If the garage lights have seemed a little brighter lately, it’s because GarageCraft3d has been wide awake — burning the midnight oil and pushing boundaries from concept to craft.
The past few weeks have been a blur of AI model tuning, late-night print queues, color profiling experiments, and website development. The goal? Finalize our custom tap handle prompt engine, an in-house system that lets creativity flow straight from idea to printable design. It’s nearly there, and the early results are showing real promise.
But while the code and models have been working overtime, the shop itself just hit a huge milestone:
🚨 We completed and hand-delivered our very first commissioned batch of tap handles — a full production run for StudyBreak Hard Seltzer’s: Blast of Baja.
This wasn’t just a box-on-the-porch kind of drop. It was a literal handoff — me, handing over the taps, in the garage right to the hands of Sean @ StudyBreak. Seeing his reaction as he held the final product made every layer, every late night, and every filament change worth it.
The Blast of Baja handles feature:
- Layered textures and bold color blocking
- Character-driven design (with shades, of course)
- A in-house methodology for near perfect precision in multi-color 3D printing
They don’t just pour a drink — they invite one.
Also in the batch: experimental and branded runs for 33 Taps, GameCraft Brewing for their Generic, PSI Blast and Power-Up! All created using the same rapid iteration system we’re now refining with AI support.
And the next chapter? A new custom line is in the works for a local San Clemente brewery, with designs currently being finalized.
This delivery marks the first of many — but it won’t be the last time something leaves the garage by hand.
More coming soon. The craft keeps evolving.
Stay tapped in.
