About Kaster3D
Sharing our fun with 3D printing with the Bay Area! Born and raised in San Mateo and now locally located in San Lorenzo, we've been residents here for going on 45 years!
What is a Kaster?
Steve has been an avid gamer for most of his life. Starting back in 1999 a new game was released, called EverQuest, which started him in his MMORPG journey. His first charater was a magician named Kast (I know, SUPER creative). When he went to create a second character his creative side once again screamed out to him, so he named his druid Kaster.
3D printing started a hobby when a co-worker said "Hey Steve, I think you'd have fun with this." Well he was obviously right with that thought! What started with a single printer turned into a whole farm, and then the goal to share the creations with everyone!
Our Models
While we'd love to be both designers and creators, at this point stick figures present a challenge. That being said, we proudly pay other designers to license their designs and print them in our own flair. Here are some of the primary model creators we use:
- Body3D
- Cinderwing3D
- Flexi Factory
- GeminiX
- Sassicat 3D
- Zou3D
Print Quality
We strive to ensure all prints are clean of defects and imperfections. For articulated prints, we flex the joined repeartly to verify there are no weak points.
Fun Focused
For us, this is as much fun to print the models as it is to sell them to others. We contiunously look for new fun models to share with all, including some of the more unique variety. Custom requests are always welcomed, as long as they can be properly licensed!
Innovation
The 3D printing world is contiunously changing, with new methods, printers or supplies coming out constantly. Similiar to that new trend in fashion, we will always have a weak spot for adding the latest and greatest technology.
