Order Miniatures

Whether you have custom miniature files yourself or want 3D prints of some of the models I’ve created, I can print a wide range of miniatures at a fraction of the cost you’ll find anywhere else.

Ships in some of the resin colors. Click for full resolution. They grey heavy cruiser is about as tall at the printer can handle.

Most miniature will be printed using a SLA resin printer with 0.05mm resolution for fine detail. This printer can handle objects 68 x 120 x 150 mm (2.67 x 4.7 x 5.9 inches) in size. For very large prints, I have a large filament printer that can print objects up to 275mm (10.8″) in diameter and 405mm (15.9″) tall. The resolution is not nearly as good on that one (0.1mm vertical and 0.2mm horizontal) but it can make some very large objects.

Prints can be done is a wide variety of colors. Currently I have white, grey, and translucent black for the resin printer, and white, black, red, blue, grey, orange, and clear for the filament printers. However, if you have a relatively large order and want a different color, I can get the color you would like, it just might take a few more days to get the print completed as I’ll need to order in the resin.

If you have miniature files you want printed, or want to have some of my models printed for you, contact me at minis@expandingfrontier.com and we can work out the details.

Models printed with the black resin and a quarter for scale. Click for the full sized image.
Prints with the white and grey resin. The camera had a hard time focusing on these ones and the white is very hard to see detail on. It’s there, just hard to see.
Some models in the translucent green resin. Click for full sized image.

Cost

For my models, the cost for each model is listed on this table (link opens in separate tab/window).

If you have a custom model, the cost to print would depend on the the size of the model and how much resin was required to print it. You will need to send me the file or files and I would set them up to print to determine how much resin it requires. As a general guide I charge about $0.50 per gram (including the weight of any support material needed) so all of the character minis in the pictures here (28mm scale) would cost between $1 – $2.

Shipping for most orders is a flat $10.00 in the United states and models are sent by USPS Priority Mail. For very large orders, it might be a bit more but I’ll let you know before we get started. If you’re overseas, we’ll have to figure out shipping on a case by case basis. If you happen to live in Utah Valley (Provo-Orem area in Utah), you could always just come by and pick them up.

Place an Order

So if you want to order some miniatures, send me an e-mail and let me know what you’d like me to print for you.
