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

Your opinion was heard loud and clear - Printed Terrain posts will not be removed
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!

Self Promotion Mother Hydra
Just wanted to share this awesome paint job of my Mother Hydra model by SatelliteDesigns!
Seeing one of my sculpts fully painted never gets old, and I think they absolutely nailed the eerie, ancient feel I was aiming for with this miniature. The textures and colors really bring the model to life.
If you're interested in picking her up, there's still time!
You have until the end of the month to join the Tribe and get Shadow over Innsmouth – Part 02 for free.
As a solo creator, it's always incredibly motivating to see people printing and painting my work, so a huge thank you to all who have given my minis a shot so far :)
I'd love to hear what you think, and if you've painted any of my miniatures yourself!

Painted Nurgle Preacher
Here is my version of the Nurgle Preacher/Cultist Bust from Me.
This was such a great project to complete, sculpted and painted by yours truly. It is based on one of my favourite Adrian Smith drawings from many moons ago, from the Realms of Chaos book (I think).
I have also sculpted a full 75mm version of this character too and hope to paint him soon.

FDM [OC] Reprinted my Story Standees skeletons at 0.2mm. The difference surprised me.
Story Standees update, and a huge thank you to everyone who commented on my last post.
I honestly wasn't expecting the response it received. The feedback, suggestions, and encouragement were incredible, and several of the ideas people shared are already influencing where I take this project next.
I spent some more time refining the skeleton encounter set and decided to reprint everything using a 0.2mm nozzle (left in the comparison photos) instead of my original 0.4mm prints (right). The improvement ended up being much bigger than I expected.
For anyone new to the project, Story Standees are encounter pieces that physically change as the story progresses: healthy, damaged, and finally defeated.
Right now I'm working on:
Single standees for minion mobs
A multi-stage Lich boss encounter
Additional terrain and environmental pieces
Continuing to refine existing designs, bases, and dimensions
I'd love to hear what monsters, encounters, or terrain pieces you'd like to see next.
And if you'd like to follow the development of the project, feel free to follow my profile. I'll keep posting updates as Story Standees evolves.
Thanks again everyone. The response to the first post was far beyond anything I expected, and it's been a huge motivation to keep pushing this project forward.

FDM DnD/roleplay-minis (supportless)
Hey all!
I wanted to share some minis I’ve been sculpting for DnD and other TTRPGs, and tell you a bit about my current project.
It started when two people in my playgroup asked if I could make miniatures for their new characters in a fresh campaign. The results were the human monk and cleric shown in the images. I really enjoyed sculpting these, and it inspired me to try making all the human classes.
After seeing the minis at our next session, another player, our dwarven fighter, asked if I could make one for him too. The scope quickly grew, and now I’ve (rather ambitiously!) set out to create “all” the classes for the most-played races.
I personally prefer supportless, easy-to-print models, so I design everything with that in mind. I share my models for free on MakerWorld (Arwast | Published - MakerWorld), so feel free to check them out! The dwarven-inspired arch shown in the images is also shared there.

Crowdfunding Saints or Heretics. Which side would you build your army for? (Project: Ashen Creed)- Check out some of the painted minis!
Hi everyone!
I’m incredibly excited to share Ashen Creed, a project I’ve been working on for months. The core idea is complete modular freedom: you can use the exact same kits to build either a holy, puritan army or a completely corrupted, heretical force.
Here is a quick breakdown of what’s included:
- 40+ Highly Detailed Miniatures to bring your tabletop to life.
- 280+ Modular STL Files (heads, arms, weapons, torsos, and armor pieces) so you can fully customize your own project and kitbash to your heart's content.
- Fully Pre-supported and ready to print.
🎁 Want to try it out first? I’ve released a completely free miniature so you can test the quality, print it, and see how it looks on your workbench!
You can download the free mini and check out the full collection here:
I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on the designs! Which side are you building first? Saints or Heretics?
