Super Mario 3D Models: Figures, Pipes and Blocks

«Super Mario 3D Models: Figures, Pipes and Blocks»

The models fall into a few rough groups. Character figures of Mario, Luigi and Bowser are usually solid sculptures, sometimes split into several pieces for multi-color printing. Pipes, question blocks and brick blocks often appear as pencil holders, pots or small shelves, so they mix a game shape with a practical function. Smaller props such as fire flowers, stars, piranha plants and chain chomps sit between the two, and multi-part kits collect several of these shapes into one set.

Before printing, open the author's page and read what is listed there. Check the size and scale of the finished piece, how many parts it has and how they join, and whether the author used supports or printed the model in a particular orientation. The material and settings the author names are a useful starting point, and photos of real prints show how the surfaces, overhangs and color changes turned out in practice.

If the results feel narrow, try other search terms. Character names, item names such as warp pipe, mushroom or question block, and words like figure, holder, keychain or diorama all lead to different sets of models.
