Really Annoying Gift Card Box Ver 2.0

Hey everyone!

We finally have an upgraded version of the Really Annoying Gift Card Box!  I was starting to feel like 134 bolts wasn't enough, so now we have 296 bolts to deal with!!!

There's actually nothing different about the original pieces, I have just created 2 new layers (7 new pieces total not including bolts) that add on to the original Really Annoying Gift Card Box.  Everything is still support free.

*Note:  You can add the new 4th and 5th layers to t...

New Bolt Variatons for Annoying Boxes!

Hey everyone!

This has been very highly requested and a long time coming but I went ahead and created a few new variations of bolts for the Annoying Boxes!  

We now have the flat head, phillips head, 5.5 mm hex, 6 mm hex, and a special one I made up (some people have said its a snake eye bolt?).  As you can see, I also created corresponding tools for these bolts.  The hex bolts are extra shallow to make them extra annoying.

These bolts all work with the Annoyi...

Annoying Box Screw .step File

Hey everyone!

I have had a handful of requests lately for the .step file to the Annoying Box bolts so people could create their own variations.  I DO have plans to create some variations in the near future, but for those of you that want to get a jump start here you go! 

Attached below is the step file with just the bolt.  You can open that in Fusion 360 or whichever modeling software of your choice and make whichever variations you want!

Keep an eye out for t...

Acorn Stash Jar / Geocache

Hey everyone!

Here is a quick fall design idea I had in my head and wanted to get out!  The Acorn Stash Jar/Geocache.  I guess the name is self-explanatory, but it is great for storing small items or would work as a great Fall-time geocache!

The design is 2 pieces that both print support free and thread together afterwards.  They will import in the orientation they're meant to be printed in. You MAY be able to scale it down a little bit without issues, but scaling t...

'Pouring Poison' Lid for Cauldron Now Available!

Hey everyone!

When I first released the Halloween Cauldron, I mentioned I was working on an alternate lid for it and here it is!  The Pouring Poison Lid.  

This design prints in 2 pieces, and the poison bottle just threads onto the pouring stream afterwards.  The poison bottle can be printed in single or multi-color, and I have included a pre-painted file for Bambu.

I have attached all of the STL's and the print instructions to this post.  You can also fi...

Halloween Cauldron w/ Locking Lid

Hey everyone!

Here's a quick Halloween Design I figured could be used for a number of reasons!  This design prints support free and comes with an optional locking lid. It is designed at a pretty small scale and the locking feature may struggle if scaled down any smaller, but feel free to scale it as big as you want!

You can find the files and print instructions attached at the bottom of this post!

*Note:  The cauldron does print upside down as it will import, the b...

Barry Bones the Articulated, Half-Dead Teddy Bear Now Available!

Hey everyone!

Introducing Barry Bones the half-dead, articulating Halloween Teddy Bear!  This is a print-in-place, support-free design.  Well...there is one built in support requiring you to twist and "crack" his neck after removing from the build plate.  Good thing he's already half dead!

I have also included a painted file for Bambu Slicer for anyone that doesn't want to paint it themselves!

Below you will find the STL file, Bambu file, and a PDF with print...

Lighthouse Dice Tower/Tealight Holder Now Available!

Hey everyone!

Here is my very first dice tower design, the Lighthouse Dice Tower.  This design prints in 4 separate pieces, all support free.  Not only does it function as a dice tower, but it also holds a tealight candle in the upper tower (battery operated ONLY, please DO NOT use a real candle).

The tower can be used with the pieces simple stacked on top of each other, but you may want to glue the bottom 3 pieces.  Your choice!

I have been given a suggestio...

Eyeball Candy Dish w/Batwing Display Now Available

Hey everyone!

Here is my first Halloween design of the year, the Eyeball Candy Dish.  I've got a minor obsession with candy and always have fun coming up with new ways to hold more of it!  There is both a "bloodshot" and non-bloodshot version of this design, and everything prints support free!

This design has single color and multicolor options so you can print it whether you have a multi-material printer or not.  I have attached the print instructions and STL's bel...

Putting Game Now Available!

Hey everyone!

The new putting game is now available in the archives!  This game is made up of 3 different sized targets; small, medium, and large.  Each target is made of 2 pieces, the housing and the ramp that snap together.  The different targets are designed to slot together in 3 different orientations.  There are also 1, 2, and 3 point flags that slip into the back of the targets!

This can be a great way to practice putting solo, or compete against others w...

Model Update + Sneak Peaks

Hey everyone!

I put together a short video with some models updates for you all!

If you don't care to watch the video, here are the highlights:

1)  Ball Drop 9000 Updates:  I uploaded a V2 of the model with a little more space added for the belt clip. I also uploaded blank versions of the models, and the Fusion 360 file so you can customize them yourselves.  I've also included all of these files below so you don't have to go searching through the archives. 2023-09-02 21:02:59 +0000 UTC View Post

Golf Ball Bag Clip

Hey everyone!

First off, I wanted to apologize and address my lack up uploads the last couple of months.  I have discussed it more in depth in the Discord channel, but long story short I hit a major burnout and needed some time to reset both physically and mentally.

I very much appreciate your patience and all of you that have chosen to stick with me, your support means everything!  

Now back to the purpose of this post!

I have just released a new design, nam...

Keg Stash Container Now Available!

Hey everyone!

Introducing the Keg Stash Container, or Beer Fund Piggy Bank.  I haven't really settled on a name, because there are a couple of options for printing this design!

This design is a 2 piece, support free print.  Currently, there are 2 options for the container: A blank one, and one that has "Beer Fund" embossed on it.  

There are also 2 options for the lid: One that has a slot to be used as a piggy bank, and one without a slot that looks like a ke...

Annoying Piggy Bank Now Available!

Hey everyone!

Here is something that was highly requested another successor to the Annoying Box series, the Annoying Piggy Bank (or bank vault if you prefer).  This design features 40 bolts and one giant 'vault lock' you have to remove to get inside.

*Note:  The bolts on this design are different from all of the other annoying boxes, these ones are longer.

I have included 2 versions of the container:  One with a coin slot and one without.  I figured you a...

Nesting Easter Eggs Now Available!

Hey everyone,

Introducing the Nesting Easter Eggs!  Last year I took one of the Easter Egg designs of mine and scaled it in the slicer to nest them, but this year I wanted to create a design specifically made for nesting!

One of my goals with this design was to maintain even wall thickness throughout all of the eggs while minimizing wasted space between the eggs, rather than just creating a single model and scaling it up/down.  

There are currently 10 eggs in this...

The REALLY Annoying Card Container Now Available!!

Hey everyone!

When I released The Annoying Gift Box, a lot of people seemed to have interest in a version with more bolts!  That led to this design, The Really Annoying Card Container.  

The goal was to make something with 120 bolts while keeping a small, compact package.  I ended up surpassing that goal and was able to squeeze134 bolts into this design!!!

It is a nesting style design, so essentially there are 3 containers nested within one another and a whole...

Owlbert the Articulating Fidget Owl

Hey everyone!

Introducing Owlbert, the Articulating Fidget Owl.  This design prints-in-place with no supports required and no assembly needed after printing!  

Its been a while since I've had a crack at anything articulated, and figured an Owl could be a fun challenge!  I really wanted to try and make the wings unique in the way the look as well as the way they move, I hope I accomplished that. 

There are a ton of articulation points on this model, and at...

Shorter Annoying Box Now Available!

Hey everyone!

Here's a Patreon exclusive variation to the Annoying Gift Box!

The original Annoying Gift Box has been selling decently well in my shop since I released it and seems to be pretty popular for year round gift giving (according to the people still buying it), so I wanted to create a quicker-to-print/cheaper option for anyone selling these in their shop!

Its just a shorter version of the original (as you see in the photo above) and there are 12 bolts instead of 2...

*New Design* Annoying Valentines Gift Box Now Available!

Hey everyone!

Introducing the Annoying Valentines Gift Box.  Due to the success of the original Annoying Gift box, I figured I would release a new annoying box with plenty of time to spare for the upcoming holiday!

This box is very similar to the original Annoying Gift Box, except geared directly towards Valentines Day!  Nothing tricky, just remove the 25 bolts to get into the box.  This one actually uses the same exact bolt as the original Annoying Box, that way ...

1)  Its been an issue here and there in the past, but its been really bad the past couple of days so I'm wor...

The Annoying Gift Box

Hey everyone!

Introducing the Annoying Gift Box, a somewhat last minute idea I wanted to whip up.  This gift box isn't tricky to open, there's no puzzle or riddle involved...its just annoying.  Unscrew all 20 bolts to gain entry! (See exploded view above).

It features a hideaway flathead "screwdriver" that stores underneath the ribbon.  This bolt can be used to install and remove all of the bolts.  A normal flathead can be used as well, but where's the fun in ...

Santa Hat + Ornaments Now Available!

Hey everyone!

Couple of updates for Percy the Penguin:

1)  We have a Santa Hat now available!  It prints separately with no supports and just sits on top of his head!

2) Ornaments!  I have uploaded 2 different ornaments, one with the Santa Hat and one without.  The main difference with the ornament versions is they are smaller (about 65% scale of the original), and they have a hole cut in the back for an ornament string or keychain loop.

I have inc...

Percy the Pencil Penguin Now Available!

Hey everyone!

I'm very excited to share with you Percy the Pencil Penguin (name pending, feel free to give me your suggestions)!  I've been wanting to push myself more and more into the character/articulated print side of things, and this was a fun model to take a step in that direction with!

This design prints in place with no supporters needed and has built in legs that allow him to either sit or stand.  The arms are also designed to hold your favorite pen or pencil &n...
