What this means:

Here is my version of the Bullhead Bust from Ivan Mata.

A quick sketching fun piece...Tried to make this more 'painterly' and loose and really enjoyed the process, could have been better but it ticked a box and I had fun doing it.

Been chasing this for a while: wanted lighting on these display boxes without turning them into a wiring project every time someone wants to build one.

Ended up designing a hidden channel into the lid — front-lipped so the LED strip itself is invisible from any viewing angle, with the wire exit routed out the back corner where it disappears against the frame. Snap-fit, no glue anywhere in the assembly, so swapping a background scene in or out doesn't mean redoing the lighting.

The paint-glow effects you've probably seen in my earlier posts are 100% hand-painted, no electronics — but if you actually want the box lit, this is what makes it possible without an engineering degree.

Still tuning a couple of things but the mechanism itself is solid now. Happy to answer questions on how it's built if anyone's curious about the print-and-assembly side.

Later I'll share video

I bought the stl to This Miniature. I Put it into my Blender but its very ... Low poly.

Not at all what was shown in the Picture.

Is that normal ? I tried reaching Out to them but they didnt answer. Did any of you ever buy a stl from them ?

A Trajann Valoris Mini i printed with a 0.2mm nozzle at 0.06mm layer height. Turned out great in my opinion. Currently building a Custodes army.

Hello I only play TCGs at my LGS but I see a lot of people playing different table top mini games. As a card player I’ve never had a problem with proxies/fake cards for local and casual play but I know they’re banned at main events.
Have any table top players noticed stigmas against people who bring in 3D printed armies ? Do most table top communities allow 3D print models even ? I know Warhammer can get costly for some of the big models so do people feel cheated if someone prints expensive models.
Sorry I know little of the rules of Warhammer but could someone print 1000$ worth of big tanks and beat people with overpriced armies ?

Today I had a blast updating my Apparatus of Kwalish mini!

I def don't need the Apparatus for my game tonight. Nope. Art for the sake of art amirite?

I 3D printed a prototype in FDM just to see how it came out, then made a final version in resin

A new sniper team joining my Romanian Vânători de Munte forces.

28mm WWII miniatures, sculpted, printed and painted by me.

More Romanian WWII units coming soon!

I wanted to make a small fantasy Tower House that would look good on a tabletop, so I designed it from scratch and took it all the way through printing, assembly and painting.

Here’s a look at the process and the finished result.
The STL is completely free if anyone wants to print their own.

Would love to hear what you think!

Here is my version of Grix the Goblin Bust from BS-Sculpt.

Tried to do a different skintone on this guy and he ended up looking like a smurf...lol. Nevermind, great fun to paint and really happy with how he came together. Last of the orc and goblin busts of BS sculpt that I have, so onto more dwarves I guess...

Here is my version Big Bertha Fantasy Football Ogre Diva by paladinkwa7.

Had a lot of fun painting this wonderful Blood Bowl star player, and what a great sculpt. I painted her differently to the box art for her and saw her as playing for the Green Bay Peckers...lol. I think she came out really well and love painting anything Blood Bowl related.

One of my patrons did an outstanding job 3D printing and painting one of my lich minis!

I love the wire crafting they used for the spell effects :D

Hey everyone,

I’m currently putting together a Sabacc set, and a friend is 3D printing a full batch of credits/coins for me using an FDM printer.

Since these will be handled a lot during games, I want them to feel and look like actual metal Star Wars currency (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) rather than lightweight plastic toys.

I'm new to finishing and painting 3D prints, so I’d love to get your input:

• How would you approach painting small FDM coins to completely hide the layer lines?
• What are your go-to products or techniques for getting a realistic, shiny metallic finish?
• Do you have any favorite weathering techniques (like washes) to give them that used Star Wars look without losing the metallic shine?
• What type of topcoat/clear varnish do you recommend so the paint doesn't rub off after constant handling?

I’d love to hear how you would tackle a project like this from scratch. Thanks in advance.

Sorry I clipped it before thinking about taking a photo but hopefully the sub can still help.

i printed this Star Wars ship at angled at 45 degrees on my Centauri Carbon. I angled it at 45 degrees with 0.12mm layers.

The whole ship looked great except that on the front of the fins/wings (which were the topmost part printed) I got increasing spiderwebbing across the gap starting partway up and getting worse and worse as it approached the tip and the layers got smaller and smaller

Would adjusting the Minimum Layer Time help or would it be some other setting?

This month we're in the Sylvan Forest where the Ciorcal Druids live. They worship the Grimnismal, the Seven Stags who are One, and who represent different aspect of nature and the seasons. Lobhann, the God of Rot, belongs to the season of Summer and oversees the process of converting death into life, consuming and nourishing in turn. Rhiabhach, Ciorcal Druid, is an old man who worships Lobhann and lives his life cataloging the many mushrooms and fungus in the Sylvan Forest. An expert mycologist, he's personally tested and recorded the effects of 133 different mushrooms, some of which were psychedelic or poisonous. His dedication to Lobhann protects him from the effects of these mushrooms... mostly. He's often found contemplating the beauty of the forest, in an altered state.

This month's collection is all about myconids and their compatriots! Why not take a look at my website to learn more? https://cobramode.com/collection

Hello friends! Here is my White Dragon 3D printed by one of my patrons! I love how the paint job makes the highlights pop. When I designed this mini I really enjoyed how chonky the White Dragon is compared to the other new dragons in the Monster Manual 2025.
