CandleGuard — Lithophane Shade Core
Created today
Description
Introducing CandleGuard, a structural canvas designed specifically for cylindrical lithophanes. Built to sit safely over standard candle bulbs, the design incorporates internal geometry to manage heat and prevent material softening when printed in standard filaments like PLA.
Features
- Thermal Standoff: Six internal ribs maintain a strict 15mm air gap between the lampshade wall and the bulb surface.
- Litho-Ready: A constant 1.5mm outer shell provides an ideal blank cylinder for applying lithophane textures.
- Snag-Free Installation: Chamfered rib edges allow the unit to drop smoothly over the lighting fixture without catching.
Dimensions
- Outer Diameter: 80mm
- Overall Height: 100mm
- Wall Thickness: 1.5mm

Low-Poly Geometric Chess Knight
A modernized, low-poly chess knight. The structure is built with a reduced polygon count, giving every curve a deliberate, faceted surface.

SHOW ME WHAT YOUVE GOT desk sign Sign
A freestanding tabletop sign featuring chunky, blocky typography. The letters are aligned to stand up directly on the print bed with no internal supports or backing plate required, fusing slightly into an upright self-supporting structure. What it's for A simple, bold statement piece that stands on its own. Print notes Orientation: Prints directly on its flat edge without supports. Clearances: The top and bottom lines of text intersect just enough to hold the sign together. Filament: A matte or textured filament works well to hide heavy layer lines on the flat face.
Show Me — Desk Sign
The classic desk sign, remixed. This freestanding tabletop block drops a solid underline beneath the bottom row of text, fusing everything together for a sturdier base while maintaining the chunky, self-supporting typographic aesthetic. Features Solid Baseline: The new chunky 5mm underline ties the bottom text together, making it more stable on the desk. Support-Free Design: Prints flat on its back or bottom edge without relying on bridges or supports. Vibrant Typography: Heavy weight text makes a statement while being physically robust.
Geometric Apiary Disc
A stark geometric disc defined by its negative space. This 130mm diameter frame encloses a rigid 20mm hexagonal grid, creating a structural web that feels both organic and strictly calculated. Design Specs Outer Diameter: 130mm Thickness: 2mm throughout Cell Size: 20mm (flat-to-flat) Webbing: 1mm between cells
Support-Free Brain Disco Ball
Having a massive bald spot on the forehead just makes the whole thing look unfinished, but printing the bumps straight into the eye sockets ruins the face entirely. I narrowed the clearance zone down to just the immediate space around the eyes—the upper forehead is covered in brain folds again, but they stop right before crashing into the eyes. Base fits an 11mm dowel Completely solid core Prints without supports
Velocity — Armed Mascot Figure
A stylized geometric interpretation of a fast blue hedgehog mascot, designed as a static desktop figure. Organic modelling isn't native to this format, so the design uses bold, primitive shapes to capture the silhouette—complete with sweeping back-spikes, oversized eyes, and a blocky tactical blaster clamped in the jawline. Details Geometric Spikes: Arrayed in a swept-back pattern to simulate motion. Multipart Colouring: Segments are broken out for the snout, eyes, and hardware to stand out clearly. Integrated Stand: A flat 60mm circular base keeps the figure stable on a desk.
