3D Printed β€˜Tiny Things’ characters

The Tiny Things Collection, was born from the idea of trying to create the smallest possible piece of 3D printed design that still had high levels of detail, and could be printed with a 0.2mm nozzle on the Bambulab A1 3D printer.

The design brief was to create a set of characters no bigger than a 103mm cube. We took inspiration from 80’s pop culture, as well as fun animals designs, that could be printed by anyone with a 3D printer.

The result is a collection of characters designed by Pixelpunk, printed by Pixelpunk, and a new set of skills in 3D printing that will put Pixelpunk Design Studios on the map pf local businesses wanting to utilise 3D printing in their sales and marketing processes.

Designing in 2D for 3D printing

Creating the β€˜Tiny Things’ 3D models required adapting known ways of working in Adobe Illustrator to create 2D images, and integrating these with new workflows in Autodesk Fusion to create a printable 3D model.Once the 3D model has been created, the file is imported into the 3D print software for colouring and slicing.

At this point we get print timings and can adjust the slice and print setting to achieve a high quality print aligned to the 3D model design.

This new workflow and design understanding has led to numerous other 3D printing projects for local business wanting to incorporate 3D printed materials in their sales and marketing.

The β€˜TIny Things’ 3D Print Collection is inspired by 80’s pop culture and a cute design aesthetic. The idea behind the collection is to create and share 3D model files with the 3D printing community, that can be taken and printed by anyone wiith a 3D printer. We wanted to make a high-quality, and highly-detailed set of models that would utilise a 0.2mm nozzle, to create intricate and dynamic pieces that could be collected.
