Custom 1-off

From a sketch of his pets,
to a finished piece.

A customer sent a rough sketch and photos of his pets. We modelled them in 3D, got his approval for the design, and printed the finished piece — complete with a secret compartment.

01 / What the customer provided

The brief

That was the whole brief — a rough sketch and a few photos of his pets. No CAD, no measurements. Everything else was up to us, and that's exactly how we like it.

Reference photo the customer provided

Second reference photo the customer provided

02 / How we did it

The process

01

Modelled it

We turned the sketch and reference photos into a 3D model of the pets.

02

Got design approval

The design was shared with the customer for approval before a single print was started.

03

Printed it

Printed in PLA on our FDM machines once the design was locked in.

04

Hidden compartment

Added a secret compartment — a little hidden surprise built into the piece.

The hidden touch

A secret compartment

Part of the charm of a custom build is what you can't see. The finished piece has a hidden compartment tucked into the base — a place for the customer to keep something small (and safe) of their own.

The result

The customer's pets, frozen in plastic — modelled, approved, printed, and finished. A one-of-one piece nobody else has.
