STL MODELLING BRIEF — 3 CHARACTER PEN HOLDERS I need three separate STL pen-holder designs based on the reference images provided. I have detailed 2d designs of the models ready to share. All three characters should use the same core/base body shape and proportions. The only major differences between the three models should be the character-specific features attached to the body: 1. Dragon — dragon wings 2. Dinosaur — dinosaur fins/spikes along the back 3. Dinosaur/Dragon — raised dinosaur-style spine/fins The overall style should remain cute, rounded and simple, matching the supplied reference images. CORE BODY — IMPORTANT The three models should share the same basic body geometry. The body needs to function as a pen holder, with an internal open cylindrical cavity running vertically down through the model from the opening at the top of the head. * Opening diameter: exactly 16 mm * The cylinder must be open at the top * The internal cylinder should run vertically through the head/body to create the pen-holding cavity. * The 16 mm diameter must be maintained throughout the usable internal cavity. * The opening should have a clean, smooth circular rim. * Do not accidentally close the bottom of the cylinder if the intention is for it to be a through/open cavity. The outside of the body should remain rounded and organic — do not make the body simply look like a cylinder. The internal cylinder should be hidden within the character’s body. DESIGN AS SEPARATE STL PARTS To make manufacturing and printing easier, the model should be designed as multiple separate STL components that can be glued together. The main body should be one STL. The character-specific features should be separate STL files/components: Dragon * Main body * Left wing * Right wing * Any additional separate decorative features required Dinosaur * Main body * Individual back/spine fins or a single spine assembly * Any additional separate decorative features required Third design * Main body * Character-specific fins/spine/features as separate pieces NO PEGS / CONNECTORS REQUIRED Do NOT add locating pegs, pins, slots or complicated mechanical connectors. The parts will be glued together permanently, so I want the simplest possible attachment system. The attachment surfaces should therefore be: * Flat or appropriately curved to match the body * Easy to glue * Large enough to provide a strong bond * Designed so the separate pieces sit naturally against the body This should make the STL considerably simpler and easier to print. PRINTABILITY Please keep the designs suitable for FDM 3D printing. Avoid unnecessarily thin features that are likely to break during printing. The character should retain the cute, chunky appearance of the reference images rather than having delicate, fragile details. Where possible, use rounded edges and smooth transitions. CONSISTENCY The most important requirement is that the three characters look like part of the same product range. They should have: * Identical/similar base body proportions * Identical 16 mm pen opening * Similar overall height and width * Consistent facial style * Consistent rounded aesthetic * Different character features to distinguish each design The final result should essentially look like one pen-holder design with three different character variants. Deliverables: Separate STL files for each body and each detachable character feature, ready to assemble with glue. Final design just not be resold or reproduced in any way.

Hello, Your three cute character-based pen holders can be modeled as a consistent product line, with the same rounded core body and a clean 16 mm vertical pen cavity running through each design. I’ll keep the body organic rather than cylindrical, and create the dragon, dinosaur, and third variant as separate glue-ready STL parts with simple, flat/curved attachment surfaces and FDM-friendly thickness. I’ll use your 2D references to build each body and character feature carefully, ensuring the facial style, proportions, and overall aesthetic stay consistent across all three models. No pegs or connectors—just practical, printable parts that assemble cleanly.

Hey there, I read your project details, so I understand you need an existing STL rebuilt from the ground up so it prints accurately, maintains critical dimensions, fits mating parts without post-processing, and has stronger, cleaner geometry for everyday use. Could you please share all your requirements in detail, such as the current STL, critical dimensions, mating-part references, target FDM tolerances, material, and any photos or measurements from your failed prints, etc.? So I can help create a dimensionally accurate, watertight and manifold 3D model based on your preferences, with strengthened structure, refined surfaces, clean mating features, and error-free geometry ready for Cura or PrusaSlicer, along with the native source file and recommended print orientation/settings where needed.

Hi, I can create the three separate STL pen-holder designs based on your 2D references while keeping all three variants consistent as one product range. I will build the same rounded core body for all three models, with an accurate 16 mm vertical internal pen cavity and a clean circular opening at the top. The dragon wings and dinosaur/spine features will be modeled as separate STL components with simple, strong glue-friendly attachment surfaces, without unnecessary pegs or connectors. I’ll keep the models cute, chunky, smooth, and suitable for FDM printing, avoiding fragile details while maintaining the character of your references. I will also ensure the proportions, facial style, overall dimensions, and 16 mm opening remain consistent across all three variants. You will receive separate STL files for each main body and detachable character-specific parts, ready for assembly with glue.
