Outside of tattooing, I like to mess around with other art forms, especially 3D printing and digital model making. I use programs like Blender and Nomad to experiment, making everything from useful designs to silly models. Exploring these digital and physical processes keeps things fun and helps inform how I approach creativity in all my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that interest I started a 3D printing account on Cults3D under the name TorchJoy<\/strong>, where I design and sell downloadable files for other makers to print at home. You can check out my work and prints over at https:\/\/cults3d.com\/en\/users\/TorchJoy\/3d-models<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This was my very first model. I treat 3D modeling as a hobby, so my goal was to keep things enjoyable. I began with a simpler design to get a feel for how models translate to real prints, paying close attention to supports and what prints best on a standard PLA setup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

From there, I began exploring how common household items could be incorporated into 3D-printed designs. That curiosity turned into a cockroach launcher powered by a rubber band. It was both ridiculous and satisfying, and a great way to see how much abuse a print can actually take.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
