Design Concept

The EmojiFolk-Gardner model is a whimsical creation capturing the iconic expression of emotion found in popular digital emojis. Its exaggerated facial features convey a playful take on how emotions can be visually represented in both digital and physical forms.

This collection is meant to add Emojis to a cartoon body and 3D print the results, still expressing the original emotion of the online Emoji but in physical form of a 3D printed model. Search for 'emojifolk' to see other models in the collection. I will entertain additions if requested.

This collection includes some basic emoji's but also some occupational Emoji's I have found online, like a doctor or accountant.

This collection is good for expressing emotions in a physical 3D model form. Can be a good model to learn painting as well, either in Creality Print's painting tool (or other slicer) or can be painted post-print with paint or permanent makers. Easy for kids to do as well.

Use

This model can serve multiple purposes: a fun desk toy, a unique conversation starter, or a charming collectible for Emoji lovers. It's perfect for adding character to your room or office space. It could also be given to someone to express an emotion as well.

Printing Tips

For optimal results, use a layer height of 0.2mm or better to ensure smooth curves and clear details on the facial features. Optimal size is around 65mm or larger but can be resized to smaller sizes as well. Most 65mm models print in about an hour. PLA filament is recommended.

Consider using ‘Variable Layer Height’ to make the head smooth, if needed. Also, consider using filament colors that provide good contrast, such as bright red for the body and black for the details, to enhance the expression's visibility.

Assembly Instructions

The model is a single piece requiring no assembly post-printing. Be careful when removing support to not damage the model. Models were generated by Meshy.ai on 12/8/2025 or close to that date.
