Today I’m sharing my top 3D Models from 2025! What did you think this post would be about?

And some models from 2023, ‘24, and ‘26 as well, since I have neglected Thingiverse for some time.

I got into this hobby in 2013, and I 3D print A LOT. I’ve had more than enough time for it to become a part of my lifestyle and first avenue to fix things around the house. If you look at any room in my house closely, you’ll find many prints to organize and fix things.

All of the prints in this post are things I’ve designed versus found somewhere on the internet. I think it’s a pretty cool collection. Looking back, I am surprised how often I can fix or improve something with 3 bucks of plastic instead of buying a replacement.

Here’s my most patriotic print yet! I have been using our new (hand-me-down) stroller a lot lately, for obvious reasons, and I decided there were a few things I just couldn’t go without.

So, I made a one-print solution that requires zero support and attaches to the handle of any stroller with hose clamps, which are shown here covered by separate printed strap covers to protect the leather of the stroller handle. I’ve deemed it the Strollerhock:

Here’s a peek at my first major board game creation!

I’ve made a few clones or slight enhancements of games I like before like Nope and Hocken-Pocket-Blokus, but Bloom or Bust is my first attempt at something of my own design with very high production quality.

This is a risk-taking game where players compete to take over a tree with their specific type of fruit. Trees and bees are becoming a recurring theme in my games!

All parts of this game are hand-designed by me, mostly in VR with a tool called Gravity Sketch, blender, and one of my favorite programmer’s 3D tools called OpenSCAD.

This was a board game I “cloned” back in 2015, but newly redesigned in 2024 with resized pieces and a self-contained custom game box and instructions printed right into the box.

I love small games that travel well, and this game is about the same depth and nearly 1/4th the area of the original box - thus “pocket”. It’s a snug fit but nicely sectioned out for all pieces. Have fun!

Hocken-Pocket-Blokus Print Instructions

If you have a multi-filament printer, check out the new 3mf for “Hocken Pocket Blokus” - a self contained full blokus game and box with a hinged lid, and game instructions printed into the box.

If you like retro video games and also drinking things, you’re in luck! Print them for your living room! Print them for your friends! I hope these characters remind you of some of your favorite series.

I returned to this project after 10 years to make more coasters, including some designs for multi-plastic printers and a reinforced 4-coaster holder!

It was super fun returning to this project! I was able to fix a few things that I had noticed failing over the years, like the new reinforced sides to the “? Block” holder. Now that multi-color prints are proliferating more widely, I’m hoping people can use the new colored files - they really pop with the Silk+Matte PLA combo I used here. Links to those filaments:
