Hey guys! Figured I’d share this since Gaahleri Day 2026 is going on right now and I know a lot of people here are into airbrushing, model painting, and 3D printed figures.

I've been using everything Gaahleri has been making, including the Aventus and Mobius airbrushes and Kaleido ColorWorks paints, and I’ve been really happy with them for hobby painting and my 3D printed models.

If you’ve never ordered directly from Gaahleri before, my referral gives you 20% off your first order.

Just to be completely transparent: this is my referral link, so I do get a kickback/store credit if you purchase through it.

Gaahleri Day is running through September 15th, and they also have a bunch of other sales, new product launches, flash deals, and Kaleido paint promotions going on right now.

Figured I’d share it in case anyone was already looking at picking up an airbrush or trying out the Kaleido paints and wanted to save a little money.

We’ve had this laptop stand in our office for a while and after being dropped one too many times it finally snapped lol (DROPPED TWICE). I tried finding the original file online but couldn’t find it anywhere.

While I was out on a call, one of my friends at work just decided to remake the whole thing from scratch 😂 a Perks of working in a department where we can design and 3D print stuff haha.

We printed ours in ASA since that’s pretty much all we print with at work, but I’d recommend PETG at minimum. Fits laptops up to 20mm (¾") thick.

He gave me permission to throw the file up on MakerWorld too, so figured I’d share it in case anyone else needs one! Fits a Max thickness of 20mm (3/4 inch)

Still new to the hobby, but I’m glad I was finally able to finish my first model this year 😮‍💨🔥

Took me a couple weeks (just an hour here and there whenever I could find the time) but Omni-Man is finally done! I definitely still need to work on my sanding and getting better orientations on my prints so parts fit better , but tbh, I mostly just wanted to prove to myself that I could actually finish something 😂 Pretty satisfied with how he turned out

I’ve seen a ton of videos of people playing 40K and binged way too much of the lore haha, but I’ve never really had a chance to get into the actual game side of it. I don’t have anywhere within like two hours of my house where I can go play with other people, so I figured this little mini game might be a nice way to finally get started.

I know it’s not the full 40K experience, but it’s cool finally feeling like I’m getting into the community a little bit. Hopefully I’ll enjoy it, convince my fiancée to play with me haha, and eventually start building a real army. 😮‍💨

I designed La Lotería tokens for El Barril and El Cantarito

I recently designed two La Lotería tokens based on El Barril and El Cantarito and uploaded them to MakerWorld.

I’d really appreciate any downloads, boosts, prints, or feedback!

I’m also open to making more La Lotería tokens, so let me know which cards you’d like to see next.

My first functional print I designed from scratch for work

This is a super simple key/tag print I made for an organization project at work for LOTO. It’s small but it works, so I guess it counts as functional for this sub haha.

Each tag prints in about 12 minutes, and I know it’s nothing crazy, but it’s the first model I actually designed from scratch for my job, so I’m kinda proud of it.

I’ve been using one printed in PETG for about 6 months now and it’s still holding up good.

Hey guys, I’m trying to find the old bald head STL that used to come with the Gefest Forge Father from Broken People model before it was updated with the bearded head.

I already bought the model, but I was hoping to use the older bald head version if possible. I reached out to the creator, but I figured I’d ask here too in case anyone knows if it’s still available somewhere or if there’s any way to get it.

Not asking for anyone to share paid files, just trying to find where I can get it properly.

Any help would be appreciated!

Finally uploaded something again after taking a break from Maker World for a few months. It’s a quick little orc texture trainer inspired by the Monument Hobbies style practice pieces.

I printed it raw first, then hit it with a black primer and white zenithal highlight to test the details. It’s not a big complicated print, just something fun and useful for practicing skin, armor, cloth, dry brushing, washes, and weathering.

Been slowly saving up for a new printer using money from my hobby, mostly miniatures, painting commissions, which I 3d print for. I had about $600 saved up, but some unexpected stuff happened at home and I had to use my emergency money plus what I had saved. I figured I’d just start over and maybe get one in a year or two.

Then my little brother, who’s 22 so not so little anymore haha, surprised me with one for my birthday. He said he saw me going through a rough patch and wanted to make my birthday start off right.

Man, don’t know what I did to deserve my brother, but I thank God for him. 🙏🏼

Here’s a picture of the newest commission I sent out the door 🔥

Someone requested Malum Caedo, so I did my best to kitbash the model until we came up with this final version.

Printed on my Anycubic Photon M7 Max, then sanded and primed using black and white matte Kaleido paint.
