Ten printers,six hundred numbers.

Deft Creations started as one Pokéball printed for a friend. It is now a ten-printer workshop in Southeast Texas: Pokéballs in two sizes for every Pokémon we can source a model for, window figures in Full-size and Mini, and the occasional household object. Models are designed in CAD, Blender and ZBrush by designers we work with, then test-printed and photographed here before they get a number.

Common questions

Something else? Contact us — replies within a day.

Are these official Pokémon products?

No. Deft Creations is an independent fan workshop. Models are designed in CAD, Blender and ZBrush by designers we work with, and sold as handmade 3D printed collectibles.

What is the difference between Full-size and Mini?

Full-size are generally 200mm tall (or taller), whereas Mini is roughly 100mm tall.

Is the color painted on?

No. Every color is a separate filament printed into the part, so nothing chips or fades with handling.

Can I request a specific color or material?

Yes. Leave a note at checkout or contact us with the model and the color or material you want; we will confirm before printing.

How long does an order take?

In-stock models ship within two business days. Made-to-order models add three to five days of print time; the product page says which.

Can you print a Pokémon that is not in the catalog?

Not at this time, mostly due to time constraints.
