#3D printed bjd

[the-bjd-community-confess]

I’m so envious of people with 3d printers in this hobby. You’re telling me you can just print yourself a new doll?? Whenever you want?? I’d be unstoppable 820 dolls in my room

Printed the Dollightful / Moonlit Jewel Dolls Bunny BJD at 150% yesterday! Learned a little more about not breaking supports off and sanding them off instead (one trimming) to avoid getting little pits in the resin. The ABS-like resin I used also scuffs horribly, so I'm definitely going to need to look into other options. Also, I need to make little posts for the hands so that they can attach.

My Peachdaydreams David kit arrived last week!! I have, uh, promptly lost one of his shoulder pieces (RIP ME) but HE'S SO PRETTY... Have this belated box opening of sorts. And bonus comparison to boyfriend and daughter...!

tumblr pls leave this post alone challenge

anyway i finished my first attempt at a body blush on my 3d printed doll i also re-did the faceup bc i wanted to shade it more and use some techniques i hadnt used on my original attempt, as well as more details (like the ear veins :3 )

zephyr update: i re-printed her head (first one was too small...) and printed a leg last night! right now i'm waiting on one of her arms to print atm and while i was waiting i did a faceup and some very quick/subtle body blushing and freckles

lastly i just need to print her other leg tonight and the last arm tomorrow and then she's done!!!!! (with printing at least...) i also have my elastic coming in tomorrow :^)

I had a lot of pain with the painting process so I kinda dropped the ball and never posted about my new boy.

Despite all, I'm much more happy with the face up then with what I did for Ivar and I tried making my own eyes this time cause I couldn't find a set exactly like what I wanted.

TWP: OOAK

For those who don't know what an OOAK means: It stands for One of a Kind, and applies to customized dolls. After having purchased a 3d printed BJD from Etsy (further review down below), I customized it to look just like Gwenneth the pink goblin.

As for the base doll- it's a Kobalin from the French Etsy store- Nekotaku. As a regular Nekotaku customer, I can give a fair review of the overall product quality: Pros -She's such a generous sweetheart, from buttons to even an extra tiny BJD, I always get gifts when I order from her. -She has a pretty wide range of animal and fantasy creature BJDs that are quite suitable for OC purposes. I remember at least one other review mentioning they use a doll of hers for OC purposes. -That person also mentioned she'd let them customize certain bits so she does that too if you ask -She can hold quite a decent sale. Cons -Her store constantly refreshes from stock and available to order dolls. If you have seen a design of hers you like, buy it fast or you might need to wait a year or two before she has it for sale again. I am looking at a certain octopus doll right now. -Her printing quality isn't that high. If you want great printing quality but like fantasy dolls I'd recommend you to check out Quirky Critters instead. She's my other go-to shop for 3d printed BJDs.

More BJD

I haven't finished my previous BJD project but I've started another one >w<

This will be a Redwall-inspired stylized mouse) One day) Maybe) For now this needs a lot of editing. Knees and hips don't work the way I intended them to.

And he's painted! I got a little impatient and strung him anyway >> not sure how well the sueding will hold up but overall he looks great! Magnet for his tail will be here tomorrow and I have a friend I've commissioned for his robes.

I'll have a Lambert to go with him, too, but I'm still waiting on the modded Sheepy head.

i LOVE how accessible 3D printing has made the hobby. ultimately I think it's such a huge W for the hobby and allows so many unique artists to come in, and it allows more affordability, and allows people to dip their toes more into the hobby to get a hang of it without dropping a ton on a doll they may not end up liking. I DO wish artists didn't immediately jump into monetizing. it's ok to just make your art without making it your job, especially when you're starting out! Make a lot, print a lot, experiment a lot, fail a lot. the first thing, or the first 50 things, don't have to be the doll you sell! you don't ever have to sell even!

My Frappzilla bat arrived yesterday but I don't know which face I want them to have! I had somewhat planned to do something galaxy themed so the star would be cute but the other faces are also cute!

Also.... How well does 3d printed resin dye? 😬😅 Guess we're gonna find out!

Rat doll! Rat doll! Rat doll!

I printed this last night, it's one of Aelith Art's Runway Rodent dolls (a doll that I suggested the name for ☺️).

This doll is his take on Trashion Alley, I also printed an additional faceplate that I modded.

Excited to get them cleaned up and strung. I'll be listing prints of these on my Ko-Fi soon (with the one-part foot). The second photo is from Aelith's product listing for the files.

I printed and will be selling the version compatible with G3 MH clothes (not shoes though because of proportions).

PROGRESS ON ZEPHYRS TORSO.... AHHHHHH......!!!!! ;___; im so happy

the range of movement isn't perfect but good enough to where i dont feel like reprinting it. i also did some hot glue suedeing on the inside of the chest piece and it fits all nicely together. its very snug but you're able to pose her a bit!

her head is printing rn and will be done in a few hours and then tonight ill get started on one of her arms (too beefy to do both at once...)

a bit sad i didn't have enough print space to give her more boob but its ok lol. zephyr usually is portrayed as non op / not on E so
