UPDATES - SORRY :D

OK guys, I don't really like doing this, but at the same time the obsession with accuracy and my desire to give you the best possible 3d models has won this time :)

I've said it tons of times, and I will repeat, the mysterymakers community is the best in the world, your input and suggestions are always welcome and amazing :)

Not going to spill the final episode of Mandalorian, but we got to see a few more shots of the Praetorian guards, and with your help I can now say I'm super...

Praetorian guards helmet ready for printing :)

The Praetorian guard's helmet, finally it's done :)

I have seen quite a few of these 3d models out there, but every single one I've seen missed quite a few details, so I hope you'll find these ones better for your use :)

Guys, I know the urge to get/buy a 3d model the moment it hits on screen, but there is a reason why someone can offer a cool new shiny model in a matter of hours, and others take days, even weeks , just keep that in mind :)


OK, so the Praetorian gu...

REAL MAGIC ? yup, it really is floating in the air ;)

While you wait on all those new cool star wars models ( yes, im making axe woves, preatorian guard helmet, supercomando helmet and moff gideon helmet at the moment :D ) i figured i'd surprise you with a bit of magic :D

I've worked on this for quite some time, and it was just one of those things you can't get out of your head until you make it :D  

I know you wanted a magic wand stand, so i thought i'd make one that is really magical :D

Remember : a magician never t...

DEATCHWATCH BLASTER RIFFLE

WIth all the crazy Mando stuff we've seen on screen i do plan to make A LOT of things, and this one was something i wanted to make for quite a long time :)

I've spent quite a lot of time on this one, and did lots of research. Turns out the stock for the blaster rifle is def-tec 37 mm gas gun, and the scope weaver 4.5 micro trac. I did try my best to track the sizing online, so it may not be perfect in size (as i didn't have those at hand) but it should be pretty close :)


I...

A bit of Hogwarts legacy :D

As you can most likely tell i'm still captivated by hogwarts legacy. I didn't get too much time to play but as soon as i saw that mask it had to be done :D For those playing it is called the Sanguine mask :)    

The mask is straightforward. You have a textured and clean version in case you wish to try out your own version of "wood " post process finish which i'm sure would look fantastic, or you can print out the already "textured" one :)

I added a few new things, so I will just mention them real quick but make detailed posts later so as not to overflow you with information :)

1 - added the new boba fett jetpack and backplate - BOBF Boba fett armor is now in the April folder - download the folder to get the latest updates, you can delete your old bobf folder/files, as they are outdated. Jetpack h...

Hey everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to introduce you all to the MYSTERYMAKERS DICORD, focused around the MysteryMakers community and all our builds.

The main purpose of this Discord channel is to help each other with our builds and projects. Whether it's help with printing, making props, finishing models, or even just brainstorming new ideas, this is the place to be. We can also gather reference photos and do research together to make our future projects as accurate and detail...

IMPORTANT INFO FOR NEW MEMBERS !!!!!

I saw many of you join at the end of the month, and i did try my best to explain how it all works so you dont feel like you've been charged 2x. It is also stated when you subscribe before you join, but in case you missed it, here it is again :)

You were charged for March projects access in March. Now you will be charged for April access. (you are charged on 1st of each month for access to that months folder).  First 2 projects of the month i am uploading right now, so the moment ...

Grogu's Rondel with extras :)

Why do i take a bit longer to finish a project ? :D well, even on the super simple models like grogu's shield, i can't help it but go over the top :) let me walk you through it :)

included are:

- 1:1 scale grogu's Rondel in 2 parts split

- 1:1 scale grogu's Rondel fully combined version

- smaller scale version for pendant / keychain - those will make some very nice gifts, no doubt it's just a matter of time when we see those elsewhere :)

- ofc we need something t...

Almost done :)

As you can imagine Boba Fett is an intense build, and even more intense to get hte files just right :) i have been working on the back plate and jetpack updates for the past 10 days, and i finally its close to the finish line.

We are just inspecting some minor details and will do some microadjustments and thats it, so just to recap whats new and what to expect :)

- create new screen accurate back plate 

-created new (universal) back plate mounts for jetpack that wil...

Updates on bobf coming soon !!!

Hey everyone, exciting news from the world of Mandalorians ! Our friends over at JJ Industries have created a metal jetpack mount system for the BOBF Boba Fett build. This is a great step forward in creating a more accurate and durable jetpack mount for cosplayers.

As a result, I will be updating the backplate of the BOBF build to fit the JJ Industries metal system. This means that people will now have the option to choose between a metal and 3D printed backplate. It's important to note...

Updates and new goodies :)

Sorry for not checking in for a while, that only means i've been busy :)

Updating models is just as time consuming as making new ones but luckily we have some of each today :)

Mandalorian scripts, texts, scrolls - that's the topic for today ( well at least some of it :) )

So what's new ?

1 - Living waters plaque project added to march 2023
2 - Mandalorian stone tablet in crystal project added to march 2023 folder
3 - din djarin wireframe cutouts added to din ...

Crazy good or just crazy ? :D

Ok, hear me out, this will work :D haha

I'm on the quest of inventing new things again, so here is another cool project that will boost your armor build :D i hope :D

The energy shield on paz's gauntlet is something we did mention before, so i finally decided to jump into making this one. Ofc i couldn't just make the shield i had to update the gauntlet as well.

It was already good, now its better :D

So the idea is to have thicker and thinner geometry when printed i...

Hogwarts legacy set done

And the last piece of the Hogwarts legacy masks is done :) if i understood correctly, the dark arts mask, beaked skull and the mermaid masks were parts of the special releases.   

This one will be the most difficult to print with a filament printer unless split in half, so as always I've added that version as well :) However the details on this one are rather nice so it will make a cool mask :)

It might be better suited for resin prints so i hope to see this one in res...

Beaked skull - multicolor

I've added a multicolor print version for printers with multicolor printing capability., so now you can print a multicolor mask :D

Now, before you ask why i dont do it for all prints - it depends on the topology of the model as well the modeling approach. My main goal is the get the best possible results of a 3d printable model. So some models will have to have the detailes "carved" into the mesh to give best results while others can be done diferentlly. It also depends on the toplogy...

March 2023 links sent and Beaked skull

So the links for March 2023 have been sent out - as always, some of the models are already available, while everything new will be added throughout the month :)

But I've also added 1 new, continuing the Hogwarts legacy trend, the second mask, Beaked skull is added :)

Since this shape is a bit more difficult, I've added little "loops" on the side for the straps. I've also added a "cut" version that will allow you to place it facing up on the print bed - use a wider brim when prin...

minor quibbles :)

You asked for weld marks, i added weld marks :)

Haha, this was a tiny detail, in case you allready printed the base mesh helmet, i've added the details to ear only, so now you have a "ear left _ weld marks" and "ear right _ weld marks"  files in the folder as well, so when you glue them in place a weld effect will be visible :)

It can be printed both in filament in resin, but given how tiny the dtail is, resin will provide better results :) 

The way of the Mandalore ....

"I swear on my name and the names of the ancestors that I shall walk the way of the Mandalore",  what a start right ? :)

OK, not trying to give you many spoilers but if you watched mandalorian s03e01 i hope you will like this one :)

i've seen quite allot of people making these as itsa a simple shape, but they all felt rushed, so here is the mysterymakers version :)

The only design change i have decided to make things easier to print is how the ...

Mando and wizards :)

Ok, the first 2 releases are uploaded, so if you are seeing this, it means your pledge has been processed :)

More mando items ( if you know that one helmet from the first episode - its on the way :D ) are on the way , im just not gonna spoil it all :)

1 - mysterymakers custom wands :)

Inspired by Hogwarts legacy/HP wizarding world there is a total of 10 wands BUUUT, the 4 wands have interchangeable parts, so there are actually 4x4 = 16 + 6 wands, making it a total of 22 ...

Hand plate - test print :)

THE 3D MODELS IS ATTACHED TO THIS POST :)  

OK, so the making of the Roman infantry armor continues, i've made more progress on several other parts, but I hated it so they will be remade ( shins ). 

But I am happy with the hand plate which flows nicely in the general shape I had in mind, so a little "easter egg" for all of you to print - the hand plate stl is attached to this post :)   

Now keep in mind, right is my test print but i noticed i...

Work in progress :)

Hope everyone is having a nice day :)

Here is a little sneak peek preview of the Roman infantry armor work in progress. I've been at it the past few days, so let me show you where i'm at now :D

THis is still a mid detailed phase, I'm creating the parts as I go along, but leave room for some additional details or changes at the end.

The main goal  is to keep the "ancient" feel, but translated into modern sci fi armor, so we can't have too many ancient details and o...

General or a trooper ?

There was a suggestion in the FB group to add a version without the mohawk in case we wanted to seperate the soldiers by rank ( the mohawk version being a general).

 I thought the idea was quite cool, but I also love the idea of all troopers having mohawks, so I'll let you decide which ones you'd love to make :)   

There is a "no mohawk" folder added into an "stl" folder, and im i'll be making some armor parts next ( well next to all the other open projects XD :D ) ...

Great Cleaver of Khorne

Sorry i keep jumping back and forth between topics, buuuut i did mention i do have quite some stuff open :D haha

So, the Great cleaver of Khorne  - another warhammer gem, and even tho also made to fit 1:1 human, it is a bit oversized ( that's what we want) :D

As always there is a 20 x 550 mm rod/pvc/ dowel insert for structural strength, and small details are seperated.

The "blade" parts themselves have less detail than usual so they can be printed both flat on the ...

Slytheriiiiiiiin

One does have to wonder what it would be like to be sorted into a Slytherin house :) 

Those of you with the Hogwarts legacy at your hands, I'm quite sure you are already having much fun :)  

 One of the first items that was asked for a lot was the Hogwarts legacy face mask that we got to see on the trailer and I'm quite sure some of the players out there might have already unlocked it :) 

I already printed it, and it's fantastic :) It took only 2 hours on...

Some G.I. Joe :D

In the spirit of the recent "military" related props .... any G.I. Joe fans here ? :D

The G.I.Joe classified series helmet, mask and blade was a project i did in a collaboration with one of the first mysterymakers supporter Gerald Weiss, but now it's time to share it with mysterymakers community as well.

No, this is not the end of classified series cobra models, as the rest of the armor is also on the way, but we'll take it one step at a time :)

One of the HP Legacy masks is...

Roman Infantry helmet !!!

The long awaited Roman infantry Helmet is finally here :)  

We know its a hot item bcs admins in other groups are deleting the posts, sooo yeah :D  

Ok, this is a part of a full body project. It's quite an extensive project - i've been working only on this helmet for the past 5 days :D   

So lets start :   

The helmet is made as 1:1 scale for 3d printing, I used my own head 3d scan for size. The helmet has split parts so it can ...

Updates n'stuff :)

If you have noticed some things are missing from the January folder, you are right - that is normal, some parts files here and there withing the first 5 days of each month :)  patreon is processing pledges, and im creating new months folders, and move things arround a bit as well add new stuff.   if you need direct links let me know and i'll send them, but if you are not in a supper big hurry, the new links will be sent out on 5th or 6th once the pledges are processed and you w...

Shae Vizsla blaster

 Introducing the Shae Vizla blaster rifle :)  

While we wait on patroen to process pledges i've added the first project of the month ( link at the end of this post)    

This model was inspired by the concept art of Shae Vizla. Originally this was a request by cosplayer named Valerie who is a member of this group and allready has other parts sorted, but i knew many people would love to get their hands on that blaster as well, bcs, well...

EE-3 - small update

Just a quick update for the EE-3 :)

Big thnx to Bob Coleman Jr. for noticing an honest mistake i made while exporting the "Stock" files on the ee3. The stock both long and short "stock" parts didnt line up properly to the grip section. They would overlap the grip section and the cut wasnt deep enough for the "stock" to be flush with the grip part.

That is now fixed, so just refresh and redownload the "stock options" folder to get the latest update :)

First custom helmet is here :)

With the Mando S03 trailer coming out and everyone doing the same Mando helmets I was hoping to try and mix it up a bit by creating the first of many Mysterymakers Custom Mandalorian helmet designs.

To test out concept art I used the AI for generating some concept design images, and then I placed my own spin on the suggested prompts to create the final concept design. After that I went into creating the 3d model for 3d printing :)

The general idea was to move the rangefinder f...
