At MechAddict, we’re always looking for ways to push the boundaries of creativity and community within the world of mecha and Gunpla. Today, we’re thrilled to announce a major expansion beyond our upcoming e-magazine: the launch of the MechAddict Online Marketplace, a dedicated store and 3D printing platform for custom Gunpla and Gundam aftermarket parts!

Our goal? To become the premier source for unique, high-quality parts and accessories for Gunpla builders worldwide. This new marketplace will empower creators to elevate their builds with custom pieces that go beyond what’s available in traditional kits. Whether you’re looking to enhance your existing Gunpla, create a one-of-a-kind piece, or find specific parts to complete your perfect build, the MechAddict Online Marketplace will be your go-to destination.

A Marketplace Built for the Gunpla Community

The MechAddict Online Marketplace is more than just a store; it’s a community-driven platform designed to support Gunpla builders and creators at every level. We’re bringing together designers, builders, and fans to offer a vast selection of 3D-printable parts, from custom armor and unique weapon designs to detailed add-ons that will take your mobile suits to the next level.

The marketplace will be open to both buyers and creators:

• For Builders: Discover new ways to customize your Gunpla with a selection of parts designed specifically for a range of mobile suit models. Whether you’re looking to personalize a classic RX-78-2 or add unique flair to a Zaku, the marketplace will offer parts that fit your vision.
• For Designers: Share your creativity with the community by offering your custom parts as downloadable 3D print files. As a designer, you’ll have a platform to reach a dedicated audience and earn revenue for your original designs.

What to Expect from the MechAddict Online Marketplace

We’re working hard to build a user-friendly experience that makes browsing, purchasing, and downloading 3D models simple and intuitive. Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect when we launch:

• High-Quality, Customizable Parts: From unique head units, thrusters, and backpacks to intricate hand weapons and shields, you’ll find a wide range of parts that are easy to print and compatible with popular Gunpla scales.
• Detailed Categories and Search Filters: Quickly find parts based on mobile suit series, part type, compatibility, and more, making it easier to locate exactly what you need.
• Community Ratings and Reviews: Our marketplace will include a community feedback system, so you can see which parts and designers are rated highly by other builders.
• Creator Profiles: Get to know the designers behind your favorite parts, explore their other designs, and support them directly.
• Tutorials and Resources: New to 3D printing or customizing Gunpla? Our marketplace will also feature a growing library of resources, including tutorials on 3D printing techniques, tips for modifying and finishing printed parts, and advice on integrating custom pieces into your builds.

Empowering Creativity with 3D Printing

The rise of 3D printing has opened up incredible possibilities for Gunpla customization, and MechAddict is committed to making these resources accessible to everyone. With our new marketplace, we aim to provide a platform where builders can easily access digital files and print their own parts, removing the limitations of traditional kits and enabling endless creative possibilities.

This is a game-changer for the Gunpla community, allowing fans to push their skills and imagination further than ever before. Builders will have the freedom to transform their kits, add personal flair, and even recreate parts that are difficult to find or no longer in production.
