New Updates at SANIX3D - Studio, Automations and More ๐
Hello, dear members! ๐
Today is a special day for me, and you are the first who deserve to hear it.
Sanix3D Studio is live, and it is yours.
It is a 3D configurator that runs right in your browser: you design your own custom model, watch it rebuild in real time, and export files ready for your printer. No installation, no complicated setup.
It started with your feedback ๐ฌ
Back in June, we had a great discussion here about FDM printers and what you would like to see from me. I want to sincerely thank everyone who joined that conversation. I read every comment, and one thing became clear: adding one or two standard FDM files next to your rewards was not the answer.
To be clear, your monthly rewards are and will remain the 2 premium designs I create for you every month, nothing changes there. The Studio is something extra: a supplement, my thank-you for your support. Instead of giving everyone the same file, now each of you can create your own individual custom design. And the models you create are not limited to FDM at all, they print beautifully on any printer, resin included.
Why I built it this way ๐ ๏ธ
I know there are already many excellent tools out there, and today's slicers offer impressive features. My goal was different: automation and simplicity. I did not want you to spend an evening jumping between tools and doing manual steps just to reach a good result. You pick, you type, you adjust, and the Studio does the heavy lifting. Your time matters, and your time is expensive!
Honestly, the Studio is a pilot project and it is still young. Right now it opens with its first configurator: the soccer one, where you design your own custom jerseys, with your colors, your text and your style. It is just the start, and the Studio will keep advancing.
The Studio may be young, but the engine underneath it is not. I worked on it for a long time, and everything I have learned in my years of 3D printing went into how it prepares your models. On top of this engine, I will be releasing more dedicated tools and configurators, each focused on speed and ease of use, more diverse with every release. Everything big starts from something small.
How you get access โ
The Studio is included for every active member, on any plan, at no extra cost.
Go to sanix3d.com/studio, enter your member email, and you receive a secure sign-in link.
No password needed.
If you are not a member yet, you can see everything the membership includes at sanix3d.com/sanix3d-patreon.
One thing worth knowing: the Studio has its own sign-in confirmation, separate from the store. In the store, your session lasts 10 to 14 days, and it cannot be longer on purpose: we take real care of personal data, not only our members' but every customer's. The Studio works differently: one confirmation keeps your access for 6 months on the same device, and it stays valid for as long as your membership is active.
Good to know: your membership runs on full autopilot โ๏ธ
A quick reminder about how the membership works behind the scenes, because I know some of you have asked:
( for new members )
Your SANIX3D.COM account is created automatically when you join, using the email connected to your Patreon account. Your rewards are waiting there minutes after subscribing.
The VIP bonus is tracked automatically too. Stay an active member for 12 uninterrupted months and VIP status unlocks by itself, you will be notified by email the moment you qualify. As a VIP, every model in the store is free for as long as your membership stays active. Nothing to claim, nothing to request, the system counts your months for you.
Show me what you make ๐ธ
This is the part I am most excited about. When you print something you designed in the Studio, send me quality photos of the result.
The best prints will be promoted directly on SANIX3D.COM ๐, with your creation shown to the whole community.
And just like in June, your opinion and your feedback shape what comes next.
That discussion is the reason the Studio exists. So tell me what works, what is missing, and what tool you would love to see built on this engine. I am open for feedback anytime, message me here on Patreon or simply comment below.
And one more thing: the website got a fresh new look ๐งญ
I also listened to the less comfortable feedback, and I am glad you were honest with me: signing in was not always smooth, and the site itself felt a bit confusing to navigate. You were right. So while building the Studio, I rebuilt the site around it too, and I truly hope everything is now simpler and more intuitive.
There is a brand new header: everything you need sits in one place, Membership, Studio and a new Models menu that opens all the categories in a single click, no more digging around. The footer is new too, and the whole site feels cleaner and faster.
And my favorite detail: when you are signed in, the site now greets you by name, right in the header. Have a look next time you visit, it is waiting for you.

Happy designing, and happy printing!
