My passion for 3D printing began when my husband gave me a Creality K1 3D printer as a New Year 2024 gift, which was an absolute surprise for me. I had to figure everything out from scratch. For the first month, I printed models I liked that were created by others. Then, I wanted to learn how to make my own models, and it turned out to be not difficult at all. This way, my need for creativity was fulfilled. My first major functional model was a Nintendo cartridge stand.

This model quickly gained popularity, which came as a surprise to me but boosted my confidence and motivated me to continue modeling. My main rule of modeling is print convenience — I always try to design print-in-place models with minimal post-processing. This year, I had a lot of free time, and I managed to create almost 200 models. Most of them are free, while the rest are available at a minimal price to reward my efforts.

I enjoyed participating in design contests hosted by Creality Cloud, so most of my models are inspired by their themes. I print all my models. Some are beautifully displayed on shelves, some are toys for my daughter, some are useful items (like all my organizers), some are stored in boxes, and some are given to family and friends. What I love most about 3D modeling is the creativity and bringing ideas to life. Recently, I started working full-time as a programmer, so I now have less time for my new hobby.

Creality has truly become a part of my life. Even though I currently have very little free time for 3D modeling, every moment I spend on it brings me genuine joy. These days, I mostly create new models when I need something practical at home or when I want to make small crafts for my daughter’s kindergarten.

No matter how busy life gets, 3D printing remains a source of inspiration and creativity for me. It’s a hobby that always gives back - whether through solving everyday problems, making something special for my family, or simply enjoying the process of creating something from nothing.
