Bobble Studio offers a way to turn a portrait into a 3D-printable pencil-topper head, with STL and 3MF files for home printing.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-09 issue.

For: People with a home 3D printer and a favorite pencil
Worth noticing: One generation includes one concept and one 3D head; repeat pencil-fit exports are included.

Field notes

The page describes a four-step sequence from portrait upload through concept review and 3D sculpt inspection to size/socket adjustment and file download. It says pencil-topper heads are being tested in PLA on FDM printers; prints may need supports and a fit check, and color previews do not produce color STL files. The listed $4.99 generation covers one concept and one head, while repeat pencil-fit exports are included.
