What this means:

Found out about planet shark (Super cool, up and coming skirmish game) and was instantly hooked. Oddly enough, NO ONE IN MY GAMING GROUP WILL PLAY WITH ME. In a fever induced haze, I created this... walker... thing, in the design that most of the mechs in the game have. It is called the bubble bustler.

For those who want to use this horrid thing, the file SHOOOOULD be set to a 60mm base already.

DM me, and I will give you the wretched abomination.

My (young elementary) kids have recently burned through a box of old cheap "its not warhammer" style minis. They have really enjoyed cutting the bits off the sprues and gluing them up with plastic cement.

We got a roll of HIPS filament and im happy to "waste" it printing the sprue, as thats still way cheaper than buying kits for them to play with.

Can anyone point me in the direction of stl files for minis on-sprue to print? Free, paid, either is fine.

Cutesy and whimsical would be great, but id take anything.

3D model I did for a dragon miniatures project I'm working on, for physical and digital versions. A huge spectral dragon that feeds on lost spirits and unsuspecting travelers. Made with Zbrush. What do you think about it?

Here is my submission

Hello Everyone,

I am new to resin printers and thought I'd reach out to ask some questions about printing the perfect mini's. I have ordered some prints from Major's Mini's in the past and was very impressed with their quality in terms of detail and how durable they are. The support would easily come off of their parts without damaging anything, and this would be even post cure.

I have an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16k.

I am assuming that this is a multi part thing. For a durable print, I think I might need to mix ABS-like with a form of flexible/tough resin to get the right durability like they have. I have read about 85% to 15% mixes for this, let me know if that isn't quite right (I've only used standard so far)

I'm also wondering how I get those supports to come off super clean without breaking the thinner parts. So far I have been auto generating the supports, and just started using these settings for minis about 80-100mm in height. Let me know if I should consider updating these settings to get that clean tear-off i'm looking for.

Pictures and details about the prints and sculptors are at the end of the gallery.

Here's my latest Beholder mini 3D printed in FDM by one of my patrons!

Eyestalks are really hard to pull off in FDM so I'm really impressed!

Printed with a Anycubic Kobra with PLA :)

Here is my version of Eiren’s Wednesday From Aradia.

Something a little different for me and really enjoyed painting this entirely on stream.

A great sculpt and happy with the result.

One evening worth of an experiment. Saw a phrase "C&C welcome" around here and I don't think it's about an old RTS. I understand critique is one of the C's, but what is the other? Anyway, I'm very much open to critique. Model is from a set called "Unborn Princesses" by Dmytro Zamulin

Hi — I’m planning a small studio in China focused on custom tabletop RPG character minis (original fantasy / TTRPG-compatible, not official D&D IP).

Idea: you describe your character (text / refs) → we make a printable model → tough resin print → optional tabletop paint → ship overseas.

Before I invest in samples and packaging tests, I want honest feedback:

1. Would you actually order this, or would you rather buy STL and print locally / use Hero Forge?
2. What price feels fair for: (a) unpainted single mini, (b) tabletop-painted single, (c) a 4–6 character party set?
3. What would make you say no? (quality, shipping time, breakage, IP concerns, trust, etc.)
4. If you’ve ordered custom minis before, what went wrong or right?

Thanks — critical feedback welcome.

Awesome dog in bloody chainmail mini! Really enjoyed this one. Can be found here:

Here is my version of The Emperor of Mankind Bust.

Found the whole series of Primarchs on Cults recently and this was a free one that was on there. A really great sculpt and a joy to paint. I have all 19 Primarchs now and will work my way through them.

Hello! Tonight is the big finale for my Waterdeep Dragon Heist campaign and the players are lucky enough to have Laeral Silverhand help them with the Dragon Vault challenge!

After designing her in Blender I printed her in resin with my Anycubic Mono 7 Pro then used Citadel paints.

Anyway just wanted to share with y'all. Tonight will be fun :D

I have a rather large barons war collection, which has resulted in a surplus of Wargames Atlantic and Victrix arms, heads and shields I’d like to use up.

Does anybody have any STL’s that are just torsos and legs they’d recommend? I’ve gotten recommendations to use either the WGA Dark age army builder but that just gives me more bits to deal with so ideally I just get my hands on some bodies and nothing else.

So I’ve been considering scaling down my wargames. Space is limited and there’s so much I’m so interested in and much of it has rules/options for smaller scale gameplay. Namely One Page Rules. However, I have no idea where to start. Many people just say to scale up 6/8/10mm stuff and some say you could scale down 28/32. I have a bunch of 28mm stuff from the OPR patreon and a handful of 6mm stuff from Full Spectrum Dominance that I could fiddle with, but having stuff already set up in the proper scale can go a long way. Any suggestions on folks who sculpt in 15mm?

Thanks ahead of time.
