DITTO RESIN TRAY

As a passionate Pokemon fan and resin artist, I recently embarked on a fun project to create a Ditto resin tray using 3D printing technology. Ditto, with its simple yet iconic blob shape from the Pokemon community, makes a fantastic subject for resin crafts because its smooth form captures resin's glossy, glass-like finish beautifully. I started by designing the tray in a 3D modeling program, focusing on clean lines and enough depth to hold small items like jewelry or keys. One of the advantages of 3D printing is the ability to customize sizes and shapes easily, so I made sure the tray would be both practical and visually appealing. For the resin, I chose a clear epoxy with a slight tint to mimic Ditto’s lavender color. Adding a few drops of purple resin dye gave the tray a soft, inviting look. I also experimented with mixing in glitter and tiny Pokemon charms to add a whimsical touch inside the resin before curing. The 3D printing process took a few hours, and I used a high-quality resin printer to get the smoothest finish possible. After printing, some sanding and polishing smoothed out any imperfections, allowing the resin to really shine when poured. What I love most about this project is how it combines different crafts – 3D printing and resin art – allowing for endless creativity. Plus, it’s a practical item that any Pokemon fan would enjoy having on their desk or dresser. If you have access to a resin printer and resin supplies, I highly recommend trying your own Pokemon-inspired resin tray. It’s rewarding to see the final product and makes a great personalized gift for fellow enthusiasts! Remember to work in a well-ventilated space and always follow safety instructions for resin handling and 3D printing.
