Patreon Exclusive: Gargoyle Gecko! +Bonus Magnets
***THIS FILE IS NO LONGER INCLUDED FREE WITH SUBSCRIPTION.It can be purchased once re-released according to this Schedule.Hi all!This month's Exclusive design is the Gargoyle Gecko! Both the Gargoyle Gecko and the Crested Gecko come from the same islands of New Caledonia. They are closely related, but also have unique features all their own. Instead of crests running down their heads and spine, they have bumpy ridges on their skulls that resemble horns... hence their "Gargoyle" name. Also, the Patreon Bonus Gargoyle Gecko Magnets ar...
Out of the Vault: Santa Beardies!
Happy Chirstmas in... May! The Santa Beardies are now out of The Vault for those who weren't around when this exclusive first came out. Christmas will be here before we know it... might as well get a head start!! ;) About the Vault: I didn't like the idea of my Exclusive models coming out and never being available to new Patrons, so that's where The Vault comes in. It gives first release benefits to current Patrons, yet new Patrons don't have to miss out completely. In order to keep it fair to those first run Patrons, returning ...
Patreon Bonus: Tardigrade Magnets (new options)!!
Hey All!!I just added the bonus Tardigrade Magnet to the downloads post. You'll notice that there are two versions of the magnet files. One is the same as all the others, where you glue in the magnet on the back once printed. The other "Captive" version is fully enclosed, and doesn't require any glue (a great suggestion from one of my Patrons!). Simply drop them in as the model is printing.* They work great and offer more versatility in how you want to make them.*While it may be possible to safely drop the magnets in without pau...

Tardigrades are microscopic animals that have uncanny and unmatched survival abilities. They can adapt their bodies to weather the dangers o...
...April Sneak Peek
Hey Everybody!Here's a small tease for this month's main release. This fella is a little different than my other animal designs, so I hope you enjoy exploring another realm of the animal kingdom with me. The good news is, it'll only be a tiny wait. I'm just tidying up a few itty-bitty details, so I'm expecting to release it tomorrow! Cheers! ;)Matt
Patreon Bonus: Jakalope Magnet!
Hey All!!I just added the bonus Jackalope Magnets to the downloads post. This one is a little different than the other magnets. In order to avoid the need for supports, it does not print on it's back like the others. As a result, It has two flat spots with cutouts for the magnets. Yay for options! Enjoy!Cheers!MattPictured Models printed in...Deer antlered...CookieCad Sunrise***ProtoPasta Scarlet SymphonyPronghorn antlered...Amolen Thermal Color Change*****Download from the Pinned "Current Download Links" post***All magnets use 10mm...

Choose between Deer antlers and Pronghorn antlers!Hi all!The moment I finished the Bunny Rabbit design, I knew a Jackalope variant was in our future, haha. This mythical critter sports a set of antlers, an alternate smile, and longer muzzle to give it a bit more of that jack rabbit profile. I hope you enjoy it! To those who may not know what a Jackalope is, this silly mythi...

It's been a little while since I've made a new lizard! The Crestie is possibly my most requested design, so I'm really excited to finally be able to release one.This design comes with two separate snap-fit tail options. In reality, Crested Geckos drop their tails quite easily, and unlike many other lizards... theirs don't grow back. As a result, there are many many cres...

Patreon Exclusive: Little Rattlesnakes Set!!
***THIS FILE IS NO LONGER INCLUDED FREE WITH SUBSCRIPTION.It can be purchased once re-released according to this Schedule.Hey Y'all! This month I thought I'd make a pair of fun sized Young and Baby Rattlesnakes to keep the Little Pythons company. If you are looking for faster printing snakes that use less filament to make, these are fun alternatives to the full sized rattlesnake. The rattle and jaw still work on these more compact versions, so they still have that bit of extra fidget factor. I hope you like them!Includes multiple layout...

Rattlesnake now has a Snap-Fit Rattle!
By popular demand! I have added a snap-fit option for the rattle, so it can be easily printed in a different filament and attached later! I did my very best to find a well balanced fit for this, but due to the widely varying tolerances that can occur with different printers and filament, some people may need to use additional aids to secure the joint. If it is loose you may need to add some super-glue to the joint to firm it up. If it is tight you may need a pliers to help gently push the joints together. Another option is to try and scale the ...
