Hi guys

Anyone have a good source for 3d printable minis for WW2 stuff?

Or any good sources of minis at all (they dont need to be customisable)

Cheers! 🙂

There aren’t many good miniature STL’s around yet. As soon as there is a decent kickstarter I’ll be getting a anycubic.

For trying out the anycubic you could get a hold of these to print:

These might be right up your street @warzan they are in 1:100 scale but he also has some 1:200 sets as well.

Pretty sure there are loads of 1:56 stuff on thingiverse as well.

Wow, there is a comprehensive collection of vehicles there!

@warzan what specifically are you looking for? What scale are you looking at printing?

That’s pretty small! Have you tried printing figures at that scale yet? I think it’s worth runnning a test of any figure to see if you can get them out in one piece.

I’d like to help with this if I can. Im using Zbrush a lot at the moment and boning up on 3D printing ahead of my SparkMaker SLA printer arriving this month (fingers crossed as it’s from a KS I backed).

If we can find a basic figure file I can group them into units for you, base and scale them ready to print (I’m assuming they’ll be on unit bases at that scale).

I found this guy for free on Turbosquid and download him to see if the file worked ok. First image is the basic model. I upped the resolution a few times then tried some very basic posing. They also have some WWII Brit’s, Germans and even a German Officer! They’re $6 each or $10 rigged though I’m not sure the rigging is for zbrush (looking into that).

The free model I downloaded came with a rig but it wasn’t compatible with Zbrush. So I just gave myself a crash course in rigging (care of YouTube), and Made a basic rig allowing for better posing. I’ll get better with practice but can definitely work with those models.

Aiming to have something ready to print by next weekend. Will just be a test as I suspect printing at 6mm will raise its own challenges!
