PRINTING SERVICE Portraits · 28 TO 75MM

Photo to 3D printed miniature

One photograph, one person, rebuilt as a figure you can pick up. Sometimes a whole figure from head to toe, sometimes a portrait bust from the shoulders up.

STEP ONE — GET THE FILES

The tools that rebuild a face from a photograph run in your browser or on your phone, and the model is downloaded there. Bring that file back here to us.

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.

A photograph, made solid

Turning a photo into a 3D printed miniature is a different job from printing a hero, because everybody already knows what the answer is meant to look like. The tools rebuild a real person from one ordinary snap, and the whole thing lives or dies on the cheekbones, the nose and the set of the jaw.

That is why height decides everything here. A photo turned into a 3D printed miniature at 32mm is a character. At 55mm or 75mm, our largest, it starts looking like the person in the picture. We print in high detail grey resin at our own UK studio, cleaned and ready for primer, with the price 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 Photo to 3D printed miniature 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 Photo to 3D printed miniature files to print

Make the model in whichever tool rebuilt the photograph, then download it from there. Upload the file here, choose a height that gives the face room, and we print it and post it out.

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.
