About Luis

Designed in Nebraska, printed to order

I am Luis, and I design and print everything on this site myself from my home in Nebraska. I learned CAD in school and have continued to use it on work projects, though it has never been my profession. Over time, people began asking me to make items for them, and the requests grew into this shop. Depending on the project, I work in TinkerCAD, Rhinoceros 3D, Blender, or AutoCAD. I began with resin printing, but found the additional effort was not justified, so I moved to FDM printing and have remained with it since. I also enjoy playing games, and I take real satisfaction in designing accessories for the ones I play.

How it started

This project began because people kept asking for my work. I was making pieces for myself and my gaming group, and the demand from others grew steadily until opening a shop became the logical next step.

Every item is printed on my own Bambu Lab X2D. I give careful thought to how a piece will be used, not only how it looks in a photograph. A deck box, for example, should be slim enough to carry comfortably while remaining sturdy enough to protect your cards.

Behind the design

What you get

◆

Print-ready files included

Every digital download includes a 3MF with my own print settings, so it is ready to print as soon as you open it. Some designs also include STL and SVG files, and each product page clearly lists what is in the download.

◇

Test printed before it's listed

I print every design myself before it is listed for sale, so what you see is what comes off the plate.

△

Built to actually use

I design around how an item will actually be used, not only how it looks in a render: slim and portable, yet sturdy enough to trust.
