Hello weirdos...
We are Darkmoon 3D
We are Lou and Phil, a husband & wife 3D Printing duo from the North East of England. We started our journey 3 years ago. We got home from Florida and Phil painted some Star Wars figures and Lou convinced him to get a 3d Printer so he could make his own instead.
A spaghetti kitty was born from our first ever print (which failed) Phil was hooked. He learned tons of painting techniques, figured out just how much maintenance an Ender printer requires, and printed everything on the internet.
We started Darkmoon Market! Printing dragons and sublimation drinkware.
We started doing craft fairs around our local area. We learned a lot during this stage of our journey, about licensing and whether we should or should not print things! We decided to concentrate only on 3D printing. Eventually we upgraded our Ender 3, Ender 5 and Kobra to a single Bambu Lab P1S.
The fleet was born!
We ended with 4 Bambu Lab P1S, An A1 Combo and an A1 Mini combo.
the journey continues
Phil decided to leave his career in digital marketing to concentrate solely on the business. Then he didn't like having Lou as his boss so he got a part time job in Cash Converters.
We started doing huge events, comic cons across England, horror festivals, Whitby goth weekend and so on. We soon realised there was little that sets us apart from other 3d printers, so we rebranded a little to Darkmoon 3D!
We concentrated on gothic and occult, with a bit of fantasy thrown in the mix with TTRPG minis.
Fun Facts
Our printers have racked up 3000+ hours each!
Lou now has more 3D printing experience than Phil
But she still won't fix a printer
Our Vision
Our ultimate goal is to design our own products to share with the world, this is a big learning curve for both of us and we're excited to be starting this journey.
