FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where can I buy your 3D prints?

I don't directly sell any physical 3D prints of my designs. 

I do sell models and offer memberships for people who want access to my 3D models and commercial licenses to sell them.

If you know someone who sells 3D prints...

Please let them know you're interested in my designs and direct them to become a member via Thangs. 

I'd love to have them on here as an authorized seller so anyone who's interested in buying 3D prints of my designs can find ways to buy them!

Where can I download the digital files of your 3D models?

My 3D models are available on Thangs, Cults3D and Printables -- follow me on those sites to get updates on when models are available! 

FREE MODELS

Lately, I've been releasing my designs for free for a few days on Thangs before moving them to my paid plans. Follow me on Thangs.com to get notified when those are released and download them while they're free -- don't forget to leave a like!


PAID MODELS

Some of my 3D models are available to be purchased individually on Cults3D, in my store on Printables.com, and/or on Thangs.com. If you're looking to buy one of my models that I've published elsewhere and don't see it on Cults3D, let me know!

PAID PLANS

I have monthly membership plans available for my supporters. See membership plan(s) for specific benefits.

Can I sell your 3D models?

You may NOT sell my digital files.

How do you store and organize your filament?

I use IKEA cabinets to store a lot of my filament.

I mostly use PLA, so I keep it separate from the rest for easy access and to avoid using the wrong spools of filament. I like keeping the nice silk PLA on the top shelf with regular PLA underneath. PETG and special filament like glow-in-the dark, water-soluble, wood, marble, TPU and ABS are stored separately when space allows.

Within each type of filament, I arrange them by rainbow order ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
