What this means:

Last month was productive! I designed and over 70+ minis for D&D ready for 3D printing and free!

You can see them all here and the free stl links are below each image: https://imgur.com/gallery/mz4250-august-2026-recap-gallery-free-stl-links-below-each-image-EKyoP6H

Thank you to all my patrons and onto Sept we go!

Here is my version of the Vorgar Ashborn Bust from Johnny Rampant Collectibles.

Another great sculpt from Johnny, and probably my favorite one to paint of the three. I saw this guy as a 'Tzeench' demon and kept the colors to those I'd expect to see in that faction. I've thoroughly enjoyed painting all 3 of these busts and will hopefully paint more of Johnny's sculpts in the future. Thanks Johnny.

Close to finishing!

Came across the Dutchmogul STLs online and printed them off and they're by far the best designed tiles and are looking for the rest of the set.

I saw there was a kickstarter ages ago, long since finished and a patreon. After supporting on Patreon there's not any more ZOD tiles, and theyre not on the website either.

It seems like theyre just nowhere to be found for download or to buy

I'm happy to report my War Ostriches print well! I needed these for my D&D game tonight. The tops come off so the players can put their minis on the ride slots too :D

Also I worked on the Quaggoths today from the new Monster Manual! Free stls: https://mz4250.com/posts/my-war-ostriches-168228056

Onto game prep!

Currently building my own Payday 2 inspired board game. Im already using models from Spectre miniatures for my criminals but need some help finding decent files for SWAT, especially special characters like Dozers. Do you guys have anywhere i should look? Thanks:)

So, I’m seriously out of the loop (had twins 2 years ago, lol). Want to gradually get back in the hobby. I’m not a wargamer, mostly print and paint stuff to sit on my shelf.

My current setup is Saturn 3 ultra and Neptune 4 plus, didn’t see much action lately obviously. Is it time to upgrade? Is 8 (16, 32) k printing here and worth it?
What are the best printers around nowadays in community’s opinion?
What are hot trends on miniature printing? I see fdm minis occasionally, but they still look kinda meh, what is the point?

Meet the Pirate Captain. Printed in one part, no assembly needed. No supports needed. Articulated & poseable. And the Lite version has working articulation at the shoulders and upper legs, using a patent-pending print-in-place joint mechanism that forms during the print itself.

Print settings:

Layer height: 0.20mm / 0.12mm

Material: PLA

Supports: None

Infill: 15%

Print time: 2h48m (0.12mm layer height)

📌 IMPORTANT!!! Please wait 1 hour for cooling before articulation.

Tested on a Bambu Lab P1S. Happy to help troubleshoot settings for other printers in the comments — this is a Lite release, full articulation (elbows, knees, wrists, ankles) is in the complete version.

The fully poseable original figure with all accessories is available on Patreon (www.patreon.com/PrintnPose). Please share your print results!

Hey first post here! Printed on the Mars 5 ultra. 30-40+ hours for a 4 hour encounter!

Used ionic and ak 3g paint and dirty down gore. Ak earth on the base.

I've been looking for my first 3d printer for a while and I recently found an A1 Mini for 200$🇨🇦 on market place from what he said it's in good condition. I'd like something that can print in somewhat good quality, should I take it?

Hi! This is my first model painted with an airbrush. I designed and printed the model myself specifically so I could paint it afterward.

There are still a few details I’d like to improve and refine, but I’m really happy with the final result, especially for my first time using an airbrush.

If anyone is interested in the model, you can find it here:

Hey guys!

I decided to take on a big project and do it all by myself — a full 28mm miniature collection. My goal was to sculpt 40+ models in just two weeks, and now I have only 4 days left.

Who do you think I could still add as extra models or units?

I’d also like to share the process of this challenge with you guys as I go. I think it will give me some extra motivation to push through and finish it.

I already have a plan in my head for the different units, but I’m definitely open to your suggestions.

Thanks!

Hi I'm looking for 3d models to practice my trim painting and edge highlight skills, and I would like to collect some recomendations from you.

My main focus is on Scy-fi and fantasy - models, with about 7-15cm in sice.

(Most of my brushes are worn out and I'm still waiting for my new ones, so the more finer details are quiete hard right now)

Just released my free set of classic UFO aliens. Have fun!

0.2 nozzle on the a1 with some primer on really impressed

I had been hesitant to try my hand at painting, but after watching a few videos, I decided to dive in. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out and I learned a lot about what to try next time. The big guy still needs a second coat on his base, but I think they're ready for this week's adventure!

Here is my version of the Kazra Bonesplitter Bust from Johnny Rampant Collectibles.

Really great fun to paint this bust from Johnny's collection, a cool beastman/demon and a great sculpt. Really happy with the skin and gold on this guy

Hello again friends! I'm currently 3D modeling and printing all the creatures from the new Monster Manual! This is a collection of prints either by myself or my patrons while I am working on this book. There are also renders of the models that haven't been printed yet. All the files are free and posted below under each image.
