🧠 What is a MakerChip?

A MakerChip is a customizable 3D printable token used by makers to promote their projects, brands, or communities. These collectible chips are commonly exchanged at maker events, fairs, and workshops.

Creators personalize them with logos, QR codes, artwork, or branding, making them a creative mix of promotion, collectibles, and maker culture.

🛠️ Personalization Options Add Your Own Logo
