PRINTING SERVICE Creatures and characters · 28 TO 75MM

Fab / Sketchfab printing service

A creature modelled for the screen. A character built for a game engine, good sculpts both, and so far they exist only where the light is fake.

STEP ONE — GET THE FILES

The artist sells the model themselves, so buy your copy from them and download it. Upload that file here, pick a height, and we make it solid.

Loading the studio

PRICE: Worked out from the size you choose, and shown in full with its breakdown before anything reaches your basket.
FINISH: High detail grey resin, washed and cured. Ready to prime and paint.
YOUR FILE: Stored securely and used only to make your print. Never sold, shared, or added to anything we sell.

Screen sculpts, made solid

Sketchfab, now part of Fab, is a marketplace of models built for screens and games. Creatures modelled to be lit and rendered, game resolution characters, scanned figures with a gap here and there, and detail that often lives in a texture rather than in the shape itself. A Sketchfab file was rarely drawn with a printer in mind.

Plenty of them print beautifully all the same. Upload one and the price shows the instant the file is up, with nothing to fill in and no minimum order to reach. We print in our own UK studio in high detail grey resin and it comes to you cleaned and ready to paint. Resin gives the sculpt an edge and a shadow of its own.

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 Fab / Sketchfab printing service files. They do, on the their own storefront. Pick what you want there, then bring it back here and we will print it.

How to get Fab / Sketchfab printing service files to print

Buy the model from the artist on the marketplace and download it to your own computer. Upload it here and we print it, one creature or two or three of them in the same order.

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.
