Crafsman! I'm shocked you even stumbled onto my little channel but thanks for making my day! This video editing business is hard work and trying it for myself just makes me appreciate your content even more!
At last a tutorial vid that really can try by most designer and artist in mid cost budget 3D printer not by some other video seen on youtube showing resin 3D printer as a must to do a figurine project
wicked cool process, i would say investing in a cricket would help when making your packaging. Its pretty expensive, but def helpful depending if your making a lot products. At that point you would be your very own tiny toy factory lol
You know, it's crazy but I actually bought a cricut for my wife last year and I never thought to use it for this project (I actually ended up using it in a later video) if I make another set of toys I will absolutely take your advice and use it
Aside from the big tools in the description and the 3D Filament here's what else I used: Acrylic Craft Paint - They weren't even all from the same brand just got the colors I liked from my local hobby store Rustoleum 2 in 1 Filler & Sandable Primer - I'm sure any sandable primer can get you just as good results but you may need more layers Sargent Art Acrylic Gloss and Varnish - To coat the finished pieces but I'm sure any other Clear coat gloss will do the trick too. Posterboard - I trimmed it to 13x19 so it would fit my printer Transparency sheets for inkjet printers - This is for the window of the packaging, I'm sure there's better alternatives but I already had these on hand since I use those for screen printing. And the interior packaging was done with the Mayku Clear sheets and their Vacuum former.
Sooo good, thanks for sharing the whole process, really interesting! I haven't seen anyone vacuum form their own packaging before, very impressive! Subscribed!
one thought i had was to make the different colour parts print seperately and use filament that matches each of their colour, then snap fit or glue them together (snap fit if ur more experienced with how to design clips that do as such)
That's a great idea! I was still learning the ropes with blender at the time so I kept the process as simple as I could. But yeah, this would definitely look nice with separate filament colors. I do want to make some posable 'action figure' type stuff, so maybe now's time to learn how to design clips.
Hello Andy! Great work! I was wondering if you have a video showing the software you use to design the box. Or how to design it. Do you work as a packging designer? I am prototyping a new product and I am looking forward to design a package just like this! Let me know if you can help me :)
Hey Andy thanks for all this information. I awoke this morning with a complete design idea. But had no idea where to start or how to get it on the shelves. But I'm unfamiliar with the equipment you are using but is faster method than I know. This is really cool.
Made in America finally thanks for sharing you did amazing job. I have been looking myself for someone to do designer vinyl toys without shipping it off to Alibaba
Hey, quick question, did you ever find any vinyl toy manufacturer that’s taking small quantities at a reasonable price? they’re all asking me for 800 just for the sample
yellow is a very tricky colour, i find that vallejo's red and yellow is more opaque compared to folk art. But a light / white base before applying these colours helps a bunch.
I do have another video where I went into a bit more detail on the packaging, hopefully that one answers some questions on the negative. If not just ask and I'll be happy to try and help!
This is a great video! I'm at the start of my journey to make an action figure (learning Blender and 3D printing), and this was super helpful to see your process! Thank you for sharing!!
put the paint tape on your pants perfectly flat and then peel it off and then apply it to whatever you're trying to mask it will give it just a little bit easier time coming off and you won't peel up any paint in the future on any other projects as much. I love your little pencil guy.
All the ones I made in when I made this video are gone but that doesn't mean I won't make another batch of them someday! Also yes, my plan is to make the marker and the paint brush as well to complete that set. I don't have exact dates of when I'll have some for sale again but I'll try to update here and on instagram when I do!
It's not one of those printers pricing in the thousands if that's what you mean. It's wider format than a standard office printer but it's in the same price range. It's the Epson xp-15000, but any printer that can print 13inches wide will work. Also Inkjet-based is better than toner-based in this case.
When should you have started to mask it ? ( I did try painting stuff at one point and found myself with a not clean line Also would it have been better if you spray painted the model vs used a brush ?
Yes, an airbrush would have resulted in a much cleaner final appearance. I think there were too many parts that were difficult to mask especially for multiples so getting a base coat and then painting the rest with brush was faster. As for when I should have started to mask it, it was more a matter of what I used, not when I used it. I think for what I was trying to do, the best solution would have been masking fluid, I didn't even know it existed until recently and I'll be trying that on my next project.
Hey Andy ! Im from Germany, im really interested to make my own collectible toy, what kind of a printer do you use for the box print ? Or do you let print in an print shop ?
I printed directly on the posterboard. The glossy side doesn't have the same bite that photo paper has and made the prints smear from the printer rollers... so instead I printed on the matte side and then sprayed a UV coat on it afterwards. I think printing on paper and then gluing it onto posterboard could work but it could tear the paper if you aren't careful.
I used a regular inkjet printer but I printed on the matte side and then sprayed a protective varnish over it. With a better printer you might be able to print on the glossy side but I had poor results with my printer
Dude ur an animal!!! So cool. Just one question. Have you ever thought about getting a plotter to make those boxes more efficiently. Plotters can help to cut faster , more precise as well as score your folds. Any ways amazing work!!!!
Thank you so much for going over the whole process from start to finish. I was interested in possibly selling figures eventually that are just like this process. What brand of paint did you use? The paint job looks professionally done!
Thank you! I didn't use any fancy paints, just the standard craft paints that all the big box craft stores sell. The secret was applying the gloss top coat with an airbrush. For that I used Sargent Art Acrylic Gloss and Varnish
@@AndyMakes Awesome, I will definitely look into getting that. Also for cutting the boxes wouldn’t it save a lot of time to get a cricut maker to do it for you? I think you mentioned before that your printer is inkjet, which works with them I believe.
damn this just showed up on my home page, great thumbnail, great video, keep up the great work and good luck, ya earned one small insignificant sub from me!
Actually, they are indeed just printed with a normal inkjet printer! These are small boxes, so I was able to fit the entire box template on a 13in. x 19in. piece of paperboard. If you were working on something much bigger you'd need a wide format printer but there's quite a few household printers that can print 13 inches wide. After printing I sprayed the paper with a UV archival varnish to ensure that it wouldn't get ruined while folding it plus it will protect it from aging too.
This is amazing! I’ve been thinking about making a vinyl toy business and since I already have people interested in the concepts and prototypes i’ve been printing, i’ve been wondering if it’s convenient to send my model to manufacturers online or get it 3D printed somewhere and finish it myself with my materials. My budget is really low ($500) and I can’t buy wholesale at the moment (Need 25pc at most)
With such a low amount needed and your budget, the 'manufacturing and having them take care of colors/finishes' route is probably not possible. I think the best way to stretch your budget is to find a makerspace that lets you use their printers that way you can focus on filaments and materials you might want for finishing it.
Thank you! I think the biggest reason why I just painted it all before the clear coat was the complication of masking the inside of the mouth when it's such a small area. If I would've printed the tongue separately it would've been easier but the brushes let me get into those tight spaces
The next time I make a package design I'll be sure to record the process designing it but the process is pretty simple so hopefully this is a good start 'til I make a video: You can find tons of templates for boxes online. For instance, this website has a bunch of package styles to choose from: //www.templatemaker.nl/en/ Once You find one you like, you open it up in your favorite software (I used adobe illustrator, though inkscape is free) and make the design you want for each face. If you're printing in color you want to make sure the design goes passed where you're cutting so that you don't get any weird edges. Once you print it you just cut it and fold it. The templates tell you where you need to cut and fold. If you're making your own without a template, you'll want to mark those lines out yourself too. Sorry I didn't record this one, but I am planning on making another batch of toys and I'll be sure to record the process designing the box next time!
It might not make a profit at the prices you'd expect in a store, but if you're making high quality products and are selling these are more limited-run artistic pieces there's potential for profit. Just don't expect a living off of these selling them at Funko prices. These were all made as gifts and definitely a labor of love.
I used regular posterboard (Where I live it's usually in the school supply aisle of most stores) and cut it down to a size that fit my printer. My printer is the Epson XP-15000
The board I used had a small enough thickness that I was able to fit it in my printer no problem. I just made sure to print on the matte side, the glossy side doesn't really want to absorb printer ink.
Realistically, since you wouldn't charge for time but rather for the materials involved, how much would you need to sell each one for to make a worthwhile profit at such a small run? Just a general hypothetical question, also taking out the cost of the 3D printer and vacuum forming machine.
This is a hard question to answer but I'll do my best. Almost none of the things I bought for the project were used up entirely with this batch, for instance, the paint bottles cost $6 each but I didn't use up an entire bottle for the project and made 20 of the pencils, I could probably make another 20 and still have paint to spare. I used 99¢ posterboard for the boxes, but each poster gets you two boxes. However, printing out 20 boxes uses up my printer's ink cartridges so around $2 in ink each. The Vacuum form sheets are also around the dollar mark as well and the cost of PLA for the 3d print? I could probably print 40 of these in one roll ($20) but you also have to factor that your printer will mess up multiple times and you'll lose some plastic there. All in all, I'd say the material costs for each one is somewhere around the $10-$15 area. So anything more than that is a profit. I'd take that cost and factor in what you'd charge for your time (this is also tricky to factor because while the model took a few hours... that's a fixed one time deal, but then there's the recurring print time, painting time etc...) Material + time cost should give you a worthwhile profit number... I'd say $30 is probably decent. Maybe less if you get good prices on the materials and can speed up your process? Hope that answers your question!
Hey Andy, what method did you choose for trimming the outer plastic on the vacu-formed tray? I'm trying to figure out the best route for mass production, and, so far, don't have a better idea than to use a roller press. I surely don't have the space for that though
I tried using a utility knife and that worked okay but I ended up switching back to scissors as I felt it gave me a cleaner cut somehow. I think a guillotine shear could work really well for trimming the plastic but that also brings in the added space requirement.
Absolutely! I didn't have a resin printer when I made this video but I have one now and I think it's better suited for the job. Paint adheres easier and there's far less effort required to hide the print lines
If you don't have a printer of your own check if there's any maker spaces around you, I used my local makerspace until I finally decided to get my own printer.
I have a desktop inkjet printer that can print up to 13 inches wide. That was just wide enough for the packaging I designed. Otherwise I would've needed to send the file to a print shop with a wide format printer
3d modeling is probably the term you'll want to search for if you're wanting to learn. There are tons of tutorials on RUclips (some of which I followed to learn myself) There's also quite a few free programs so you don't have to pay to get started. I would take a look at blender and look up blender tutorials on RUclips
If you're trying to print at home but only have a printer like mine or smaller you'd need to get creative and modify a box template so that it can be split into two (or more) prints. You can add tabs to one print that get glued to the other. If you're willing to spend a little money you can send your file to a print shop and get it printed in a large format printer.
Sorry about that! I was sure people were only interested in the packaging design as there's tons of people who do the other steps (and are way more talented) I'll be sure to cover the design parts next time!
Andy, phenomenal job! The end product is very professional (and charming!), as is the documentation of the process. Very nice!
Crafsman! I'm shocked you even stumbled onto my little channel but thanks for making my day! This video editing business is hard work and trying it for myself just makes me appreciate your content even more!

At last a tutorial vid that really can try by most designer and artist in mid cost budget 3D printer not by some other video seen on youtube showing resin 3D printer as a must to do a figurine project
this is why packaging matters!
I didn't think clicking this video and watching it would leave me feeling INSPIRED! Well done and thank you!!!
This is really cool, and insightful, too.
Thanks for the honesty and authenticity! I appreciate hearing and seeing what works and what doesn't.
this is gold thank you
It’s cool to see what goes on during the process of making a collectible. Thanks for this
This is ace Andy! Absolutely love the design and it was great to see the FormBox in action. Can't wait to see your next design.

I remember over head projectors, also nice work. I'm currently exploring different packaging ideas, and this was very helpful.
Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful!
This is rad and what I was looking for! Want to buy one of those pencils now!
So much love put into the process! 💕
So cool! A lot of work goes into this that we don't consider
Hey, great job! Would you have, by any chance a list of materials used?
Aside from the big tools in the description and the 3D Filament here's what else I used:
Acrylic Craft Paint - They weren't even all from the same brand just got the colors I liked from my local hobby store
Rustoleum 2 in 1 Filler & Sandable Primer - I'm sure any sandable primer can get you just as good results but you may need more layers
Sargent Art Acrylic Gloss and Varnish - To coat the finished pieces but I'm sure any other Clear coat gloss will do the trick too.
Posterboard - I trimmed it to 13x19 so it would fit my printer
Transparency sheets for inkjet printers - This is for the window of the packaging, I'm sure there's better alternatives but I already had these on hand since I use those for screen printing.
And the interior packaging was done with the Mayku Clear sheets and their Vacuum former.
Awesome piece of art that I'm ver honored to have! Excellent video explaining the process.
Sooo good, thanks for sharing the whole process, really interesting! I haven't seen anyone vacuum form their own packaging before, very impressive! Subscribed!
Thank you! Getting a vacuum former was actually the thing that kicked off this whole project. Glad you liked it!

Hey, quick question, did you ever find any vinyl toy manufacturer that’s taking small quantities at a reasonable price? they’re all asking me for 800 just for the sample
thank you for this!! ive been wanting to make my own figures and boxes
Can you show us the box art process
I covered a good chunk of the box art process in the follow-up video but I might go further in depth in another video if it would help!
Insanely rad
yellow is a very tricky colour, i find that vallejo's red and yellow is more opaque compared to folk art. But a light / white base before applying these colours helps a bunch.
The yellow was so tricky! I agree, I assumed the primer would suffice but next time I'm definitely laying down a white base before
I love every second of this!
👏😁 That Is Awesome!!! You're a Genius!!!
This was rad, Andy! I’m so glad I get to look at this on my Christmas tree every year. Killer work!
Hey do you have a video explaining in detail how you created the negative for the mold im trying to figure out how to do one for myself
I do have another video where I went into a bit more detail on the packaging, hopefully that one answers some questions on the negative. If not just ask and I'll be happy to try and help!
what material do you use for the 3d printer in this video?
There's two different versions shown in the vid (black and white filament) but both of those were just standard Hatchbox PLA that I bought on amazon
Amazing and cool. Your pencil is cute✏️❤️❤️
This is a great video! I'm at the start of my journey to make an action figure (learning Blender and 3D printing), and this was super helpful to see your process! Thank you for sharing!!

Did you put the poster board through a regular printer? Or do you have a fancy printer? This is awesome!
It's not one of those printers pricing in the thousands if that's what you mean. It's wider format than a standard office printer but it's in the same price range. It's the Epson xp-15000, but any printer that can print 13inches wide will work. Also Inkjet-based is better than toner-based in this case.
These are really cute! You could have added an actual eraser thereby more would be needed to buy.

Hey Andy ! Im from Germany, im really interested to make my own collectible toy, what kind of a printer do you use for the box print ?
Or do you let print in an print shop ?
I used the Epson XP-15000. Depending on how big your toy and box are, you might even be able to use a smaller printer than the one I used.
Awesome! thanks for the reply, I will check it out!
Es un trabajo espectacular!!! muchas felicidades!!!
Muchisimas gracias!
This video earned you a sub you did a great job!! Congrats and God Bless you
Did you print the box artwork directly onto the posterboard or did you print it on regular color printer paper and glue it on?
I printed directly on the posterboard. The glossy side doesn't have the same bite that photo paper has and made the prints smear from the printer rollers... so instead I printed on the matte side and then sprayed a UV coat on it afterwards. I think printing on paper and then gluing it onto posterboard could work but it could tear the paper if you aren't careful.
@@AndyMakes Using the matte side makes perfect sense. Thanks!
Tip: next time use a white primer for when you want your toy to have brighter colors :)
Can u print on the poster board with a regular ink jet printer or is their a special kind of printer that you used
I used a regular inkjet printer but I printed on the matte side and then sprayed a protective varnish over it. With a better printer you might be able to print on the glossy side but I had poor results with my printer
Dude ur an animal!!! So cool. Just one question. Have you ever thought about getting a plotter to make those boxes more efficiently. Plotters can help to cut faster , more precise as well as score your folds. Any ways amazing work!!!!
Oh I would absolutely love a plotter, maybe someday... but the next tool I'm splurging on is a CNC.
What’s he printing with on the poster board???
Looks pro!
Looking professional ❤

Hi, I wanted to ask where you bought your plastic for the vacuum former?
The plastic I used was from the company that made the vacuum former themselves
Do you have a link for the print?

It might not make a profit at the prices you'd expect in a store, but if you're making high quality products and are selling these are more limited-run artistic pieces there's potential for profit. Just don't expect a living off of these selling them at Funko prices.

Почему не распечатать формы из литейного пластика и не отливать в форм ведь так уходит очень много времени
how are the plastic things called inside wich holds them in place? looking to do them in blender but cant find nothing about them.. thx
You might have some luck searching "vacuum forming bucks for packaging"
The buck is the template you use to vacuum form over
How did you print the package?
I have a desktop inkjet printer that can print up to 13 inches wide. That was just wide enough for the packaging I designed. Otherwise I would've needed to send the file to a print shop with a wide format printer
May i ask you something? What is the skill name you used to design the toy ( is it called digital design?) anyway great work keep going 🥰
3d modeling is probably the term you'll want to search for if you're wanting to learn. There are tons of tutorials on RUclips (some of which I followed to learn myself)
There's also quite a few free programs so you don't have to pay to get started. I would take a look at blender and look up blender tutorials on RUclips
@@AndyMakes thanks youu💓✨
What is the name of machine to form plastic inside case, the transparent
The machines are Vacuum Formers but the specific one I am using is the Mayku Formbox. Hope that helps!
How do you make larger boxes?
If you're trying to print at home but only have a printer like mine or smaller you'd need to get creative and modify a box template so that it can be split into two (or more) prints.
You can add tabs to one print that get glued to the other.
If you're willing to spend a little money you can send your file to a print shop and get it printed in a large format printer.
@@AndyMakes ok
Wow
omfgg subbed
Why not print molds from molding plastic and cast into molds, because it takes a lot of time
I think this is a great idea but I was still learning for this video. I want to try mold casting soon

Too bad all the actual design parts of this videos got edited out. That would’ve been fascinating.
Sorry about that! I was sure people were only interested in the packaging design as there's tons of people who do the other steps (and are way more talented)
I'll be sure to cover the design parts next time!
Sad this channel already died
Not a dead channel, I just don't have the time to keep a steady uploading schedule!
