One such instance was brought to the Pokemon community by MrEnygmaWolf, who shared the two new Pokemon cards they had 3D printed with fans on Reddit. The two Pokemon cards are of Gengar and Mew, based upon the actual cards they appear on in standard Pokemon TCG. However, instead of Mew and Gengar being limited to a small image frame and a two-dimensional space, the two Pokemon have emerged from their Pokemon cards, sitting and standing on top of them in a fully realized three-dimensional form. While the cards are currently in grayscale, the fan has plans to paint them, which will complete the look.

Fans React to Cool 3D Pokemon Cards

Those responding to the post have shared praise for the cards, calling them "dope" and "amazing." One fan shared that the cards reminded them of gold Pokemon cards, possibly referring to the Burger King Pokemon promo cards that were plated in real gold and had a raised surface. Some asked the OP whether they would be willing to share the file they used to print the cards, to which they graciously responded with a link to the original design. With it, fans who own a 3D printer should be able to produce these cards for themselves. The listing page even shows other productions of the same cards, printed in different colors and materials.

The nice thing about 3D printing stuff like Pokemon is that fans don't necessarily need to have 3D modeling skills or the dexterity to hand-produce something like a carved Pokemon figure. For those who lack the ability or time to model their own designs, plenty of files are freely shared that can simply be downloaded from the internet and used to print the designs, like in this case. This not only lets anyone create cool Pokemon figures for themselves, but allows the creator of the original design to see their creation flourish and be produced all over the world.
