New Dice Towers!

Well if the first ones weren't enough for you then I have just uploaded 2 more on to the website. You have an Arcanine version and Lugia that both will print without supports. As you can see I tested out the Lugia and really love how it turned out.

I think the only question after these two are do I keep going with the dice towers or is this enough for now? Let me know in the comments what you think.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!

Sea-Breeze Boomerang

Throw it? Or don't throw it? The final decision is up to you what you want to do with yours but I have another boomerang out now and on the website! This one is split in two just like the last so it can be an easy no support print that you can just stick together like I have. This one does fit in the previous stand, not as snug but still works.

More coming very soon!

446. Munchlax

Ornamental and Basic versions of Munchlax are on the website now! Both are good to print without supports so go nuts and print away. 

Zelda - Boomerang Stand

A quick post to let you know that I have updated the zip file on this month's file page on the website to now include the stand pictured in this post. Nice and simple and no supports needed. 

Desk Gyarados

So this one was one of those designs that happened because I was playing around and just wanted to essentially doodle in a 3D space. You have Gyarados coming up out of the water swimming across your desk and can print just the head piece, just the head and middle, or all 3 - it's up to you. The head is the only part that will need supports, under the teeth and under the fins on the side of the head. 

Let me know what you think and if you might want to see any other models in a simi...

Website Permissions

Hey everyone,

I hope you have all grabbed the new files from earlier and have them well on their way on your printers! 

I have just finished updating the website permissions for those that have hit the 3, 6, and 9 month milestones to gain access to those files. If you still don't have access to something and believe you should, just send me a message and we can get you all sorted. A huge thank you to those that continue to support me and this amazing endeavor.

Boomerang and Deku Tree Dice Tower

- April 5, 2023 EDIT: Deku Tree Dice Tower v2 has bee updated to fix the bottom of the print.

I hope everyone has had a great weekend so far and you are itching for something new to print. I have just uploaded the Breath of the Wild Boomerang and the Deku Tree Dice Tower to the website. Both files can be printed without supports unless you go for the uncut version of the Boomerang.

I will be updating everyone's permissions on the website later tonight for those th...

April Preview

You have spoken and you chose some pretty good Pokemon to get modelled in April. But before we get to those I wanted to address the first few photos on this post.

Coming out in May is the newest Zelda game and what better way to get everyone excited than some Zelda themed prints! Starting us off we have my first jump into the cosplay or larger display models, the boomerang from Breath of the Wild! It comes in either a one piece version or a split 2 piece that you see in the photo. The s...

April Poll

Another one is in the books! March is just about done and what a month of models it has been. 8 original models plus variant Dice Towers and Basic versions of the Ornamentals, not too shabby I'd say.

But with another month comes another poll and some tough decisions along with it. We can finish off the Eeveelutions in April depending how the vote goes and get some other favourites in there too.

Of course these aren't the only models coming next month, we will be branching out into...

244. Entei

The last poll pick for this month is up now on the website for everyone to download! You should be able to run this one without supports just like everyone likes.

Not much else to say about this one so have fun! 

Legendary Dice Tower Update

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick post to let you know that I have updated the Legendary Dice Tower as some have reported dice getting stuck in between Raikou's teeth. The opening is now wider and I have smoothed out the space between the teeth and the tunnel so it should remove any points that were catching the dice as they were coming down. 

New file is on the website and labelled v2

Welcome Package Update

Just a quick post to let you know that I have updated the Welcome Package to now include last years Easter Egg files. I know we are getting close to Easter weekend and for those that want to print something festive but haven't been part of the patreon long enough to get access to the Archive, you will have some time to print before the holiday. I'm not sure I will be able to get anything new out for the holiday so you will at least have these if I'm not able to.

None of them need suppor...

Dice Towers!

So some of you had mentioned the idea of Pokemon themed dice towers and had some great detailed ideas. In the interest of time, I went a different direction and came up with the Legendary cliffside Dice Tower featuring Suicune, Entei, and Raikou. This can be printed without supports so it's about as easy as they come! 

Once I finished the first tower I went digging and found a few older models that I have repurposed and made into more dice towers and did two versions of each of tho...

005. Charmeleon

Your next model is on the website now! Charmeleon is looking pretty chill and shouldn't need too many supports, mainly just on it's horn unless you can get away with a pretty extreme overhang. Other than that you should be ok to run it without supports everywhere else.

NOTE: I have updated Butterfree and there is a "v2" version on the website that has thicker antennae for those that were having issues with the first version.

One more poll pick left but still more than that to come...

Team Rocket Balloon

I definitely enjoyed modelling this one and I hope you guys will enjoy printing it, the Team Rocket Balloon! As it is sized now the balloon part of this print nearly maxes out and Ender 3 sized build plate so it isn't a small print and I don't think you want this one small. 

I have broken up the model so that you only need supports under the paw part of the balloon if you can get away with about a 75 degree overhang. Otherwise support how you see fit. I have also made the ropes con...

12. Butterfree

I hope you all are having a good start to your week and are looking for something new to print today. I have just finished uploading the Ornamental and Basic versions of Butterfree to the website so go grab it and give it a slice.

You should be able to run this one without supports unless you're scaling it up so it's an easier one for sure. 

Two ornamentals down and two to go for the month with more coming as well!

Articulating Rhydon

Another wiggly model is now ready and waiting for you on the website in this month's folder! There is a pre-supported version and the unsupported version depending how you want to print it.  

Have fun!

Articulating Primeape

I hope everyone is having a great week so far and you're looking for something new to print! I have just uploaded this Articulating Primeape to the website and it is available in a pre-supported and unsupported version depending what you like. 

I do have another articulating model in the works so stay tuned for that.

I also want to thank the test printers that offered up their printers and material to get this one ready while I get my machines back up and running, it was a bi...

Chunky Articuno

Well I hope you're in the mood for something cute and easy to print! I have just uploaded this Chunky Articuno to the website so go grab it when you have the chance. Supports should be pretty minimal, maybe under the tail depending how your bridging is, but other than that you should be alright.

Have a great week everyone!

175. Togepi

The first model for March is here and we started with Togepi! You should be able to run this one pretty much support free so go nuts and have fun! 

I have another model nearly done as well so make sure you have some printers ready!

March!

March is here and so here is your line up for the month. 

In no particular order:

Entei
Charmeleon
Butterfree
Togepi

Work has already started on them so you can expect your first model coming soon.

I have just finished the permission updates for the website so those of you that have hit the 3, 6, and 9 month milestones should have access to the new folders. If you don't have access and think you should, or are wondering how much longer you need to wait, j...

658. Greninja

Greninja is finally available to you all on the website! I apologize for the last minute upload for it, like I mentioned in the previous post, my family just finished a big move so my regular sculpting hours were filled with packing instead. But we are at the new house and my equipment is all set up and ready for work so March will be back to normal.

This one shouldn't be too bad for supports and you should really only need them just below the head and maybe under the arms depending how...

March Poll

Hey Everyone! I have no idea what happened to February, I know it's a short month but wow it flew by. I do still have one more model to give to you guys from the last poll, and now that I have finally moved into my new house and can get my system set up again, I will be crunching hard to get it out to you before the 28th. 

In the mean time you can choose who you would like to see modelled in March! As usual it will be the top 4 from the poll that will get modelled.

Poll will ...

Bowser Skull

I have just finished off another model for you guys this morning and as you can see it is a Bowser Skull! This one will need supports, most likely a little on the horns and under the lower jaw. 

You have 3 versions available to you, the full uncut version, one with a flat bottom for easier FDM printing, and finally a wall mounted version.

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone

172. Pichu

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone!

I hope your Sunday is going well and you are looking for something new to print. I have just uploaded Pichu to the website so go grab those files. You shouldn't need any supports for this one so there's not much else to say. 

I have more files coming so stay tuned!

Chunky Arcanine

Well this one was a fun one to sculpt for sure and it doesn't get much easier to print either. No supports needed so just drop it in the slicer and hit print. I have some ideas of other Pokemon that I want to chunk up and keep doing in this more cutesy style just to switch it up a little from the traditional that I usually do, but let me know what you think and who you might want to see in the future.

I have also been playing around with how to efficiently break up single models so that...

152. Chikorita

Ornamental and Basic versions of Chikorita are out now! You should be able to run this without supports so it's a pretty easy one to print. You can find it in this month's folder on the website so go get it and let's see those beauty prints! 

Not much else to say so have a great day everyone.

Mario and Bowser!

Well I hope everyone had a great weekend and is looking for something new to print this week because I think I have something you might like. Not the traditional Pokemon that you usually get from me, but I thought with the Switch docks that Mario and Bowser was a natural choice.

I plan on running this without supports but do what you feel comfortable for your machines. You have it in the original and OLED versions like the previous docks as well.

I have also given you guys the Mar...

8. Wartortle

Available to you now is the Ornamental and Basic versions of Wartortle! You should be good to run this one without supports as long as you can handle 75 degree overhang otherwise support as you feel necessary. 

Not much else to it other than go and print it and show off those results! 

More to come!

Articulating Dragonite

I hope everyone is having a good start to their weekend and has an open printer waiting for something good! 

I have just uploaded this Articulating Dragonite to the website for everyone to get started. I have included a supported version, unsupported version, as well as a coloured 3mf file, this is my first one and have only painted it so adjust the other settings to what you need. If you have issues with the 3mf file let me know as I don't have any printer that can utilize this so...
