Language is important. It shapes our stories, both the ones we tell ourselves and those we share with the world.
On the surface the term “Self Taught” is generally accepted as meaning that someone has acquired a skill set without any formal education. But is this really the case? Usually not. In fact, the term is a misnomer at best, an egotistical lie at worst. When flaunted as a status symbol, it prompts the question: Are you truly self-taught, self-made… or merely self-centered?
While I never attended an arts college, I am far from self-taught. My learning sources have been many – books, tutorials, YouTube marathons, wisdom shared by peers, other artists, and even an friendly old man at a bus stop. Each has shaped my artistic journey in their own unique way, and to label myself as “self-taught” would obscure their invaluable contributions.
The paths we tread are forged by countless teachers and mentors, many of whom we will never meet, and who will never know of the role they’ve played in our lives. We are not “self taught”.
So what are we then? Self directed learners? Community-taught? I don’t know, but I do know the term ‘Self taught’ at it’s core is a lonely road, and despite the superficial intent behind its most common usage,
language is important.
Hey there, Sparky Squad!
I’m sure you know by now that we’ve been on a thrilling journey with Thangs.com, the fresh-faced hub for all things 3D encouraging creativity, and innovation. But buckle up, because we’re taking a new turn with the Thangs Creator Contest!
This weekly challenge allows us 3D creators to rack up points that we can exchange for physical goodies from Thangs Partners. But here’s the thing – we’re not just doing it for the goodies, but for a cause that matters. Every prize we snatch from this leaderboard challenge will be handed straight to charity.
Curious about how to gather points? Here’s a quick run-down:
The Thangs Creator Contest resets every week, from Friday through Thursday EST. Our collective efforts could secure between $30 to $100 each week for a deserving charity! That’s up to $400 a month!!
So, my fellow Sparks, let’s engage with the SparkyFace5 models on Thangs and make our way up that leaderboard, turning our shared passion for 3D printing into a force for good.
Download, like, share, follow, and let’s use our collective spark to light up the world.

I’m delighted to share with you my latest 3D model, the Little Carved Moose, inspired by the movie, ‘The Mitchells vs. the Machines.’ This petite carving brims with powerful emotions, resonating with a depth that may seem surprising for something so small.
When I first spotted this miniature moose on screen, I was instantly moved by the swell of nostalgia, love, hope, and sorrow it seemed to radiate. It’s more than just a keepsake; it’s a symbol of family, of the bonds we forge, fracture, and fix, and of time’s inexorable march that alters everything in its path.
I felt a profound connection to it, a pull that drove me to recreate it.
I hope this model reverberates with you as it does with me

Spike from Brawl Stars is Here!
You might remember this prickly little fella from our Twitch streams. He’s finally ready to jump into your 3D printing queue.
Spike’s been chomping at the bit (or should I say, ‘the cactus’?) to get into the action. Holding his signature cactus grenade and flashing a winning smile, Spike’s personality really shines through in this model. He can stand tall on his own, but if he’s feeling a bit wobbly, there’s a base to help keep him grounded.
As you may have noticed our Patreon models are now also available on Thangs memberships, so for those of you who have subscribed there, Spike is waiting for you as well.
More to come on this soon, but in the meantime, keep spreading the Spark, and happy printing!

I’m excited to announce these new 3D printable models from our May the 4th Star Wars themed live stream that I think you’re going to love.
1. Cookie Wookie
First up, the one and only “Cookie Wookie” featuring Cookie Monster from Sesame Street dressed up as Chewbacca from Star Wars, munching on cookies from a cookie jar shaped like the Death Star capturing the playful and lovable spirit of both Cookie monster and Chewbacca. This highly detailed model has been designed to be FDM friendly, printing without any supports!
2. Calvin Skywalker
Calvin from the beloved comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, dressed up as the iconic Star Wars hero, Luke Skywalker. This is is the results from the exciting and fast paced 25 minute sculpting challenge initiated by viewer lastRymac during the stream sighting “Calvin dressed as Luke” at the subject. This model depicts Calvin extending his left hand, using the force to lift objects or using the Jedi mind trick, while his right hand grasps at his lightsaber on his belt ready for action should the need arise.
3. Two Cute Jawas
Lastly the two Adorable stylized Jawas, created at the beginning of the stream, one in a upright pose and the other leaning curiously to the side hiding their hands behind their backs in an effort to appear innocent of whatever tricks they have been up to. Both of these delightful models print without supports as well
Whether you’re a fan of Star Wars, Sesame Street, Calvin and Hobbes or just love collecting unique and fun 3D printed models, these are must-haves for your collection.
