Thanks to the MakerWorld Year of the Horse design contest, I got the nudge I needed to publish it to share with people all over the world to enjoy.

This is a game commonly played during Lunar New Year, which will be the Year of the Horse -- so perfect!

This is probably the oldest "new" model I've published so far.
I designed and 3D printed this for my nieces to play with my parents OVER A YEAR AGO!
They've been enjoying it and even brought it with them on vacation to visit other family!

Looking back, I seem to have created a pattern, and I don't like it.

Number of YT videos published:
2023: 8
2024: 6
2025: 4

In 2026, I'm determined to break the pattern and beat last year's numbers.

I'm aiming for 18 new videos in 2026.
Watch me.

🐁I'm not a fan of mice, but when I was asked to make 3D printed mice to replace mouse tokens for a board game, I set out to design ones that were so cute that even I would find adorable.

It looked pretty good, but I ended up spending a few more hours making adjustments.

It's my favorite one so far 😍

It's the one for Day 7 (not the tree in the preview)

Thanks for sharing your makes and comments -- it's been fun hearing about how these cute little ducks are bringing a little bit of joy to the world πŸ’•

πŸŽ‰Woohoo! I'm halfway done with my 12 Days of Christmas series!

I'm aiming to complete these models and "music videos" by Christmas Eve so that everyone can print them for Christmas gifts (or for the *actual* 12 days of Christmas (12/25 - 1/5))
