How printing works
I print existing 3D files. I don't sculpt or model from scratch.
Have an STL, OBJ, or 3MF? Upload it on the quote page. No file yet? Describe the piece or send a reference photo and I can help find a printable model.
Want something already in rotation? Browse the shop.
File or starting point
Upload an STL, OBJ, or 3MF if you have one. If you don't, send a description or reference photo and I can help find an existing printable file. I don't offer custom 3D modelling.
Quote & confirm
I'll check printability, send a quote and timeline, and we agree on material, scale, and quantity before anything is printed.
Print & finish
Once payment is in, I print with dialed-in settings, then clean, cure, and inspect the piece myself.
Pickup or shipping
Inner Melbourne pickup, or AusPost across Australia. Shop checkout is Australia-wide plus Melbourne pickup. For overseas delivery, request a quote so I can price postage at cost.
The miniatures advantage
Bring your STL
Already bought the file? Great. Upload it and you're paying for the resin print, not a "full retail mini" pipeline. No file yet? We'll look for one you can print.
High-detail resin
For minis, detail matters. I print at Ultra-HD layer heights (typically 30-50µm, 0.03-0.05 mm). Smaller numbers mean finer layers.
Solo-business QC
I do the support planning, cleanup, cure, and final inspection myself. I try to keep supports off faces and "front" details, and I won't ship a mini I wouldn't put on my own table.
Materials & print quality
I match the process to the job: resin for fine detail, FDM for tough functional parts.
Resin (SLA/DLP)
Best for miniatures, busts, and high-detail display pieces. I use quality resins including tough and transparent formulations for the right balance of detail and durability. Layer heights are typically 0.03-0.05 mm (30-50µm) for minis.
FDM (filament)
PLA for displays and everyday prints, PETG for stronger functional parts, ASA for outdoor UV resistance, ABS for high-heat indoor parts, and TPU for flexible components.
Finishing
Supports are placed to keep contact points off faces and front-facing details where possible. Prints are cleaned, cured, and checked before they ship.
