A little love, layer by layer. 💚

Making a Pokémon-inspired collectible for my own shelf, celebrating my fiancé’s love of Pokémon—and enjoying watching it take shape along the way.

Not every print goes according to plan! 🖨️😅

Our latest commission hit a snag, and it's back to the slicer to figure out what needs adjusting.

Can you spot the moment it went wrong?

This is the side of custom 3D printing you don't always see — the challenges, troubleshooting and do-overs behind the finished products.

Onwards to the next attempt! 💪

The final highlights, the last coat, and one very proud maker. 🐎✨

Our little horse commission is finished, and I can finally share him in all his bronze-and-gold glory! 😍

This is the part of the process I love most: seeing all those individual stages come together. From the 3D print to the sanding, preparation and layers of hand-painted colour, every step helped bring out his character.

Warm antique bronze, gold highlights and touches of teal patina settle into the mane, saddle and all those tiny details. I wanted that aged-metal feel, with enough contrast for the decoration to stand out without losing the warmth of the finish. 🎨🩵

I’ve spent so much time with this little guy that packing him up felt a bit like saying goodbye! 😂 He’s now carefully wrapped, with his courier booked for his journey to his new home.

Thank you for following along with what we’re making at Nova Forge. Being trusted to turn someone’s idea into a piece they can hold is something I’ll always appreciate. 🤍

Have a closer look—what catches your eye first: the flowing mane, the detailed saddle or that bronze-and-teal combination?

💀🌿 October gets a little stranger at Nova Forge…

And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

If your taste leans a little unusual, mysterious or wonderfully weird — welcome to the Forge. 🖤🔥

Custom commissions are open.

🌿 Where nature meets imagination.

The Spirit Planter is one of those pieces that turns an ordinary corner into something a little magical. Intricate bark, twisting vines, a peaceful face and layers of natural texture make her beautiful even before a plant is added.

3D printed and carefully finished by Nova Forge Design Studios — because functional décor doesn’t have to be ordinary.

Would you believe this horse started as a light brown plastic print? 🐎✨

This special commission is coming to life at Nova Forge Design Studios.

After 3D printing in light brown PLA, I applied a flat black plastic primer. Now I’m building up the finish by hand using Cadence hybrid acrylics—layering gold and bronze, adding shadows into the crevices, and gradually bringing out those beautiful details with highlights. 🖌️

The painting is around 65% complete, and I’m already a little in love! Next comes another layer of highlights, followed by weathering and ageing to create a teal/turquoise patina over the metallic finish.

Every stage takes patience, drying time and plenty of love. 🤍

Which detail catches your eye first—the ornate saddle, flowing mane or metallic finish?

Follow Nova Forge Design Studios to see the patina develop and watch the final reveal.

⚡ DAY THREE WITHOUT POWER—ONCE AGAIN ⚡

We unfortunately need to advise our clients that Nova Forge is once again on its third consecutive day without electricity.

This brings us to six full days without power in the past two weeks alone—and that does not include the additional outages when the municipality switches off different blocks as its own form of load reduction.

As a small, home-based manufacturing business, we depend entirely on electricity to operate our 3D printers, tools and finishing equipment. Every hour without power stops production, disrupts carefully planned schedules and makes it extremely difficult to provide reliable completion dates.

To every client waiting for an order: we are deeply sorry for the continued delays. Your work has not been forgotten or neglected. The moment electricity is restored and stable enough for us to operate our equipment safely, we will resume production and work as quickly as possible to catch up.

But this post is about more than our business.

We want to give a heartfelt shout-out to every family, elderly person, parent, employee and small-business owner who continues to struggle through these relentless outages.

Behind every dark house is a real person trying to cope—families losing food, parents struggling to prepare meals, vulnerable people sitting without basic necessities, employees unable to work and businesses losing valuable production time and income.

To everyone charging phones wherever they can, making alternative plans, keeping businesses alive and trying to remain hopeful despite the uncertainty: we see you. We understand your frustration, exhaustion and worry. You are not struggling alone.

A special thank-you to the neighbours, friends and local businesses helping one another through it all. Community kindness cannot repair failing infrastructure, but it reminds us that even during the darkest days, we still have one another.

The truth is that trying to operate a business under these conditions is becoming increasingly unsustainable. Parys may be beautiful, but we honestly cannot recommend that anyone move here to start a business while the electricity supply remains this unreliable.

To our clients, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued patience, kindness and understanding. Your support means more to us than we can adequately express.

We are frustrated. We are exhausted. But we are still here—and we will keep doing everything within our power, even when we have none.

Sending strength to everyone affected. May our electricity, stability and peace of mind return soon. ❤️

⚠️ POWER OUTAGE UPDATE — FURTHER DELAYS ⚠️

We have now been without electricity for more than 48 hours. The fault is only being attended to today, and we have been informed that underground electrical cables have failed. Trenches first need to be dug before replacement cables can be laid and our electricity supply restored.

Unfortunately, this means that Nova Forge Design Studios is experiencing further production delays. Our Bambu Lab printer and other equipment cannot operate without a stable power supply, but we will resume work as quickly and safely as possible once electricity is restored.

This outage affects not only our small home-based studio, but also our household of five and several other homes and families in our area. Parys continues to experience serious electricity problems, including cable theft, damaged infrastructure and severe power surges. We sincerely hope this repair will finally help prevent the surges that have already cost us a significant amount in damaged electrical equipment and household appliances.

A very special thank-you to our wonderful clients at Scoobie Doobie Lounge for helping us charge our devices so that we can continue communicating and keeping our clients informed. Your support during this incredibly difficult situation means more than you know. 🖤

We sincerely apologise to everyone whose order has been delayed. Thank you for your patience, kindness and understanding while we navigate circumstances completely beyond our control.
