Smart, easy-to-print 3D designs for everyday use

I design puzzles of the Moon and Mars, tiny desk buddies, and useful things for the home and the car.

The Moon, one piece at a time

Two finished Moon surface puzzles in black frames, one white and one grey.

Close-up of printed craters, with the layer lines and the seams between pieces showing.

A jigsaw of the real lunar surface. The pieces print in one colour, so there is no picture to go by: you solve it by shape, and by the craters under your fingers.

Pieces: 91, plus a frame
Print: 2 plates, one colour each, no supports
Fit: Tight off the plate, looser once taken apart
Made with: OrbitStudio

03The big builds

Where most of the work goes

Multi-part models that take two plates or more and fit together without glue.

The solar system model in parts: the orange Sun wall, the engraved rail, the big planets as two halves each, and Saturn's ring.

Solar System, True Scale

Every planet on one rail, divided by the same number, so nothing was nudged to look nicer on a shelf: Earth comes out at 10 mm, Jupiter at 112 mm. The Sun is the part that did not fit. At this scale it would be over a metre across, so you print a sliver of its edge instead, and that almost-straight orange wall is it.

Scale: 1 : 1,275,600,000. Sizes to scale, distances not.
Parts: 34 printed pieces
Assembled: 643 × 194 × 132 mm
Print: 10 plates, 9 colours, one per plate, no supports
