Miniature 3D Prints: Tabletop Gaming and Display

Miniature 3D prints — from tabletop gaming figures to tiny display pieces — showcase 3D printing ability to capture detail at remarkably small scales.

Tabletop Gaming Figures

D&D characters, Warhammer proxies, and custom RPG miniatures can be FDM printed at gaming scale. While resin produces finer detail, FDM miniatures at 0.08mm layers are surprisingly capable for tabletop use.

Tiny Display Collections

Miniature ducks, micro gnomes, and tiny fantasy creatures create charming small-scale displays. Shadow boxes, printer trays, and tiny shelving systems showcase these diminutive pieces.

Printing at Small Scale

Small-scale printing demands precision: 0.08-0.12mm layer heights, calibrated first layers, and careful cooling. Not all designs work at miniature scale — the best have simplified details that read clearly even tiny.

Scale Comparisons

Our miniature line ranges from 1-inch (25mm) to 3-inch (75mm) pieces. 28mm scale matches standard tabletop gaming. 75mm scale (approximately 1:24) is ideal for display and painting.

Painting Miniatures

Painting transforms FDM miniatures. Primer fills layer lines, base coats establish color, and washes add depth. Even basic painting skills dramatically improve the appearance of 3D printed miniatures.
