everything in the shop is designed and printed by me, one order at a time.
THINGS THAT GLOW
3D Glow Buddies are cheerful characters with raised 3D details and six smiling stars, for kids of all ages, pet lovers, and the young at heart. 3D Glow Buddy Pets turn your own dog into a glow portrait from your photos, and you see a proof before anything is printed. Glow star sets, personalized name plates and Galaxy Nameplates complete the room.
THINGS THAT MAKE ROPE
Being a boater, I love rope, so I designed 3D-printed rope-making machines and cord twisters with stainless hardware and precision bearings. Crafters use them for macrame, embroidery cord and more. Follow along on TikTok and YouTube to see what's next on the workbench.
Every piece is made to order, so if you have a question or a special request, just send me a message. I read every one.
