Happy 29th anniversary to Final Fantasy VII. It remains one of the most memorable games ever for me, with an unforgettable story and soundtrack.

Excited to share this with you. This is my very first LEGO focused design & I’m honestly in love with it. Some of you already know I’m a huge LEGO fan & AFOL, so this was bound to happen 😄

The model brings together several 3D printing techniques like HueForge.

I’ll be releasing this very soon 🚀

It's been a minute, but I'm Hueforging again 😄
I got a cool model for LEGO enthusiasts lined up

Ok Disney, Tron: Ares was really bad. It felt like a personal art project that cared more about style than story. Visually slick, but the plot was weak, and so many scenes dragged on with nothing happening. Honestly just a waste of time.

Received this really cool gift from the NexPrint team.

It's the first time I ever received such a gift, so I'm pretty excited about it 😅

Thank you NexPrint team and @elegoo.bsky.social

Currently test printing some Fallout Mini Nuke Light parts and ran into some PETG issues 😏

Anyone any experience with an ultrasonic cutter like a Hanboost C1? I'm getting more requests that involve resin printing and I'm wondering if support removal would be easier with a tool like that.

LEGO Star Wars has officially revealed images of the new SMART PLAY sets: 75421 Darth Vader's TIE Advanced, & 75423 Luke's X-wing, 75427 Throne Room Duel.

These will feature a smart brick that will interact with the LEGO elements. The R2-D2 minifigure has been reimagined with a moveable head.

Finally started my Blender journey by diving into a 14 hour course on Udemy Business. Coming from a CAD background with Fusion 360, I am curious to see how Blender modelling techniques will influence & expand the way I design & create.

Finished the design of a new lighting project. A mini nuke from the Fallout games. Currently test printing it now 😊

Should I release this model as just a prop too? (without all the lightning features)

I’m really enjoying the @prusa3d.com Printables Wrapped. It’s great to get a clear overview of what I accomplished over the past year.

2025 hasn’t been my strongest year but I still managed to released 40 models 😊

I really appreciate everyone who’s supporting me in one way or another. Thank you 💗

This is so true 🤣

Released 3 new Star Wars themed designs recently.

An Imperial piece focused on decay and dominance, a Rebel design centered around persistence and hope, and a minimalist Christmas artwork built entirely from iconic shapes.

Now available. Links in bio.

New shadow box dropped in from a galaxy not so far away. Darth Vader - Homecoming is here, complete with twin suns, desert vibes, and one dramatic cape.

Apparently even Sith Lords get homesick. 😄

Now available for free. Links in bio.

Vader’s Homecoming. Eight layers of Tatooine heat, twin suns hanging low, and a very dramatic Vader making his return. A fun mix of silhouettes, desert mood, and Star Wars nostalgia.

Coming soon.

Dropped 6 new "Halloween in Layers" designs.

Frankenstein’s Monster, Chucky, Jason, Freddy, Michael Myers, and Pinhead now stand alongside the earlier creatures. Together they form a clean yet chilling line-up of classic terror.

Now available. Links in bio.

2 new monsters have crept into the Halloween in Layers collection: The Mummy & Dracula.

Each one is built up in layers of grey, white, and dark blue, giving them just enough depth to feel alive… or almost. Together they bring a mix of eerie calm and classic Halloween charm. Links in bio.

Something eerie has taken shape . A haunted manor glowing under the moonlight and a zombie clawing its way back from the shadows. These two pieces mark the start of my new Halloween collection, created to capture the spirit of the season with depth, light, and texture.

Now available. Links in bio.
