Bringing Brighter Shores Faction Symbols To Life In 3D

Published in Community on December 22nd, 2024

Creating physical representations of the Brighter Shores universe has been a labor of love. Over the past few days, I've designed and perfected 3D-printed symbols for the game's three core factions: Cryoknight, Guardian, and Hammermage. These iconic emblems are now available in three distinct formats to suit various purposes and preferences:

1. Facedown - Perfect for wall art, coasters, or decorative pieces.
2. Protruded - Great as desk ornaments or collectible trinkets.
3. Keychain Designs - Compact and practical for everyday use.

Each design required hours of experimentation and adjustments to achieve the right balance of detail, durability, and aesthetic appeal. From calibrating print settings to selecting materials, the process was both challenging and rewarding.

Inspiration and Collaboration

A big shoutout to my friend /u/printermcgee, whose work has been a huge source of inspiration. Many readers may recognize their name from the hilarious memes or incredible 3D-printed projects posted to Reddit. One of their standout designs, the 3D-printed Mawchest, has been shared numerous times in the Brighter Shores communities and has become a fan favorite.

Sharing the Faction Symbols

For those with access to a 3D printer, I've made the files available on my MakerWorld profile. You can download and print your own versions, choosing the format that resonates most with you.

Cryoknight:

• Facedown: https://makerworld.com/en/models/898277#profileId-856803
• Keychain: https://makerworld.com/en/models/898277#profileId-856808

• Keychain: https://makerworld.com/en/models/895024#profileId-856521

If you don't own a 3D printer, but you'd like to showcase your allegiance to the factions, I've also made keychain sets available for purchase. A three set bundle (one of each faction) is $10, or $13 if you'd like the keychain hardware included.

Looking Ahead

This is just the beginning of my journey into creating 3D models inspired by Brighter Shores. My next project-a wall art piece-is already taking shape, and I'm thrilled with how it's coming along. I'll be sharing updates on this and other designs in the coming weeks as I continue to expand this collection.

Whether you're a fan of Brighter Shores or simply appreciate unique 3D-printed designs, I hope these creations bring a bit of the game's magic into your everyday life.
