If you're just starting out in D&D and you don't have time or resources to 3D print or buy large numbers of minis look up Giant in the Playground and their webcomic Order of the Stick. A while back they did a kickstarter to pay for new print runs of their books. One of the backer rewards was a series of pdfs called Monsters for Every Season. The pdfs are 30 to 60 pages of paper craft minis for most of the 3rd and 3.5 D&D monsters. All drawn in the art style of the Order of the Stick webcomic. Last I checked, they had 5 different pdfs of these paper craft minis on the website that hosts their store. Priced at $6 suggested donation. Download the pdfs, print off the pages with minis you need, cut them out, and fold them into simple A-frames. It's simple, cheap, fast, and supports a good artist.

Thanks i haven't printed any minis yet because I'm trying for the best and don't understand supports and how they sork or what's the best to use. Currently im trying battletech stuff.
@@robertalopez4746 that takes a while too... I've screwed up a few things in the past 2 pr so weeks but you slowly start getting the idea of what works and doesn't (not just support wise but the whole knowledge curve).
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to 3d printed table top! Got me inspired into 3d printing and I have been enjoying it ever since! Writing my own D&D campaign and its all thanks to you !! Big love 💪
I just spent $233 on a 3D printer for D&D purposes, it should arrive in 2-9 more business days, and I'm so worried it won't work out. I'm going be watching a lot more videos over the next few weeks. Thanks for this video in advance.
HEY everyone! 👍 We JUST launched a new Kickstarter for 3D Printing DMs with all-in-one 3D printable D&D adventures! Come check it out HERE: www.kickstarter.com/projects/3dprintingdm/the-lost-adventures-all-in-one-3d-printable-adventures?ref=2517hr
just to let you know, you didn't mention hero forge AT ALL. you can make your own figs, which is the literal purpose of the site. yeah you can't get every creature, but damn you can make just about everything that's at all human shaped. and they are expanding their stuff, like every few months they add a whole bunch of objects for the figs to hold and such. you can either download the file or buy a already printed fig AND you can get it made of metal!
@@retosius7962 HeroForge is good, and I've used it myself to download a few custom models, but it is not free to do so! That's probably why he didn't include it in this video about free sources!
Monoprice select mini was my first printer. That thing was amazing, great quality prints out of the box. It eventually committed suicide after thousands of prints, the power supply is inadequately cooled. Just FYI if you buy one, mod it with better cooling immediately.
I really like your channel. I think it would make for great regular videos just to go through current kickstarters. I'm guessing you are keeping track anyways for your own sake. Why not keep us updated on nice projects to support and grow your channel at the same time?
@@Hooverdreng Hi Jonathan! This is always really hard because of the number of KS that are released every year. Believe it or not, there are 10+ every month in our space. The closest thing I've done is the Hidden Gems series where I do this with Patreons. Here's a playlist to that: ua-cam.com/video/nKvqb6yoxSE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=3DPrintedTabletop Thanks for watching!
This was so helpful. I was surprised how frustrating it was finding the exact files I wanted to print. You have so many more option than I expected. Thank you.
Just seeing this vid and haven't finished it but your enthusiasm and love for the impact a proper presentation has on player's realization of the dungeon scenario reflects mine perfectly. Subscribed!
I'm just getting into 3d printing. I picked up an Anycubic Proton Mono X 6k. I am all setup and ready to hit the ground running. Since I ordered the printer, I've been looking for skeleton models to print to fill out my dream army to unleash on my D&D players! Well... I am now somewhat discouraged. I can not find even paid skeleton minis. I mean, this wasn't the ONLY thing I wanted a printer for, but it was a BIG part of it.
Another thing to note, Miguel Zavala is willing to help you with questions you have about his model! I shot him a message on shapeways and he taught me how to separate models in blender!
I've been looking for this kind of videos for a long time and you my dude have been a lifesaver, you know how to give the right information in a simple way while keeping it entertaining and funny, keep up the good work!
Just getting into 3D printing but am a long-time D&D player/DM. Time to try and match my current collection of minis....with my own personal printed minis. See you in a few years. LOL ! I appreciate your channel and videos. I'll be sure to support your Kickstarter (already did) and follow up with your various channel offerings. Kind Regards.
Danny - another awesome video! I just recently got an Anycubic Photon printer for my minis (after watching your videos) and wow! The detail is amazing! My husband and I will be backing three of the Kickstarter campaigns you featured in the description (Skyless, Atoll & Swamp), since it is so hard to find this type of terrain for gaming. Cheers for showcasing these modelers!
That's one of the reasons I started the channel - to help grow our community :) And gotta agree with you on the Photon - I pretty much only print minis on it unless I want to show something on the channel these days. Once you back those KS's I think you're gonna find you have every kind of terrain & mini you could need for those environments. Cheers!
Hey Danny! Many many thanks for your videos! You encourage me yesterday to order my first 3D printer: an ender 3. The main reason for my choice is the price of course. The second one is the quality of your printed minis with the ender 3. My question is, do you have a video or post on Reddit to check all your features on your printer? Your modified profile as well as your upgrades on the printer? Many many thanks for all the free content you are sharing in your videos. It is very powerful and useful.
have a feeling once you start printing with it - you are going to wish you bought the resin one instead.... the quality between the 2 for minatures is not close unfortunately... resin is toxic, expensive and really not great for the home unless you have a well ventilated area that you can monitor while the print is going on... but - the quality is so much better!
One of the first models I printed as I entered this hobby was a Gynosphyinx for my planned campaign. When you showed it in the video I was holding it in my hand and had no idea it was MZ's model. Oh- and it was printed with your mini settings.
I watched one of your older videos earlier today and the info was great but the editing was so choppy. It's so amazing to see how much your videos have improved since! Keep up the good work!
This is, maybe, the most important video for anyone interested in printing minis. I've got a lot of Miguel's models to print and I absolute love the possibilities.
Loving this video!! So many things I didn't know about. I have a resin printer and i think the best thing I wish I could find, is a collection of support-less miniatures. I spend 80% of my time doing supports rather than looking for minis.
If you have the game Tabletop Simulator some amazing guy made a steam workshop file with like all of the DnD Monsters (over 1k models) Dont have a link i could drop atm but the guy who compiled it is Demorids, its really awesome Point is: You can copy the link from the models you want, drop them into your browser and it will download the OBJ file for it for printing
Gracias por los vídeos. Estoy con planes de comprar una impresora 3D. Ya conseguí un montón de minis free para wargames y sigo buscando No conocía shapeways. La voy a usar 😊
Love watching your videos!! You are thorough and so helpful! Also it nice to have some one “down to earth” on UA-cam. You are a like able dude keep it up!
Ehy i am a 3D modeler and an unreal engine developer, i made a Bullywug with my ender, modeled by me on zbeush and then i handpainted it. The paint part isn't perfect, was my first time, but the bullywug came out good and a little funny ( he gives bombastic side-eyes)
MZ4250 is amazing. Not only does he do a large number of models, many of which are free to download, he goes out of his way to make them look as close to the official art as possible. He doesn't just do a Dao, he does the text book Dao right off the page.
You look and sound like you could be an actor from my childhood. Every time I watch your videos I feel like I'm a kid again on Saturday morning for some reason. It's not a bad thing, you should have gone into acting or maybe go into acting now.
Awesome video! You're definitely one of the most helpful UA-camrs out there. Slightly off topic, but what do you think would be an overall good printer for both miniatures as well as cosplay pieces? Thank you
pretty much every 3D printer can do it, it's just a matter of how much print space you want and how much you're willing to spend vs how much effort you're willing to put in to maintainign the 3D printer. Least effort, expensive = upbox, makerbot, zortrax etc most effort, cheap = creality, ender3 etc though technically resin printers (anycubic, form2) make much much better smaller details, making them ideal for tabletop minis, they smell bad, are more toxic and very messy, so you'll need a particularly suitable space with lots of ventilation and away from your usual living spaces in order to run it.
could you do a video on OpenForge I want to use it but the sheer amount of tiles and versions and options are overwhelming. I also need to know what I need for OpenForge and how do they interlock
This would be great, got stumped by this today...would be even better if he compiled like set lists. For example, a sewer set, a flat tile set and so on. I would value it a lot...
OpenForge has some pretty good documentation on GitHub. I would recommend going over here and checking it out. It's how I got started, just requires some light reading. github.com/devonjones/openforge-tutorials/blob/master/README.md
Thanks again for showing my designs unintentionally. I am on Thingiverse with the name melabam. I was the one shown for the minibrowser first page designs. No I didn't put my designs on there, but obviously others must like my designs. I was also shown for my lava designs on your terrain video as you hurried through examples.
Awesome dude, I have one question though, that last minis you show on the video are printed with a resin 3d printer or a DLA 3d printer?? (the one that uses PLA and ABS, I don't know if it's called like that... )
I was looking for decent models that don't need supports (I hate the hassle of cleaning up supports!) and eventually ended up making them myself, just started uploading them to my Thingiverse, feel free to use them!
What's a good printer I could get for minis? That's newbie friendly but will also print me quality miniatures, so once I know my way around a 3d printer I dont have to upgrade, I also would like it to be able to print landscapes and buildings, walls, floor tiles ect... I think the idea of creating and painting everything bg g for tabletop games and what not is just awesome so can you please help me with some printer suggestions
I can't, in good conscience, recommend it honestly. It's not that it isn't capable of doing great entry level prints - it's just the number of people I know who've given it a shot and had a terrible experience far outweighs the number of people who've had a good experience with it. I think you're best off waiting for the Photon to go on sale (usually they hit $360 here in the US about once a month, and often multiple times).
I'm loving my Ender 3. Easy to assemble, never had any problems with it, but make sure you print the attachment that holds the filament string out or you'll get some underextrusion issues. I also got rid of the default plate cover and replaced with tape, but only because it's easily scratched up if you're not careful
Tort Yip, I would second that re filament part. Also I now have my spool holder mounted on the side to reduce the curve down to the extruder. I love my Ender 3, it has been of great service and gives great quality once dialled in.
Do you have any advice on if we cannot find a model even with all these tools, I've been searching for a caller in darkness from pathfinder for quite some time and can't find it or anything similar to it.
Sometimes you just gotta ask in a FB group or on Reddit. Regarding that mini though, did a quick Google search and I think the closest thing I could find are some of the Skull/Spirit minis in the DungeonWorks KS. Check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/klingbeil/dungeonworks-monstrous-encounters-undead-rising
I know this post is quite old. I just got my printer today, I've watched a lot fo your videos and yiou've been super helpful. I hater to ask anything, but I'm encountring something I haven't seen anyone address in their videos........ I'm getting random strands of plastic. OK, some of it is on the print plate. seperate from my print. Anoying but ignorable. I'm also getting random strands on outside my print bed, it's ending up on the base of my unit and that just doesn't make sense. Would you be able to shine a light on it?
If you want to search thingiverse using google, you can use this syntax site:www.thingiverse.com orc To narrow down to things or tags (unfortunately the way the URLs are constructed means you can’t do the same for collections) like this site:www.thingiverse.com/thing orc site:www.thingiverse.com/tag orc Also, learning to use other google search features, such as boolean connectives like "OR" and parethases is worth your while if you are going to be using Google for this sort of job.
can you share the experience that how to improve the print quilty? if use my fdm printer to print such small model in your video,it will almost lost all detail ...
He has made a video about how to print better quality FDM miniatures. You can find if you search for "how to get resin quality prints on your FDM printer" A lot of it depends on the printer you own. If you cant use his settings because you have a different printer, look up something like "how to improve detail quality on "x" printer. (With "x" bring the printer that you own.) Good luck!

pretty much every 3D printer can do it, it's just a matter of how much print space you want and how much you're willing to spend vs how much effort you're willing to put in to maintainign the 3D printer.
Least effort, expensive = upbox, makerbot, zortrax etc
most effort, cheap = creality, ender3 etc
though technically resin printers (anycubic, form2) make much much better smaller details, making them ideal for tabletop minis, they smell bad, are more toxic and very messy, so you'll need a particularly suitable space with lots of ventilation and away from your usual living spaces in order to run it.
Resin 3d printing is outstanding for 3d printing miniatures.

That's newbie friendly but will also print me quality miniatures, so once I know my way around a 3d printer I dont have to upgrade, I also would like it to be able to print landscapes and buildings, walls, floor tiles ect... I think the idea of creating and painting everything bg g for tabletop games and what not is just awesome so can you please help me with some printer suggestions
I really want to know how to play D&D beacuse the minis are so cool 😆👍 nice video!
Would you recommend the Sparkmaker as an entry level SLA printer for printing minis only?
I can't, in good conscience, recommend it honestly. It's not that it isn't capable of doing great entry level prints - it's just the number of people I know who've given it a shot and had a terrible experience far outweighs the number of people who've had a good experience with it.
I think you're best off waiting for the Photon to go on sale (usually they hit $360 here in the US about once a month, and often multiple times).
@@3DPrintedTabletop Thanks! I think I'm either going to stick with an FDM printer or wait for the resin ones to get a little bit cheaper.
Awesome thanks for the list of sites great video!
Can you recommend me a 3d printer for this activity, cheap or accessible and with good quality?
Bruno Beltrán Belmonte Creality Ender 3. Great machine.
I'm loving my Ender 3. Easy to assemble, never had any problems with it, but make sure you print the attachment that holds the filament string out or you'll get some underextrusion issues.
I also got rid of the default plate cover and replaced with tape, but only because it's easily scratched up if you're not careful
Tort Yip, I would second that re filament part. Also I now have my spool holder mounted on the side to reduce the curve down to the extruder. I love my Ender 3, it has been of great service and gives great quality once dialled in.
Good stuff man.
Could you make a list of URL's so we can just get a few easily findable miniatures?
It's very easy, just go to Google and type in: "____ (Monster name Here) mz4250 stl" and it'll be the top results pretty much every time
Very Very very Awesome!
Do you have any advice for a resin friendly Beholder?
Do you have any advice on if we cannot find a model even with all these tools, I've been searching for a caller in darkness from pathfinder for quite some time and can't find it or anything similar to it.
Sometimes you just gotta ask in a FB group or on Reddit. Regarding that mini though, did a quick Google search and I think the closest thing I could find are some of the Skull/Spirit minis in the DungeonWorks KS. Check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/klingbeil/dungeonworks-monstrous-encounters-undead-rising
I know this post is quite old. I just got my printer today, I've watched a lot fo your videos and yiou've been super helpful. I hater to ask anything, but I'm encountring something I haven't seen anyone address in their videos........ I'm getting random strands of plastic. OK, some of it is on the print plate. seperate from my print. Anoying but ignorable. I'm also getting random strands on outside my print bed, it's ending up on the base of my unit and that just doesn't make sense. Would you be able to shine a light on it?
What nozzle are you using for printing minis?
What gamestore are you talking about?
@3d Printed tabletop if it says not for sale on a figurine how does it work and when would someone be able to
Can you get Warhammer minis too?
Nice Metroid shirt
My favorite bounty hunter
Thank you so so much
You. . . . Are. . . . . . A. . . . Legeeeeend !
If you want to search thingiverse using google, you can use this syntax
site:www.thingiverse.com orc
To narrow down to things or tags (unfortunately the way the URLs are constructed means you can’t do the same for collections) like this
site:www.thingiverse.com/thing orc
site:www.thingiverse.com/tag orc
Also, learning to use other google search features, such as boolean connectives like "OR" and parethases is worth your while if you are going to be using Google for this sort of job.
i have a little question, or more of a request, does somebody know the exact number of minis i need to run descent into the avernus?
You don't really need any minis to run a good game. Just work on your story telling and improv.
Thank you 😊
very nice
Thank you!
can you share the experience that how to improve the print quilty? if use my fdm printer to print such small model in your video,it will almost lost all detail ...
He has made a video about how to print better quality FDM miniatures. You can find if you search for "how to get resin quality prints on your FDM printer"
A lot of it depends on the printer you own. If you cant use his settings because you have a different printer, look up something like "how to improve detail quality on "x" printer. (With "x" bring the printer that you own.)
Good luck!
What are your support settings? I imported your settings but supports didn't populate. I'm using the ender 3.
Where can I find "Xenomorph's" and "Colonial Marines" from the Aliens Movie Franchise?
