You will have access to the files via MyMinifactory using the email you checked out with on our store.
Q: Will I be able to download the files straight away?
A:No, but you will receive access to the downloads on the same day. The process requires a member of the team to manually add you to our user group. This is done twice daily.

Printing
Q: Are the files presupported?
A: Yes, all of our files come presupported.
Q: What scale are the miniatures?
A: The miniatures are a heroic 28mm scale. We tend to focus on creatures and monsters which have a bit more freedom in terms of size. But we stick to expectations when it comes to things like humans and dwarves etc.
Q: Can I change the size of the miniatures?
A: You are welcome to change the size of the miniatures. But please note that the sculpts have been designed for this particular size, meaning if you print smaller the details may not read as well or alternatively if you print larger the model may appear less detailed. To resize the model, you can either scale the unsupported model and support it yourself. Alternatively, you can scale the supported file. If you scale the supported file some knowledge on the supporting process may be needed. We use light supports which if scaled down might fail. They may require editing if you make the model smaller or larger.
Q: What printers do you recommend?
A: We recommend resin printers for our products. We use Elegoo and Anycubic printers but are quite excited to get our hands on a Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K.
Q: Can you print the STL's on an FDM Printer?
A: Our files are presupported for resin printers. The supports are not designed with the intent of being used on an FDM printer. However, we do offer unsupported files. FDM users can create their own supports better suited for FDM printing.
Q: What software do I need?
A: We provide unsupported and presupported files in STL format. This can be uploaded into Chitubox, Lychee or the standard printer package that comes with your printer. If you have a printer you will have a software included which is appropriate for our STL releases. Our supports can be edited using Chitubox, however we are looking to move to Lychee.
Q: What glue do you use?
A: For small lightweight models, we use Gorilla Superglue. For larger models we use Gorilla Epoxy Resin. With larger models we recommend scouring the contact points. For the best contact it is important that the connecting surfaces are cleaned and support remains removed.
Q: What do I do if my print fails?
A: We test our prints on several printers and we also use members of the community to test our prints. If your print fails it can most likely be resolved with a small increase to your exposure settings. If you are having consistent problems with your printer we recommend trying a print validator to improve your printer settings. There is also a fantastic community for most of the top printer brands who are very helpful. We also have our own Facebook page which we hope will be able to assist other members. And of course, we are here to help!
