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

Download my 3D models from MakerWorld -- follow me on MakerWorld and social media to get updates on when models are available!

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 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
