Gift ideas
A figure of someone's pet, a child's drawing you can hold, a paper model to fold together. Upload a photo, get a 3D model in a few minutes and turn it into a print file or a papercraft.

How we count
The collection
Everything here is something Wandy3D produces now. Prices are in credits and are shown before you confirm.
RenderA person, a character or a favourite object as a small figure. The print check makes it solid and adds a stand if it would tip over.
RenderOne sharp photo with the whole animal in the frame. Fine fur and whiskers may need a light cleanup; the preview shows it before you print.
RenderPhotograph the paper. The drawing becomes a 3D model you can print, fold from paper or build from bricks.
PreviewPrintable pages with numbered glue tabs, for an ordinary paper printer. No 3D printer needed.
PreviewCut sheets for a sculpture stacked from flat layers, for someone who has a laser cutter.
PreviewStep-by-step instructions and a parts list for a brick model. The bricks themselves are not included.
The pictures are renders and maker previews of files made with Wandy3D on our own accounts, not photos of finished gifts.
The date
No timer that starts again. One rule, printed here: the day you need the gift, minus 7 days.
Day 1
Make the model and run the free print check. Leave time to try a second photo.
Days 2–3
Print it, with room for one failed print and a second run.
Days 4–5
Remove the supports, clean it up, paint it if you like and let the paint dry.
Days 6–7
Spare days, and wrapping.

This is a safe date for printing at home, not a hard limit: at 75 mm our two example reports estimate 1.2 and 1.5 hours of printing once the file is ready. Print services and the post need longer, so check their own holiday cut-offs. Paper crafts need only a paper printer, scissors and glue. Dates follow your own calendar.
What it costs
New accounts start with 250 credits. The print check costs nothing; the model and the files cost credits.
No hanging loops, keyring rings, name plates or engraved text. If the gift needs a loop or a name, add it in your slicer or a CAD program before printing. A lithophane (a photo that glows when lit from behind) has its own free maker on this site. Wandy3D makes the files; it does not print or ship anything.
A photo gift that glows: the free lithophane maker turns a picture into a printable plate, right in your browser.
