One of the things I love about 3D printing is how it can improve everyday items.

With the solar eclipse coming up on 12th August, I picked up some certified cardboard eclipse glasses. They’re perfectly good as they are, but I came across a clever 3D printable design that allows the certified eclipse lenses to be transferred into a much sturdier frame.

It’s a great example of how 3D printing isn’t just about making toys or decorations—it’s about creating practical solutions and giving everyday products a new lease of life.

Now all that’s left is to hope Scotland gives us a break from the clouds on eclipse day! 🌞🌑🤞

Remember: it’s the certified eclipse lenses that make them safe for viewing the Sun—the 3D printed frame is simply a stronger holder for those lenses.

🐿️🍔 Introducing the McNuts Squirrel House! 🍔🐿️

I finally finished one of my favourite projects yet – a McNuts-themed squirrel house! 😄

Designed with both fun and practicality in mind, it’s printed in PETG to help it stand up to the British weather. ☀️🌧️

✨ Features include:
🐿️ Multiple entry and exit holes.
🥜 An internal table to hold a tasty selection of nuts.
💧 Two recessed sections on the roof that can be filled with nuts or water, giving squirrels somewhere to grab a snack and a drink.
🔧 Two mounting options – it can be secured to a square fence post or screwed directly to a fence or tree using the top and bottom fixing points.

Now all that’s left is to wait for some furry customers to move in! 🐿️❤️

What do you think? Would you put one in your garden?

Decided the wheelie bins needed pimped up a bit 😅🛞 so added some rims.

A classic set of Nova GTE’s 🔥 and some spinners 🇺🇸✨

Buddy and the Gremlin are finally finished 🎨

A lot of sanding, filling, priming and painting has gone into these over the last while, but really happy with how they’ve both turned out in the end. Definitely learned a lot along the way trying different techniques and pushing myself more with the finishing side of things.

Honestly just excited for Christmas now so I can get these out in the garden as decorations 🎄

Now that I’ve actually finished them in plenty of time… I’m thinking Gizmo might need to join the Gremlin 👀

Loving this nicer weather ☀️

Buddy update – all sanding and filling done, last coat of primer on. One final pass with ultra-fine sandpaper and he’s ready for paint 🎨

Busy behind the scenes at Cre8Tiv3D at the moment…

Just finished up a new Mandalorian & Grogu coin bank design — a proper throwback to the old trick banks but with a working 3D printed mechanism. Mando stands watch while Grogu drops the coin into the barrel when the latch is pressed 🪙

With May the 4th coming up, it felt like the right time to get this one finished.

Still at it with Buddy as well — sanding, filling and priming. One more coat and he’ll be ready for paint.

All the while I’m still working through customer orders, which are honestly pushing me to improve and try new things. Every job seems to come with something new to figure out, and it’s definitely helping grow the skill set.

Appreciate all the support — plenty more to come.
