I open-sourced a cute STL face base for kigurumi head making

Hi everyone, Remi here.

I’ve been making kigurumi heads for a while, and I wanted to share one of our TYPE-M face bases as a free STL for the community.

This is a cute anime-style face model for 3D printing, painting, face-up practice, and customization. It is not meant as an ad — more like a small reference file for makers who want to study, print, modify, or experiment with kigurumi head making.

I was pushing boxes at the Xiaohongshu hackathon.

Hi everyone, I’m Remi.

I work on anime-style kigurumi masks and character heads. Recently I’ve received many questions about the technical side of this niche, so I thought an AMA might be useful.

This is not meant to be an advertisement. I’m here to share what I’ve learned from making physical character heads, and to answer questions from people who are interested in the design and manufacturing process.

Topics I’m happy to discuss:

  • 3D modeling
  • mask structure
  • fitting and comfort
  • printing and finishing
  • customization workflow
  • translating 2D character references into 3D forms
  • common production mistakes
  • shipping and support challenges for overseas customers

We are based in East Asia, so international shipping and support timelines can sometimes be a real challenge. We are working on improving that.

I also plan to share some 3D model resources with the community and would appreciate technical feedback when they are ready.

Ask me anything about the process.

Xiaohongshu creates a display board for each contestant, and my poster is very large (because it will be very eye-catching).

I'm trying to form a team display

Hhh, I'll just do it myself.
