Exclusive: MMMini Bearded Dragon!

***THIS FILE IS NO LONGER INCLUDED FREE WITH SUBSCRIPTION.
It can be purchased once re-released according to this Schedule.

Hey All!

This new exclusive is a bit of an experiment.  I had been kicking around the idea of creating a secondary line of cute, small, and easy print-in-place models to complement my bigger regular releases... so, I decided to give it a shot!  The first of these mini models is this MMMini Bearded Dragon (with keychain version)!!

I’ve seen a lot of feedback from merchants that loved the baby snake variants, and find that smaller “pocket” sized prints are very popular with their customers. Creating some more options to fit that niche seemed like a good thing to explore.  If they are well received, my thought is that I will periodically release these MMMini exclusives in place of the more typical variants that you’re used to.  So, let me know what you think!

Cheers!
Matt

Apparently typing CTRL + F5 reloads the current webpage bypassing the Local cache. Give that a try on the "Hub" post and let me know if it works! ...And just to clarify, the link in the Vault section of the Hub post is to purchase the file. Since it's a past exclusive, it is no longer a free download on patreon.

Sort of confusing on how to go about downloading this model.. I've checked out MMF and didn't see it there and we don't use Cults3D..

M
MatMire Makes · June 3, 2024

Unfortunately, MMF does not currently have a way to make non-public listings. Since these out-of-vault past exclusive files are only purchasable by subscribers, using Cults3D’s secret listings is the best way to do that. The cults link for this file is in the Vault section of the pinned “hub” information post.

Sorry, this one is no longer included free. It is vaulted until June, and then it will be available to purchase.

Mini pandas, foxes and cats maybe? Loving them all

J
Jules Berglund · February 8, 2024

I LOVE these! I adore the large animals, but the minis actually work better for what I need. I'm making a basketful(s) to donate to our local cancer treatment center to give to patients when they come in for radiation or chemo treatments. Something they can fidget with while they sit. And, hopefully give them a smile while they're there.

Craft3d · February 5, 2024

Loving these keychains! Would love to see a lot more besides the hognose and the beardie! Do you have a ball python and rattle snake version that I missed?

M
MatMire Makes · February 7, 2024

There is a Ball Python keychain in the Bonus files. There is an exclusive 'little rattlesnakes' set with a baby sized Rattler, but there isn't a keychain of it.

I'm going to need more of these mini designs. I use them as classroom rewards with my elementary students :)

Any chance we will get a mini leopard gecko soon??

Sarah Wood · January 29, 2024

So adorable. I’ve been using them for color swatches so I have a bunch in all colors.

Absolutely love this and would love to see more, especially the keychains!!

Nicki J · January 22, 2024

These are so cute! Please can you put MMMini Crested Gecko next on the list. :)

C
Christopher · January 19, 2024

They are adorable. I printed a keychain version off and I'm in love. I made it for my neice, but I might end up keeping it and making her another one.

C
Chesca Hause · January 19, 2024

Not only did these guys inspire me to join, they also inspired me to get a 3D printer for myself! I'd previously been using the kids ToyBox they got for Christmas, but I'm hooked and your creations tipped me over the edge! Long story short, more adorable mini critters plz! :D

J
Jacob Barnes · January 19, 2024

These were a huge hit! Thank you!

Reed Nelson · January 17, 2024

Carolyn Genovese · January 17, 2024

These are so cute, I’ve accidentally printed a whole army of them at 60%

J
Jocelyn Kessinger · January 16, 2024

These are so much fun to print and I'm guessing they are going to sell like crazy.

M
MagnuzX · January 15, 2024

so adorable! Now we need a Chameleon (adult and baby)

T
TheArtifactWorkshop · January 15, 2024

I sell so many tiny prints, and i can confirm this one scales very well! I did 50%, and will try for 40% next like the picture. There are several "tiny" file creators out there, and their designs are cute, sure- but i can't wait to get additional examples of MMM brand tiny with all the personality and detail we are used to. SO excited for this series!

J
Jordan Thurn · January 15, 2024

Love this idea. The baby snake keyrings seem to sell pretty well for me and I even do the old axolotl design (without articulating gills) and original beardie at 50% and they're quite a sell out. Can't wait to see how this mini one does!

S
Stuart · January 15, 2024

This mini is amazing! Hoping to get more like this!

S
Shannon Hill · January 14, 2024

For people that want these to be more "substantial" in terms of looking for something that is worth between 5-10 at a fair or market. 130% is the perfect size for this. It works well with other peoples' work. Honestly, we haven't been to a fayre in Jan yet due to having a break, and we've already pre-sold them. Matt, this is a fantastic idea for us (me), I really hope we can have 1 of these and 1 specialised creature a month as our subscription. We really struggle at fayres due to them not wanting to spend the "value" in person. These smaller options are perfect for the resolve of this. I look forward to our Feb fayre because I know for a fact that the feedback will be great from them so I will be every so grateful if this continues with the other creatures. anything with big eyes and face that screams "i'm adorable" will be perfect. On another note, the special needs customers that we have will love these due to their texture. If it was ever possible for you to create a specialised creature for this every few months, that would be ever so beneficial for my customers, even if it became an add-on cost. We would not mind paying as an extra purchase to have this. If it was something that had a sensory effect, it would be very much worth it.

Absolutely LOVE these minis!! The big models are fantastic, but minis are so great for quick prints! Please, make all the minis 😂💜

V
Vinny Ferraro · January 13, 2024

LOVE IT! Definitely want more of the mini stuff like this! I love your designs, but to be honest, some of them just take so long to print. Smaller stuff like this is greatly appreciated!

E
Emelie · January 13, 2024

Just scale the bigger one down. Most of the reptiles can be scaled down to 60% and with 60% they are also a quick print ;-)

F
Fresh Start Rescue Inc · January 13, 2024

These are just absolutely adorable. I need an entire line of mini reptile keychains!! Also I'm gonna need an iguana, tegu, skink and a whole list of other reptiles 😂

E
Emelie · January 12, 2024

This guy (both, the beardy an Matt^^) is amazing. I simply love him (both again^^). The first cusomers I have shown the new MMMini to are so excited. They all now are yelling for an axolotl!

C
Crissy · January 12, 2024

Wow! are you reading my mind? I was going to text you about miniatures. I get A LOT of requests for them. This little guy is cute as a bug's ear:-) thank you!

J
Jay Pierstorff · January 12, 2024

A feature request for the minis. Could you make a version with eye sockets for 6mm cabochon beads? These shiny black half-round beads could be easily glued in (much faster than painting for me). Smaller prints are an easy sell for me and they really add up. I will take as many mini's as you can make! Hoping for Gila monster and other southwest critters in the mini sizes.

M
MagnuzX · January 23, 2024

We need a version with socket for cabochon eyes for sure! Great idea

Omg just printed a 60% size and I cannot believe something that tiny can articulate so well. It stands and sits. It’s fits on my finger. It’s the cutest tiny thing ever.

Rebecca Schmidt · January 12, 2024

I love the idea of the minis. I print items for a school to give as prizes for a community service project and fundraising so try to keep costs and prices low.

C
Connie Kitler · January 11, 2024

I can’t wait to see your take on minis. Even the snake keychains have so much detail. However, I hope your other models are still the star of the show as not everyone can do what you do in that area. While minis could potentially have a higher profit margin when you consider time and that you can list them at affordable prices for everyone, there’s so many other minis in the market. Your designs stand out from the rest even if they take more time and cost more. They definitely set you apart and it’s the reason why this is the first patreon I joined.

M
Marvelle Alice · January 11, 2024

OMG THEY'RE ADORABLE 😍

S
SGarrett · January 11, 2024

Awesome! I've been tossing around the idea of subscribing to a designer who makes these.

S
SGarrett · January 12, 2024

Replying to myself so I don't start another topic. I printed these out at 100%, 80%, 60% and 40% on a Bambu A1, with Bambu gray PLA and stock settings. They came out great. The last joint of the tail was frozen on the 40% and I didn't want to snap it off but, the rest of it articulates perfectly.

C
Candi · January 11, 2024

I absolutely love this idea, I don't sell but I do print way too much for myself & my daughter for fun, so smaller things are always appreciated!

Shannon Hill · January 11, 2024

I was just saying how this year we (as a company) need to accommodate craft fayres a bit more. We were actually going to scale down the other cutesie animals and give them a cheaper multi material to cater for the "budget buyers" that we get at our fayres. They really don't want to be spending more than around £7 on an item, ideally no more than £4. This is perfect as I believe we can get this within that range easily. I very much think it's a great thing for us and I sincerely appreciate it. Also, happy new year, Matt, hope you had some sort of nice break.
