PRINTING SERVICE Terrain and figures · 28 TO 75MM

MakerWorld printing service

Terrain, props, the odd bracket, and among them the small stuff: characters, creatures, faces and fingers at miniature size. That last group is where the good detail hides.

STEP ONE — GET THE FILES

The makers put the models up themselves, so download the ones you want from them. Send the file here, choose a height, and the printing happens at our end.

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.

Small models, fine resin

MakerWorld is a platform built around home machines, so a lot of it is terrain, props and brackets. In among that sit the small things: character figures, creatures and beasts, faces and fingers at miniature size. A MakerWorld download is open to anyone, which is why so many of those little models never get made properly.

That is the gap we fill. The price appears as soon as the upload does, with no minimum order and nothing to request beforehand. Each model is printed in our own UK studio in high detail grey resin, then cleaned and sent to you ready to paint. Send one to see it, then send the rest, with nothing to work out at your end.

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 MakerWorld 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 MakerWorld printing service files to print

Download the model from the maker who posted it, saved to your own computer. Upload it here and we print it, terrain and characters in the same order if that is what you want.

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.
