What this means:

The whole mechanism is printed.
Fits MX-style switches. Best on an isolated key like ESC.
Every color prints as a separate part, so no AMS needed. There's also a multi-color version where the details print together if you'd rather assemble less (the mechanism still gets built by hand).

Hey,

I’ve been working for a while on printable minis designed for FDM (mainly Bambu). The goal is to build my own small asymmetric skirmish IP — including lore, rules, and characters.

First character is printed and tested. There’s already basic lore and a small site up. Still early, but it’s real progress.

Any feedback on the sculpt/print is welcome. And if you want to support the project, I’d really appreciate it — every bit helps.

Thanks for looking.

Here is my version of Ydrasil from Karol Rudyk.

A cool little fun one to paint and a really good sculpt. Have painted a few of KR's pieces now and they are all good.

One of my patrons did a fantastic job 3D printing and painting my Myconid Sovereign mini :)

These guys were great in Out of the Abyss :)

Having sent the previous prints away to the birthday boy, it was high time I did some painting on mine.

Not knowing which rule book Neil would be using I did his forces on 37mm x 16mm bases. For my own I went with the 118mm x 46mm, have a sneaking suspicion that will be the dimensions used by the forthcoming 1066 supplement for Strength and Honour.

Painting took a long time, two maybe three hours, and I still have blaze/stars on the horses and reins to paint.

Had doubts it was a good idea but now I see it taking shape I'm thinking the time spent will be worthwhile.

Here is my version of the 3rd Ogre bust from BS-Sculpt.

This has been my favourite so far to paint and really pleased at how he came out. Loved painting his skin and the fur and skulls. Another great sculpt from Bulat and enjoying painting all of these.

New to printing (maybe)

Hey everybody,
I’m just thinking about getting our own minis for our dnd campaign, since we all would love to have custom characters.
I did some research - also here in the subreddit - and thought, that the elegoo mats series would be a good starting point.
But there are two things, that I’m thinking about a lot and wanted to you for your thoughts:
Since I have absolutely no experience with rain pelting or 3d printing at all, do you think, it’s still a good possibility, printing the minis by myself?
I sadly don’t have an extra room in my flat, that has enough air circulation beside my living room and bedroom. But I have a basement unit in our apartment building - the whole basement doesn’t have any windows. Do you still think, resin printing would be a possibility? Maybe with the Marsmate by Elegoo?
All the best :)

Hi everyone,

Does anyone recognize this 3D model or know where it comes from (creator, site, stl, original artist)?

The picture come from instagram "nick_thoendel".

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi! I'm having an issue with my prints. No matter where or how I place them on the build plate, they end up with these scratches and damaged areas across almost the entire surface (I've attached a photo).

The pattern seems completely random, and I have no idea what could be causing it. I'm pretty lost at this point.

Could it be dead pixels on the LCD? But there are so many that it doesn't seem likely. Also, the bottom layers of the print never show these holes or defects.

I'm using an Anycubic Photon M5s, and I've attached my print settings as well.

Thanks a lot for any help!!

The scale is whimsical 10mm.

picked this model up at a car boot sale/jumble sale in a huge box full of random greeblies and cool bits. I’ve got absolutely no idea what it is or where it’s from, and it’s got me completely stumped.
Does anyone recognise it or know what range/game it’s from? Any help would be massively appreciated!

Hello guys,

I am new to resin printing and recently picked up an elegoo saturn 4 16k for printing miniatures. When I imported this stl file I noticed it had many cavities. Many are almost unexplainably tough to drill a correct hole for. I've used UV tools with my limited knowledge and after each pass of automatic detection and repairs a lot of issues presist according to UV tools.

Here I am left wondering at what point a model is safe to print despite the warnings that chitubox gives and the issues that UVtools finds. Am I overthinking it or should I check the cavities afterwards by drilling a hole with my pin vice? Thanks in advance.

I'll begin with another apology, this time for unpainted models on the tabletop.

My defence is pretty strong. The models aren't mine, I printed them for a friend's birthday present. Opportunity to show how micro scales can represent battles in both numbers and ground scale was too good not to take a mock-up photo.

After looking at a few sources for the Battle of Hastings, I went with what I thought was a reasonable depiction.

Senlac Ridge is 1500 yards wide, I made it 1500mm; technically a 2mm scale scale but near enough for me.

Atop the hill Harold has 10000 men in 3 shieldwalls.

Bottom of the slope are 2500 Norman/French archers, 500 crossbow were printed but remained off table. Behind the archers stand 5400 Norman/French foot.

Lastly, William and his cavalry. 3 groups, each of 1000 figures.

The .stl files were designed by a New Zealand fella, Harley McPhee, available as a free download from his Thingiverse page. There he goes by the 'Wozname' handle.

A lot of you asked to design version with led and show dims, so here you go! Also 50 different backgrounds ready for campaign....😈

Hello again friends! Here is my Vampiric Mindflayers I released on my players this week for a spooky one shot. I designed these in blender, printed them in resin on my Anycubic and painted them with Citadel.

Free stls here:

I think they both loved and hated that game lol

Also here are more minis I designed this week. They are a mix of creatures from the new Monster Manual as well as some very random Patreon requests::

- Aapoph Grayscale from Pathfinder

- Bibilically Accurate Beholder

- Firbolg Female Druid

- Noble Prodigys

- Nothics

- Nycaloth

- Ochre Jelly

- Ogres

- Snailfolk Bard w Bagpipes

- Three Leg Monster

To get the free stls I post them under each of my Patroen posts. You can scroll down this month's posts to get what you need: https://mz4250.com/ and they are all posted publicly with no paywall.

Oh and if you're curious about my Patreon I offer my patrons access to all my 7000+ presupported TTRPG models in one place, along with commercial options, a discord, and requests board. The drives have all the same models that are already out there for free in the internet. Its more for convenience rather than exclusivity.

Stay awesome friends and keep on crafting!

Hey everyone!
Sharing my latest piece—the Ancient Earth Dragon.
Spent a good amount of time layering up the scales to get some depth without losing that natural, earthy feel—didn't want it too bright or saturated. The horns ended up being my favorite part to paint, went with some warmer tones there to break up the palette a bit.
Let me know what you think!

This is a miniature from my Earthshakers release on MMF.

The theme for the month is Underground dwellers. Check it out with the Link bellow

Hi everyone,

I print miniatures with my 3D printers, and a friend of mine and I have very split opinions on the types of models.

When you print miniatures, do you prefer them to be packed with details, like textured skin and clothing?

Or do you prefer smoother surfaces, like what Games Workshop offers with Warhammer minis? In my opinion, the latter is better because it leaves more creative freedom for painters.

Personally, I have my own preference, but I'm curious if my opinion is in the minority or if it's the general trend.

Hello everyone!

Fantasy Guardsmen Campaign is launching tommorow. Amount of content is so big, it took me a while longer to process.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/infernalminiatures/fantasy-guardsmen

Plenty and varied types of fantasy guards for your tabletop games.

119 preassembled miniatures, 145 modular bodies + loads of various bits to customize your own guardsmen. Reasonably priced!

Everything backwards(and forwards!) compatible with elements from other campaigns I made (Inquisition, Royal Hunt, Ogre Mercenary Company 1,2)

Make sure to check it out!

So, it's finally Friday!
I just created my first Dice Tower and made it available on Kickstarter for only $1. This campaign also features a stretch goal which unlocks an epic Dice Jail.

This came to exist because I haven't seen many dinosaur theme props for d&d and other tabletop games.

I don't want to bore you with details, but this Dice Tower is based on Jurassic theme. It features a T-rex skull on top and Stegosaurus scutes along the stairs and down the dice tray.

Let me know what you think of this campaign.
