Are you a 3D Character Artist looking to delve into the world of 3D printing? We would love to work with you! We will be modeling replacement faces for physical Stop Motion puppets, that will be printed to-scale (millimeters) using a 3D PLA filament printer. These will be attached to the puppet rig using 1.5mm x 3mm Earth Magnets.
