Where to find reasonably priced miniatures?

Buy a 3d printer I'm not being absurd. Based on your needs, budget, and time frame, you'd be best off getting a 3d printer. You even have options: FDM (PLA) printer - a bambu A1 mini is $220, plus a 0.2mm nozzle for like $20. Filament is $30 a spool and you can get like 300 minis per spool. The qual

3D printer recommendations?

Elegoo Mars 5 4K 3D printer for Resin printing. Bambu Lab has some great FDM printers but I think resin is the way to go for the scale / detail.

3D Printing Miniatures

my printer won't print right and my mom says she's going to return it if i can't figure it out please help!!!!

I’m not too concerned with the fumes since it’s mostly contained when the cover is on. I’m concerned about how to properly handle it. You can’t just clean this stuff in a sink and be okay with it. It’ll clog your pipes and it’s terrible for the environment. If you accidentally spill the bottle you’v

Why is Australia getting shafted !

Load of crap. This type of item is duty free and there's only a 10% sales tax which is comperable to most places in the world. Shipping from china is also pretty affordable, not saying we are the cheapest but we arn't no outlier especially for something this small and light. A 10-15% price increase
