Predator Samurai era

I was very happy to see how much you all liked the Predator spawn mashup. I know the dreadlocks were a bit of a pain to print, but they are quite a cool addition to the predator helmets. 

However, it encouraged me to complete another concept project I had in mind, so here it is , something I call Predator Samurai era helmet. It also uses the same dreadlocks as in the predator Spawn, so you can just use those :)

I also have a weapon for it in mind, but still sketching this ...

Goblin King Pendant _ Labyrinth

DOWNLOAD AT THE END OF THE POST

What better way to start the year than with another addition to our historical / iconic movie props collection :) 

This is a simple one, but just enough to start the creative juices flowing. 
For those who are not familiar with it , it was worn by David Bowie in the movie Labyrinth. David Bowie played Jareth the goblin king, and the entire movie is filled with tons of details.   Jareth is a mysterious, charismatic ruler...

FREE MODEL AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE :) 

I made this one yesterday morning, but I wanted to keep it to surprise you today with my version. The Marvel RIvals armored Moonknight's dart :)

I know, i know, this one was made by others allready and the reason for that is bcs there is a game data model available out there, so it was very easy to take the game data and convert it into something 3d printable. I did go the extra mile tho and created a version that needs no painting , a st...

Magneto helmet Marvel rivals

Aaaand another one is done :) I wanted to complete this one before the holidays, so i do hope you will like this one

It is the Magneto helmet from Marvel Rivals. FIrst i want to thank you guys for providing the reference photos from the game. I designed this one to fit a head of 585 mm circumference, and it is made in a way it will not be too long or dorky when put on. Included is also clean and the "damaged" version with the scar that we see in the game. And you'll see the front detail...

Noxian soldier mask

Wanted to try out some LoL / Arcane stuff, and those Noxian soldier masks looked pretty awesome :D - it is now available for download for "we are makers" tier members from the DECEMBER 2024 pinned post.

Based on my understanding of the mask, i have included 2 options 

1 - with "cheeks" covered so they can be painted dark in post process
2 - with "cheeks" open so you can add a dark mesh/fabric on the inside, or to be worn with a dark fabric/mask, similar t...

Pipes part 1 - Saruman Gimli Thorin

Ok guys, back to LOTR :D 

I wanted to make a smoking pipe set, however I am not completely sure how many there are. I did track down a set of 6 produced for the movies, and I managed to create the first 3 of them , so this is PART 1 of the pipes set :D 

Included are Saruman, Gimli and Thorin

PREDATOR SPAWN


Another one i'm sure you didn't except, but i'm also sure you won't mind :D :D

DOWNLAOD LINK IN THE PINNED POST!!

This one is based on an AI photo that was going around. In that AI concept photo, It was supposed to be a Predator punisher, but I was getting more of the Spawn vibes. Sooo, as a designer, a mashup idea was born, and I couldn't help it but go ahead and give the helmet some functionality and an original twist. So now we have the Predator Spawn helmet.

Hope you're excited for the upcoming project. Well, one of them ;) I need a but more time but here's a FIRST LOOK :)

It's a remotely controlled MSE 6 series repair droid that you can drive with your phone.

Full disclosure - at the moment it only works with Android phones via bluetooth. As always IOS is making things difficult, so i will need more time to see how to make it work with the IOS - if even possible, given that iphones read only Bluetooth low energy, but more on ...

Ringwraith sword

DOWNLOAD LINK AT THE END OF THE POST:

And the last month of the year is here :) Starting "simple" with another LOTR item - this time THe Ringwraith swords.

I know there might be multiple references, but i did manage to trace down an auction page that claims to sell the screen used ones, and i used those for sizing and references, so we should be pretty close to the real deal :) 

This time I managed to bring back into the design my standard 8mm rod cutout for str...

Morgul blade

I just love LOTR swords :D I'm gonna make all of them :D 

This time Morgul blade - inspired by the work of Weta workshop, the size of this thing is made to fit the original one proportion wise and at roughly 680 mm length. 

Just a heads up, since the blade is a bit more narrow than the usual ones i make there was no room for the 8mm rod for strength that i normally use, so i made a smaller one at 5 mm, so it is more likely you will be able to find a pvc pipe or a full ...

Mysterymakers magic box ready for printing

All done and ready for printing :) 

Keep in mind not to show the "secret" or assembly online , it will ruin the trick :) 

Here you can see it in action:

You can use it to "appear" gifts , "vanish" gifts, use 2 boxes for teleportation effects, and so on and on :) I also added a "non christmas" versions to be used throughout the year :D...

Real magic coming soon :)

Hey guys, I know this might not be expected, but it is definitely unique :)

There are no camera tricks; this works in real life :)

I wanted to give you a head start on printing Christmas stuff, but I didn’t want just any random ornaments, so I made a real mystery makers magic box that will allow you to make the gifts APPEAR in real life :)

The engineering behind this thing was quite fun, with tons of failed prints to make it work in the end, but it looks so awesome, and...

Mandalorian Punisher chest armor

I was very happy how much you liked the Mandalorian punisher helmet, so I decided to take it a step further. 

Obviously adding skull shapes all over the armor might be a bit of an overkill but I really wanted to make a Punisher Mandalorian chest armor. 

I have also included a concept idea for a suit -  made COMPLETELY from all the parts of armors i've previously designed to really try and show what i had in mind when designing the Punisher Mandalorian chest armor....

She-Ra sword

Aaaand another "simple" one , but it was requested quite a lot after He-man's sword :) 

Of Course it's the original She-ra sword , very similar to He-man's sword, but the key difference is the gem. 

As before i have included a full version, precut version, 2 part split version, and a keychain version, and the gem included is both a solid version that can be used for filament or resin print or as a template for a mould, and a a hollow version gem in case ...

Mandalorian Punisher ?

ok, something i think you did not expect :D 

I know there are some Mando / punisher mashups out there, but recently i was sent a photo of a very very cool mashup concept, so of course i had to jump onto it :D As always i added some of my own touches to it to make it rather unique, so i present to you a Mandalorian helmet Punisher division, or Mandalorian Punisher helmet :D 

I have included a cutout template for the vizor - what I did was I made the vizor ...

Hogwarts legacy inspired moving eye chest

DOWNLOAD at the end of the post

It's no secret I love wizarding world stuff. So when I was working on the moving eye mechanism, it was just a matter of time until I applied that design to the Hogwarts Legacy moving eyeball chest :)

In case you haven't played the game , I definitely recommend it , and for those who don't know, the eyeball chest in the game is a "treasure" chest that tracks your movement when you come close to it , so that is perfect for the moving eye :)

He man's axe and shield



Ok guys, something "simple" to start the month , and it goes back to the Masters of the universe from last month. 

He-man's axe - upon my research I have noticed the axe is something that he never used in the original tv series, so I used some comic cover images for "official" references to recreate an "original" He-man's axe :) 

He-man's shield - this one is straightforward, i designed it in a way the red plates can be printed separately and ins...

Marko Myers ? but there's Michael as well :D

ok guys, i did something stupid :D i wanted to get this one as soon as possible before halloween :D

As some of you know, the original Michael Myers mask was based on William Shatner's face , so i thought it would a bit silly and interesting to make a little "what if" scenario and instead of WIlliam Shatner's face to use my own face to recreate the Michael Myers mask :D 

Basically i re-sculpted a mask and mashed up my own facial features with Michael meyers facial features a...

He man power sword

I think everyone saw this one coming :D 

While i was at the original He man stuff, it was only appropriate to make the original Power sword.

I know there are some free versions out there, but i have created this one with cartoon proportions in mind, of course translated into real world, and i think this one will be rather cool to print

Its super straightforward, there is a cutout for the structural strength -same size i use for all my swords, connected with assembly ...

Skeletor Havoc Staff ready for printing

This is a simple one but i can't have my Skeletors running around without their Havoc Staff :D

yup, its a 1:1 scale 

It's the original skeletor staff form the He-Man series, which is basically a simplified/stylized ram skull

I have included 2 options how you can approach the build

1: 3d printed shell with real life wood/pvc insert for structural strength 

2: real wood/pvc pipe that acts as a staff - instead of printing the entire staff (p...

Some fixes and addons

Time for some updates and fixes :) 

1 - the skull - there is nothing wrong with the file I released , I have just noticed that some of us might have some problem reaching fully into the skull's jaw with our chin, so I made a version 2 of the jaw , something I simply call "longer" - it will allow for easier articulated movement. if you need to use it, use it , if not, just ignore it, but both versions are now in the folder :) 
 

2 - the eye and the book code and ...

I did mention there are some props in line that will use the functional eye design, so here is another one. 

The cool thing is, it's interchangeable from the book, so you don't need to reprint the eye mechanism. You can just add it here , or remove and add to the book :)

It is a channel used for my open source code and electronics - the idea is for you to be able to access it in one place, so you can tweak the code, and share your changes/creations with other community members of the mysterymakers patreon, and also get credit for your work.

Only paid tier patreon members can access these features of the discord so I kindly ask you not to share anythi...
