3d printing

draw it. make it. live with it.

original objects by zayd. illustrated bookmarks, a cactus with room for jewelry, and the experiments between an idea and something worth keeping.

why: i draw, and i wanted the drawings to become objects people actually use. every piece here starts as artwork, goes through CAD, and gets printed on the bambu x2d you can watch live on conjure, along with how that setup works.

these are artwork and CAD studies, not finished-part photos. physical reviews and tested download files will follow. the archive keeps the awkward iterations too.
