3D Printing for Cosplay & Collectibles
Our Services
Custom 3D Printing & Cosplay Builds
I offer fully custom 3D-printed projects, from full armor builds to detailed busts, life-size statues, and non-functional weapons and helmets. Whether you need a raw print or a fully finished and painted piece, I can bring your vision to life.
I also assist with unfinished projects—if you’ve started a build but need help completing it, I’m happy to step in and finish the job.
Turnaround Time & Pricing
- Raw 3D prints can be ready in as little as one week.
- Fully finished pieces, such as painted busts, typically take two weeks or longer, depending on the size and detail.
- Custom orders are quoted individually based on project complexity and materials.
Hi, I’m George
I grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and have always loved building things. My passion for creating started at a young age, though I didn’t get to work alongside my dad until later in life due to his long work hours. My mom, however, always encouraged me, telling me I could do anything I set my mind to.
My journey into cosplay began when I built my first costume for a friend—an Optimus Prime (Gen 1). While he loved it, I knew I could do better, which set me on a path of constant improvement.
How I Got Into 3D Printing
As a lifelong fan of Halo, I was inspired to create my own Master Chief armor. That’s when I discovered 3D printing and became hooked on the process of designing, printing, and perfecting each piece. I love the challenge of preparing armor files before printing and then finishing each part to look as realistic as possible.
Equipment & Materials
At Dream Factory Designs, I use high-quality equipment to ensure precision and durability in every print. My workshop includes:
- 6 CR-10 printers
- 3 Longer LK5 Pro printers
- 4 Creality Ender-3 printers
For molding, I exclusively use Smooth-On silicone products to achieve high-detail, professional-grade results.
Fun Fact: My first attempt at making a mold didn’t go as planned—I accidentally sealed a part inside that had taken four days to print! It was a tough lesson, but every mistake is a step toward mastery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I take my measurements for a custom armor build?
Use a cloth measuring tape and refer to our measurement template to ensure accurate sizing.
How do I take care of my armor?
After each use, clean your armor with mild soap and water, then towel dry.
Can my 3D-printed bust be displayed in direct sunlight?
PLA prints should not be exposed to extreme heat, such as inside a car on a hot day or placed in a window with direct sunlight, as the material can warp over time.
