May File Location

Hey Everyone,

I have switched everything over to Dropbox to hold all of the files. There have been issues with people not seeing the newest upload for some reason so hopefully this resolves that issue.

Noibat update

Just a quick post to let you know that I have made some small changes to Noibat that will hopefully aid in a more successful print.

I made the legs a little thicker all around so they should be more stable now and the fangs have also been adjusted so that the first few layers are a little flatter and I have made the fa...

Ornamental Abra

Ornamental Abra is in the Drive folder for you now. It will need some supports under the legs and nose, but other than that it should be a fairly straight forward print! 

Have a good Monday everyone!

Flareon is good to go

No supports needed for this one so just hit slice and have fun!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Well it's the start of a new month and that means a new collection of models. Included in this month's Ornamental designs we have the winners of the community poll and those are:

Contest Winners!

First off, thank you to those that submitted a photo into the contest! There were some really great prints that came out off your printers.

Noibat, recap, and a small preview

Ornamental Noibat is waiting for you in the Drive folder and that finishes off this month's ornamental models! It will unfortunately need a lot more supports than the usual models I have released previously but I have tried to make it as minimal as possible while keeping it a good looking model. 

Going over this la...

Poll for May Ornamentals

Well it's that time again already for you to vote on what you would like to see modelled in the month of May. It will be the top 4 that will be modelled (you got lucky last time with 5!) so make sure you vote so you can help get your favourite. You have until this Friday at noon EST to make your pick!

Thanks again for e...

Ornamental Lugia

The next ornamental model in this month's releases is Lugia and it is ready for you to print! In the drive folder I have included a screenshot of where I would place custom supports on both sides of the model. 


There is one more model to be released before the end of the month and then we get a whole new set!<...

Farfetch'd Far Far!

Ornamental Farfetch'd is ready for you to download and print! Supports will be needed under the torso and maybe under the beak depending how your printer is with over hangs. 

Lugia will be up next!

Ornamental Glaceon

The Ornamental Glaceon file is ready for everyone to download. This one will need a little more supports than the last few, mainly underneath the torso and probably under the tail depending how your printer does with adhesion and over hangs. Other than that you should be good! Farfetch'd will be coming to you in the next few ...

100 Patrons and I'm speechless...

Well this Patreon just hit 100 subscribers and it's a little surreal to be honest. This Patreon has been such a fun adventure that has made me a better designer and has connected me with so many great new friends.

I have lists of models and designs that I can't wait to make for everyone and I'm looking forward to see ...

Updated Vaporeon

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick post to let you know that I have updated the original Vaporeon - Softened the back and tail spikes and increased the area under the collar so it should be a little cleaner without supports (still have supports on those first touch points though).

I have also made a version with the tail ...

Articulating Vaporeon

File is available in the Drive, articulating section. It will need some supports under the front part of the collar but other than that it’s a pretty straight forward print.

Have fun!

Vulpix is yours!

The first of this month's poll winners is Vulpix. For the FDM people you shouldn't need any supports for this one. Maybe think about a smaller layer height to ensure you get all those nice details. Just in time for some weekend printing so make sure you tag me in anything you post on your socials, I love seeing the prints! 2022-04-08 19:49:26 +0000 UTC View Post

Raichu-Pikachu-Pichu Nesting Dolls are available!

Go get em!

Contest Details

It's contest time everyone! Get those printers ready and pick out your favourite model because it's a free month of the Patreon up for grabs! As this is the first time we're running this I'm sure there will be some things that will change logistically going forward as we figure out what works best for everyone.

April Ornamental Poll

Well March has gone by quickly and just like that it is time to vote on who you would like to see modelled for April. Remember, we take the top 4 and whoever doesn't get picked will stay in the poll unless it gets zero votes, then it will be replaced with something else on the next one. This poll goes until March 30 and ...

Ornamental Eevee

The last of this month's Ornamental Pokemon is in the Drive folder ready for you to print! No supports needed for this one on your FDM printers so just slice it and hit print. 

Don't forget about our facebook group if you want to connect and share with others from the Patreon and make sure you tag me in anything yo...

Ornamental Umbreon

Umbreon is available to all patrons now! That's 3 down and 1 to go for this month with Eevee being the last one left. Umbreon should only need some small supports under the chin to make sure you get those details, otherwise it's a pretty straightforward print.

Don't forget to tag me in anything you share on your socials...

Gible Pen Holder/Eater

Here's a nice and easy print for everyone in between Ornamentals. A little companion for your desks who can keep your pens or paint brushes safe in his mouth.

I also did up a quick planter version as well if you want him to eat some pl...

A HUUUUGE thank you to everyone who has joined this Patreon and chosen to support me, continue to push my designs, and create some pretty awesome prints in the process!

This has been a big month in terms of how much we have grown so far, 22 new patrons in the last 2 weeks so I would like to say welcome to all of our n...

Ornamental Dragonite

The Ornamental version of Dragonite is ready for everyone to print! I did a bit of a new pattern for this one compared to the previous so let me know what you think. I thought it would be a good idea to change it up a bit and I think I like how this one turned out. I did one ornamental version that was sort of like a hammered...

50 Patron Goal

As we get ever so closer to the 50 Patron Goal I wanted to just do a quick post for it. Once we hit the goal we will be running a monthly contest with 2 winners receiving one month of the Patreon for free!

Categories for the contest will be Best Painted model and best photo of a model for those that aren't into the wh...

Mewtwo - Ornamental Version

A quick post to let everyone know that the Ornamental version of Mewtwo is waiting for you in the Drive folder. The basic version will be uploaded next, it just has to be posed. For FDM you should only need supports on the feet, under the side... nubs? And under the left arm. I haven't test printed him yet, just uploaded him ...

Back Catalogue is OPEN!

So after some thinking and a bit of communication from some current members I have decided to forgo the 100 Patron goal to open up the back catalogue of files and just open it up now. I want to give everyone the opportunity to print their favourite model whenever they want, regardless of when they join.

I have made some...
