PRINTING SERVICE Fantasy · 28 TO 75MM

Unsupported STL printing service

The file is the raw sculpt, exactly as the designer left it. A cloak, an outstretched arm, a spear with a banner at the top, and parts that simply begin in mid air.

STEP ONE — GET THE FILES

Designers sell the bare sculpt, and that is the version to buy. Get it from them and send it over as it is, with nothing added to it at all.

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.

Bare sculpts, finished models

An unsupported STL printing service exists because of the way the hobby sells its files. A designer draws the sculpt and sells it bare, since every machine wants something a little different, which leaves the buyer holding a model that no printer will take as it stands. Most files reach you in exactly that state.

Send it raw. All the preparation happens here, and then the model is printed in high detail grey resin at our own UK studio and posted to your door, cleaned and ready for primer. Heights run 28mm, 32mm, 35mm, 55mm and 75mm, or type your own, and the price is on screen the moment you upload.

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 Unsupported STL 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 Unsupported STL printing service files to print

Buy the sculpt from the designer and download it as it comes, with nothing added. Upload it here, choose a height, and every bit of the preparation is ours to do.

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.

Most miniature files are sold exactly as the designer left them: a bare sculpt with a cloak, an outstretched arm, a spear with a banner at the top, and parts that simply begin in mid air. No printer will take a file in that state, which is why an unsupported STL printing service exists.

Send yours over as it is, with nothing added. All the preparation happens here, then the model is printed in grey resin at our UK studio and lands with you washed, cured and ready for primer.
