Rumi's sword breakdown video :)

Here it is, guys — a detailed look into my Rumi’s Sword design!

If you have any questions about the build, feel free to drop them in this post and I’ll help you out.

This one’s pretty straightforward but features a unique light-up approach I haven’t seen done anywhere else yet. I just wanted to show you how I made it and offer help if needed.

I’m really happy to see that some of you have already built it and shared your results i...

The Adjudicator mask ready for download

Hope you're not too mad at me for going strong with this Halloween thing :D

But I’ve got a bit more inspiration for the masks with moving jaws — and based on the feedback so far, everyone seems to be loving it, so I’m hoping it’s a win-win! 😁

This one I’m calling “The Adjudicator”, because he comes, judges, decides… and f***s you up ! (kidding, of course 😂)

It’s another one of my original designs — I wanted to make something that feels like a d...

Light-UP K-Pop:Demon hunter sword coming soon !!!

As you might have guessed, I’m working on Rumi’s sword from K-Pop: Demon Hunter!

But I couldn’t just make regular 3D models and leave you to figure it all out — so I went a bit overboard and decided to solve all the requests you guys had in the FB group.

The main requirements/challenges were:

  1. It has to be easy to print

  2. It has to be collapsible, so it’s easy to transport

WW2 - 4 Grav charges projects ready for download :)

OK im starting the month not with 1 but 4 projects :)

As I’m continuing the work on armor I had one side idea I thought would be really fun to make — grav charges inspired by WW2 army grenades that light up with the same LED setup you guys shoudl allready have :)

For inspiration, I looked at:

  • Mk2 “pineapple” grenade (USA)

  • Type 97 grenade (Japan)

  • M24 grenade (G...

The Harvester - Pumpkin mask 🎃

Ok, so this one is a little different — a pumpkin-inspired horror mask with a moveable jaw, which I’m calling The Harvester.

Last year I made the Skeletor mask with a moving jaw, so it only felt right to make another one this year — but this time with a creepy, pumpkin-inspired twist for the season.

The build is pretty straightforward:

  • only 2 parts — the face and the jaw

  • the jaw is snap...

MG Mando helmet

Ok, so as many of you know, my table is always full of random stuff I’m tinkering with. This one was kind of an impulse project.

I stumbled across a “concept” for the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu… turns out it was just an AI image. But by that time, I was already halfway in, so I thought: why not finish it, add my own twist, and wrap it up?

So here it is — I present to you the new MG Helmet.

Laser / Cricut vizor template

Ok, another quick one — but I think many of you will find it useful!

To recap, when it comes to helmet visors I’ve usually been making:

  • a 3D printable mesh (for tracing to make visors, or in rare cases clear resin printing)

  • a vacuum forming template

  • a see-through mesh

And now I’ve tried adding another option (and will do more of these where it applies): a 2D cutou...

Gandalf Staff - custom wood pole cutout

Ok guys, I was asked if we can use a real wood stick for Gandalf’s staff — and the answer is yes!

Instead of making a bunch of different diameter files, I created a small 3MF customization that lets you cut a hole to match the diameter of your choice.

Everything is explained in the video, and the 3MF file (which works in other slicers as well) is attached at the end of this post.

Gandalf the White Light up staff

Aaaand this one is done :) Just like with my Saruman staff, I’ve made two versions: a non-functional one and a functional LED light-up version.

This time, I learned from the mistakes I made with Saruman’s staff and redesigned the pressure-fit strips. I added an extra edge/slot system to prevent any wobbling, so the staff should now be rock solid with no need for metal rods.

But for those who still prefer using rods, I’ve i...

WW2 Boba Fett helmet ( the rest coming soon)

Halloween is about costumes, right? So what if… our costume has a costume? 😅

I stumbled across this awesome concept art from Giorgio Baroni of a WW2 Boba Fett armor, and I absolutely loved it. So yes… I’m making the rest as well — with a little bit of my own spin!

I tweaked the helmet design to lean more into that WW2 style, which (in my opinion) just looks better. On top of that, I’ve added two faceplate options: one smooth, and one more aggressive, so you c...

Evil- Lyn - 3(4) helmets added :)

Ok, as promised — here’s the helmet that goes with Evil-Lyn’s scepter…

Buuuut, not just 1 helmet… not even 2 helmets… it’s actually 3 helmets! (Well, 4 if you count the fact that helmet #2 has 2 different options 😅).

Honestly, I never planned to make this many. I started with the original cartoon version — but when I finished it, it just felt too simple. Nothing wrong with simple (it is a cartoon after all) — but I felt it could be more.

Magic colaboration :)

This one is not part of my standard projects I usually release, but it was something I thought was really cool — and I think you might like it too :)

I recently collaborated with a maker who does allot of WIzarding world content, and had a crazy idea: what if we take the wizard’s wand and make it super huge? 🪄

She offered to slice up and scale up my Wizard Wand Pack, and turn them into giant wall decorations. The result looks amazing — and definitely not someth...

Saruman LIGHT UP Staff ready for downlaod :)

Something I’ve always wanted to make… Saruman’s Staff!
But not just Saruman’s staff — this one is a remotely controlled, LIGHT-UP version :)

The coolest part? The electronics I used are the same ones I’ve included in some of my previous projects, so chances are you already have everything you need to get started.

Animated Deathwatch armor done !

Thank you for the patience guys!

I’ve been working on this day and night — and just to put it into perspective, with the helmet included there are now 75 STL files I’ve created and carefully modeled for ease of use and wearability. All of this comes together to form this awesome ANIMATED DEATHWATCH ARMOR !!!

Dr. Strange shield

Alright guys… I’m officially milking this holoprojector thing for all it’s worth :D

But hey — the goal is for me to squeeze every last drop of creativity out of these holoprojectors so we can use them in as many awesome ways as possible !!!

This one’s simple and straightforward, but ever since the small holoprojector came out, I had Doctor Strange shields in mind. The problem? The small one was… well… a little too small.
