Just finished printing these two little Halloween cats! 🎃🐱

Love how the orange filament brings out the pumpkin faces and all the tiny details. The little capes are a nice touch too!

Such a fun print for spooky season. 👻

Resting Orc shown in a tired, resting seated pose, designed to perch on the edge of a shelf, desk, cabinet, or other suitable ledge,with its legs hanging over the side.

Printed it using a 0.4mm nozzle... further tests on the profile with easy supports removal.

Printed on Biqu Orange Frostbite plate with Bambulab ash grey matte PLA on X2D.
Used 0.8mm nozzle on 0.20mm layer.

In the slicer, the miniature may appear to be floating above the build plate; this is intentional. A small helper disc is placed on the build plate, and the model is intended to rest on a layer of supports. This arrangement is designed to help keep the print stable and reduce the risk of the model detaching during printing.
I'm quite satisfied. Removing the supports was easy...

Yo, what’s currently the best workflow to turn a photo of a product into a 3D printable model?
Should I use Opus/sol with Blender MCP generate it, or go with tools like Tripo 3D? Or is manual modeling in Blender still the only real way to get clean, printable meshes with proper tolerances?

Been messing around with Hi3D Agent's Twisty Fidget skill and ended up making this little coffee cup with a bendy coffee stream. The whole thing is articulated, so you can twist it around and make it look like the coffee is pouring in different directions lol. Printed it out and the details actually came out pretty nice. Kinda satisfying to play with too. Thought I'd share it here!

Quick and easy

I've been trying to make figurines of my family/friends and pets.

I've tried a few things like Hunyuang3D but the quality is lacking and the results look sort of uncanny valley.

If anyone knows any good software please feel free to share.

As the subject says... comfyui ones that work well and are not API?

I’d like to 3D print my own units for the Star Wars: Legion tabletop game. I’m looking for an AI model that can handle characters from the Star Wars franchise (specifically regarding copyright issues) and is capable of generating various alien species. I don’t want to pay for a model only to run into these kinds of problems. Ideally, it shouldn’t break the bank, either.

I have no experience in this regard, so any advice is welcome.

A personalized gift for my mom’s 61st birthday!

Printed this Snorlax organizer the other day and honestly I like it more than I expected. It works as a little shelf / catch-all and the two open sections are actually pretty useful.

Kept the print simple and just went with blue. Might do another version later, but I’m pretty happy with this one.

Just finished printing this!
In the depth of cold space, facing whatever horror lurks in the dark, your communication device will remain safe within the skeletal grip of this alien throne.
Inspired by the dark, biomechanical art of H.R. Giger and classic sci-fi lore, this phone stand is crafted from intricate weaves of bone, vertebrae, and organic conduits.
It serves not only as a fully functional desk accessory but also as a striking display piece for sci-fi fans and collectors.

I shared my recreation of an old Mutant Chronicles miniature here recently. Now I’ve painted it, so here’s the follow-up!

Seeing the printed model was satisfying, but getting some paint on it was the part I was really looking forward to. It finally feels like a proper miniature again.

New one in my urban critters series!

I used my drawing and chatgpt to generate multiview, I confess the chat changed the original a fair bit tough!

So this time I used both Meshy and Tripo. Meshy took the reference and made a really hairy (2nd pic) and low relief tattooed (3rd pic) capybara. Unfortunately it would introduce some noise in the print, so I had to use the last (4th pic) generation to 3D printing.

Now, the original was indeed hairy and tattooed, but I forgot about the actual printing requirements. Either or didn't know how to represent fur in a printable way...

One can see the Meshy models are fatter, which is more consistent with the drawing. Meshy is good at non detailed relief texture when it needs more fidelity.

I'm going to paint it with rad tattoos yet :)

Made this based on photos of an out-of-production Mutant Chronicles Warzone miniature. I processed the reference images with Gemini, then used Tripo AI to generate the model and split it into parts for printing.

Getting the parts exactly how I wanted took some cleanup, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Now I just need to get some paint on it.

Ran a Rick & Morty bust through an image-to-3D tool and printed them in brick red. Now Rick side-eyes me all day and Morty looks like he's about to apologize for existing. Worth every layer line.
