A fully modelled desktop microwave with an open door, containing an exact miniature replica of itself sitting on the glass turntable inside. Twin Units: The outer and inner models share identical proportions, dial placement, and control panels. Open Doors: Both doors are swung open at fixed angles so the inner unit is fully visible. Display Ready: Features an integrated turntable and bevelled corners. Intended as a single-piece print, though supports will be needed for the door frames and upper cavities.
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.
A 100mm geometric representation of a Pomeranian dog. No thread standard or host bracket for this one. The critical measurement to check before printing is the 100mm overall length from the nose to the back of the tail. Built from simple intersecting volumes to approximate the heavy coat and compact frame of the breed, rather than a detailed scan. Base: Flattened at Z=0 for reliable build plate adhesion. Fitment: Stands independently. Fits standard desk shelves and displays. Clearances: Check your cooling settings for the overhangs under the snout and tail.
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
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.
A minimal, wall-mounted display shelf featuring a low-poly hexagonal platform. Perfect for lightweight prints or figures, the wall plate is kept short and unobtrusive so the focus stays on what you're displaying. Low-profile wall plate with two mounting holes Hexagonal "iceberg" shape platform Designed to print flat on its back for maximum corner strength
