BYOPuppet is a project that aims to:

Provide artists a library of 3D printable files, assembly instructions, and more that can be applied and modified towards, but not limited to, puppet construction.
Offer a place where artists can upload and share modified files created from the original designs created by Laurie Berenhaus. Such modifications may include updates that:
- allow designs to be printed in a different material or printing process, from the original
- personalize designs to accomodate specific characters, aesthetics, movement, etc required for a given production or even simply personal experimentation
