Update on plans
The last few days have been pretty wild.
These cooler koozies turned into my first “viral” model, and I’m starting to see them pop up all over the place. I’m guessing a lot of you are seeing the same thing, which is honestly awesome.
I’ve also been getting some really good feedback from yall—especially around exclusive models. I hear you.
A lot of you are here on the $5 tier to sell prints, and when everything is available publicly, it can get crowded fast. That makes total sense. I’m still figuring this whole thing out as I go, but I agree with the direction and I’m going to start making some changes to best support you as sellers.
Going forward, I’m planning to introduce Patreon-exclusive models and variations. Some of the first ones will likely be:
Additional cooler koozie sizes (16 oz, energy drink cans, etc.)
A keychain version of the koozie
Some new concept variations, including a pencil-themed koozie (I think this one could be great for teacher gifts and you may have seen where someone did this with the cooler version - really cool idea but I can lean into this and make it more pencil; shaped :))
I’ll also be continuing to release public models—especially anything that uses team logos. Since I don’t own those, I plan to keep those available publicly rather than tying them to Patreon.
Beyond that, I’ve got a lot of ideas in the pipeline and I’m always open to suggestions. If there’s something you want to see, let me know—I’ll do my best to make it happen.
Really appreciate all the support and feedback lately. This has been a lot of fun to build.
Also, quick note on messages—I've been getting a lot lately and I’m doing my best to keep up with everything: comments, DMs, requests, ideas, all of it. I think most of you know this already, but it’s just me over here balancing this with a full-time job and family life. I genuinely appreciate every message and try to respond to as many as I can, but if I miss something, don’t hesitate to follow up. You can also reach out to me on Facebook—that’s usually the easiest place for me to have a quick back-and-forth, especially when we need to share photos or details.
Thanks again to all of you, its fantastic to be able to do all of this and supporting you all is my main goal here.

Hello, you have the Steelers on Makerworld with Logo. Is it on the $5 tier and I missed it? Would love to have that and SF Niners, Cowboys if possible. Have a great day and thank you for the files, especially the volleyball one. My boss is about to love it for Mother's Day.
yoooo!! you are sooo viral and popular! its all over tiktok and other crafter/ makers post about you. I posted about you in my tiktok and told my followers to head your way 5.00 to join and get hands of a file.. thank youuuuuu!! keep bringing us more prints!!!! we love it!!!!
I listed these on my Store Front of facebook (with attrition and am now permanently suspended lol) Guess I'll be going another route for my business online now lol...I love these things, my nephew was my first customer for one after subscribing lol
Can you by any chance do 1 for a 600ml water bottle (Australian)
Love this !! You are my first subscription, as I am brand new. Is there any way you can make this a multi piece file? So for instance the bottom, the mid part, the top, then the handles, and the lid of course. But it would make it so people could swap colors, make their own at a stand. And it would allow for different colors too. I WOULD LOVE IT if they were screw in and then also you can print them separate for less waste!
I found this in the net. Change from Koozie -> Coozie I like to pass this on to you. Love ur ideas and great work. " Both "koozie" and "coozie" are widely used, but "Koozie" is a registered trademark of the Koozie Group, often used for the official brand, while coozie" is commonly used as a generic phonetic spelling for the foam or neoprene beverage insulators. Both terms correctly describe the same item used to keep drinks cold and hands warm. lmprint.Com +3 Koozie (with a K): This is a branded trademarked term. often associatec with higher-quality or specific manufacturers. Coozie (with a C): This is generally considered the generic term for the product, frequently used by competitors and in marketinc materials to avoid trademark " Hope it help
I’m looking for the NY Mets version
I like the idea of having one that a custom (round?) piece can be added. I sell at critter events and to have a round with a specific breed on it would be fun! maybe using the keychain maker in MW?
Thank you for your prints, they are all so super cool. I am a complete newbie but I'm glad I stumbled across your post before the craze hit. You've made it so easy to just print and go. But congratulations on your success. I took a koozie to work just for my drink and I can't tell you how many wants I got. Right now I'm just learning and having fun printing out things for me, myself and I. I just want to print everything. I totally get the full time job then coming home and working in your office until you can't see anymore LOL!! But congratulations and I can't wait to see what you release next. You got yourself a follower for life!!
New here loved the can holders and all your work thanks for sharing
I am new to Patreon and 3d printing. I subscribed because I loved your can cooler design. Looking forward to seeing all the things
anyway you can make a lid look like a baseball and white red white on the cooler ?
A Leicester Tigers coozie
Can you do the Pencil Colors without looking like a shape of a Pencil. please. j
Hi, I joined to get your "stanley" skinny can holder without the bottom marking but i am not seeing it?
How about a can opener keychain??
Do you have a file yet that fits the 375ml cans we have in Australia ? Or plan to make one
where do we get the pencil?
Haven't printed anything of yours yet but did subscribe. I would keep everything on partreon only for at least a couple months like others do before releasing to makerworld if at all
Yeah, I sure hope people are paying you because I’m seeing them for sale everywhere
any chance you will offer seperate piece printing so we can print the logo seperately and glue them on to cut down on print time and waste?
These are so fun and cute.. I don't think I'll be selling these, gifting to daycare kids. However, I am joining to support you. When you come up for air, can you make one we can customize with it embedded into it. I used permanent Vinly, but not sure how that will hold up in the wash. Thank you for sharing this with us! Great work
Great work!!! Looking forward to new designs for us paying members. Great idea for the teacher theme. I will print these for my kids teachers when released. Can you teach us or maybe have it setup so we could add the teachers name on it?
Did you make a pencil one yet? I'd love to get a jump on it for the end of the school year!
Well deserved! The Iowa Hawkeye helmet was on of my first prints, and I have loved everything you have designed since. Thank you for your work.
Same here!!! 🖤💛
I have not printed any of the Koozies yet but will probably start some of them this week…your files are always clean and print well….I like to support you as the creator that’s why I joined your patreon

Thanks for all your hard work, these have been a huge hit and our customers love them! Any chance you could possibly do an F1 series?!?!?!? All the best and thanks again!
I just subscribed and can’t wait to start printing the koozies. And a keychain version would be amazing so can’t wait for that either. Thank you for the awesome work. So worth the subscription.
