Printed some biomimetic light switch covers (LSO Series)

Just finished printing the first batch of my new LSO (LightSwitchOne) light switch covers. All single-gang, no supports, standard toggle fit.

Textures so far:

  • Leaf
  • Root / Vine
  • Stone
  • Redwood (wood grain)

Printed in plain white PLA for now — planning to experiment with painting and different filaments next. They feel surprisingly nice on the wall.

What do you think? Any favorites or suggestions for future designs?

I built a procedural generator for organic 3D printed vases

Over the last few weeks, I have been developing a procedural generator for organic 3D printed vases.

The goal was not simply to create a few individual models, but to build a system capable of producing many variations while keeping each design visually consistent, printable, and structurally stable.

The generator currently includes three design families:

Dream

A softer and more expressive design based on organic asymmetry and flowing silhouettes.

Canyon

A tall, narrow vase with two offset body masses and a strongly curved S-shaped neck. A large part of the development focused on keeping the neck expressive while making every directional transition smooth and avoiding visible bands or abrupt changes.

Surco

The most experimental design. Its central cross-section is generated from a closed XY polyline containing deep folds, returns, and shapes that appear to wrap around one another. This section is then smoothly propagated upward toward the mouth and downward toward the base.

Surco required a major rewrite because a conventional radial vase representation could not preserve these overlapping-looking folds. The new system works directly with the complete polyline instead of reducing the shape to a single radius for each angle.

The generator automatically creates:

  • A printable STL
  • The final G-code
  • A rendered preview
  • Technical metadata and validation results
  • Reproducible variations using seeds

I would love to hear which design you find most interesting and what you would change or explore next.

Peak Glimmer Desk Lamp

Hello

My new model, which I've been working on for a long time, is finally finished. Peak Glimmer isn't just a desk lamp; I designed it to be a decorative light sculpture that brings the splendor of nature directly into your workspace.

When off, it behaves like a modern sculpture, but when illuminated, it transforms into a breathtaking atmosphere. It's one of the most beautiful and enjoyable models I've ever made. :)

Finally figured out the "knitted" texture in Fusion and made this.

I’ve never been into printing Pokémon or shelf figures, but the countless knitted models online always caught my eye. Decided to sit down in Fusion and design a functional phone stand using that texture.

Now that I figured out the texture, what functional print should I try to "knit" next?
