FDM vs Resin for Miniatures
Both printer types can produce great miniatures, but with different strengths:
Resin (SLA/DLP/MSLA)
- Maximum detail – fine textures, sharp faces, intricate weapons
- Best for: Heroes, characters, display pieces
- Popular printers: Elegoo Mars, Anycubic Photon, Phrozen Sonic Mini
- Resolution: 0.025-0.05mm typical layer height
- Trade-offs: Smelly resin, more cleanup, requires UV curing
FDM (Filament)
- Cheaper per print, less mess
- Best for: Terrain, vehicles, large monsters, troop units
- Popular printers: Bambu Lab A1 Mini, Prusa Mini, Creality Ender 3
- Resolution: 0.08-0.12mm with 0.2mm nozzle
- Trade-offs: Visible layer lines, less detail on faces
Popular Miniature Categories
- Fantasy Heroes – Warriors, mages, rogues, clerics for DnD/Pathfinder
- Monsters & NPCs – Dragons, beasts, undead, bosses
- Sci-Fi Troops – Space marines, aliens, mechs for 40k-style games
- Historical – Roman legionnaires, medieval knights, Napoleonic infantry
- Terrain – Buildings, ruins, scatter pieces, dungeon tiles
- Vehicles – Tanks, aircraft, naval ships
Print Tips for Miniatures
- Scale appropriately – DnD is typically 28-32mm, Warhammer 40k is 28-32mm "heroic"
- Support carefully – Miniatures have many overhangs; tree supports work well
- Resin = better faces – If detail matters, resin is worth the hassle
- Slow speeds for FDM – 40-60mm/s on a 0.2mm nozzle for best results
- Prime before painting – Use a quality primer (Stynylrez, Citadel, Vallejo)
Painting 3D Printed Miniatures
Don't forget the painting! A well-painted FDM mini often looks better than an unpainted resin one. Recommended supplies:
- Primer: Black, white, or grey (Stynylrez, Citadel Chaos Black)
- Acrylic paints: Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter, Reaper
- Brushes: Synthetic detail brushes (sizes 000-2)
- Varnish: Matte or gloss to protect finished minis
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best 3D printer for miniatures?
For maximum detail, a resin printer (SLA/DLP/MSLA) like Elegoo Mars 3, Anycubic Photon Mono, or Phrozen Sonic Mini is ideal. For larger batches and terrain, FDM printers like the Bambu Lab A1 Mini or Prusa Mini work well. Many hobbyists own both types.
What scale are 3D printable miniatures?
The most common scale is 28-32mm (DnD, Pathfinder, Warhammer 40k "heroic scale"). Historical wargaming uses 15mm, 20mm, and 28mm scales. Always check the model's listed scale before printing. You can scale STLs up or down in your slicer (within ±10% works well).
Can I sell 3D printed miniatures?
This depends on the license. Most free miniatures are released under Creative Commons (CC-BY-NC) which prohibits commercial sale. Some designers explicitly allow personal use only. Always check the license. Commercial printing licenses are sometimes available for purchase from designers.
Where can I find free DnD miniatures?
MyMiniFactory has the largest curated collection of free DnD miniatures. Thingiverse, Cults3D, and Printables also host many free designs. 3DSEARCH indexes all 8 platforms so you can search across them simultaneously.
Do I need to support miniatures when printing?
Yes, almost always. Miniatures have many overhangs (arms, weapons, capes). For resin printing, careful manual supports are recommended. For FDM, use tree supports with 50-60° overhang threshold. Many designers pre-support their files – look for "pre-supported" versions.
