A small side project I started just for fun, expecting absolutely nothing, quickly turned into a cozy small business. Since then, I have sold thousands of Pepes, all designed, prototyped and produced in my home studio.
Years earlier, I designed 3D Pepe emotes for a client. I decided to give a large discount on the condition that I keep the rights to sell the Pepe models online. Those Pepe emotes were used as the base for my 3D prints.
As my 3D printed Pepes grew popular online, knockoff versions of my products appeared. However, they struggled to match my 3D models or print quality. Even with my investment into high quality printers and printing materials, I still put considerable effort into prototyping each product before release, to achieve flawless results.
As of 2026, my 3D Pepe side-hustle is in partial hibernation due to moving countries.
