For this year's Christmas ornaments, I made gingerbread cookies of popular Crypids. Does anyone else think the Mothman one looks like @atnathanyaffe.bsky.social #justanotherwhiteguywithabeard #3dprinting #Christmas #Cryptid

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. bsky.app/starter-pack...

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.

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! than.gs/m/1313244 cults3d.com/:2914081 printables.com/model/1269581

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.

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.

Harper Crafthall @harpercrafthall.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

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.

@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.

"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... than.gs/m/1263600?af...

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.

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.

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 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. youtu.be/8P_buBQUJnY?...

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.

It feels good to get something out again. Not the full final Ghost Rider, but something of a pocket-sized study. than.gs/m/1231083 I also made a version where the sled is just kicking up snow that can be used interchangeably with my other Little Craftys Heads.

Long before I knew what a polygon or a UV map layout was, organizing Christmas cookies for the ideal cut of that first pristine roll-out of dough, is one of the most satisfying memories I can recall. The GingerBread ornaments from @LootStudios just had me reliving that #ChristmasTradition.

Just noticed an "All Plate Stats" panel in the Preview Tab of @BambuSlicer. Super useful for estimating filament usage across multi-plate prints. Only suggestion I would make is there should be checkboxes to include or exclude plates from the totals since 3MF Projects often have optional plates.

Over-organization isn't the problem. The problem is that "Now Me" doesn't trust that "Past Me" has already anticipated the creative blocks I'm struggling through. Went to make a board to project manage next month's models, and found a wonderful list full of model Ideas for "when I get stuck" #ADHD
