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 in-stock 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. Worldwide shipping is available, although shipping cost will be expensive outside of Australia.
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 10-30µm). For reference: 35µm is finer detail than 70µm.
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 for minis.
FDM (filament)
PLA for displays and prototypes, PETG for stronger functional parts, TPU for flexible components, ASA for outdoor use, and ABS where heat resistance matters.
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.
