en.Wedoany.com Reported - Chinese digital creation brand ugee has launched the Funbox desktop 3D printer, its first product specifically designed for children and teenagers. Featuring home-level safety, one-click easy operation, and AI-driven creative fun, the device has obtained UL certification and meets international toy safety standards including UL GREENGUARD, ASTM F963-23, EN71, and EN62115. It supports out-of-box use without leveling or mechanical adjustments, and through the UFun mobile app, achieves a maximum printing speed of 500 mm/s and a minimum layer thickness of 0.05 mm. Amy Yuan, Global Brand Director of ugee, stated that there is strong market demand for safe and easy-to-use children's 3D printers. With its safety architecture, child-friendly interface, and AI generation features, Funbox makes 3D printing accessible to everyone and aligns with STEAM education.

In terms of safety, the Funbox features a fully enclosed rounded chassis and a 12V low-voltage DC power supply to eliminate electric shock risks. It is equipped with a dual air purification module (including HEPA H12 filter and activated carbon) and the largest 6010 active exhaust fan in its class. Unlike open-frame competitors (such as the Bambu Lab A1 Mini), this device can operate stably overnight in a closed room with carpeting. A real-time heating indicator alarm alerts users to the hot nozzle status when changing filaments or calibrating components. For ease of use, the Funbox comes fully pre-assembled. With dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and the UFun mobile app, it offers three slicing modes: fast, standard, and fine. It features a built-in 2MP HD camera for remote monitoring and time-lapse video recording, as well as power-loss resume and automatic filament jam detection. For fun and creativity, the Funbox is equipped with the patented AI ShapeGen algorithm, supporting three generation modes: voice description, text input, and hand-drawn doodle conversion. The UFun app includes a continuously updated library of 3D models and free online STEM tutorial courses. Unlike Toybox's closed ecosystem, the Funbox is fully compatible with all standard 1.75mm PLA filaments, reducing long-term operating costs.

Pre-sales for the Funbox began on July 15 via the ugee official website at a promotional price of $269, with early purchasers receiving 7 rolls of standard PLA filament. ugee is a global creative hardware company with products distributed to over 100 countries, focusing on digital art devices and STEM education tools. Its product line has expanded from graphics tablets to home 3D printers.
