October 23 in your local time. Bethesda puts it plainly on the official Fallout site: "Every October 23, we celebrate Fallout Day, the day Americans went underground into the vaults to survive the apocalypse." It is the one fixed date on the Fallout calendar, which makes it the deadline every wasteland build gets judged against.

Fallout has the friendliest prop shelf in gaming. Its objects are retro-futurist industrial design: thick panels, big rivets, chunky dials and hand-painted labels, all of it built to look scavenged. That is exactly what a home 3D printer does well, because layer lines and weathering read as wear instead of as mistakes. The scene splits neatly in two. On one end sit the flagship builds, a wearable T-60 suit or a Pip-Boy with a screen behind the window, measured in kilograms of filament and weeks of print time. On the other sit bottle caps, fusion cores and mini nukes that finish in an evening and cost pennies. Everything below is fan made and links back to the creator's page.

// MOST-PRINTED PICKS

A handful of standouts from the library. See all 89 in the Fallout Print Library.

// WHAT TO PRINT
// BUILD TIME, HONESTLY
An evening Bottle caps, a holotape, a Vault Boy keychain, a vault door coaster. No supports, one plate, paint optional. Start here if the printer is new.
A weekend A fusion core, a mini nuke, a Nuka-Cola machine art toy, a small Vault Boy in resin. Multi part but forgiving, and every one of them reads instantly as Fallout on a shelf.
A few weeks A Pip-Boy with real electronics, or a power armor helmet finished properly with filler, primer and weathering. This is the sweet spot for a Fallout Day centerpiece.
A whole season A wearable T-60 or X-01 suit. Kilograms of filament, a harness, foam interfacing and lifts to get the silhouette right. Plan it backwards from the date you want to wear it.

// FAQ
Where can I download Fallout STL files for 3D printing?
Fan made Fallout models live on maker platforms like Cults3D, MakerWorld, Printables and Thingiverse. This hub and the Fallout Print Library pull the best of them into one curated directory, and each card links straight to the source page where you download the file. Availability changes because some fan models get removed on request, so treat every link as fan made and subject to takedown.
Which Pip-Boy model should I print?
Match the game you care about. The Pip-Boy 3000 is the Fallout 3 and New Vegas unit, the 3000 Mk IV belongs to Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 uses the 2000 Mk VI with its exposed reel. The Prime Video series wrist unit is commonly called the 3000 Mk V, a name that comes from its official licensed replica rather than from anything said on screen. Display shells are the easy build. If you want a working screen, look for a model hollowed for a Raspberry Pi or a small microcontroller, and check the forearm clearance before you commit to a full size print.
What is the easiest Fallout thing to 3D print?
Nuka-Cola bottle caps. They are flat discs, need no supports, print in minutes, and the recessed logo is designed to take a paint fill or a second filament color. After that, try a fusion core or a holotape. A holotape is a great gift print because a real USB drive fits inside the shell. Save Vault Boy figures for a resin printer, since the face and the thumbs up hand are exactly the details that FDM smears at small scale.
Is it legal to 3D print Fallout props?
Fallout is owned by ZeniMax Media Inc. and its subsidiary Bethesda Softworks LLC, now part of Microsoft. Printing a model for your own personal use is generally tolerated in the maker community as tribute work, but selling unlicensed Fallout prints is very likely infringement. Individual creators also set their own file licenses, and many community models are share alike rather than free for commercial use, so read the terms on each source page. PropBuilds is not affiliated with ZeniMax or Bethesda and makes no licensing guarantees.
When is Fallout Day?
October 23. The official Fallout site describes it as the day "Americans went underground into the vaults to survive the apocalypse," the in universe date of the Great War in 2077. It is also the date Vault 76 opens on Reclamation Day in Fallout 76. Bethesda has used it for community broadcasts in past years, but what happens on any given October 23 is announced by Bethesda closer to the date, so check the official channels. For builders it works best as a self imposed deadline: pick a project, count the weeks back, and have it painted by the 23rd.
Where can I buy ready made Fallout replicas?
Licensed Fallout collectibles are widely sold, from Pip-Boy replicas and power armor helmet statues to Nuka-Cola glass bottles, Mentats tins, lunchboxes and figures. The Physical Props tab collects 106 pieces we have gathered, each linking out to the seller so you can check price and availability yourself.
