My girlfriend and I had another paint night! 🐛 This time we did Puss Moth caterpillars. This was a one-day-build. I sculpted, printed, and then we painted, all in the same afternoon/evening. STL files available on Savimade.ca. #SciArt #NatureArt

I added a few different 3D printable turtle eggs to the website! And they're free! #SciArt 🐢

I think it's important for people to learn what species they have locally so they can be excited about them and feel some responsibility for their well-being. Since we as a species have largely taken over the planet, it seems like the right thing to do: make sure other species can still live here.🐡🐍

I just painted this 3D printed Massasauga Rattlesnake neonate (notice the little button instead of a rattle). It's so cute and small but still kind of mean looking. #SciArt #NatureArt 🐍

I've added two fully finished models of Great Auk eggs to Savimade.ca. Great Auks were hunted to extinction in the 1800s. Their eggs were also highly sought after by Victorian egg collectors. These models are 3D prints that were covered in spackling compound, sanded, and painted. #SciArt

I finished a set of educational American Eel models! I had to trim the full length video for it to fit on instagram and bluesky. But this is the most of it! #SciArt #Educational #3Dprinting 🐡

Blue spotted salamander model and some basic blue spotted salamander facts. #SciArt

My girlfriend and I had another paint night this weekend. This time we painted some 3D-printed Redside Dace! #SciArt #NatureArt 🐟

I've been working on some 3D printed American Eel life cycle models this week. The final step, that I'm doing right now, is applying a two-part epoxy clear coat. This eel is currently hanging from the ceiling while it cures. #3Dprinting #eels #SciArt 🐟

This is a 3D printed and painted American Toad model. 🐸 I finished the original sculpt about 6 years ago so I revisited and updated it to my liking. I printed it in resin on an Anycubic Photon mono m5s and painted it with Golden high flow acrylics using both an air brush and paint brushes.

Hot off the 3D-printers, version 2 of our Motus Audio night flight call microphone. We're revising our microphone with some exciting new innovations, ahead of the spring 2026 migration. With Jeff Dutter, Lincoln Savi of SaviMade @lincolnsavi.bsky.social, Madison Bygrove, Natalie Emerick, and me.

How I paint a 3D printed strawberry poison dart frog 🍓 ☠️ 🎯🐸 #SciArt #NatureArt

I had another painting night with my girlfriend this weekend. This time we painted 3D-printed Strawberry Poison dart frogs (Oophaga pumilio). Printfiles available: savimade.ca. No 3D printer? You can reach out via the website and I can print some copies for you to host your own paint night!

I finished a set of 3D printed turtles this week! These fellas are off to teach the general public about local turtle populations. 🐢 #SciArt

Check out this American glass eel. You can get some PRETTY COOL effects with clear 3D-printing resin. #SciArt

New model released! 🐍 savimade.ca/shop/animals... #SciArt #herpetology #taxidermy #3Dprinted

I painted another 3D-printed mudpuppy. #NatureArt #BioArt #SciArt #Herpetology #Taxidermy

My girlfriend and I had a 3D-printed turtle painting night on Sunday. This was her first time model painting and I think she did an amazing job! I'm not even going to tell you which one is hers and which is mine. 😛 Want to host your own turtle painting night? 3D files are available (Savimade.ca)

3D printed Song Sparrow finished!

Painting a bird. Can you tell what kind as it is right now? #SciArt #NatureArt #Ornithology

I recently updated my American toad model. I like it a lot more now #SciArt #NatureArt #3DPrinting

Final video of the 3D printed Atlantic Salmon before I shipped it out! #SciArt #NatureArt #Taxidermy

I painted today! 3D printed Eastern Foxsnake #SciArt #NatureArt #3Dprinting

New 3D snake model's first test print. It's an Eastern Foxsnake. I finished sculpting it yesterday and this is it after some cleanup and a coat of white primer. #SciArt #NatureArt 🐍

A quick lil video of the Atlantic Salmon. #SciArt #3Dprinting #natureart 🐟

The 3D printed Atlantic Salmon is painted, its fins are attached, and the files are available on the website if you want to try to make your own! #SciArt #NatureArt 🐟 Savimade.ca/shop/animals/fish/salmo-salar-adult/

3D printed salmon in progress! I'm clear-coating to protect my paint job before I paint and then attach the fins. #SciArt #NatureArt 🐟

You know what's a pain(t) in the butt? #SciArt #NatureArt #WIP

Really big Atlantic Salmon incoming #WIP #SciArt 🐟

I made some banana slugs on hangable wooden plaques and put them up on savimade.ca/shop #SciArt #NatureArt

Starting a new snake species! Can anyone guess the species based on my very early sculpt of the head and this range map? #SciArt #NatureArt

I do this every time! 🐸 #SciArt #NatureArt

Here's the American Bullfrog 3D printed and primed. Are y'all ready to see it painted??? I'll post it tomorrow. #SciArt #NatureArt 🐸

Quick sculpt today! American Bullfrog. I'll probably continue with fresh eyes tomorrow but I'm liking it so far! #SciArt #NatureArt #WIP

3D printed frog progress. Frogress? 🐸

I painted one of the 3D-printed baby snapping turtles today and it's so darn cute! If you want to print and paint your own, the STL file is available here: savimade.ca/shop/animals... If there's any interest, I'm tempted to put unpainted physical prints in the shop too. #SciArt #NatureArt 🐢

Blanding's turtle done and shipped! #SciArt #NatureArt

Happy birthday to me and my 3D printed snapping turtle children 🎂 🐢 #SciArt #NaturArt

Remember that snapping turtle hatchling I was sculpting the other week? It's done! #SciArt 🐢

This video caught quite a few of my Instagram followers off guard. #SciArt #3Dprinting #herpetology #NatureArt

I'd been procrastinating painting this Massasuaga rattlesnake but last night I got into a groove. This is where I left off for the night. #WIP #SciArt 🐍. If anyone wants to try making their own, the 3D print files are available on savimade.ca

New model in the works! Shell "done", everything else: not done. #SciArt 🐢

Hey y'all. It's been a while but I finally released the Great Tinamou egg file for FREE on savimade.ca/shop/animals... Happy printing! 🥚 #SciArt

I've been incredibly busy the past month teaching high school chemistry for the past month. My students have been writing their exams and discovering my hidden bonus mark on their instructions page... Can you guess what the instruction is based on these images of their exams?

Here's a non-animal 3D printed model that I've been making for a few years now. I sell them when I'm helping staff my girlfriend's booth at punk rock markets. It's the pick of destiny. Those who know of the pick of destiny lose their mind and buy it immediately when they see it!

Here's a throwback model: a Spotted Gar that I completed back in 2021. Each tooth in its mouth was individually 3D printed and glued in place! That alone took around two hours to complete.

I drew a lookdown fish for period 4's biology class. I haven't been drawing many animals lately because the schools I've been substituting at haven't been giving me a classroom during my prep period. #sciart 🐠

ko-fi.com/boilingpoint... I've got commissions slots. I know my following is pretty small, but I'd love to give this a shot while work is slow! #commissions
