I operate 3D printers at work but also have a couple of my own. A friend has asked for some pony stuff for his kid, who's obsessed with the show but I'm not enough of a fan or a little girl to know what kind of stuff she'd want.
Any ideas? All I know is that she 'likes the unicorns' and he can't probe too much because it's supposed to be a surprise. Since I can only print in two colours maximum, I was thinking of printing undecorated characters for her to paint.

There's a lot of them. See if your friend can probe for specific names.

Sunset Shimmer has a pretty basic two tone color scheme, just use orange and red and have the little girl paint in the bacon hair

don't you need 3d digital models to print anything? I'm sure there are some online somewhere if you look

We share the same monarch and political system. Hell, we're pretty damn close to still being your colony.

You'll also need to paint in the green eyes.

Thanks as well.

Thanks to bronies, there are plenty of pony models available, which is fortunate because I'm an engineer, not an artist.
How discerning is a 5 year old likely to be about exact colours? Translating from animation palettes to a physical object is a bit of a crapshoot. For example, Rarity seems to have purple hair but the closest choices from my supplier is either violet or midnight blue. Also, Twilight seems to have wings in some models and not wings in others (I read that she changed during the show), which version would a 5 year old consider 'correct'? I will try to get him to ask the question but it would be nice to have a head start.

Don't sweat it always remember that not even Hasbro cares what little guess think.
And yeah try to get your friend to talk to her daughter about her favorite pony, it'll mean that much more to her.

Thanks again. I'll do that.

As much as it pains me, she'd probably considerwinged Twilight to be "correct"
