The Shop

What I make

Everything comes off my printer in one piece. The joints are already connected, so they move as soon as you pick them up.

Pick a color

Your print, your color

I can print any of these in any color I've got. Tap one to see it.

The classic. Glows under the expo lights.

Behind the scenes

How a print gets made

It's not one button. Here's what actually happens.

Pick the model

I pick a model and check the joints are spaced far enough apart to move.

Slice it

Software cuts it into hundreds of thin layers and plans where the nozzle goes.

Print it

The nozzle heats to 210°C and lays down melted plastic, one layer at a time.

Finish it

I take it off the plate, clean off the stringy bits and free up every joint.

The maker

About MJR 3D Prints

I started with one printer and a lot of prints that didn't work. Getting the joints to move took a lot of tries.

Now I print everything myself and check each one before I sell it.

"If it doesn't work, change one setting and try again."

Good questions

Frequently asked

How do the joints move if it's printed in one piece?

There are tiny gaps built into every joint. The printer never fills them in, so the pieces come off the plate already separate. No assembly, no glue.

What is it made out of? Is it safe?

PLA, a hard plastic made from corn starch. Fine to play with, but it's not food-safe and can't go in the dishwasher.

How long does one take to print?

An hour or two for the small ones. The bearded dragon is the biggest and can run overnight.

Can you print something I design or find?

Yes. Show me the model or describe it and I'll tell you the price. Bigger ones cost more because they use more filament and more printer time.

What if it breaks?

Tell me. If it broke because of how it printed, I'll print you a new one. Glue works on PLA for small fixes.

Do you take custom colors?

If I have the color, yes, no extra charge. If I don't, I can order it, but that takes a few days and costs a bit more.
