Happy Thanksgiving

From the Sopala clan here in San Antonio TX...we are grateful for your support, and thankful for this creative community.

Phoenix Stands!

As soon as I finished the Phoenix, I wanted to create a stand, but I couldn't decide on a crystal stand or Fire...So I made both. 😁

Hope you like 'em

Sign for Local fairs/shows!!!

Flexi Phoenix (Early Release) DONE!

After several successful test prints of the Beta, turns out I had nothing to worry about.

The attached file is the exact same file with "_beta" removed

Thanks again

Flexi Phoenix (BETA)

I'm keeping this in Beta for now because there are a few little adjustments I still want to make. Plus I made about 30 little changes since this last test print. 🤦‍♀️ But I think it's good. (fingers crossed)

Keep in mind you need good adhesion for the feathers.

Thanks again, ...

Supply list for the curious

Finally put a list together of the tools and supplies that keep my business up and running! Lots of requests for filaments I use in marketing photos, plus painting supplies and more. Not an affiliate of any of these companies, but since we don't have any local stores here in San Antonio that sell...

Poll Time!

Thanks to everyone that voted for last month's Flexi Hermit crabs... So much fun making those! 

Remember these are only available to Patrons for one month and NEVER released to the public. So ...

Yeti (sneak Peek)

WINTER IS COMING!...so I made a Yeti.

I have been wanting to create a human like Flexi that has flexible legs and can easily stand on it's own for a long time, and I finally figured it out. YAY!

Just making some finishing touches, and will have it to you in the next couple days.

Flexi Brachiosaurus Early Release

Hi everyone. Decided to get this out on a weekend (for a change :) About to start painting the beauty in the main image! 

It doesn't balance on two legs with that long neck and heavy head...but I think it's a pretty adorable addition to the Dino Collection. 

I hope you enjoy...

Brachiosaurus (Sneak peek)

Hey There,

Just wrapping this one up. I am shooting for Monday the 3rd as the Patron early release.  Just before the 3 Dino rock-stands.

Hope you like it,

Update of an old file (Hand)

Finally working now on MMF (new files are labeled "updated")

Hey There,

For everyone who has previously downloaded my original Hand, I just want to let you know that I updated it with bigger joints.

It looks and moves the same as it used to, but now just a bit s...

Flexi Skeleton Hand Early Release (Done)

Hey There,

The Flexi Skeleton hand is done.

I zipped them this time for organizational reasons.
for zips I find it best to right click and "extract all" first. (instead of just opening the zips)

Thanks Again, and Happy Printing
-Dan

Skull Keychain (Bonus)

I've been getting a lot of requests for this, and with Halloween Right around the corner, I felt it was the perfect time to get it out.

Thanks again, and Happy printing

Halloween is fun. Let's get these skeletons out of the way so we can move on to Christmas. Don't worry...I have some cool models that aren't holiday themed ahead too 😁

Big things Happening! (Anycubic Alien)

Last month I was approached by Anycubic to create a new Flexi for their Brand, and I thought, "who am I to say no to Anycubic?"

So the dialog started.  Keep in mind, dealing with a Chinese company usually takes a day between emails.

In my research of the company I read an excerpt...

Flexi Robot Eye Bonus (Not Wheatley from portal 😂)

Hey There,

When I was first working on the helmet for the Astronaut, my wife told me that she thought it looked like an eye.  Why Not?

I didn't even think once about Portal. (One of my favorite games EVER!) until I was wrapping it up.

So you might notice there is a large ve...

Flexi T-Rex (Early Release)

A couple patrons suggested I keep it up and make a series of Dinosaurs.

Here is a link to filament I used.
If you buy this filament, keep in mind that it is pret...

Coming soon!

EARLY RELEASE Monday for Patrons!!!

I saw all my test prints and thought I'd have a little fun. The first ones are super creepy...my wife kept calling them tadpoles :) And they definitely couldn't stand at first.
