Today I proudly celebrate 10 years of 3D modeling free 3D printable minis!
Today I proudly celebrate 10 years of 3D modeling, printing & painting D&D minis, all for free and all for the world to enjoy! It all started 10 years ago when I posted on reddit a simple black dragon I put together on Tinkercad that the local library 3D printed for me. It blew up on reddit so I made another dragon. Then I learned Blender and decided to 3D model the entire Monster Manual. From there this went from a simple hobby to now my full time profession and I'm loving it!
Thank you all for your kind words and support over the years. I was able to set up a successful Patreon, grow a small community, and model over 5000 minis! If you ever need a mini 3D printed for your games chances are I've made it. Just google "name of creature mz4250" and you'll see the free link, be it on Shapeways, Printables, Thingiverse or on Patreon directly.
Here are a few of my favorite galleries of my works that I think would set up anyone for their D&D campaign. The free file links are below each image:

I've actually made a variety of other D&D books ready for 3D printing but these are the must haves I feel :)
Anyway thanks again friends! And as always all my models are free and posted daily here: https://www.patreon.com/mz4250
Oh and if you're curious about about my Patreon I offer my patrons access to all my 5000+ pre-supported TTRPG models in one place, along with commercial options, a discord, and requests board. The drives have all the same models that are already out there for free in the internet. Its more for convenience rather than exclusivity.
WUG is finally finished, we did our first test fit last night and tweaked everything that needed fixing. It was a long road and we used A LOT of new techniques, but it was worth it in the end! Just need a few things for my Invincible 2 crew mate and we’ll be ready for #galaxycon!
A bith day gift for my good friend @artofmaquenda I finished lat year but never posted here. Sinc either brithday today again I felt it was the perfect time finally to do so :)
New models up on my Thangs FeliciaDay3D page! https://thangs.com/feliciaday3d The keychain is FREE to download!!!! PLUS this month Thangs will match subscriptions and downloads and donate to LGBQTA+ charities to celebrate Pride! A certain character I played in the past would LOVE this :)
Check to see if you have any local maker spaces, get the file and go! No need to have a printer of your own to start experimenting! :D
I finally got around to it. I said I was gonna do it and now I am. Under the read more.
First four pictures are the old suit, last three are of the new one.
The bodysuit used to be fucking BAD. In the desire to find lightweight fabric that wouldn't overheat me, I went and got this fabric that was.. just the worst. It was too thin, not very stretchy, and it RAN.
Any raw edges exposed to a force stronger than a gentle tug would separate and become unrepairable. Imagine your costume fucking separating at the seams cause something pulled on it a little.
I got most of the way before I said "this sucks ass, I'm restarting." So I went to Joanne's and dropped another 70 dollars on this wonderful modal knit thats discontinued as fuck. It's thick and doesn't show sweat until it's reaching clinical levels due to the modal fabric on one side and the spandex on the other! It absorbs it and disperses it so it doesn't show on the outside.
I definitely did get hot in that costume, but way less than I expected. Honestly I got cold more often than not @_@
N e way it's just a bodysuit pattern I modified to add the split in the middle. It clasps at the bottom and I think I went overboard with the snaps cause for some reason I was convinced they would pop so easily. They didn't lmao.
The gloves on this costume are part of the sleeves, so I can't free my hands lest I want to take off the whole suit.
The buttons are 3d modelled by me, printed, sanded, and painted by hand because I was pissed that no one sold buttons that looked right and I refused to compromise 💪💪
Evidently as you can tell, the ruffles are also sewn into the collar and actually did not give me any issue with the stretch when putting on the suit!
