Simple Modular TTRPG - Dungeons and Dragons Minis/Miniatures 28mm

Update Log:

Update 1 - 8/29/2024

It has only been a day since i published these, but I have managed to finish printing at least all of the classes. While for the most part they came out well, I will be making some changes (mostly just making some bit thick or a bit bigger to stand out more) to all classes except monk, rogue, and artificer, I tinkered a fair bit with those before publishing and am happy with the results. I have also removed the DnD logo, it didn't print well. And lastly, I formatted all of this to make it more readable!

Update 2 - 9/10/2024

Im back with some updates, changes, improvements, and new pieces! All of the class tops (with and without text) have been updated, and are in a place where I am happy with them. I also added a bard token (because, whoops, I forgot to make one before). For the time being I removed some of the enemy tops (mimic, raider, and goblin) because they need some refining, and removed the versions with text all together (except the class tokens). I feel the enemies are somewhat general, so I will keep the text off, unless someone specifically wants them.

I have printed everything that is available now, and am pretty dang happy with the results so far. Most recently i decided to use the large 56mm base to create location pucks, to give my players a more tactile overview of locations they go to. They have been play-tested now, with resounding success. They may be simple, but they certainly get the job done. If you give these a shot, I hope you enjoy!!

I also updated the list of models at the bottom to be more accurate.

Here's a brief list of what was added/changed:

• Complete re-work of wizard, paladin, and cleric
• Updated warlock, barbarian, fighter, ranger, sorcerer, druid
• Added Bard
• Updated the twig blight, beast, and owl
• Added a shadow enemy and Large Dragon
• New large base piece (old one is now named as a taper, and has a version with holes for magnets on the top and bottom)
• Added and angled adaptor
• Added dual and tri top adaptors, for both the 28mm and 56mm tokens
• Added some location pucks! I really like these, and set some up in front of my DM screen for a recent session, players where THRILLED! (If you print the mage tower or stronghold, give fuzzy skin a shot).
• Added an Example of a name flag for the location pucks. They have a small hole built in to add a name flag.
• Added a large DM token (I also like to put this in front of my screen at the table) and a large DnD Logo token

Description

These models are a work in progress. I have not tested all of them yet, and may update some as I continue printing them all, and upload new ones as I make them. Any and all feedback is welcome, and if you give these a try, please consider dropping a like, and a comment/review with a picture of your print!

If you are like me and want to print minis for your DnD or TTRPG games, but don't have a resin printer, or are tired of the somewhat varying results and long print times of classic miniatures with your FDM printer, here is the solution for you! Although this collection of minis is simpler than those typically printed by resin printers, they are usable, modular, and easily printable with your FDM printers. I did use a few existing free models to make some of these, which will be linked at the bottom of the description.

My intention with these, and splitting them into two parts, was that I can have a number of bases prepared and continue to design and print new tops for various encounters as needed, saving space and some of my time, and allowing my players to update and change their mini as each character grows and evolves.

Each base and top will need three 6x3mm magnets, you can buy a pack of 150 on amazon for ~$8, and they can be easily glued into place. Although three magnets is definitely overkill, they provide a pleasant clack when put together, and can double as a satisfying fidget/stim toy if, like me, that's something that helps you focus. 

Versions of each top piece come with and without text (noted in the file name), and could be easily modified to have a character name, or other identifiers. If you print a version with text, i recommend using supports. I included a screenshot of my support settings in Orca Slicer, which I have found great success with. If printing files without text, they are support free!

Using your standard print settings should be sufficient. I print them with a layer height of 0.15mm, 4 walls, and 4 top/bottom layers. For infill, 10% is enough, use more if you want a heftier piece (i think the bases are really nice with 100% infill but that's just me, and you should probably save your filament). The ones pictured are printed in Elegoo Rapid PETG, but any material will be fine. One base and one top file print in about an hour on my v0.2 and modified ender 3.
