DESIGNER Sci-fi vehicles · 28 TO 75MM

ACE Minis Printing Service

Turrets that swap, weapon options to choose between, armoured hulls on a shared chassis. At thumbnail size a whole armoured company of ACE vehicles fits in one hand.

STEP ONE — GET THE FILES

ACE Minis sells the vehicle files themselves. Pick up the hulls, turrets and weapons you want from them first, then bring the files back here to be printed.

Their sculpts, our printers

ACE Minis draws sci-fi armour in parts. A turret lifts off and another goes on, the weapons swap, and the same chassis carries a different hull. Whole armoured companies are drawn small enough that a dozen vehicles sit in one hand, which is how a tank company gets built without taking over the room.

Printed here, an ACE Minis file arrives as high detail grey resin, cleaned and ready to paint, made in our own UK studio and posted to you. Upload the hull, the turret and the guns together and the price for the lot is on screen straight away.

Over 35,000 customers rate our high quality resin 5 stars.
RULE OF THUMB
Sizes run from 28mm to 75mm, measured foot to eye, so your miniature matches the collection it is joining. You can type an exact height instead.
WHERE THE FILES LIVE
We do not sell ACE Minis files. They do, on the 2 channels listed above. Pick what you want there, then bring it back here and we will print it.

How to get ACE Minis files to print

The files are ACE Minis' own. Get the vehicles and the spare parts you want from them, through a membership or bought one at a time, then upload the files here to print.

What we need from the file

One miniature per STL, exactly as it came out of the download. Send the plain model rather than a pre-prepared or sliced version, because those confuse the sizing, and we do that part here.

No bases. We print the miniature, not the base it stands on, so leave those out of what you send. If a model comes in parts, upload each part separately and we will print them together.

Questions

Can you print my STL file?

Yes. Upload it above, size it foot to eye, and the tool prices the job on the spot. You need to own the model or have the right to have it printed, and one of our team checks every file before it goes on a printer.

How much does it cost?

The price appears the moment your file uploads, worked out from the size you choose, and it is the whole price with nothing to add afterwards. There is no minimum order, so one model is a perfectly normal order.

What size can I have it printed at?

28mm, 32mm, 35mm, 55mm or 75mm measured foot to eye, or type an exact height instead. 75mm is the largest we print.

Do you print bases?

No. We print the miniature itself, so leave bases out of what you send. If a model comes in parts, upload each part separately and we will print them together.

When will I receive my order?

We dispatch five days a week and print on demand. Our average dispatch time is four days, and a very large order has taken as long as twenty. You can contact us at any time to check on your order, and we can usually part-dispatch a UK order that is taking longer than usual.

What are the miniatures made from, and do I need to wash them?

Light-reactive resin, and no. Every miniature is dispatched washed and cured, so it arrives clean and ready to prime and paint.

What does postage cost?

UK standard postage is £3.95, or free over £50. Large or fragile parcels are £5.50, or free over £50. International parcels are $26 to the USA, free over $115, and $18 to Canada, free over $150.

What if a thin sword or barrel arrives bent?

Our resin flexes rather than snaps, which protects it in the post, so a slim part can arrive slightly bent. Dip it in lukewarm water for a second, hold it straight as it cools, and the new position locks in. Repeat if it needs it, and ask us if you would rather we advised first.

What if my file will not print?

Every custom print is made to order from your file, and we cannot know whether a model will print until we try. If yours cannot, we refund the miniature fee in full. The setup fee covers preparation already done and is not refundable, and a made to order print is exempt from change of mind returns.
