Custom 3D Printing: Send Us Your Own STL
This is the whole job on one page. Upload the model you own, stand it up, tell us how tall it should be, and the studio quotes it while you watch. No email thread. No waiting for someone to come back to you with a number.
What this tool does
Most printing services ask you to place an order, email your file, and wait for a human to work out what it costs. This one does the work in your browser, in front of you.
You bring one humanoid miniature as an STL, up to 150 MB. The studio reads it, puts it on our house print angle, and runs the same support engine our own operators use on the models we sell. Then it prices the job from what the print actually takes. You see that number before you commit to anything.
It reads your file, not your description
Drop in an STL and your model appears on the stage in 3D. Rotate it, look underneath it, and satisfy yourself that we are looking at the same thing you are.
It scales the way miniatures are actually scaled
Two clicks, foot to eye. That is the measurement the hobby uses, so a 32mm from us stands next to a 32mm from anywhere else without an argument.
It supports the model with the engine we use ourselves
Orientation and supports are not left to you. The same support engine that preps the models in our catalogue runs on yours, and shows you exactly what it added.
It prices from the print, not from a guess
The quote is built from the size you asked for, the resin that size will drink, and the share of printer time the job occupies. Bigger and taller costs more because it genuinely costs more, and the breakdown is there to read before you add anything to your basket.
Then we print it properly
Your job joins the same production queue as everything else we make. A person checks it before it reaches a printer, and it ships washed and cured, ready to prime.
How to use it
-
Confirm it is yours to print
Tick the rights box. We print models you own or have the right to have printed, and nothing else. That is not a formality, and a person checks it.
-
Choose your STL
One humanoid miniature per file, STL only, up to 150 MB. Nothing uploads until the box is ticked.
-
Stand it up
Get it feet down and facing front. The tool then walks you round it, from the front and from underneath, so the orientation is confirmed before anything is measured.
-
Click the foot, then the eye
Two clicks. That establishes the true foot to eye height of your model, which everything else is measured against.
-
Choose a size in millimetres
28mm, 32mm, 75mm, or any number you like. Your model is scaled so its foot to eye height matches what you asked for.
-
Let it orient and support
This runs on your machine and takes a couple of minutes on a detailed model. Hide the supports and inspect the result before you go on.
-
Get your price and add it to your basket
The quote appears with its breakdown. From there it is an ordinary order.
Questions people ask
What files can I upload?
STL only, up to 150 MB, one humanoid miniature per file. If your model arrives as several parts in separate files, run each one through as its own print.
What if I do not own the model?
Then we cannot print it. You declare that you own the model, or have the right to have it printed, before the uploader unlocks, and every job is checked by one of our team before it goes near a printer. Files you bought, files from a paid patron release, and files from a character creator you paid for are all fine. A file someone sent you is not.
Can you print a model I built in Hero Forge or Eldritch Foundry?
Yes, provided you bought the STL. Both let you buy the file for the character you built, and once the file is yours we will print it. Export it, drop it in, and size it however you like.
How much does a custom 3D print cost?
It depends on the print, and you see the exact figure before you commit to anything. The quote is built from the size you asked for, the volume of resin that size needs, and the share of printer time the job takes. A small character costs a good deal less than a display piece, because a small character is a good deal less printer.
What size should I choose?
Whatever your table already uses. 28mm and 32mm cover most tabletop roleplaying and skirmish gaming. 75mm and up is display territory, where the height buys you detail you can actually see across a shelf. We measure foot to eye, so smaller folk come out smaller than the number on the box, which is correct.
What does it arrive like?
Printed in the same resin as everything in our catalogue, washed and cured before it leaves us, so it reaches you clean and ready to prime. Unpainted, on whatever base is part of your file.
How long does it take?
It is printed to order in our UK studio, so nothing is sitting on a shelf waiting for you. Your job joins the production queue, gets checked by a person, then printed, washed and cured before it ships. Current timings for everything we make are on our FAQ page.
Can you print something that is not a person?
The measuring step is built around a humanoid figure, foot to eye, so terrain, vehicles and creatures will not size correctly here. Get in touch and we will quote those by hand. Same for corporate proofing and manufacturing support.
Can I change my mind after ordering?
A custom print is made for you alone, so it sits outside our Love Us Guarantee, the setup fee is not refundable, and the order is exempt from distance selling regulations. If the print itself arrives wrong or damaged, that is on us and we will put it right.
Does it work on a phone?
It runs anywhere with WebGL2, which covers every current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Preparing a detailed model is real work for the device though, so a laptop or desktop will be the happier experience with a heavy file.
