A few weeks ago a released a bunch of 3D printable bird eggs for free on savimade.ca this one is a House Wren.

Painting up a #3Dprinted Eastern Foxsnake. #SciArt #NatureArt

I made a process video that shows how I paint egg speckles! 🥚 In this case, I'm painting piping plovers eggs. The file I used in the video is a free one! savimade.ca/shop/animals... #SciArt #ornithology #natureArt

Fresh off their cross-Canada research trip, Madison and Natalie discussed Motus Audio migration monitoring with CBC Windsor Morning today. Listen to their birdy chat here: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social @birdscanada.bsky.social @lincolnsavi.bsky.social

All three 3D-printable Spiny Softshell model files are now available on Savimade.ca for folks with 3D printers. There's an adult female, adult male, and a young juvenile. #SciArt 🐢

I brought the adult female Spiny Softshell 3D-printed model to the park to take pictures of her and BOY did that attract a lot of attention... 😆 I just made the file available if anyone wants to try to print her themselves. Keep in mind she's kind of huge though! 48cm long carapace.

I finished the set of 3D printed Spiny Softshell turtles! 🐢 Aren't they fun? The female is the largest animal model I've made by volume so far. I printed her in 7 pieces. #SciArt #NatureArt

New hatchlings incoming! Recognize the species? 🐢 👀 #SciArt #3Dprinting #herpetology

Wanna see something cool?! 3D printed, hand painted softshell turtle head with resin eyes. I'm loving this project and I'm excited so do all of my eyes this way from now on. It really adds to the realism. #SciArt 🐢

It's kind of crazy how a good set of eyes brings a 3D-printed sculpture to life. #SciArt

Last night I did a bit of sanding and puttying and sanding to the Spiny Softshell carapace. I think this will do a good job of hiding the seams.

I tried something new when making the eyes for this spiny softshell model. Usually I just 3D print a sphere for eyes and then paint on the surface of it and then clear coat it. This time, I recessed the iris and pupil. I Painted them, and then built up the lens of the eyes with UV resin. WAY COOLER!

Biggest turtle species yet! 🐢 #SciArt #NatureArt #Herpetology

Been painting 3D printed song sparrows the past couple days. #SciArt #NatureArt #3Dprinting #birds

My girlfriend and I had another paint night! 🐛 This time we did Puss Moth caterpillars. This was a one-day-build. I sculpted, printed, and then we painted, all in the same afternoon/evening. STL files available on Savimade.ca. #SciArt #NatureArt

I added a few different 3D printable turtle eggs to the website! And they're free! #SciArt 🐢

I think it's important for people to learn what species they have locally so they can be excited about them and feel some responsibility for their well-being. Since we as a species have largely taken over the planet, it seems like the right thing to do: make sure other species can still live here.🐡🐍

I just painted this 3D printed Massasauga Rattlesnake neonate (notice the little button instead of a rattle). It's so cute and small but still kind of mean looking. #SciArt #NatureArt 🐍

I've added two fully finished models of Great Auk eggs to Savimade.ca. Great Auks were hunted to extinction in the 1800s. Their eggs were also highly sought after by Victorian egg collectors. These models are 3D prints that were covered in spackling compound, sanded, and painted. #SciArt

I finished a set of educational American Eel models! I had to trim the full length video for it to fit on instagram and bluesky. But this is the most of it! #SciArt #Educational #3Dprinting 🐡

Blue spotted salamander model and some basic blue spotted salamander facts. #SciArt

My girlfriend and I had another paint night this weekend. This time we painted some 3D-printed Redside Dace! #SciArt #NatureArt 🐟

I've been working on some 3D printed American Eel life cycle models this week. The final step, that I'm doing right now, is applying a two-part epoxy clear coat. This eel is currently hanging from the ceiling while it cures. #3Dprinting #eels #SciArt 🐟

This is a 3D printed and painted American Toad model. 🐸 I finished the original sculpt about 6 years ago so I revisited and updated it to my liking. I printed it in resin on an Anycubic Photon mono m5s and painted it with Golden high flow acrylics using both an air brush and paint brushes.

Hot off the 3D-printers, version 2 of our Motus Audio night flight call microphone. We're revising our microphone with some exciting new innovations, ahead of the spring 2026 migration. With Jeff Dutter, Lincoln Savi of SaviMade @lincolnsavi.bsky.social, Madison Bygrove, Natalie Emerick, and me.

How I paint a 3D printed strawberry poison dart frog 🍓 ☠️ 🎯🐸 #SciArt #NatureArt

I had another painting night with my girlfriend this weekend. This time we painted 3D-printed Strawberry Poison dart frogs (Oophaga pumilio). Printfiles available: savimade.ca. No 3D printer? You can reach out via the website and I can print some copies for you to host your own paint night!

I finished a set of 3D printed turtles this week! These fellas are off to teach the general public about local turtle populations. 🐢 #SciArt
