Calling all dog lovers! If you have a 3D printing pen, colored filament, and a free puppy project template, you have all the materials you need to create your very own adorable 3D printed dog. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of constructing a dog using your 3D printing pen. Get ready to unleash your creativity and have fun with this project!

Materials Needed

Before we get started, let’s gather all the materials you’ll need for this project:

3D printing pen
Colored filament
Free puppy project template
Sticky tack

Make sure you have these materials on hand before starting the project to ensure a smooth construction process.

Preparation

Now that we have all the materials, it’s time to set up your workspace. Find a clean and well-lit area where you can work comfortably. Make sure you have enough space to move around and access all your materials easily.

Next, download and print the puppy project template. This template will serve as a guide for constructing your 3D printed dog. Once you have the template ready, gather all the materials that you will need for the construction process.

Constructing the Torso

Let’s start by constructing the torso of the dog. Begin by using the 3D printing pen to create conical layers around the torso. This will form the main structure of the body. Take your time and be careful not to rush the process.

Once you have completed layering the torso, flip it over and stabilize it with a small amount of sticky tack. This will ensure that the torso stays in place and doesn’t move around while you work on other parts of the dog.

Now, repeat the coiling process on the other side of the torso. This will add depth and stability to the structure. Take your time and make sure the coils are secure before moving on to the next step.

Adding the Legs

Now that the torso is complete, it’s time to add the legs. Trace the legs on the puppy project template and attach them using the 3D printing pen. This step will give your 3D printed dog a more three-dimensional appearance.

As you attach the legs, make sure to add form and dimensions to them. Use the 3D printing pen to add thickness and smooth out any rough edges. This will make the legs look more realistic and sturdy.

Drawing the Paw Pads

To add some cute and realistic details to your 3D printed dog, it’s time to draw the paw pads. Use the 3D printing pen to carefully draw on the paw pads. Pay attention to the shape and size of the paw pads, as this will give your dog an adorable touch.

After drawing the paw pads, consider adding texture and additional details to make them stand out. You can create small lines or dots to mimic the texture of a real dog’s paw pads. Let your creativity shine through in this step!

Creating the Face

Now it’s time to bring your 3D printed dog to life by creating its face. Start by tracing over the face outline provided in the puppy project template. The 3D printing pen will allow you to create precise lines and shapes.

Once you have traced the face, focus on coiling around the nose and mouth area. This will give your dog a more defined facial structure. Take your time with this step and make sure the coils are secure before moving on.

Repeat the coiling process with the back of the head, connecting it to the rest of the dog’s body. This will ensure that your 3D printed dog has a seamless and cohesive appearance.

Building up the Nose Profile

To make your 3D printed dog look even more realistic, it’s important to build up the nose profile. Layer in filament to create the shape of the nose, and don’t forget to add colors and facial details to make it come alive.

Take your time with this step and pay attention to the details. Add different shades of filament to create depth and make the nose look more lifelike. This will give your dog a unique and personalized touch.

Filling in the Body and Leg Contouring

Now that the major features of your 3D printed dog are complete, it’s time to fill in the body and add some leg contouring. Use the 3D printing pen to carefully fill in the body and shape the legs. This will give your dog a more solid and realistic appearance.

As you fill in the body and shape the legs, consider adding depth and contours to make your dog look more three-dimensional. Take your time with this step and use different colors of filament to create a realistic coat.

Attaching the Ears

To complete the head of your 3D printed dog, it’s time to attach the ears. Trace the ears on the puppy project template and use the 3D printing pen to create the ear shapes. Once the ears are ready, carefully attach them to the head of the dog.

Make sure the ears are securely attached and blend seamlessly with the rest of the head. You can adjust the length and position of the ears to match your own dog or create a unique look.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own adorable 3D printed dog using a 3D printing pen. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you were able to bring your dog to life and personalize it to resemble your own pet.

Remember to have fun with the process and let your creativity shine through. Feel free to adjust the length, color, and position of the ears, tail, and legs to make your 3D printed dog truly unique. You can even create a special toy to accompany your dog, like a little shoe.
