We Need Your Help!

we need your help, toys for tots 3D printing drive.AAPLD is teaming up with other libraries and 3D printing enthusiasts for the annual Toys for Tots drive!

Organized & fueled by IC3D since 2018, the 3D printing community works together to manufacture thousands of toys for donation and distribution by U.S. Marines to children and families in need.

Last year, the program produced an incredible 132,618 toys!

Want to help make this holiday season special? You can join the effort by printing toys yourself or donating filament for our teams to use. Every toy makes a difference, and we're counting on our amazing community to help spread a little extra holiday cheer!

If you own a 3D printer and would like to volunter to print toys for this program please email 3Dtoyteam@aapld.org.

Donate a spool or spools of 1.75mm PLA filament. You can view our wish list at Amazon, here. Please drop off or mail to the Makerspace at 2600 Harnish Drive, Algonquin IL 60102.

Thank you to both the toy printers, and those that donate to help us meet our goal. Happy Holidays!
