I just posted up another release of 3d printable starship miniatures up to Cults3D : cults3d.com/en/users/tyr...

Every month, I post most of my ships from my previous month's Patreon up to Cults for those that might want to purchase ships ala carte versus on a continuing/supporting basis.

For everyone interested in my bubbler backpack - I am working on publishing the files for 3d printing and list of things you need for assembly. Probably post it on Cults3d when ready.

Cheers, most of it is designs I have made for 3D printing.

You can get the files from Cults3D or MyMiniFactory:

cults3d.com/en/users/Doc...
www.myminifactory.com/users/Doctor...

It's all designed to be easy to print on pretty much any FDM printer without any supports.

Fourth space #chorf! Plasma gunner this time. All of it #3dprinting from free STLs (check ALT). Had some issues with right arm, managed to salvage it somewhat. Also went for non-glow plasma, for some reason.

A Chaos Squat model, painted in very dark grey (background), orange and teal, front view.
Made up from remeshing the following free STL files:
* Body + arms from Toftylicious' modular armoured space dwarfs (Cults3D).
* Gun from Toftylicious' set (Cults3D), remixed by myself to include skulls, spikes and a bayonet-like blade.
* Head from thefella217's "Moe marine helmets" (Cults3D).
* Backpack from Moonkanin's "Evil Crusader Backpack" (Cults3D).
* Right shoulderpad from Totobronco's "Skull shoulder pads" (Cults3D), remixed by myself to include some spikes.
* Left shoulderpad from LordChammon's "Civil War mark six shoulder protections" (Cults3D).

Had to remix and tinker a bit with all the pieces (scale included) to achieve the desired result, since this evil stunty boy is meant to fit alongside my other "oldscale" Chaos Space Marine models.

I recently discovered these little guys on cults3d and i have to say these sculpts are delightful and retro. I was even more suprised when i found out that they even have their own rules. Super cool rules and incredibly fun descriptors. #SCRUNGALOIDS will probably be my new hyperfixation.

Today's being spent editing the assembly tutorial for my #3Dprinted Thomas locomotive. This will accompany the 3D files when they are released on my #Cults3D page. Once this is done it's just the manual and then hopefully release! #Videoediting

Screenshot of a project in the Olive Video Editor. In the top right corner is a still frame from the Assembly Tutorial currently being edited. The still frame shows a half built chassis for my Thomas model on a wooden table.

If I'm going to make a little calibration print, it should be practical and cute! I used this to check alignment between nozzles on my Prusa XL.

Happy New Year. Finished at 11:59 p.m., my last custom of 2025 and first of 2026.

Not thrilled with the official redeco, so I built my own using three upgrade sets with parts from Mav and PHG79 on Cults3d. New head, neck, arms, hands, and spikes, etc.

I've been on a 40k 2nd ed bindge lately, so I made terrain and cards (not my own designs, thank doctor spork on cults3d and Myminifacrory for the bunker). Still need some sustained fire dice and cacti though. #Oldhammer #nerdlings

"So, GW has been going after 3d printing nerds who steal their IP. It's not like they'll stay mad."

Me: *Opens Cults3d. NEW TRENDING MODEL! Mark Lam, chair of GW's board, to be used as an objective marker. Comes with decapitated and disemboweled variants!*

Just been looking at Cults3d etc. Can't believe GW gave me a load of shit for using warhammer as a search tag on Etsy when there are people making serious money selling stls of eg Great Unclean ones that are even better than the GW plastic one, or even straight up scans of GW kits, using all the ™️s
