Happy approaching-Valentine's Day!
Funny thing, I'm usually terrible about modelling things for specific events like that, and the timing on this one, I have to admit, is purely luck - the whole Valentine's Day thing wasn't something that oc...

Stackable boxes are just the best. These vase mode boxes are an exploration of texture and layers in vase mode, and are made to stack in somewhat industrially-inspired columns.
Most models have some key f...

Nope, it's not a multimaterial print, it's an assembly! This bowl features voids for separately-printed coloured panels, and the whole thing is kept securely together by a ring that screws down over the top....

It's a rocket! It's also a container, but you don't really *have* to put anything inside it. Other than astronauts, obviously. The lid attaches firmly via a screw thread, so it won't go falling ...

Texture is a wonderful thing! These little boxes are as much for tactile fidgeting as they are for storing small things. The sides carry rows of grooves and the cap closure is knurled for extra grippableness.
The two halves also ...
