This is probably the oldest "new" model I've published so far.


I designed and 3D printed this for my nieces to play with my parents OVER A YEAR AGO!


They've been enjoying it and even brought it with them on vacation to visit other family!

Thanks to the MakerWorld Year of the Horse design contest, I got the nudge I needed to publish it to share with people all over the world to enjoy.

This is a game commonly played during Lunar New Year, which will be the Year of the Horse -- so perfect!

To everyone who celebrates Lunar New Year, have a happy year of the horse! Gong Hei Fat Choy!

Looking back, I seem to have created a pattern, and I don't like it.

Number of YT videos published:
2023: 8
2024: 6
2025: 4

In 2026, I'm determined to break the pattern and beat last year's numbers.

I'm aiming for 18 new videos in 2026.
Watch me.

Really, watch me:

🐁I'm not a fan of mice, but when I was asked to make 3D printed mice to replace mouse tokens for a board game, I set out to design ones that were so cute that even I would find adorable.

✨New duck just dropped!
I'm so happy with how these came out and it was so fun to get a bunch of them posed together -- looks like a cute little village of ducks!


Print them to share with friends and family -- spread some joy this winter season with these cute little snowducks! ☃️

Hope you all enjoy these!

My first time uploading a parametric file to MakerWorld, thanks to the inspiration from 3DPN & MakeGood, and for ‪@mojee3d‬ for sharing the steps on how to create this design in Fusion on his Twitch channel.

Now anyone can customize a TPU strap/ribbon to print, even without having CAD software!
