Top Trending Searches
One thing I always find interesting is looking at what people are searching for on MakerWorld. It gives a good idea of what types of models people are currently interested in printing.
Fidgets continue to stay near the very top and have been one of the most popular searches for quite a while now. Here are some of the current top searches:
Trending Community Make
One of the trending community makes this week is the Textured Twisty Dragon Egg Fidget.
This model combines several popular categories all into one print. It has a dragon theme, a dragon egg design, and it functions as a fidget as well. It is easy to see why this model has been getting so much attention recently.
The texture on the egg gives it a really nice appearance, and the dragon inside makes it even more fun. Models like this show how creative the MakerWorld community can be.

Future Model Plans
I am still working on my AMS-compatible Trail Signs. I have been continuing to experiment with different ideas and designs, and I hope to have more of them available in the future.
The Phone Holder project is still alive as well! I'm still trying to come up with a design that I really like before releasing anything.
As always, I have a few other ideas floating around that may eventually become models. Sometimes the best projects start as random ideas and slowly develop into something bigger.
Community Thoughts
One thing I've really enjoyed recently is seeing all the creativity coming from the Great Benchy Nations.
For anyone who hasn't seen it, creators have been making their own nations, flags, lore, alliances, and stories based around Benchies. It's amazing how a simple 3D printed boat has turned into such a creative community project.
What I like most about it is that there really aren't many rules. People can create their own countries, tell their own stories, and build their own ideas. It shows how creative the MakerWorld community can be when people work together on something fun.
I also continue to be amazed by how quickly the top trending searches change. One week everyone is focused on one thing, and the next week something completely different is trending.
That's one of my favorite things about MakerWorld. There is always something new happening, new ideas being shared, and new creators joining the community. It makes every week interesting to see what people come up with next.
I'd Like To Hear From You
Yes! I would like to hear from you. Comment your mdoel ideas, article ideas and more! Be creative. I will be open to new ideas and consider all of them!
Closing Thoughts
