Using a software know as 'Slicer' you can import STL files and process these files, that represent the 3d model to be sent to the 3d printer. stl is a format native to the stereolithography CAD software that was created by 3D Systems (see Wikipedia for more information). You can download onto your computer and start 3d printing files in less than 10min.įor those that don't know STL, stands for 'stereolithography'. These models have been made with the same attention, care, and dedication than those for sale but are free. In both MyMiniFactory and Cults 3D, you will find around 10 free 3d model dioramas, models, and props available for download. They are made to be easy to 3d print, parts are split into individual STL files and will need very basic skills to 3d print. Someone not long ago reached out and said: 'Your store has a bug, many of your 3d models are free STL models!' Well there's no bug they are free so you can download free STL files and 3d print them. Selling 3d models through Patreon, MyMiniFactory or Cults 3D allows me to support my work, to offset the costs of the materials - filament, 3d printer, paints, etc but I believe I also need to give something back (besides all the benefits for Patrons) so I try and much as possible to balance the release of 3d models with free models. Who doesn't like free 3d models to download and 3d print? Most of the models aren't free but several you can download free of charge. Many are available on my Patreon exclusively, but many are also available on MyMiniFactory and Cults 3D.

After some time creating dioramas for 3d printing I have over 60 3d models available for download.
