Nested Microwave Display
A delightfully absurd display piece featuring a classic microwave oven that has been swung open to reveal a second, fully-formed miniature microwave resting comfortably inside on the turntable space. Two-Tier Detailing: Both appliances feature their own dedicated screens, dials, and chunky button layouts. Solid Doors: The outer door is fixed in a swung-open position, while the inner microwave sits securely with its solid door shut. Proportions: The outer chassis measures 60x40x35mm, sized appropriately for desktop display.
100mm Pomeranian Display Figurine
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 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.
100mm Number 10 Display Plate
A 100mm square display plate featuring the number "10" in bold Archivo Black. Size: 100x100mm square, 3mm thick Text: Raised 3mm above the plate surface Edges: 5mm corner rounding for clean aesthetics Application: Useful for tables, numbering systems, or display markers
Seattle Space Needle Model
A stylized, 205mm-tall desktop model of the Seattle Space Needle. Designed specifically for FDM printing, the overhangs on the saucer and the angles of the structural legs are tuned to print cleanly without requiring generated supports. Support-free design: The lower saucer flare is angled to bridge safely, and the iconic pinched legs are solid structural members. Print-in-place: Assembled as one continuous body from the stepped base to the top of the spire. Classic aesthetic: Features the three paired legs, the central core, and a segmented top house reminiscent of the original 1962 fair design.
Miniature Rope Swing Plank
A simple, well-proportioned rectangular block designed to act as a miniature swing seat or hanging platform. Remix Hooks Footprint: Currently 59mm wide and 40mm deep, but completely scalable for different dioramas. Thickness: 19mm thick. Rope holes: 5mm diameter holes spaced 6mm from each end, ready for string or paracord. Finish: Features a 2mm rounding on all edges so it isn't sharp to the touch.
