Clockspring 3D

Hey there printer-ers! :D
Maybe you know me from my 200+ MyMiniFactory designs, my time on the Autodesk Tinkercad advisory team, or maybe you just happened by!  However you ended up here: welcome!  I'm Sven, aka Clockspring3D, and I spend a great deal of my time designing for 3D printing.

So, why Patreon?
I'm aiming to use this as a means of focusing the work I do and engaging better with the people who enjoy it.  At present, I really just deliver the end products, and that's about it - just the finalised, tested prints, photographed and uploaded.  I'd really like to share more about the process, and I'm hoping to use Patreon for that.

Behind the scenes for you, focus for me!
I make plenty of stuff that never ends up being finished.  Some things only get so far before I decide they're not that interesting after all.  Others just don't really work for some reason, or maybe I just get a more compelling idea and cast the current one aside.  If you want to see work in progress, formative ideas, and so on, then this is the Patreon for you.

However, I want to do more than just give visibility on my process.  I really like being part of a community, so I'm really hoping for feedback and conversations.  I often jot down lists of ideas for things to work on, but they're rarely in any kind of priority order.  Maybe you think one of the ideas sounds cooler than the rest - tell me, and perhaps priorities will emerge :)

But what do I get, other than a warm and fuzzy feeling?
Obviously you're here because you want to suport me, right?  Right?!  Anyway, what do you get in return?  Well, firstly, exclusive designs that I won't be posting anywhere else!  Plus, any designs that I post up elsewhere for sale will be here for Creative Printer level supporters - free!  I still want to keep posting free stuff too, though, and by supporting me you'll be supporting that.

Is there anything else I should know?
I have a couple of awkward videos on YouTube (see link in the socials section).  I'd love to do more someday, but they really suck up time that I'd rather spend designing!

How do you know you can keep putting out new designs?
I've been doing so for several years now!  Check out my MyMiniFactory designs for an idea of the kind of stuff I like making.  Note that if you're a Creative Printer tier backer you will get access to my paid-for designs for free!

Thanks for reading all this!
If you've decided to become a backer, then awesome!  Yay!  Thank you!  If not, that's cool, and you can still check out the multitude of free designs I have on MyMiniFactory

Have fun!
