3D printing ideas board is a simple new way to help us

We just launched a 3d printing ideas board on our website, built for one reason: to give our community a direct line into what we design next.

Anyone can post a model idea, a request, a wish, or a suggestion straight onto the board. You don’t need to overthink it. If there’s a model you’ve been hoping we’d make, a feature you’d love added to something we already sell, a variation of an existing design, or just something you think would be fun to print, that’s exactly what the board is for.

Why we built a 3d printing ideas board

For a while, ideas for new models came from scattered places: a comment here, a message there, a line in a review. Nothing was lost exactly, but nothing was gathered either. A 3d printing ideas board fixes that by giving every suggestion one home, visible to us and to anyone else browsing the board.

It also changes how we plan. Instead of guessing what the community wants, Leon and the team can sit down, scroll through what’s been pinned, and treat it as a genuine source of material for upcoming projects. Some submissions will be small tweaks to things we already sell. Others might be entirely new objects nobody on the team had thought of yet. Both kinds are useful, and both kinds belong on the board.

We’ve seen studios run community suggestion threads before, usually buried inside a Discord or a comments section where good ideas get pushed down within a day. A dedicated board avoids that problem simply by existing as its own page, not as a side conversation under something else.

How posting works

You can log in with your Patreon account if you want your idea tied to your name, or you can post anonymously if you’d rather stay out of it. Either way works, and either way your idea gets pinned where we can see it. There’s no gatekeeping on who gets to suggest something, and no requirement to already be deep into our catalogue to have a good idea worth sharing.

We’ll be checking the board regularly rather than opening it once and forgetting it exists. That matters, because the value of a 3d printing ideas board drops fast if submissions just pile up unread. Treating it as a living part of our workflow is the only way it earns its place alongside everything else we use for planning.

If you’ve posted somewhere before and never heard back, this is meant to be different. The board gives us a reason to look on a schedule, not just when we happen to remember.

What happens to the ideas

We want to be honest about limits. We can’t promise that every idea posted will turn into a finished model. We’re a small studio, and not everything fits our style, our printing process, or what we can realistically take on in a given stretch of the year. Some ideas will need more time before they’re a fit, others might never be.

But every submission gets read and considered by us, which is a step up from a silent wishlist sitting in a comments section nobody revisits. That’s the real promise behind a 3d printing ideas board: not that everything gets made, but that nothing gets ignored.

If you’ve got something you’ve always wanted us to create, whether it’s a brand-new object, a twist on an existing model, or a feature request for something already in our shop, this is the place to put it. We’re genuinely curious what people come up with once the board starts filling up, and we expect some of it to surprise us.

Come find the Ideas Board linked from our website, post your idea, and follow us on Instagram, Patreon and Thangs to see where those ideas end up.
