This is where the magic happens. Here in my 850sft workshop, I design, build, package and ship each work of art I create. I employ a fleet of Bambu Labs P1S 3D printers. Each powered by my own solar power facility located elsewhere on the property. This ensures that production is stable and continuous, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
During peak shopping seasons I put in 10-12 hours a day in the workshop; While checking on equipment and replacing empty spools of filament throughout the night, even on holidays. My work is literally my life but I don't think of it as work, because I truly love and enjoy everything that I do. I have been very fortunate to be able to do what I do and realize that it could end at any minute. So I live/work as though there were no tomorrow.
I'm dedicated to producing top quality artwork. That means sourcing only the best filaments (PLA/PETG-HF), adhesives (3DGloop!), wiring/electronics and photo paper stock (72lbs).
I'm also committed to shipping everything as quickly and safely as possible. I'm proud to say that less than 2% of packages are reported damaged or lost in shipping. But if that should happen, I will replace it or refund your order. See Terms Of Service for more information about shipping.

"Have a 3D model you'd like printed?"
Whether it's a 3D model you've created yourself or one you've found online, I'll print it! Click the 'Request a quote' button below to email me. Provide a link to the 3D model or STL files and I will let get back to you with pricing and options.
Notice: I reserve the right to refuse your commission at any time. I WILL NOT print illegal items such as 'ghost guns'.
"Are you wanting a custom 3D model designed?"
While I do not offer my full design services to the general public, I do know someone who is up for the job.
If it's custom figures and accessories you need, I highly recommend JD Makes.
And once you have your custom model designed I will be more than happy to print it for you!

Production begins with an idea. It could be something I saw in a TV series or movie or it may have been the brainstorm of a customer/fan who suggested it. I'm always open to new ideas and accept them through my Patreon page.
Once I have the idea, it's on to designing it. I use Lightwave 3D 7.5. You may not be familiar with this particular CAD software as it is not uncommonly used for this application. In fact, it's so old and out dated that to many it's considered an ancient relic, lost and forgotten to time. I however, love this software and use it to create all of my models.
Through use of Lightwave 3D 7.5 and Bambu Labs' slicer program, I am able to design detailed 3D models; Which can then be printed. Print times of course vary depending on the settings used, size of the model and whether there are any issues during the printing process.
With a successful print in hand I can move on to the next step. Cleaning away support materials and blemishes takes a little time but it's an important part of the process. During this time if I notice anything that needs to be corrected with the model,I will correct it and print the corrected model.
Light kits include either a single LED, multiple individual LED's or a housing which holds measured LED strips. The light kit is built from scratch. It is assembled so that all of the lights needed for the model are wired together and labeled. I use my own proprietary connectors, consisting of either 2 or 4 pins. A 4-pin connector includes the ability to control some of the lights using an LED Controller which I also designed and built from scratch.
The lights are then fitted into the body of the model or in most cases the light and housing are attached to the model and held in place by a system of clips. This makes it possible to remove the light kit if needed. Unfortunately not all lighting is done this way. In some situations the lights are integrated into the model and cannot be removed.

The lights operate on 12 volts. A 12 power supply is usually supplied with the order or can be purchased separately from my Shop page.
Finally, the lights are tested and if everything checks out alright; Then I package the order and ship it directly to the customer. There is no middle man. When you order a commissioned work from me, I do all of the work myself and I ship you the completed piece(s) as described.

It is this work that you are paying for and never for the model itself. I do not do commissioned design work for the general public. My 3D models are available for FREE!
So what I do I sell if not the 3D models?
In addition to commission work, I make and sell a variety of products and accessories. These include light kits, power supplies, LED controllers, unofficial replacement parts for officially licensed products and an adult boardgame called The Manopoly® Game. All of which are available in my Shop. Check it out!
The Manopoly® Game is a registered property of Triple-Fiction Productions.

"What's the production process like?"
"Will you make me something?"
If this is one part of many, needing to be assembled to form the final art piece; Then bonding pieces together is the next step. This is done using 3DGloop!
This chemical compound is one of the best on the market and has become my go-to glue. It does however contain some very harmful chemicals. One of which is Dichloromethane (California Proposition 65 Warning: This chemical is known to cause cancer and birth defects or another reproductive harm).
Once the model is assembled and looks good, I will move to the next step. With most static (non-illuminated) models, the next step is usually applying graphics in the form of high quality printed stickers. These stickers start out being designed by me, using Adobe After Effects. I print all of my graphic designs on glossy photo paper stock. It's usually heavy stock of about 72lbs. Then the printed graphic is laminated. This is followed by the application of double-sided adhesive tape to the back side of the paper. After which, each graphic is cut out by hand and applied to the printed model.
The finally step in the process from this point is either to package it for shipping or to add lights. If the customer has requested lights added, then that process begins with building lights kits.
