“Collosum”
“Corpus”
How these are made
With a physical first approach to modeling, I draw and hand carve the designs directly on to a wooden Grumpy Goose blank. That’s the reference piece where I use a 3D scanner to scan the stand creating a digital 3D model. I then use various apps and tools like Blender or Nomad Sculpt to make all the necessary adjustments in preparation for printing.
This also allows me to get experimental and completely change things up in geometry or design. The first printed edition Gooses come from just that, experimentation. I took the reference scan from a single 2024 hand carved Goose “Corpus Callosum” which has a left and right split style design. Art Nouveau is on the left, Biomechanical on the right. Digitally, I did brain surgery and split the two apart, and with a little mirror magic and a whole lot of sculpting they make their own unique Gooses that no one has yet.
Once they are all printed out in a few parts, I glue, sand, prime, sand, prime, and hand paint each and everyone myself, trying my best to keep the same level of detail and paint style across all sizes. Finally, they are sprayed down with a sealer at the end for a long lasting finish.
Here, I made a fully accurate and fully detailed flow chart below that definitely doesn’t leave out any crucial steps.
The Printed Editions
But why though? Because ART of course and because I think they’re cool, honestly. I’m making the wood designs anyway, but then they’re gone and out of my hands and I only get to enjoy them for a short time. Now I have them all over my desk, and I love it. In particular I really like the miniatures. Once I had them lined up decoratively in front of some of my gear it started to make sense to me. Having all three sizes definitely feels like a proper set up.
The Future
Don’t panic, the woodys will still be made. Trust me I know how much we all love our Hard Wood. Some of you will only ever want the wood, I get it. Some of you will only every want these 3D printed editions, I get it. Especially if you already have a collection going. There is just something special about a real wood stand to display you favorite headphones.
I also have some good ideas on improving these prints, whether it be through filament choices or just using multiple types of filament. Now, if these prints do well, I’ll be investing in a large format printer, this means not only will two printers be running at once, but the larger size printer means fewer sliced parts and a lot less gluing on these full sized Gooses.
Keychains:
Although these 3D printed editions do not have a cable straps, I’m still including a random 3D printed Goose keychain, these ones will be painted gray as I did not like the look of the bare plastic that I included in the last drop. It’s a nice little upgrade.
Tariffs, and 3D printing:
US folks, there have been some major updates since the last drop. The tariffs were found by your Supreme Court to be illegal! So there are no more tariffs now right? lol, no there totally are, but is it 10% on the whole world? idk, is it 15% on the whole world, maybe…
One good thing with these 3D prints over wood is there shouldn’t be an region stacking tariffs. Previously, I found out that not only would customs (sometimes) charge the full previous Canadian tariff amount of 35%, but also (again only sometimes) stack on top an additional tariff for the county of origin for that specific species of wood, insane. So these 3D prints should in theory only be charged this new 15% max, if they are charged at all, as it is only one single filament material used in it’s creation.
I also don’t have control over how these tariffs are calculated or billed. Please contact your local customs broker for a more accurate, detailed and up to date summary on the official state of the current trade war debacle.
Shipping, same as before, but slightly better.
US folks again, from the last drop I saw Fed-Ex was much faster than the previous drop, but still a little slow. As I had done before I will be personally taking on some of the new increased 2026 shipping costs, otherwise your shipping will remain roughly the same as last drop.
Canada and the rest of the world will still use Canada Post, it’s been ok.
