Wandy3D

A family project

Your own set of ornaments, made from a few words or a photo each

Fill the cells — “grandpa’s tractor”, “our cat”, “a burnt pizza” — and pick one style. Wandy3D turns every cell into a small 3D model, one after another. Then get a print file of each: 35–45 mm is a good size for an ornament.

One real set made on this page: the “Vinyl toy” style on Wandy 1. Renders of the models — not photos of prints.

A few words or one photo per cell. The total in credits is shown before anything starts.

How it works

From a list of ideas to a tray of small prints

  1. 1

    Fill the cells

    A few words or one photo per cell. Out of ideas? “Fill the rest for me” adds some from our list — change any of them.

  2. 2

    Pick one style

    Vinyl toy, carved wood, clay, low-poly or gingerbread: every cell described in words is drawn in the same style. A photo cell keeps the look of its photo.

  3. 3

    See the total, then start

    Each model is an ordinary generation at the ordinary price. The page shows the total for the whole set before the start and never starts more than your balance covers.

  4. 4

    Models arrive one by one

    Each takes a few minutes. You can close the page: the set keeps going and the models land in your library.

  5. 5

    Print them small

    Open “Print file” on a model: the size starts at 40 mm and can be anything from 30 to 400 mm. The print check is free.

The big one

An advent calendar of 24 small models

Choose 24 cells and the set becomes a calendar: one small model for each day of the countdown. Fill a few cells yourself and let “Fill the rest for me” finish the list. The models are made one after another, a few minutes each, so a full calendar takes a good while — plan for an hour or two, and close the page if you like.

Fill your set
  • Same rules as a small set: ordinary prices, the total before the start, nothing beyond your balance.
  • A printable list of the 24 days with every model’s picture — to check off, or to put on the fridge.
  • No numbered boxes or frame are generated yet: number your own boxes or bags from the list.
  • 24 cells from words on Wandy 1: 960.

What it costs

Ordinary prices, counted before you start

  • A cell from words on Wandy 1: 40 (10 for the picture + 30 for the model).
  • A cell from a photo on Wandy 1: 30.
  • A set of six from words: 240. A new account starts with 250.
  • Wandy 1.1 and Wandy 2 give more detail and cost more per model — the total updates as you choose.
  • A print file: 20 per model without a plan, personal use. The print check is free.

Plainly

What to know before you start

  • No hanging loop yet

    The models come without a loop or a hole for a thread. Tie a ribbon around the figure, glue on an eye pin, or stand the figures on a shelf.

  • Small prints lose fine detail

    At 35–45 mm thin parts can break. The styles here ask for chunky shapes, the print engine thickens thin parts to the minimum wall, and the free print check says whether the model is ready to print.

  • A cell can fail

    If a model does not come out, its generation credits return to your balance by themselves and the cell gets a “Try again” button.

  • You print them

    Wandy3D makes the models and the print files. Printing happens on your printer or at a print service you choose.

Questions

Every cell is an ordinary generation. On Wandy 1 a cell from words costs 40 credits (10 for the picture and 30 for the model) and a cell from a photo costs 30. A set of six from words is 240 credits. Wandy 1.1 and Wandy 2 cost more per model. The page shows the total before you start.

The set keeps going on our side: the models are made one after another and land in your library. Come back to this page to see the set. If you were away when it finished, we send one e-mail about the whole set.

The credits of that generation return to your balance automatically, and the cell says why it failed. You can try it again: the picture already drawn for it is reused, so the picture is not paid for twice. If two cells in a row fail, the set pauses instead of going on.

Yes, as small figures. “Print file” starts at 40 mm, and you can set any size from 30 to 400 mm. The print check is free. The print file costs 20 credits per model without a plan (personal use). The model has no hanging loop yet: tie a ribbon around it or glue on an eye pin.

Yes. A cell takes either a few words or one photo. The style applies to cells described in words; a photo cell is made from the photo as it is.

Wandy 1 is the quickest and the cheapest, and it is the default for sets. Wandy 1.1 and Wandy 2 give more detail and cost more per model; the extra detail matters most on larger prints.

Yes. Choose 24 cells: each one becomes a small model for one day of the countdown. From words on Wandy 1 a full calendar costs 960 credits. The models are made one after another, a few minutes each, so plan for an hour or two — you can close the page. When they are ready, print the list of the 24 days from the set page. Numbered boxes or a frame are not generated yet.
