Well I HAD to do it.... they're just so cute 😊 thought I'd take this chance to introduce Ben and I, owners of NMIP!

Ben is a 3D sorcerer, designing everything from scratch and turning it into real life with the magic of 3D printing! He also loves being outdoors playing with the dogs, gardening, kayaking, and taking pictures with his fancy camera. He loves RC trucking in his Scout, crawling over rocks and hills everywhere he can. He's also a plant wizard, a big fan of Lord of the Rings, and other awesome fantasy and sci-fi entertainment.

I also dabble in design for 3D printing but lean more into 2D graphic design and paper crafting. I pushed Ben to open our Etsy shop (yaaayy) and do product photography and manage the social media part and SEO! I'm also a kichen magician, cooking up breakfast and dinner on the daily. I love taking care of my many many houseplants, being outdoors with the dogs, gardening, kayaking, and playing disc golf. I'm a huge fan of horror movies and books. A couple of my favorite movies are The Thing (1982), Scream, and the Friday the 13th movies. I'm also a huge Stephen King fan, my fav book by him is Pet Sematary.

I also think it's safe to say we are both adults who love to play with dolls, but I'm sure you knew that already 🤣

At NMIplastics we print miniatures, other household items, and do custom stuff (all designed by Ben, and sometimes me). Ben also 3D prints parts for a company that manufactures boat/yacht windows!

If you want to hear more about us, how NMIP started, projects we have done, etc. visit our About Us section on our website and check out our blog!

Feel free to drop something about yourself in the comments!! Maybe we can connect through our many passions of life 😊 by @nmiplastics

Do you have a folding table like this in real size? You know that moment when you open a package and it’s even better than you expected? That was me with these miniature folding tables from @nmiplastics — and then I saw the tiny solo cups and my heart just melted. 🥹
A merry heart does good like medicine! 💊❤️

Ok let's play a game.... what are we printing on our gigantic new printer?!?! 🤔 will reveal the answer later today!!! Hint: it's not a miniature object, but rather a small object made larger

Guess correctly and I'll send you a coupon code for 15% off at our Etsy shop!!!! 🤯

You probably don't know this, but Ben and I met in a greenhouse ❤️ Now our love has been growing strong for almost 9 years. So this item is very close to our hearts. Plant pots, seed starting trays, and seed packets now on our Etsy 🌱🌼🌸🪴

I can't wait to make miniature plants to go in these pots!! I've always wanted mini plants for my dolls. I have tons of house plants so it only makes sense 😆 I'll be sharing some good tutorials I've found recently on our story.

Much love,
Gabby
