Lao Leaf is a small independent design studio from Odessa, Ukraine. I design 3D-printable tools and objects and share the know-how behind them: STL files for silicone mold making, home decor and photo gear, plus step-by-step guides for working with concrete and silicone.
Who is behind the store
I am Lao Leaf, a product designer, engineer, artist, photographer and content creator. I run my own workshop where I combine traditional tools with modern 3D modeling and 3D printing, which lets me bring ideas to life in a wide range of materials: plastic, silicone, concrete, plaster and wax.
A long background in photography and video production helps me document every project properly, so each file comes with clear photos, videos and instructions.
Why I do this
Every design in this store started as a problem in my own workshop: a mold frame that was hard to make by hand, a camera accessory that didn’t exist, a lamp I couldn’t find. Once a design is tested and works well, I prepare it for other makers so you can skip the trial-and-error and get straight to printing and casting.
What you can buy here
- STL files for 3D printing: housing frames for silicone mold making (candle jars, planters, tea lights), photo and video gear (camera cage, quick release, softbox, bokeh filters), lamps and home decor.
- Guides and courses: practical PDF guides, such as the fast-curing concrete mix recipe for mold pouring.
- Custom 3D modeling: I design custom molds and models to order. The price is agreed individually before work starts.
How it works
All products are digital. Nothing is shipped: right after payment you receive an email with a download link, and your files stay available in your account at any time.
Most files are sold with a Personal use license. If you want to sell physical items made from my designs, choose the Lifetime Commercial license option on the product page. Some designs are free to download. Supporting the store directly funds new designs, tests and free files.
