Hi all! I’m a Toronto area children’s book author and illustrator. My illustrations have appeared in books by Judy Blume and Michael Ian Black, among others. I’ve been exploring sculpting/modelling in VR since getting an Oculus Quest 2 as a gift a couple of years ago, am having fun learning Adobe Substance 3D Modeler (beta version). A friend with a 3D printer offered to print a couple of my pieces and OMG, I am blown away.

I’m considering getting a 3D printer myself, but first want to do a lot more research, plus investigate (as an alternative) 3D printing services that ship within Canada. Our house is fairly small, so instead of getting a printer, I’m thinking it might be better for me to just send my files to a 3D printing service and have them ship the model back to me. So I’m also researching that as well, especially costs involved.

I have sooooo much to learn, and am hoping to get inspired by and learn from you all. You can see the two 3D-printed models that my friend did for me here:
