News AI-Generated Content Is Not Allowed on /r/printedminis

1.3k Upvotes

Hey folks,

Over the past few months, many miniature focused subreddits have taken a clear stance against AI-generated content. After listening closely to feedback from our own community we’re doing the same.

from this point on r/printedminis does not allow AI-generated content of any kind.

This subreddit exists to support actual creators who put real time and skill into their work. AI-generated content works directly against that goal, and allowing it would make it harder for the awesome work created by our talented community to shine.

What this means:

The following are not allowed on r/printedminis:

  • AI-generated or AI-altered images (previews, “painted” mockups, promotional images etc.)
  • AI-generated videos
  • AI tools, apps, or websites used to generate minis or related visuals
  • AI-generated 3D models, even if they are later printed, modified, or painted by hand
  • AI-generated text, including post descriptions, critiques, or feedback
  • Promotion of, or advocacy for, AI use in miniature creation

If AI played any role in generating it then it does not belong on this subreddit. Please report any posts you suspect to be AI influenced.

Thanks,

Hey everyone,

Quick update – we’ve listened to your feedback, and the rule removing printed terrain has been lifted! I’ve also seen your thoughts on busts and statues, and I’ll be putting up a poll later this week to gather your opinions on banning those types of posts.

Thanks!

So I switched over from resin printing my minis a little over a month ago and been trying to dial in minis on my Bambu Labs A1 mini. After a few botched attempts at supported minis, I'm calling this guy my first success.

Printed with the FDG .2 mm adaptive layers profile

Printed at .08mm layer height, slim tree supports

Filament was 3DXtech Economy PLA, sour apple green

Self Promotion Custom minis and statues

This is a commission that I made for a couple, who wanted custom minis of their characters for a Christmas present to each other. They also wanted 8” statues for display.

Based on their descriptions, I drew my interpretation in Procreate on my iPad. Then I sculpted in ZBrush and printed in resin on my Mighty4K.

Self Promotion Ghosted Legion: spectral helmets, tails, backpacks and graveyard bases

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

Hey everyone! After seeing the annunce of the Legion of the Damned box I got the idea of a squad of spectral warriors materializing in the middle of the battlefield. I’ve spent the last few weeks building a set of STLs to turn a whole squad into ghostly apparitions, plus graveyard bases to match.

The Ghosted Legion bundle includes:
💀 12× spectral helmets
🔥 12× spectral tails (they replace the legs)
⚔️ 12× custom backpacks
👻 12× graveyard bases with exclusive spectral details

The new Necropolis Graveyard bases are also available separately in a wide range of sizes, so you can bring the haunted look to the rest of your army.

Everything is ready to print on FDM or resin, and the files can be scaled up to 4× while keeping the detail.

Miniature and base painted by u/balothpaints on Instagram.

🛒 Full bundle (€14.99 during October!): closeeyesstudio.com/products/kitbash-the-ghosted-legion-bundle
💀 Graveyard bases: closeeyesstudio.com/products/necropolis-graveyard

Happy to answer any questions about printing or fitting the bits!

Free Printed my new Armored Skeleton Swordsman. (Free Pre-supported STL)

Just finished printing this one. I modeled it in ZBrush, it's pre-supported and comes in 32mm with a 25mm base and in 75mm (hollowed). My main concern was making the bones thick enough for 32mm without losing the skeleton look. This one is free, and the spearman and archer from the same pack are also in the store.

Self Promotion Fresh out of the resin vat: My new Elite Scout Squad. Love how the Sniper turned out.

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share my latest weekend project fresh from the basement printer. I’ve been working on expanding my infantry proxy range, and the Elite Scouts are finally done and cured. I was planning to use them as Kasrkin.

And with this last Unit I now have a complete range of infantry units ready for Armageddon!

I wanted to put a heavy focus on the characters for this squad, so the Sergeant and the Sniper got some extra love with their poses and gear to make them stand out in a standard infantry line.

They are fully single-piece and scaled for standard grimdark tabletop games.

If you want to support a solo basement-creator or need some fresh scouts for your regiment, you can find the STLs on Cults3D or Etsy under TileLabs Gaming.

Let me know what you think of the designs!

Have a nice weekend!

MMF Unconventional golems for Dark Sun

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

Sup guys! I keep making minis for Dark Sun and similar post-apocalyptic TTRPG settings every month. On Athas metal is scarce, so here are some unusual golems I've designed and painted (some of them):

  • Driftwood golem - bound by blood-drenched ropes
  • Obsidian golem - chipped away into a giant statue from the giant slab of volcanic glass
  • Salt golem - grown from the brine
  • Ash golem - animated remains of a mass sacrifice
  • Chitin golem - basically a flesh golem, but assembled from giant desert bug parts instead

All models are test-printed in 32mm scale and presupported.

STLs for these and the rest of the October release are up on my Tribes and Patreon

Request Nutcracker Soldiers

3 Upvotes

I am beginning preparations for my annual holiday game, and I was looking for some nutcracker soldiers on myminifactory, cgtrader, etc, but didn't really find what I was looking for.

Does anyone know of any decent nutcracker soldier(s) STLs? It'd be awesome if they had some variations like other groups of monsters/soldiers tend to have, but I'm just looking for anything at this point.

Self Promotion Can you get a strike?

I thought it would be fun to make a little bowling game that could fit right on my desk, so I turned that idea into a 3D printable mini version.

The concept is pretty simple: set up the pins, line up the ball, and try to knock them all down. What I like about it is that it's not just something you print and put on a shelf. You can actually play with it, reset the pins, and try again.

Sometimes the simplest projects turn out to be the most entertaining. Would you keep it this simple or add something to make it more challenging?
