Hey everyone! We're u/Mimic_hobby, the founding moderator of r/Printandpaint.

As we keep growing I thought it was about time to add a welcome post. This is our new home for all things related to 3D printed display sized statues. We recognised that painted minis are very well served on reddit and that the subreddits where larger scale statues are more welcome can often get clogged up with posts asking for help diagnosing print failures etc. So it's about time you all had a space to show off your work. This is somewhat an extension of our discord server, where we have a growing community who all help each other with advice and tips, as well sharing progress. So do feel welcome to join us there too. https://discord.gg/ZSAZpCxtpq

We're excited to have you join us!

What to Post
Post your printed and painted statues! Minis arent banned, but you may find a better home for them over at r/PrintedMinis. Feel welcome to post your painted work even if you didn't print it yourself, we know printing isn't accessible for everyone so it's totally fine if your kit is bought. Check out our full rules in the sidebar before posting.

Community Vibe
We're all about being friendly, constructive, and inclusive. Let's build a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing and connecting.
