Big Changes to the Loyalty Model Program

A New Chapter for Playco3D Loyalty Supporters

I am writing to announce a major update to how I reward my most dedicated supporters. Moving forward, I am retiring the 4-month Loyalty Model/Point system and replacing it with something much more exciting and spontaneous: The Loyalty Drop Program.

Why the change?

I want to make sure my most dedicated supporters are getting even more value out of their membership. By moving away from manual point-tracking, I can shift my focus toward creating and releasing more frequent loyalty models for everyone who is currently active. This change allows me to spend less time on spreadsheets and more time producing the high-quality character you’re here for!

The Loyalty Launch Gift — A Reward for Every Active Member

To celebrate our growth and ensure everyone is rewarded for their previous support, I am officially closing out the old system with a special Loyalty Launch Gift.

The Gift: Choose Your Model! Instead of counting points or asking you to "top off" your existing points balance, I am giving every currently active, renewing member one (1) FREE model of their choice from the shop!

• What can you pick? Any Premium Pass model or any previous Loyalty Model currently in the store.

• How to claim it: I have already sent a Direct Message to all active, non-canceled members. Check your Patreon inbox for a private link to a Google Form where you can submit your choice.

• The Process: Once you submit the form, I will verify your active membership from the time I sent this post and DM or email you the download link for your chosen model over the next few weeks.

Deadline & The End of Loyalty Points:

• Redemption Window: You have until March 31st to submit your choice and redeem your free model.

• Points Retirement & Shop Update: Starting now, the old loyalty program is officially retired. All existing loyalty points will be removed, and the option to purchase points in the shop will no longer be available.

  If you currently have more than 4 points saved, you can still redeem your remaining points for any Loyalty or Premium model. Your total will be rounded up. For example, if you have 7 points, they will be rounded up to 8, allowing you to claim one additional model beyond the standard free offer.

  In addition, all models currently in the Loyalty Model collection will soon move to the Premium Model shop at $15 each. This is the perfect opportunity to grab one for free before they transition to full price.

Note: This Loyalty Launch Gift is specifically for members in an Active/Renewing state. If your membership is currently "Canceled" (meaning you still have access but won't be charged again), you will not receive the DM or the free model.

Introducing the "Loyalty Drop" Program

Now that we are moving to a simpler system, I am excited to introduce a much more rewarding way to stay connected: The Loyalty Drop.

How it Works:

• Unannounced Surprises: At least once in a 4 month window and sometimes more!, I will release a new Loyalty Model as a total surprise.

• Instant Delivery: These models will drop unannounced and be sent directly via DM to all Active, Renewing members.

• No More Tracking: You no longer need to count months or buy extra points. As long as you are a sub on the day of the "Drop," you get the model.

• (Updated 5/17/26) Shop Value: Each Loyalty Drop model will hit the shop in approximately 2-3 days after it launches. New members who sign up after the drop will not receive it for free—it is a reward specifically for those who were already active.

The Fun Part: How to Catch Every Drop

Because these Loyalty Drops are unannounced surprises, you never know when a new model will land in your inbox! To make sure you’re always on the list to receive these gifts for free, just keep your membership in an active, renewing status.

It’s my way of saying thank you to those who are on this journey with me month-to-month. If you happen to be in a "Canceled" state when a drop occurs, don’t worry—you can still grab the model in the shop using your 20% member discount!

Thank You for the Support

This change is all about making Playco3D even more rewarding for you. My goal is to bring more models to my supporters more often, and this new system allows me to do exactly that. By shifting my full energy into the workshop, I can focus entirely on designing the high-quality, unique characters you love, ensuring that the library continues to grow with even more frequent releases.

I’m incredibly grateful for your continued support as we grow. Your dedication is what allows me to push the boundaries of what we can create, and I can’t wait to show you what’s currently on my 3D modeling workbench. Thanks again, and happy printing!
