Like many stories these days, great things can sometimes grow from tragedy and heartache. In 2015, our middle son, David, was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma in his pelvis at the age of 21. It was a fast-growing, aggressive cancer that claimed his life in 2017. David had quick humor and a “pull no punches” personality. He loved technology and figuring out how things work. His escapades were reminiscent of a mad scientist. One time I found him in the garage with my crockpot doing an electrolysis experiment. He was the first to get a 3D printer and tinkered with it continually.

Over these past few years, our whole family has gravitated toward 3D modeling, designs, and printing because I think it makes us all feel closer to David. We have a large family with six kids, that are all grown now, many with kids of their own, but we all take part in our Creature Cove 3D family business. It’s been really fun working together, learning and creating new things!

We started by putting our mini fidget creatures in just a few locations, which then quickly caught the attention of distributors, and suddenly it exploded into this large operation. We love the creativity of new creature designs each month and producing thousands of color combinations with each 3D print, making them highly collectible! It’s been an amazing adventure! We’re always looking for new creature ideas. Thank you for your interest in our business!
