I’m looking for someone or some place that prints miniatures. I’d be supplying the file. I’ve never sent anything to 3d print and I must be awful at searching because I can’t find a single site that has like a rough quote for minis. Of course I understand they would give me a different quote once I supply a file, but so far I have absolutely no clue on what to expect. $20? $150? Do you get a better deal if you print multiple items? Does it matter if they’re different or all the same?
That, for starters. Next - what material should I be getting these prints on?
What resolution/parameters do I need to keep in mind for my files?
Does anyone have any recommendations for Australia?
Thanks
Usual reminder that you don’t need mini, and that if you really want some, a cheap alternative is to print images on poker-token (that you can buy for a ridiculously low price on Ali Express)
As usual when talking about 3D printing, look for a fablab near you. While individual printing will be more expensive, it includes the rent and maintenance of the machine, and gives you access to a wide variety of machine to match your specific needs. IMO, unless you plan to be a heavy 3D printer user, the fixed cost of even a cheap machine won’t offset the extra cost of going to a fablab, having access to high quality machine, and a local community of enthusiasts
