~Meet the maker~
Hi, I'm Niki, the creative force behind Tings πβπ»
We started out a little over a year ago and have gone from strength to strength, 2026 has so much in store for us already. πͺπ»
By night I'm running printers like a nocturnal 3D print gremlin, and by day I deliver training in Additive Manufacturing (a fancy word for 3D printing π
)
So you could say 3D printing is my life π€·π»ββοΈ
I'm passionate about it, because to me ad-man is accessibility, it's flexibility. It's making dreams and ideas reality and dancing to the beat of your own drum ππ»
All my life I wake up from dreams of my latest creative ambition - baking and cookie decorating, journalling, jewelry making the list goes on -
3D printing gives me the ability to get up and go β© Cookie cutters? Easy peasy. Findings, beads, brads, charms, no problem. Currently it's been paper making and book binding, with a binding guide and a deckle that I 3D printed - still a work in progress π
But I say this all the time "The only limit is your own imagination" and I love sharing that passion with people. There's no better feeling than someone going home with their printer and proudly showing you their first print, I love sharing in that excitement and wonder β¨
And I like making tiktoks walking through castle park on my way to work π it's my way of psyching myself up for the day, usually singing the wrong words π€
So that's ME and this is my 3D prinTINGS page and other crafty bits π€ all the love π₯°
