Summer Solstice: Longest Day 3D Printing Marathon

The summer solstice marks the longest day of the year — and at 3DCentral, we celebrate with our annual printing marathon, pushing production to its peak during the extended daylight hours.

Marathon Production

On the solstice, our full fleet of 200+ printers runs at maximum capacity. Extended daylight hours allow our team to handle the increased output with full quality control.

Special Edition Releases

Solstice-exclusive designs release on June 21 only. Past editions included sun-themed gnomes, golden ducks, and illuminated figurines with embedded LED cavities.

Behind the Scenes

Follow our solstice marathon on social media for live updates from the production floor. See real-time print starts, quality checks, and packaging. It is the most exciting day on our production calendar.

Community Challenge

Home printers are invited to join the marathon — share your own longest-day print projects using our hashtag. The most impressive prints win 3DCentral shop credit.

Summer Energy

Quebec long summer days provide extended natural lighting for quality inspection and photography. The energy of the longest day permeates our entire operation.
