For this year's Christmas ornaments, I made gingerbread cookies of popular Crypids. Does anyone else think the Mothman one looks like @atnathanyaffe.bsky.social #justanotherwhiteguywithabeard #3dprinting #Christmas #Cryptid

Cryptmas is almost here.

IT'S JUNETEENTH! There is still so much fucking work to do in this country to clean up the blood it was built on and so many reparations owed. One of the small ways we can help is actively seeking out, hiring, supporting and buying from Black artists. bsky.app/starter-pack...

I'm no longer with Polygon. If you're hiring, please consider the many talented writers and editors now on the market. Every one of them deserves a spot on your staff. I won't be talking more about the sale because I wasn't involved. Going to hang out with my kid. Taking wins where I can.

The Custom hero base - FAB•!T is available for download from my 3D print share sites. Would love to see how people print and customize it! than.gs/m/1313244 cults3d.com/:2914081 printables.com/model/1269581

Here's my process of sketching Omni-Man on my customizable base FAB•!T figure. Used charcoal pencil and kneaded eraser to good effect. I'll try a regular soft pencil for next time around, but I find the charcoal to be a great way to sketch expressively.

Who wants to draw some faces? I can't keep up with all the characters I want to make, so I made a blank Li'l Crafty so you can draw whoever you want! Trying out a range of expressions to verify that I've made him suitably customizable. Happy with the range, but need to make a lady base next.

The model I was actually working on before going on an Easter egg-shaped sidequest is done and on the machine for a verification print. #Alien #Ripley #Xenomorph

“Gray is not an Easter color.” my wife says to me. So I guess I’ve gotta spend a little time painting these test prints up to make use of them during the inaugural Easter Bug Hunt.

@thegamebakers.bsky.social I had a really lovely time playing the Cairn demo this evening. I think I wrung every route and item out of the warmup gym, but I'm sure there are many more secrets tucked away on this starter ascent, let alone the full game. Looking forward to this one now.

A Little Harley WIP

BRAG WARNING: I now have three of the top ten most downloaded models of all time on Printables

Vlogbrothers project for awesome #p4a2025 stream is kicking off. Funding for charitable grants in a time when we could use more love and compassion. www.youtube.com/live/k-1gItw...

Noticed a big Internationally recognised geological feature missing from Google Maps today. Super weird. Please help by reporting this oversight. t.co/qTbw3U7cMT

"Did you make a Valentine's Day Mandrake!?" my daughter exclaimed from across the house. I think that's what they mean when they say kids are such an inspiration right? Unclear if she noticed that it was a heart... than.gs/m/1263600?af...

I'm almost finished with my latest #3Dprinted piece of weird decor for #Valentines Needed to figure out more mechanics for this than I'd imagined so it's been pretty slow going.

Hell Yeah @alexberkowitz.bsky.social ! Love these! I've got some different elastic coming in the mail so I can try stringing them up the way they were designed, but looping #StretchMagic elastic beading cord through every face worked pretty good.

Found a cool new fidget toy that's perfect for end-of-spool prints. Searching for what to print with the last few meters of filament? Make (quiet) fidget toys and give them to your local elementary. Special Ed teachers need sensory toys for the kids and they often have to buy them out of pocket.

The latest video from @3dprintingnerd is covering .STL theft, a topic that we’re all pretty close to. I’m pretty disgusted by the “it’s ok to steal from thieves” tone of the comments regarding fan art, and I want to see more people weigh in on this. youtu.be/8P_buBQUJnY?...

First Ninja and now Power Rangers. I started out with the goal of just creating some generic action poses for the heads I made for my October #MASKtober challenge. Instead here I am with a small handful of new figures. Next time I swear I'll make a generic base.

Starting off my second season of figures. Lil Snake Eyes is up for grabs. than.gs/m/1242906 One of the least popular heads from my MASKtober bunch, so of course it's the first one I convert into a full figure.

Does anyone know what to call the design aesthetic of the #MechaComet? It’s more colorful than most #neumorphic or #softui It looks like an @androidarts.bsky.social or pixel art design brought into the real world with soft matte mid-tone pastel plastics.

Quick Snakeyes WIP. He wasn't at the top of my list, but he was requested, and It'll make a good base for other figures.

When I look back at the year, my #ADHDbrain only sees the broken promises of unfinished projects. While digging through those WIPs to put my shortcomings on public display, I found these staring back at me, challenging me to acknowledge what I had made. #ArtVArtist2024 #bekind2you

It feels good to get something out again. Not the full final Ghost Rider, but something of a pocket-sized study. than.gs/m/1231083 I also made a version where the sled is just kicking up snow that can be used interchangeably with my other Little Craftys Heads.

I think this is starting to look better... getting past the hair flowing in the wind look has been a block.

Well, to all the people who have asked me if I sell my models directly, I guess I do now. I'm excited to see if this will be a viable cost structure for non-printer people to access my work.

Here they are fresh and hot off of the printer. The Matte beige from @bambulabglobal.bsky.social came out better than expected. They look just like real cookies hanging on the tree.

I designed Christmas Tree and Peppermint organizers! They each have several removable trays that fit onto a base. Available on @thangs3d.bsky.social: than.gs/m/1227034 Printed using @polymaker.bsky.social filament. This was my first time trying their gorgeous starlight red color! #3dprinting

Long before I knew what a polygon or a UV map layout was, organizing Christmas cookies for the ideal cut of that first pristine roll-out of dough, is one of the most satisfying memories I can recall. The GingerBread ornaments from @LootStudios just had me reliving that #ChristmasTradition.

Experiment 626, but make it spooky. Behold the Stitch Skull 3D Model – because even mischievous aliens have skeletons. Model: than.gs/m/1219160 Ohana means family… and family means collecting skulls. 👽 #3DPrinting #StitchSkull #CreepyCute #OhanaMeansBones

Some months ago the Saltenpepper team and I decided to finally give up on the game project, none of us had enough time or resources to put into it and i realised i was completely done with it. I'll put together a book of all my work on it as a send off. Here's some never seen stuff in the meantime

Just noticed an "All Plate Stats" panel in the Preview Tab of @BambuSlicer. Super useful for estimating filament usage across multi-plate prints. Only suggestion I would make is there should be checkboxes to include or exclude plates from the totals since 3MF Projects often have optional plates.

Over-organization isn't the problem. The problem is that "Now Me" doesn't trust that "Past Me" has already anticipated the creative blocks I'm struggling through. Went to make a board to project manage next month's models, and found a wonderful list full of model Ideas for "when I get stuck" #ADHD

searched the directory and found all these 3D printing-related starter packs, a 🧵: 3D Printable Model Makers: bsky.app/starter-pack... 3D Printing: bsky.app/starter-pack... #3dprinting Positron 3D Devs & Forks: bsky.app/starter-pack... Homelab & 3D Printing Starter Pack: bsky.app/starter-pack...

Heck yeah! Feels a little different over here. Little more hands-on. You actually seek out the stuff you want to see by asking other people for recommendations. not an algorithm. Here's a couple nice user curated #3DPrinting "starter packs" go.bsky.app/AbW1o4L go.bsky.app/9Fex5Ne

Thanks for this. The main reason this place feels more empty than BrandX is that I haven’t discovered all the awesome artists that give me a constant drip of inspiration.

Ran a cheap little LED up into Zero's nose. I still want to print the nose in transparent orange rather than the opaque red I had on hand, but this is still pretty convincing.

Nobody asked, but AI is on the rise in #3DPrinting communities, and I've been formulating my thoughts on "AI Art", and I've settled on a position that I'd encourage others to adopt. #AI #AIArt #NoAi

Zero the Dog is ready to print and adorn your Christmas Tree. Grab the files over on @Thangs3D than.gs/m/1181423 With Membership Support, I can offer my models for free for a limited time. All my designs are available to supporters. #3DPrinting #ChistmasDecoration #NightmareBeforeChristmas

My friends and I

Found a little bit of tranquility at an unexpected coastline in the back yard yesterday. And it never would have existed if I had cleaned out the yard-work bin.

What better time to introduce myself to a new community than around Christmas when I'm making a bunch of fun stuff? I'm currently test-printing this model of Zero I've made as a #NightmareBeforeChristmas Tree-topper #ornament. I share a ton of cute models over on @Thangs3d link in my bio.
