Another order completed! ⚡️🎮
We had the chance to print Pokéballs for Eevee and all of the Eeveelutions for this customer, and we are obsessed with how they turned out! Which evolution is your favorite? 👀✨

Just a reminder that along with the premade designs on our updated website ( https://the3dcrucible.com/ ), we also love bringing your custom ideas to life!
A client came to us with just a few photos, images of a statue in Mongolia honoring his grandfather, along with a personal photo. From those 2D references, we brought his vision to life, transforming them into a beautiful 3D statue. When he saw the final piece, he was overwhelmed with joy and couldn’t believe what we were able to create. It made for a truly meaningful birthday gift for his mother.

One of our favorite parts of 3D printing is bringing your ideas to life 🦎
This customer asked for a custom print of her bearded dragon, so we turned her real-life pet into a one-of-a-kind 3D model!
She chose to paint it herself (and did an amazing job), but we also offer painting if you’d like a ready-to-display piece.
Have an idea in mind? We take custom requests, send us a message!
