Stemfie – an open source 3D printed hobby building system @Stemfie3D

STEMFIE is a  3D-printable, open-sourced educational construction toy you can download and make at home.

Every STEMFIE file’s shape and orientation is optimized for 3D printing on a filament-based 3D printer. The STEMFIE project is open-sourced to the community; you can download all files from stemfie.org/download.

As a child, my favorite pastime was playing with construction set toys. I loved inventing machines and fondly remember when my father and I played with MECCANO for hours, building the most incredible contraptions. So playfully, he gave me the tools and opportunity to experience the joy of being an inventor!

I use various 3D software and 3D printers in my profession. Back in 2017, I started thinking of designing a 3D-printable version of my childhood favorite toy. After carrying this idea in my mind for a while, I began prototyping and defining this new toy’s scale and dimensional standard.

The result was the combination of my passion for construction sets and 3D printing, which became a toy I named STEMFIE, a hypocorism of the acronym S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
