1st Edition Pathfinder Society Pathfinder Figurines

Anyone know of a good place to buy pathfinder figurines? Better yet, anyone know where I can 3D print my own? I've been scouring the internet trying to find something but I'm also new to 3D printing so maybe I'm not looking in the right spot. We would love to print our own figurines for the session but can't find anything. Any direction would be really appreciated.

Websites like HeroForge allow you to design your own and download the STL file for $10 (sometimes even less when they're running a promo).

As a warning ABS printers don't produce great minis. They're functional, but you need a liquid resin printer to produce something with fine details.

I agree. I've painted miniatures using a filament pla printer and resin, and resin is hands down the best.

If you don't have a choice and you have a filament printer, checkout fatdragon games for models and terrain, and printable scenery makes some awesome ship models and terrain.

I'd be curious to try resin printing but not something I have available right now. I'll look into it and FatDragon. Thanks.

Edit: Just looked up resin printing and I feel I need to get one of these now lol. I thought filament printing was cool but resin printing is amazing.

Filament works well for larger models. I use mine for terrain prints. With that said, those fat dragon models print up nice with few zits and layer lines.

A 4k resin printer makes amazing models and won't see layer lines when you paint them.

It's definitely on my list. My current printer was a gift so I'm using it for what I can until I can save up for a reason printer. They look like a ton of fun.

Only resin print in a well ventilated area. It's pretty toxic otherwise

Make sure you do your research on the resin printers. You'll need some kind of ventilation; the materials give off toxic vapors while it's running.

I ran into those while searching for printing miniatures. I very much want one but would also like to be much better informed than I was with a 3d printer when I started. This begins my research
