Multi-piece orders (5+ of the same mini) may qualify for a small volume discount — mention it in your order notes.

Not Just TTRPG

Print Anything

You don't need to be a tabletop gamer to use our service. If you have an STL file and need it printed — for any reason — we can help. No printer, don't want the hassle, or just need one-off piece? Send it over.

COSPLAY PROPS & WEARABLES

Helmets, armor pieces, weapons, accessories — we print props at any scale. Large pieces can be split and printed in sections. Resin for fine detail, PLA for larger structural pieces.

FUNCTIONAL PARTS & PROTOTYPES

Brackets, enclosures, replacement parts, product prototypes — PLA and resin both work well for functional prints. Describe what it needs to do and we'll recommend the right material.

DISPLAY & DECORATIVE PIECES

Statues, figurines, busts, desk ornaments — anything you want to display. Resin gives you excellent surface quality for display pieces that will be seen up close.

JUST NEED IT PRINTED

Don't own a printer and just need a one-off file printed? That's exactly what we're here for. Send the STL, tell us what you need, and we'll quote it. Simple as that.

How We Work

Policies

STL LICENSING

We only print files that explicitly permit third-party commercial printing. Customers confirm license eligibility at checkout. If you're unsure, ask us — we'd rather check together than print something that creates a problem for either of us. See our STL guide for more detail.

PAYMENT

All orders begin as a free quote confirmed within 24 hours. Payment is due before printing begins. We accept PayPal, Venmo, and cash for local pickup. We do not charge until you've approved the final quote.

PRINT FAILURES & REPRINTS

If a print fails due to our equipment or process, we reprint at no cost to you. Customer-supplied STL files that cause print failures may require file adjustments. We'll always communicate before charging anything extra.

SHIPPING & PICKUP

Local pickup is available in Lima, OH — preferred for fragile resin minis. Shipping is available via USPS with foam packaging to protect your minis in transit. Shipping costs are quoted at the time of order.

TURNAROUND TIMES

Standard orders are typically ready in 3–5 business days depending on print queue. Rush orders (1–2 days) are available at +50% when schedule allows. We'll always confirm your estimated completion date before you pay.

SUPPORTED FILES

We accept .STL and .OBJ files. Files should be manifold (watertight) and ideally pre-supported for resin prints. If your file has issues, we'll let you know before quoting rather than printing something that won't come out right.

Common Questions

FAQ

Do I need to provide a pre-supported file for resin prints? ▼

Pre-supported files are helpful but not required. If you have one, great — send it along. If not, we can add supports on our end as part of the print prep, which is factored into the quote. Just let us know in your order notes.

Can I order a mini if I don't have an STL file? ▼

Yes — describe your character in the notes field and we can point you toward suitable STL sources that have commercial printing rights. We don't design original sculpts, but we know where to find great files for almost any character concept.

What scale should I order for D&D or Pathfinder? ▼

28mm heroic and 32mm are both widely used and fit standard 1-inch grid squares. 32mm tends to have slightly more detail due to the larger size. 28mm is better if you're mixing with an existing collection of commercial minis. When in doubt, go 32mm.

Do you paint miniatures? ▼

Not currently — we print and deliver unpainted minis ready for priming. The surface quality from our 4K resin printer holds paint very well. We can recommend a primer before you start.

My file's license says "personal use only" — can you still print it? ▼

Unfortunately no. We can't print files restricted to personal use, even for a one-off order. It would violate the designer's license regardless of how the print is used. Check out our STL sources guide for designers who offer commercial-friendly licenses.
