3D Forge Printing Service
Log cabins on the frontier, farm outbuildings, rail fences running along the edge of a field. Bare table one minute, somewhere a battle actually happened the next.
3D Forge sells the terrain files themselves. Pick up the buildings and fences you want from them first, then come back here with the files and we handle the rest.

Their sculpts, our printers
How to get 3D Forge files to print
3D Forge is where the files come from, so get the buildings you want there. Once you have them saved, upload them here and choose the height you want each one printed at.
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.
We also print
3D Forge makes terrain for historical tables: frontier log cabins with the timbers cut and stacked, farm outbuildings, rail fences that run the length of a field, and the village buildings that sit behind a firing line. The proportions are worked out for troops rather than a display case, so doorways, porches and fence rails all land where a figure expects them.
Buy the buildings and fences you want from 3D Forge first, then bring the files here. The price is on screen the moment you upload, with no quote form and no minimum order, so a whole village is costed before you commit to a single cabin.
Every building comes off our resin printers in the UK, gets washed and fully cured before it goes anywhere, and is posted to your door ready for primer.
