Ring in the New Year, guys. It\u2019s party time! And since we\u2019re wrapping up another successful year, we decided to put together a blog post about most popular 3D Printing and 3D Printed Miniatures<\/strong>\u00a0that dominated this year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not an easy task, we must say. There is too much cool stuff that has been shared during these 365 days. You managed to awe and surprise us every time. It is a true joy to see you enjoy 3D printing and share the result with other people as passionate about the technology as we all are.<\/p>\n

2017 has truly been a successful year for all of us at Gambody. We were thrilled to learn that one of our models entered Gen Con competition and won Silver. You can read more about it here<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s not deviate from the subject too much and dive into the subject matter.<\/p>\n

\"Groot<\/a><\/p>\n

This one has won our hearts a couple of years ago, with the release of the first installment of the Guardians of the Galaxy. But this year, its popularity peaked as the new episode of the movie showed the baby Groot version. As soon as the movie came out, 3D models of Baby Groot started pouring out on the Internet. The ravage version of otherwise cute Groot holds a special place in our hearts as well.<\/p>\n

Ravager Groot 3D printing miniature is broken down into 8 parts to cut down printing materials. It features interchangeable hands and whips and it rests on his own feet without falling over.<\/p>\n

Another version of Baby Groot, featuring the character in sitting position, came soon after the first one.

Hulk<\/a><\/h3>\n

Hulk has recently appeared in the new Avengers series, holding a leading part in the movie. It\u2019s been awhile since the last Hulk movie came out, and it\u2019s truly a pity that although this green-skinned humanoid doesn\u2019t receive the acclaim he deserves.<\/p>\n
