Fabrizio has over 35 years of experience in 3D modeling. His experience as a professional, outside of the hobby, assists us with providing the best technology possible, accurate curing times to ensure durability, and a model free from common defects.
As a professional reiner, Fabrizio has a deep connection to the equine world. Fabrizio's genuine love for horses makes him an exceptional person to create our models.
We only use traditional size 3D printed horses as prototypes within our own production process. Mini size prints are available in limited quantities.
Our mini prints are solid, with no need for interior curing. Smaller models have far less layers that traditional scale models are made with. Fewer layers have less chance of material distortion and warping. There is better dimensional accuracy for intricate details on a smaller model due to the smaller deposition of material with each layer. A more durable model can be made in a smaller scale since the lighter weight, and smaller scale, makes them have less need for wire support in the legs.
MARTINA'S BRAID
Martina was no ordinary pony; she was a vision of fluff and warmth. Her thick coat, and her wide, chocolate-brown eyes seemed to hold the wisdom of a thousand fields. Martina lived on the little family farm tucked at the edge of a sunlit meadow, where the laughter of a girl named Sarah often rang out like the sweetest melody.
Sarah and Martina had been inseparable since the day they met. At first, Martina had been shy, her fluffy ears flicking nervously as she adjusted to the cheerful little girl with boundless energy. But Sarah had a way about her—a gentle touch, a soothing voice. Soon, Martina followed her everywhere, her soft muzzle nuzzling Sarah’s hand for a treat or an extra pat.
One sunny afternoon, Sarah decided that Martina needed to feel extra special. She gathered her brightest ribbons and sat with her little stool beside the pony. “Hold still, Martina,” Sarah giggled as she separated a section of Martina’s mane. Her tiny fingers worked with surprising skill, weaving a loose braid that trailed down one side of Martina’s neck. She tied it with a dainty pink ribbon, stepping back to admire her work.
“There,” Sarah announced proudly. “Now everyone will know you’re the prettiest pony in the world.”
Martina swished her tail, as if to say she agreed wholeheartedly. She felt the braid swing gently against her neck with each step she took, a symbol of Sarah’s love and care.
From that day on, Martina wore her braid proudly. Sarah redid it every few days, sometimes adding tiny flowers she’d picked from the meadow. The braid became a tradition, a sign of their unbreakable bond.
Martina wasn’t just a pony; she was Sarah’s confidante, her guardian, and her best friend wrapped in a blanket of fluffy warmth. Together, they were a team—one braid, one bond, and a love that would last forever.
