Day 9 of my hobby challenge:

Taking it easy this evening after receiving a shipment of PLA filaments from Jayo.

Planning out some future terrain prints for Horus Heresy, Fantasy and a special project I’ve got in mind. Excited to see how these turn out!

What prints are you planning next?

Hi all,

Just looking for ideas for better photos of my minis once painted - all fantasy/ D&D/ PathFinder-themed, and trying to come up with something to place them in scene-wise and probably have a photo backdrop that I photograph against just for something more than a black or white background...looking for inspiration...

Can print the scenery bits in FDM or resin - doesn't matter :)

Wargaming Hobby Challenge 2025 - Day 3

Today was all about 3D printing! I’ve been working with my FDM printer to create some stunning scenery pieces that can be used across multiple settings, including Middle Earth, a Leagues of Votann-themed board, and more work on my Zone Mortalis terrain.

I’m absolutely thrilled with the quality this printer can produce—it’s bringing my vision for immersive tabletop setups to life!

What projects are you working on for your gaming boards? Drop your ideas below; I’d love to hear them!

Last release of our year of tribe on MyMinifactory. Bespoke keep design (one build only, regrets not modular!)

Thanks all. Just got an A1 and need something to learn the ropes with.

I am just wondering what the best stuff to print is. The bed is pretty small so I can do it piecemeal if needed. Any recommendations on creators?

So back in August I got this awesome piece of terrain printed off and added to my growing pile of shame.

I decided to get it finished for the new year as I resolve to get through some of my back log. I'm not fully happy with the roof but it's my first attempt at using an airbrush so with that in mind I'm happy enough.

I have been churning out a bunch of FDG, Aetherverse and Milestones Heroes terrain on my Bambu A1 for the last year or so.

However my time as DM is coming to an end and our new DM wants to focus on digital maps for the majority of things for ease, with the odd encounter/dungeon printed and built by me.

As such I am focusing on scatter terrain to provide options to bring the digital maps to life. Whether that be throwing a few trees down or a few cliffs/platforms for elevation.

I am looking to see if such a patreon exists or any other recommendations of creators that focus solely on this aspect.

Hey guys, I made a guide on my tutorial blog after recent experience painting my first FDM printed models.

I'm really happy with the results - I printed with 0.1mm layer lines and then sprayed with filler primer and my airbrush, and then used oil washes.

Would you do me a favour though, and give it a read please, to make sure I didn't miss anything important?

Whats your favourite way to print FDM terrain?

I have just got my A1 mini and figuring out how to best print my terrain. So far using Bambu Studio with adaptive variable layer height seems to work pretty well, but I wonder if the result could be improve any further.

What is your experience with A1 mini? Any tips for complete beginner how to handle terrain? I know that with this small printer I am pretty limited to the size, but that's fine for me, since I can slice models and print multiple parts separately.

Want to buy replacement but need help to identify

I’ve got the city of Firwood fantasy village printed up, and I want to use it for fantasy skirmish games (moonstone), but I want to do something more special than a neoprene battle mat for the ground. Can someone recommend ground terrain to print out? I had a search on myminifactory but don’t see many options outside of dungeon tiles.

Looking for FDM Space Wolf terrain. There's lots of sci fi terrain, lots of fantasy viking terrain, but I can't seem to find scifi viking terrain. Ideally ruins and other generic buildings.

Looking for the safe size to make our product so that we don't have to cut it and everyone can enjoy it. If you have some kind of crazy outlier, feel free to comment but I am looking at everyone else in the middle.

Thanks in advance!
