Spring brings renewal, fresh colour palettes, and new reasons to refresh your collectible displays. At 3DCentral, the spring season means a new rotation of seasonal designs, expanded colour options, and fresh additions to our permanent catalogue. Printed at our facility in Laval, Quebec, the Spring 2026 collection brings pastel colours, garden themes, and new designs that capture the optimism of the season.
Here is a preview of what is new and noteworthy for Spring 2026.
Spring Seasonal Designs
Our seasonal collection rotates every three months, and the spring drop focuses on themes of renewal, nature, and outdoor living.
Garden-Themed Gnomes
New gnome designs for spring include gnomes with watering cans, gnomes surrounded by flowers, and gnomes carrying seed baskets. These designs are available in both PLA for indoor display and PETG for genuine outdoor garden placement where they can weather the spring rains and summer sun. See our PLA vs PETG guide for material selection advice.
Easter and Spring Ducks
The duck collection gains spring variants including pastel-coloured ducks, Easter-themed ducks with bunny ears, and floral-decorated ducks that bring a cheerful warmth to any shelf. These designs make excellent Easter basket alternatives and spring gift options.
Floral and Nature Figurines
New figurine designs incorporate spring themes: butterflies, birds, blooming flowers, and garden creatures. These pieces create seasonal displays that celebrate the transition from winter to spring, a particularly welcome change for Canadian collectors after a long winter.
New Colour Options
Spring 2026 brings expanded colour availability across our catalogue.
Pastel PLA Range
Soft pastel colours, including lavender, mint green, baby blue, blush pink, and pale yellow, are expanding across popular designs. These colours create a gentle, springtime aesthetic that works beautifully in light-filled rooms and pairs well with natural wood shelving.
New Silk Finishes
Spring introduces new silk PLA options including silk lavender, silk mint, and silk peach. These combine the premium metallic sheen of silk PLA with spring-appropriate colours, creating pieces that feel both seasonal and elevated.
New Permanent Catalogue Additions
Beyond seasonal designs, spring 2026 brings new permanent additions to our catalogue that will remain available year-round.
Articulated Animal Additions
New articulated figurine designs from community artists and original 3DCentral creations expand the print-in-place selection. New articulated animal species, updated dragon designs, and innovative joint mechanisms from artists like Flexi Factory and Zou3D join the permanent catalogue.
Fantasy Collection Expansion
The fantasy collection grows with new designs from Arbiter Miniatures and Cinderwing3D, adding more dragon variants, fantasy characters, and mythical creatures.
Spring Display Refresh Ideas
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your collectible display. Here are strategies for a seasonal update.
Swap Winter for Spring
Pack away Christmas gnomes, holiday ducks, and winter-themed pieces. Replace with pastel colours, garden themes, and Easter designs. This seasonal rotation keeps your display feeling fresh and gives each season its own character.
Add Outdoor Displays
As weather warms, expand your collecting into outdoor spaces. PETG gnomes on a patio table, garden-bed figurines, and porch decorations bring colour to outdoor living areas. Choose PETG for any piece that will face weather exposure.
Refresh Your Lighting
If your display uses LED lighting, consider switching to warm white for spring to complement pastel colours and natural wood tones. For display and lighting advice, see our guide on caring for figurines.
Spring Gift-Giving
Spring brings several gift-giving occasions: Easter, Mother’s Day, housewarming season, and teacher appreciation. 3D printed collectibles make distinctive gifts that stand out from conventional options.
Easter Gifts
Easter-themed ducks and pastel teddy bears make charming alternatives to traditional Easter basket fillers. A silk PLA bear in rose gold or a pastel duck set creates a memorable gift.
Mother’s Day Gifts
Garden gnomes for green-thumbed mothers, decorative fox figurines for nature lovers, and paired penguin sets for sentimental appeal all suit the occasion.
