Alpha Three improves on the original Toybox with up to 2x faster printing, 1.5x finer print detail, and more durable hardware. It also features toolless calibration for easier setup.

The Alpha name is a nod to the Alpha Centauri star system, the closest star system to our own. Like Alpha Centauri, which represents the next step in human exploration of the stars, Toybox Alpha represents the next step in creativity and innovation — and Three marks the third generation of the printer. We wanted to pay homage to one of the great milestones in human curiosity and exploration, reflecting our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with 3D printing, especially for young creators.

Toybox is designed from the ground up for entertainment and ease-of-use. We enable kids to 3D print their own toys by providing an intuitive interface and a rich selection of high quality toys and content. By giving children the ability to create their own toys on the fly, we enable them to create richer adventures and stories with their toys.

No. You can import models from other platforms, and you can also use other 1.75mm PLA filament. However, our Printer Food Rolls are Toybox's favorite, and we cannot guarantee that Toybox won't get sick from other rolls.

Our Printer Food rolls are with PLA. We only sell PLA rolls because it's non-toxic and is a renewable corn based plastic.

Yes, Toybox can be plugged into any outlet that is within 100V-240V.

No. The Creator Space is a suite of apps and tools that allow you to easily create your own inventions. You can also import models from the internet or even import models that you have created with a computer-aided design tool (CAD). The platform currently supports STL, OBJ, 3MF and gCode.

Yes. You can print directly from our website www.make.toys/toys. Just make sure you log in to the same account your printer is connected to, or connect the printer to the account that you log into from the website.

This really depends on what you are printing. You can printer around 500 cat rings, or 8 full size action figures per roll. We recommend printing things in different colors to make it more fun.

Printing time is completely dependent on the geometry of the model being printed. For example, a small ninja star could take less than 5 minutes because it's thin. On the other hand, larger models take longer. A Block Buddy could take up to 4 hours because it has a lot of different moving parts.

No, a subscription is completely optional. Without one, you still have access to the Creator Space and to thousands of toys in our catalog. Toybox Pro adds Magic Tools with AI — type a prompt or upload an image and Toybox turns it into a printable 3D model — plus everything in Toybox Plus, which includes exclusive toys, discounts and much more.
