A printer your printer can print while you print.
My first printer was a Flashforge, and that's what inspired this model! Print a tiny one for yourself. A printer printing a printer? It's micro-fabrication all the way down. This desktop diorama captures the essence of modern FDM right in the middle of a calibration print. Perfect for sitting on top of your actual extruder to remind it what peak performance looks like. Design Notes Support-Free Structure: The internal print acts as a load-bearing column, bridging straight up to the gantry to hold the roof without sagging. Multi-Color Ready: Separated into the main enclosure, the mechanics, the acrylic-style dome, and an aggressively bright calibration cone. Scale: Sized closely to a standard benchy.
Abu Kizan Outbuilding Miniature
A 60mm scale miniature modelled after Red Sea lighthouse outbuildings. It features a hollowed, two-storey masonry block base with a mid-level verandah. The facades include double square windows on each floor, protected by continuous wrap-around sloped sunshades. Features: 60mm square footprint Wrap-around verandah 16 square window frames Dual continuous awnings
Microwave-Headed Figure
A blocky, stylized figure featuring a standard microwave oven in place of a human head. The body is proportioned like a classic low-poly character, clad in a muted blue-grey suit with dark grey limbs. The microwave head includes standard appliance details: A recessed dark viewing window on the left. A silver control strip on the right. A prominent dial and input buttons. The model is constructed with distinct regions, allowing for easy selection and colour adjustments to the shell, window, and clothing.
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
Spherical Smiley Face
What it's for A simple, perfectly spherical smiley face. Dimensions Diameter: 1 inch (25.4 mm) Base: None (perfect sphere) Print notes Printing a perfect sphere usually requires supports at the very bottom to prevent the first few layers from curling. A brim or a small raft can also help keep it anchored to the build plate.
