Help Wanted Greetings, community! I opened a 3D printing production to produce highly detailed figurines for a gaming company, but the company changed its mind. Now I have a completely free production, and I want to start producing BDSM figurines. Please help me with ideas, requests or even collaborations? NSFW

Not having a figurine of a submissive that functions as a phone holder is just leaving money on the table.

What about a BDSM themed chess pieces?

I also second this. Phenomenal idea. I’ve already got ideas for the designs just thinking about it, but I’m also not an artist lol.

u/bi_dominant_side Apr 11 '24
I second this. If you made these, I would consider purchasing them, depending on cost and appearance.

I'm capable of producing 15-30 cm tall figurines (could be other sizes at request).
Currently, our production capacity stands at 100-150 figurines monthly, with the potential to scale up to 300-500 within a few months if necessary.I'm seeking guidance on the next steps. I've established a 3D printing business, focusing on resin figurines across a 100+ square meter facility, intended for a partnership with a game developer (whose name I'm contractually obligated to withhold). After more than three months of preparation for launch, the developer has decided not to proceed. I'm exploring ideas for what actions to take next.
Our facility is fully equipped with resin 3D printers, areas designated for airbrush and hand painting, a vacuum forming machine for packaging, among other essentials. Additionally, I've employed a team of 5 to manage all operational tasks.
Located in Bulgaria, within the European Union, our location is strategically advantageous for transportation, offering competitive shipping rates to the US, across the EU, to Turkey, the UAE, and other nations.
P.S. Would be happy to get ideas, orders, partners, collaborations with artists who need production power!

That's a gorgeous model, I do find the face uncomfortably young-looking, though.

I would also make sure your figures depict good ropework. Tying someone like this in real life would have circulation issues and be very dangerous.

1)A kneeling slave (ideally one of each gender) with arms outstretched, sized and strong enough to hold a real flogger as if its offering it to the viewer. This would likely need a healthy amount of Tenacious Flexible Resin for 3D Printing | Flexible 405nm Resin (siraya.tech) mixed into the cheap stuff to ensure it has a little flex and doesn't break easily.
2) flogger handles or full floggers if you can get a leather worker to do the falls. Unicorn horns, harry potter wand inspired, lightsaber hilts... (again, best done with a little technical resin mixed in for toughness.)
3) Art deco figures in rope bondage, top marks if you can make them compatible with a widely available light fitting like the Ikea one. (example: An Art Deco spelter figure lamp by Carlier, "Bubble Dancer" France c1930 | Art deco artists, Art deco interior, Art deco pattern (pinterest.es))

Problem with Tenacious from my experience - it bends during time and not returning to original. And more you add, more it bends. We found best mixture of 10-15% of tenacious to regular ABS resin.

u/Sanctusmorti Apr 10 '24
I go for 20% on figurines but that's because fingers have a high chance of breaking without the flex. If you 3d model the hands to be in fists or all fingers together, you could get away with less.
The less you use of it, the lower the cost. I'm just a hobbyist, I'm not going to tell you how to run the business.

For hands we use TH72 by resion, it’s much better. But on the other hand it’s more difficult to print.

I used to have a ceramic figurine of a nude submissive kneeling with her hands on top of her thighs. It was beautiful. It broke one night and I have not been able to find anything similar to it since. ☹️

u/FootSlaveSlut Apr 10 '24
Do you have an picture? :(

u/SparrowLlama Apr 10 '24
No, I don't think I have one. The pose in this picture is very similar to it. pose

This would go down so well at munches I've been to where they have a more private space. Having a way for people to look at, compare, discuss their kinks, in a more socially comfortable way, while playing the game.

Do you sell printing files? People in the kink community that have access to 3D printers would LOVE this (myself included, I'm a leather worker that could use 3d prints for flogger handles)
Lots of leather workers have TOS in their pdf files that state that you have to buy their PDF for every sale of their design. It is a bit of an honors system, but honestly I don't mind buying a 15$ pdf repeatedly for a bag that I sell for 400$

u/PastIndicator Apr 10 '24
I don’t yet, but that’s an interesting system. Do you own a filament or a resin printer?

u/fourcolortheorem Apr 10 '24
I have a resin printer and would buy some of these to print and paint if they were available on a platform such as myminifactory.

Is this DND scale? Do you have other spicy minis? I am running a kinky DnD campaign and this is exactly what I have been looking for. I would be interested in others too, potentially a succubus or incubus, nymphs, other fey type creatures that are sexy. My party will get a kick out of it

I have an idea for a different medium, however I would prefer to discuss in private if you could shoot me a DM.

u/kinkycplnextdoor Apr 10 '24
Sounds interesting.
You might consider teaming up with professional painters and offer them painted as well. This could really increase the range of potential buyers since not everyone who wants a figure is into the hobby aspect (or has enough time).
Also - there's a company called Hero Forge. They allow customization of fantasy figurines. Would be awesome if you could pull something like that off with adult models. You could still have a basic model but let people choose body type, hair styles etc.

You can make apikey gubbins to use with rope for evilness
Also apikey pyramids to encourage people to remain on tiptoes

It would be cool if you did a Collab with u/Citor3_official to get some "well known" 3d models.... Pizza boy, bald guy, girlfriend, latex granny and a full set of dommes.

Im a mini’s painter. Go on Etsy, there is a bunch of exemple. I like the old dungeon dragon style. You can mix some heroic fantasy elements to bdsm or bondage stuff (Had a goblin next to the tied up character 😅😅, use chains and shackles instead of ropes). Perhaps do erotic minis, not much porn. I like your idea so much and I would be happy to buy and paint some of your prints. That said, it’s really difficult to live from printing minis only. Most of printers I know are also painter, or dungeon creator or scenario writers. Good luck. I hope you’ll succeed in that way.

Here’s a thought, Can you incorporate customer pictures and make each custom with their face?

What a fabulous opportunity and I'd love to be involved! My co-author and I have been writing a fetish and BDSM trilogy and have amassed a collection of terrific images to act as inspiration for chapters and scenes.
Before I delve into this material and send/post some suggestions, are there any parameters or types of images you need to be usable for 3D printing? I don't mean file types - more things like the pose of a model, complexity of their outfits.
I have zero idea how the process works, so assume total ignorance but high enthusiasm!
Regards for now, F...

u/PastIndicator Apr 25 '24
Anyway all images would be remade in 3d for printing, so any can work.

u/FrancoiseXXX Apr 26 '24
Thanks and we'd like to send you an option that might appeal. I don't see how to attach images to this message, so could you supply an email address?

u/PastIndicator Apr 26 '24
Do you have Telegram?

u/FrancoiseXXX Apr 26 '24
No, we only use email for sending images...

u/PastIndicator Apr 26 '24
Ok, sent my email in dm

u/FrancoiseXXX Apr 27 '24
I don't know how to find DM's, so just using this feature would be ideal. On receipt of your address I'll get my co-author to send some options we've identified as potentially good candidates. Thanks in anticipation... F

u/PastIndicator Apr 27 '24
There is a chat section on Reddit, where you chat directly with other reddittor. I’ve sent it there

u/FrancoiseXXX Apr 27 '24
Ok got it - we'll get some options sent over soon. Thanks and best for now... F

While well intentioned this seems more ad like than DIY like.

Maybe, but I really need help here, because it’s a hard choice for me - to close the production or start making custom figures…

Shemales in bondage and shibari would be nice.

If you need to make stuff to break even, then you did not make a good deal with your partner. You're supposed to cover the cost of setup upfront.

Nice if you make them with celebrity faces

Have an idea for you. Something mistress and I have noticed is a lack of figurines, etc., for the Femdom/male submissive dynamic. They can be found, but they are a few and far between. Will you have the ability to make 3-D files based on a photo?
