When we first created the original Hornet for our April release, we based her design on the official Hollow Knight illustration. In that artwork, Hornet’s head is slightly slimmer compared to how she appears in Silksong.
As we started working on other characters like Lace, Sherma, and Shakra, we used an in-game standing model of Hornet to define their proportions and scales. To keep everything consistent, we needed to ...
This month Crippled God Foundry is celebrating its 9th Anniversary.
Crippled God Foundry are creators of highly detailed tabletop miniatures, terrain pieces and props, as 3D printable files and physical miniatures, for RPG, tabletop games and wargames.
Rafael was a sculptor for Crippled God Foundry for several years and we are very happy to make this collaboration.
You will have access to the Corrupted Nymph miniature for FREE.
We received several requests for our version on Hornet and Knight in 32mm scale, and you know us, we couldn’t resist.
After reworking a few parts, adjusting the thickness, and ensuring perfect printability, they’re finally here as Extra Models, available for download until October 31.
The Nimble Princess carries the duty of protecting her kingdom, keeping order, and ensuring that everything follows its rightful path. Agile, d...
For us, this moment captures the very essence of Ranni, the giant moon, the mist, and the spells all coming together in the scene that represents the end of the journey. We did our best to preserve every detail and stay true to the game. Ranni was a doll, and we wanted to bring her to life as such. We’re really happy with how this model turned out.
We also made a simpler base version, featuring only the terrain, in case that’s your preference.
We couldn’t start this message without saying a huge, heartfelt welcome! So many new people joined this month, and honestly, we never imagined reaching so many in such a short time.
When we started Patreon, we had one clear idea in mind: these would be models made by fans for fans, miniatures and figures we ourselves would love to have in our collection. That’s why each of these characters carries our very best.
Creating these models inspired by Soulslike characters, with our own artistic vision, has been an amazing journey. ...
Wow, this month is a masterpiece and a truly unique opportunity! 15 STLs + a Promo Model by Bulkamancer!

And from Elden Ring Nightreing, you can print Revenant with either a lyre or a greatswo...
Conceived to be a protagonist but ending up as an optional boss, Priscilla now takes the place she deserves on your shelf thanks to Bulkamancer Sculpts!
I believe I don’t need to introduce Bulkamancer to you, the work they’ve been doing over the past few years is both inspiring and very important to the 3D printing community. We’re truly grateful for the opportunity to collaborate!
As I always say: I hope you’ve stocked up on resin, because I don’t think your printer will be taking a break this month.
We launched our Patreon in February, and not even in our best dreams did we imagine we’d already have so many people supporting our work. Some members have been with us since the very first month, and that truly means a lot.
Our very first loyalty model is Malenia, Blade of Miquella. In the second month, we introduced her as a miniature, and since then Rafael has been reworking her into a full figure. We made adjustments to the pose, the cuts, and of course, added magnets.
We’re making this post to clear up some questions about using magnets!
From the start of sculpting to having a painted figure, the process often takes up to three months. And every time after printing, Rafael kept saying: “Let’s glue it! Let’s glue it!” But I’ve always dreaded gluing pieces before painting. My very first paint job was Messmer, and since he was glued together, I lost count of how many accidents happened and how many times I had to patch up that spear with epoxy putty.
When we first modeled Hornet, we weren’t yet creating figures, only miniatures, but it was always in our plans to revisit this model, and we felt this was the perfect moment.
We’ve been working on this figure since the end of August, and it’s been a very busy few weeks finishing everything. We redesigned the base to better distribute the model’s weight, adjusted the cuts, prepared it to support magnets like Knight, and also completed the print test.
This model is available as an extra model here on Patreon until <...
"A lithe fencer wielding a gilded pin, the traditional weapon of Pharloom. Lace is a dangerous foe, cloaked in mystery, who’ll delight at causing Hornet’s swift, skewered demise".
We think she’ll look amazing on your shelf.
Do you think you’ll have time to set her printing during the Silksong break?
This reward will be available here on Patreon until September 30.
I truly believe we’re on a lucky streak for the Hollow Knight community!
Our Hornet model arrived exactly on the day Silksong was confirmed for this year, and now Knight shows up to celebrate his half-sister’s launch party!
It was a really fun model to create, and, as always, Gian’s concepts are impeccable.
BIG NEWS: The 1-10 model is now ready to hold magnets! With N42 5x3 mm magnets, you can attach Knight without any glue! We hope this will be a great addition for our community.
Well, she won both rounds , no doubt about how much you wanted her!
For us, it was honestly a great surprise, since she wasn’t even on our radar. That makes it even better to create something the community is so excited about.
Blaidd, your time will come in the future!
We’ll open a WIP thread on Discord server to discuss the project, see you ...
We’re about to define the December model, and we’ve created a new system for you to suggest models.
Phase 1: Character Suggestions (paying members)
IMPORTANT: If you’re an Explorer or Experience Maker, make sure to link your Patreon account to Discord so you can participate in the December model suggestions. At this link, you’ll find how to do it.
We’ve been receiving many character requests, and we hope Volition will have a long life so we can bring all of them to reality.
At times, we’ve chosen to work on more “commercial” characters like Malenia, Hornet, and the Nightreign models. These help with visibility and, in a way, brought many of you here.
In our last polls (where Maliketh and Hollow Knight were chosen) two characters came very close: Ranni and Artorias. We’ve decided to make both next, as we truly believe in t...
After Maliketh, we said: “We're not doing another big figure anytime soon.” But goddamn... here we are.
To start with, of course, we had to include an alternative version with the greatsword, there’s just something so cool about this small doll wielding such a massive weapon!
We also made an alternate head with Revenant’s ultimate face, such a special little detail that we just couldn’t leave out.
As for the lyre, we’ve included two versions: one with strings, and one without, so you can craft your o...
As we always say around here: how’s your resin stock? To print the Maliketh figure, you’ll need a good amount of resin and several build plates.
I’m Bianca, Rafael’s wife. Since we decided to handle the printing side of things ourselves, I became responsible for supporting and printing the models.
Well, starting with Maliketh as my first fully supported print felt like diving straight into the Souls line of 3D printing, what a challenge it was! My expertise is in marketing, and there were moments I truly thought this mode...
