3-D Printing

3D printing has become one of my new passions. I purchased my first printer in December 2022 because my kids really wanted to do 3D printing. Turns out they are not into it like they convinced me they were. I am glad they talked me into it though. I now have upgraded to the top of the line printer and learn something new everyday. I started with 3D scanning ceramic projects I have made and printing those. I have also been learning how to create my own designs with a variety of software. I have been successfully creating my own designs with CAD software and printing those as well. My main goal is to learn how to print large scale sculptural projects.
The Garden Gnomes are the first step. Stay tuned for more to come in the future.
I have also started taking on jobs 3d printing other peoples models. I can also take on some CAD design projects. If you have a file you would like printed or design work don't hesitate to contact. I can give you a cost estimate asap.

3D Printing history

These are examples of the 3D printing I have done in the past as I learned how to create models and operate a 3D printer.

Rainbow Garden Gnome

This print is created by 3D scanning a ceramic garden gnome that I created. I then upload it to my computer and "tinker" with it until I get a model that I want to print. This Garden Gnome is printed with a "transparent rainbow" PETG filament. I use PETG filament a lot because it is water proof and uv resistant making this Guy safe to put in your garden. He is * inches tall.

Standing Chrome blue Garden Gnome

This print is created by 3D scanning a ceramic garden gnome that I created. I then upload it to my computer and "tinker" with it until I get a model that I want to print. This Garden Gnome is printed with a "Chameleon Mirror Chrome" PLA Silk filament. He is 4 inches tall.

This print is created by 3D scanning a ceramic Halloween character that I created. I then upload it to my computer and "tinker" with it until I get a model that I want to print. This Halloween character is printed with a "transparent rainbow" PETG filament. I use PETG filament a lot because it is water proof and uv resistant making this Guy safe to put in your garden. He is 4 inches tall.

Patterns In Green

This piece is one of my wall sculpture forms. It is 100% 3D printed parts. I was inspired by a photo of barnacles I took while at the beach in western Washington.
