3D Print Your Own Block Figures
Design and 3D print your own custom figurines! With arms, legs and a head that move, these figures are fun to design and to play with or display. You can make a basic block man or add a lot of detail. You can make your figure look like a favorite character from a book, movie or video game. You can make your figure look like a person from history, a person from your family or even a pet.
The block figures are made up of 5 small pieces (the legs, the body, the arms, the head and the hair), which can all be printed separately and then connected by printed pegs.
