A small print shop with a paintbrush problem.
Basic Nerdy is a one-person 3D-printing shop in Utah making original designs and fan-inspired crafts, figures, and collectibles. Some pieces ship display-finished. Most ship as clean, primer-ready blanks — because half the fun is painting them yourself.
Buy it blank, paint it your way
The paint-it-yourself angle is the whole idea. A blank is cheaper, more personal, and a better evening than anything that arrives finished. We design pieces specifically to take paint well — smooth surfaces, crisp detail, minimal cleanup — and pair them with tutorials so you're never staring at a figure wondering where to start.
Original and fan-inspired
You'll find original Basic Nerdy designs alongside pieces inspired by the games, shows, and worlds we love. These are fan-made tribute pieces, made by hand on the print bed — not official merchandise.
Where to buy
Every piece you see here is sold through our Etsy shop — this site is the gallery; Etsy handles the checkout, shipping, and buyer protection. The YouTube channel is where the paint and print walkthroughs live.
