Abstract
The present disclosure is drawn to 3D printing kits, multi-fluid kits for 3D printing, and methods of making 3D printed articles. In one example, a 3D printing kit can include a powder bed material, a fusible fluid, and a magnetic fluid. The powder bed material can include polymer particles. The fusible fluid can include water and a radiation absorber. The fusible fluid can be to selectively apply to the powder bed material. The magnetic fluid can include magnetic particles, and the magnetic fluid can be to selectively apply to the powder bed material.
