3D Printing

The accessibility of printer technology and the boredom of lock-downs has created a boom in 3d printer use for table top gaming. Discontinued games are almost completely supported by the hobbyist community.

Types of Printing

Since no one has access to Electron beam melting desktop technology this wiki will cover the most commonly used home printers.

Digital Light Processing (DLP) DLP technologies is that DLP uses a digital light projector screen under a vat of UV resin. DLP 3D printers can image an entire layer of the build all at once, resulting in faster build speeds. While frequently used for rapid prototyping, the fine detail allows for quality minis to be printed.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) FDM is a common desktop 3D printing technology for plastic parts. An FDM printer functions by extruding a plastic filament layer-by-layer onto the build platform. It’s stinky but a cost-effective and quick method for producing physical models. This is best for creating terrain or larger models.
