Still taking shape in the forge
The hoard keeps growing
See the prints in person, build a charm wand, and adopt something weird.
Fresh from the forge
Every batch changes as new creatures, colors and ideas wander into the workshop.
Follow the kind of print that catches your eye.
Inventory changes often. Colors and exact designs vary—and that is half the fun.
Behind the Forge
Hey, I’m Jared—the hands behind the hoard. I print, assemble, wire, solder, test, and finish these pieces right here in Bellingham.
From a spool of filament to that first glow, there’s a whole lot of tinkering before a little magic leaves the workbench.
The face behind the mischief
Fil is our resident spooligan and Idle Mimic Printing's little troublemaker. He cheers on the good prints, watches over the forge, and seems especially interested when a spool turns into spaghetti.
You'll spot him around the shop in many moods. There is a Fil for the wins, the late nights, and the moments that make us ask, “What the filament?”

What the filament happened here?
Not everything that crawls out of the forge is ready for adoption. Some prints exist only to teach us humility—and make excellent evidence.
Six pufferfish entered the forge. Halfway through the print, every one of them shifted—and not a single fish survived. One was apparently dragged through all nine layers of hell.
Meanwhile, the purge tower finished perfectly, because the printer has a cruel sense of humor.
Four little orcas went in. A tiny, tangled pod came out.
The ray made it off the bed. Its eyes had other plans.
Technically, all the parts are here. That was not the intended assembly order.
The outer curves looked promising. The supports spun their own tangled story.
This little vampire looks like he had a rougher night than his victims.
The blue hippo squad brought some extra filament along for the ride.
Have a strange idea?
Tell us what you have in mind: a favorite creature, a practical problem, a personalized gift or something nobody seems to sell. We’ll talk through size, color, materials and what is realistically printable.
Start a custom requestA sketch, photo or gloriously chaotic description works.
We choose the scale, colors, material and finish together.
The forge gets to work, then we arrange pickup or delivery.
A name with a secret
A mimic waits quietly until it has something to become. Our printers do the same. Give them an idea and the idle machines turn filament into creatures, tools, gifts and a surprising amount of adorable nonsense.
And if you noticed the D&D creature hiding in the acronym, you’re our kind of person.
