A 3D printable head made from one photo of a person, as a smooth cartoon likeness with the expression you pick, ready as a bust, a keychain or ornament, a can holder, a planter or a mini figure. Download it as an STL, or as a 3MF with the colours already painted on for a multi-colour printer.
| Template | What it is |
|---|---|
| Bust | The head on a round, square, hexagon or pedestal stand, or on a name plinth with raised letters |
| Keychain and ornament | A small head with a loop or a hidden hole for a key ring or a ribbon |
| Can holder | A head that holds a 330 ml or 12 oz can, with a mug handle or a fun holder |
| Planter | A head with a bowl in the top for a small succulent |
| Mini figure | The head on a little body, plugged onto a peg |
| Setting | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Material | PLA | Holds the fine shapes of a face and paints well |
| Layer height | 0.12 to 0.16 mm | Eyes, lips and curls are only a few millimetres tall |
| Orientation | As it comes: heads standing up | Gaps and open mouths are filled for you; one click fills an overhang under the chin |
| Size | 60 to 100 mm tall for a bust | Below about 50 mm the print check flags parts thinner than a nozzle can print |
| Colour | The painted 3MF in Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer | The page shows which filament goes in which slot |
The photo is sent to our AI partner fal.ai to make the clay picture and the 3D model, and it is never stored. The clay picture and the head stay in My heads under your account until you delete them. Only use photos of yourself or of someone who said yes. The clay picture is made by AI and is marked that way.
The example run is free and works before you sign in. Your first color head is free with a free account (or two grey ones). After that a color head is 32 credits, a grey head 16.
Upload a clear photo looking straight at the camera, pick an expression. The tool first makes a clay version of the face as a picture; when it looks like them, it builds the 3D head from it. Then pick what to make from it (a bust, a keychain, a can holder and more) and download an STL or a painted 3MF.
One sharp photo, the face looking straight at the camera, evenly lit, nothing covering it. Up to three more photos from the side or the back help the hair and the profile. Sunglasses, hands in front of the face and heavy shadows make the likeness worse.
Yes. Pick colour in the wizard and the download is a 3MF with the colours painted on, which Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer open ready for an AMS or any multi-material printer. The page shows which filament goes in which slot, and you can repaint any part with the brush first.
The example run is free and works before you sign in. Your first color head is free with a free account (or two grey ones). After that a color head is 32 credits, a grey head 16, a new clay version of the same photo 2. A build that fails costs nothing, and a head you are not happy with can be redone for free within a day if you have not downloaded it (three times a month).
No. The photo is resized in your browser and sent to our AI partner fal.ai, which makes the clay picture and the 3D model, and it is never written to our storage. The clay picture and the 3D head are kept under your account so you can download them again, until you delete them. Only use photos of yourself or of someone who said yes.
Yes. A laugh or a surprised face used to come out with a deep hole behind the lips that no nozzle reaches. The tool now fills it to a shallow recess, so the teeth and lips keep their shape and nothing prints deeper than a millimetre and a half.
PLA at 0.12 to 0.16 mm layers prints faces best. Print busts and heads standing up. The tool closes narrow gaps in the hair and fills open mouths on its own; the print check shows any overhang under the chin, and one click fills it so it prints without supports.
Yes. Once your head is made, press "Make a mold of it" under the Download button and pick a mold: the contoured silicone mold is recommended for a face. The head opens there already loaded, then you cast it in wax, soap, plaster or resin.
Every head you made. Open one to put it on any template again: no AI, no credits.
The clay picture is done, the 3D head is not built yet. Kept for 14 days: open one to make it 3D.

What works best
More angles? Optional: up to 3 from the side or the back, and the hair and profile come out closer.
Only photos of yourself, or of someone who said yes. A photo of a child needs a parent's OK. Your photo goes to our AI partner (fal.ai) to make the head and is never stored. Delete a head any time in My heads (the × on it). Privacy
