[New Files and Free Download!] Death Trooper miniatures have been added to the February Officer and Specialist rewards!

It's time for another miniature release! I wanted to do some more Star Wars minis and really flush out some other eras. These Death Troopers should go real well with the Stormtroopers released in December!

[New Files!] 40k Purity Seals and magnets have been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Another of the older 40k files is now ready for release, we actually used these as part of our chainsword project but finally got around to getting them ready for public release!

Included in the files are 2 different stamp styles. Both include a standalone seal, seal stamp, seal mold, and seal magnet. The magnet has a 20mm x 3mm hole and works great for ensuring your 3d printers are prope...

[New Files!] The Helldivers 2 Hell-Bent helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

We've got 4 projects planned from the latest Helldivers Warbond and here's the first one! This one definitely gave us Army of 2 vibes (I hope a few of you remember those games) so we definitely had to make it!

The helmet features:
- Assembled, casting, and solid versions
- Pre-separated interlocking parts for easier printing. The dome has been pre-cut into 3 sections with printable ...

[New Files!] The 40k Thousand Sons helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Quick Note: I fixed some overlapping geometry on the static chainsword version and a new V2 has been released! Find it in the Instant Exclusives folder.

Even more obnoxious than the World Eaters helmet - this helmet is not for the faint of heart! It has one of the largest profiles of any helmet I've done, coupled with a super complex separation style, which made it quite a challenge to de...

[File Update!] The 500kg Bomb now has a Pen version!

Show that special Helldiver in your life how much you love them with the Democracy spreading 500kg Bomb pen!

Check out Version 3 of the 500kg Bomb file released earlier this month for a new variant! It now accepts a standard BIC Cristal pen core to transform a boring 3d print into something mightier than a sword!

The base has also been slightly modified to fit the pen tip, to safely...

[New Files!] Another custom Mando helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

This was another custom Mando helmet idea I had and with the help of @GC_ConceptArt we've brought it to life! Mandos, specifically Din Djarin, have always had a bit of a gunslinger vibe to them so I wanted to dial that up to 11. It features a cowboy hat inspired sun visor, leather details, and ammo holsters to really bring it all together.

The helmet features:
- Assembled version
- ...

[Video] We 3D printed a flaming sword in PLA!

We've been hard at work in the background working on this flaming sword video for a month now, it's been a great way to experiment with integrating flames into our 3d designs!

I posed this video as a bit of a design challenge for us.
I wanted the sword to:
- Be made out of PLA
- Have the fuel be completely self-contained in the hilt
- Burn for at least 10 seconds
- Have t...

[New Files x2!] 2 custom Mando helmets have been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Recently I wanted to do some more custom Mando concepts with specific themes and thought what better than a 2 part Angelic/Demonic release! The very talented @GC_ConceptArt, who has provided us with some of our best helmet concepts, took the idea and ran with it in some gorgeous ways.

Both helmets include the following features:
- Assembled version, 1 with pre-supported nose brow and 1...

[New Files!] The Grey Knights helmet has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Here's one of the unfinished 40k projects all buttoned up and ready for a release! Like all my other 40k stuff, it will be a Patreon exclusive.

The Grey Knights have always been one of my favorite aesthetics in WH. There's just something about a big plow-face I enjoy!

The helmet features:
- Assembled and Solid versions
- Pre-separated version
- Pre-cut parts for smaller pri...

[Video] Titus Helmet Tutorial Extended Cut

This original post got nuked when the fake DMCA came through so just a quick re-upload and we're good to go! It's the extended Space Marine 2 Titus helmet tutorial with EXTENSIVE advice and tips.

It'll take some time to process as it's a large video, just give it an hour or so!

[New Files!] Luv's Blaster from Blade Runner has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

Pretty fortuitous timing on this one as they're actively auctioning the original prop, you won't need to pay $11,000 for this one though!

The blaster comes pre-separated into 21 easy-to-assemble pieces. It also includes an assembled version for reference or large scale printing. Bambu Studio project and GCODE files are also included to get started printing sooner!

Hope you all enjoy...

[New Files!] The Helldivers 2 500kg Bomb has been added to the February Specialist rewards!

🢁🢂🢃🢃🢃

In a move that may get us in trouble with the federal government, we made some files for a FAKE AND NON-FUNCTIONAL 500kg Bomb from Helldivers 2 - and we made it life sized!

It actually comes in 2 versions: a life sized version and a desktop version. The life sized version stands at 2.3 meters tall while the desktop version is only about 6" long. 2025-02-03 18:20:50 +0000 UTC View Post

[40k Announcement] We're back!!!

Phew, what a headache this has been. For those unaware, someone filed a fake DMCA for all the 40k stuff, Patreon thought it was real, and all the cosplay files were removed from our Patreon for some time. I had to file a counter-notice and Patreon gave them 10 business days to follow up with legal proceedings. Since whomever filed it obviously wasn't GW, and I assume they didn't want to perjure...

[New Files] The Armorer Armor has been added to the January Specialist rewards!

Got another full armor release for you guys today, The Armorer! Both the armor and the helmet (which was done a while ago) have been added to the January Specialist folder.

While most of the parts for this costume are soft goods, this should be all you need to finish the hard parts! We even modeled some of the traditionally soft goods if you want to 3d print them instead. I would recommen...

[New Files!] A functional Grappling Hook has been added to the January Specialist rewards!

Here's a fun little project for you guys, Kay Vess' grappling hook from Star Wars: Outlaws!

Full build video and shopping list are included in the files, we tried to make it as easy and straightforward to assemble as possible. It uses rubber bands to tension all the arms and can be locked in the "stowed" position, you just twist the cap at the bottom to release!

This blaster can be seen in a few different places throughout Skeleton Crew but most notably as a chest piece for Captain Silvo's first mate Brutus!

It's a month for Darth Vader variants! This has always been one of my favorite variants of Vader and I'm so excited to bring him to life in 3 exciting figurines and 3 desktop busts! We didn't source this from any particular media but was mostly a combination of the old Force Unleashed damaged Vader appearance and the damaged helmet from Kenobi.

There's quite a few projects included in thi...

[New Files!] A floating Luke Skywalker Lightsaber has been added to the January Specialist rewards!

We've made a file that uses this awesome magnetic shoe display before but finally got around to making one of the more obvious props to use with it - a Lightsaber!

Unfortunately there aren't many good candidates for this system since you need a specific emitter style to fit the floating magnet but we've got a few more planned.

How it works: The lightsaber screws together and enclose...
