Welcome to PLAingAround! Our shop is the result of two very different worlds colliding to create something special.
By day, I am an IT Professional with over 30 years of technical experience. I’ve spent my career navigating complex systems and digital infrastructure, which is why I’m obsessed with the precision and "magic" of 3D printing. If there’s a way to calibrate a printer to perfection or engineer a custom solution, I’m on it.
By my side is my wife, who serves as the Director of a childcare center. She brings the heart, the color, and the creative spark to everything we do. Her daily life is centered around imagination and play, which makes her the expert on what makes a gift truly "fun" and how to bring a personal touch to our Cricut designs.
Together, we decided to stop just "working" and start PLAingAround.
We’ve combined my technical "know-how" with her "eye for joy" to build a family business that specializes in high-quality 3D printing, creative gadgets, and custom toys. Whether we’re printing a complex mechanical toy or weeding a custom vinyl decal, we put 30 years of professional pride and a lifetime of creativity into every single piece.
Thank you for supporting our small business and letting us "play around" with your next custom project!
