IT'S JUNETEENTH! There is still so much fucking work to do in this country to clean up the blood it was built on and so many reparations owed.

One of the small ways we can help is actively seeking out, hiring, supporting and buying from Black artists.

I'm no longer with Polygon. If you're hiring, please consider the many talented writers and editors now on the market. Every one of them deserves a spot on your staff. I won't be talking more about the sale because I wasn't involved.

Going to hang out with my kid. Taking wins where I can.

A 3D-printed customizable action figure styled as Omni-Man from Invincible, standing in a powerful superhero pose with clenched fists. The figure has a muscular, minimalist design with smooth surfaces ideal for painting. This version features Omni-Man’s signature red-and-white costume. The face is hand-painted with sharp, determined eyes and a bold Vitrumite mustache. The figure wears stylized sneakers and stands on a circular base with embedded magnets for easy posing and head swaps. The matte finish contrasts with glossy red paint, giving it a premium designer toy aesthetic. Created by HarperCrafthall as part of the Li’l FAB•!T series—a blank-canvas figure meant for custom painting and modular customization.

A raw, unpainted 3D-printed figure in a heroic stance with clenched fists, printed on a Bambu Labs X1Carbon FDM printer. A few other heads with different expressions on them are lying around. The gray plastic surface is covered in hand-drawn charcoal pencil sketches outlining Omni-Man’s rage filled face, and costume details, including a chest emblem, and costume. Light shading marks muscle definition on the torso and limbs. The minimalist design—with smooth layers and slight FDM texture—showcases the blank-canvas potential of the Li’l FAB•!T series by HarperCrafthall, meant for artists to plan, sketch, and paint their own custom characters.

A 3D-rendered digital model of a blank, undecorated action figure in a bold superhero stance, rendered in ZBrush with smooth, polished surfaces. The figure stands with clenched fists, a broad-shouldered torso, and minimalist facial features, leaving room for custom expressions. Its design includes stylized sneakers with clean, geometric soles and a circular base featuring recessed slots for magnets. The model’s androgynous face, untextured hair area, and absence of costume details emphasize its role as a customizable base for digital or physical artists. Part of the Li’l FAB•!T series by HarperCrafthall, this 3D-printable figure is designed for resin or FDM printing, with modular head, body, and base components to encourage remixing, sculpting, or digital kitbashing.

The Custom hero base - FAB•!T is available for download from my 3D print share sites.

Would love to see how people print and customize it!

Here's my process of sketching Omni-Man on my customizable base FAB•!T figure.

Used charcoal pencil and kneaded eraser to good effect. I'll try a regular soft pencil for next time around, but I find the charcoal to be a great way to sketch expressively.

Who wants to draw some faces?

I can't keep up with all the characters I want to make, so I made a blank Li'l Crafty so you can draw whoever you want!

Trying out a range of expressions to verify that I've made him suitably customizable.

Happy with the range, but need to make a lady base next.

Her shapes are so good. I picture her walking with one of those #Hanna-Barbera spinning legs animations.

“Gray is not an Easter color.” my wife says to me. So I guess I’ve gotta spend a little time painting these test prints up to make use of them during the inaugural Easter Bug Hunt.

Alien Easter Egg - Aliens Fanart Xenomorph Facehugger Easter Decoration This Alien Easter Egg idea came to me while I was making my (forthcoming) Li'l Ripley and Xenomorph model. Since I'm blending the Alien characters with the aesthetic of Mario and Yoshi, I included a ...

You know the other cool thing? Only 2 others of those 10 are toys.

In my accounting,storage, tools, ppe, and print tests (all important) are part of that “I print things for my printer” category but don’t even factor into the “I want to have that thing” space where toys live.

@thegamebakers.bsky.social I had a really lovely time playing the Cairn demo this evening. I think I wrung every route and item out of the warmup gym, but I'm sure there are many more secrets tucked away on this starter ascent, let alone the full game. Looking forward to this one now.

This is a little something for those Valentines who are looking for something a little more Bizarre. It's fashioned after the appearance of an avocado pit being sprouted in a jar. There always seemed to be one of these on our windowsill when I was growing up but there was nary a bud. I can't help but imagine all the other things that could be skewered over a jar that would never sprout, but how fascinating it WOULD be if you could achieve the desired result with something a bit more macabre.

"Did you make a Valentine's Day Mandrake!?" my daughter exclaimed from across the house.

I think that's what they mean when they say kids are such an inspiration right?

Unclear if she noticed that it was a heart...

I'm almost finished with my latest #3Dprinted piece of weird decor for #Valentines

Needed to figure out more mechanics for this than I'd imagined so it's been pretty slow going.

Hell Yeah @alexberkowitz.bsky.social !

Love these!

I've got some different elastic coming in the mail so I can try stringing them up the way they were designed, but looping #StretchMagic elastic beading cord through every face worked pretty good.

3d printed pieces with elastic thread stringing them together.

The model is ”Squishy Fidget D20" by @alexberkowitz.bsky.social on Printables.com

The build requires a little patience to thread an elastic cord through all the faces so it can stretch and squish, but it's a really satisfying project. Already made 2 of them today.

Found a cool new fidget toy that's perfect for end-of-spool prints.

Searching for what to print with the last few meters of filament?

Make (quiet) fidget toys and give them to your local elementary. Special Ed teachers need sensory toys for the kids and they often have to buy them out of pocket.

The comments are characterizing the models as IP theft, and therefore moral to steal. Is this the tone of the age we’re in? 2D Fanart is everywhere and making people a good living. when modeling takes an order of magnitude more effort, it’s pretty disheartening to see this erosion of support.

YouTube video by 3D Printing Nerd Stolen Models Everywhere!

The latest video from @3dprintingnerd is covering .STL theft, a topic that we’re all pretty close to.

I’m pretty disgusted by the “it’s ok to steal from thieves” tone of the comments regarding fan art, and I want to see more people weigh in on this.

First Ninja and now Power Rangers.

I started out with the goal of just creating some generic action poses for the heads I made for my October #MASKtober challenge. Instead here I am with a small handful of new figures.

Next time I swear I'll make a generic base.

I do, and I will, thank you for sharing this cute lil guy.

Starting off my second season of figures. Lil Snake Eyes is up for grabs.

One of the least popular heads from my MASKtober bunch, so of course it's the first one I convert into a full figure.

I think that's pretty much required, but every image I have in my head of Stormshadow has him airborne so I'll need to noodle on the design a bit.

With that pairing in mind, what would be a better base design, the Joe and Cobra logos or the clan Arashikage logo?

Y'all, nothing derails me fastr (in a productive way) than a little drip of positive feedback.

Enthused Fan(asking about printing my LilCraftys): I love the SnakeEyes head is there a body for it yet?
me: NO, it was the least popular head from MASKtober so it's pretty low pri.

also me 3 days later:

mecha.so/comet

Will be experimenting with this palette soon.

If anyone knows any #3DPrinting filaments that nail these colors, please share.
