Gooday Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City; Representative: Takashi Yanase), which operates 67 home centers 'Gooday' in Northern Kyushu, Yamaguchi, and other areas, will hold 3D printer workshops at 12 Gooday stores, including 5 stores with digital craft studios, on Sunday, May 17, 2026, following the achievement of over 50 3D printer sales.
Additionally, the white filament necessary for production will be available for sale at all stores starting Thursday, May 21, aiming to expand the home crafting environment.

In recent years, digitalization has advanced in the fields of DIY and handmade crafts, increasing interest in 'making things oneself.' Gooday began selling 3D printers in December last year, and with cumulative sales exceeding 50 units, the demand for 'digital crafting' is spreading in the region.
On the other hand, there are many voices saying, 'I'm interested, but it seems difficult,' or 'I don't know what I can make,' highlighting the challenge of 'wanting to try but not taking the first step.'
The purpose of this workshop is to alleviate such anxieties and allow participants to experience 'crafting that anyone can do.'
Participants will actually operate a 3D printer to output mini-figures. Starting from setting up the materials, they can experience firsthand how the shape gradually forms by pressing a button. The moment data becomes three-dimensional is intuitively easy to understand, leading to the realization that 'I can do this at home too.'
Furthermore, the content is designed so that participants do not need specialized knowledge, making it a suitable program for 'parent-child participation,' where children and guardians can experience it together. As an opportunity to engage with digital crafting, it is expected to have educational value not only for adults but also for fostering creativity and inquisitiveness.
Moreover, white 3D printer filament* will be available for sale at all stores starting May 21. This will create an environment where the workshop experience can be continued at home, supporting 'continuous use' rather than just 'trying and finishing.'
*Filament is a thin, thread-like thermoplastic resin. Three-dimensional objects are created by melting the filament with heat and stacking it in layers.

In addition, an immediate sales event is being held for those considering purchasing the main unit, which includes initial setup and usage training. This establishes a system where the entire process from experience → understanding → purchase → continuation can be completed at the store.
### 3D Printer Output Experience Workshop
One hour to turn 'I'm interested but it seems difficult' into 'I can do this.'
We will hold a 3D printer experience workshop that even beginners can participate in with peace of mind.
The experience offered is 'mini-figure making.'
Participants will choose their favorite figure from pre-prepared designs and operate the 3D printer themselves, from setting up the materials to starting the output. By pressing a button, they can witness the shape gradually forming before their eyes. They will experience the surprise of 'data becoming three-dimensional' and the realization that 'I can do this myself' on the spot.
No specialized knowledge or difficult operations are required. The content is designed for beginners to feel that 'it's surprisingly easy.'
