Custom Resin 3D Printing at MiniHalla

Bring the Finest Details to Life

From intricate fantasy characters to fearsome monsters and legendary dragons, resin 3D printing is an excellent choice for many detailed tabletop miniatures.

At MiniHalla, we use resin printing to produce models where fine features, textures and surface detail matter. Whether you're preparing for your next Dungeons & Dragons campaign, expanding your collection or bringing a favourite model to life, we'll assess your file and help determine whether resin printing is right for your project.

What Is Resin 3D Printing?

Resin printing uses a liquid photopolymer resin that is selectively cured by light to build a model layer by layer.

This process is particularly well suited to smaller, intricate models because it can reproduce fine features that may be difficult to capture using other printing methods.

The final result depends on the model's design, dimensions, resin, print settings, supports and post-processing.

What Is Resin Printing Best For?

Resin printing can be a great choice for:

• D&D characters: player characters, NPCs, adventurers and spellcasters.
• Monsters and creatures: fantasy beasts, undead, demons and other encounters.
• Dragons: detailed scales, horns, faces and other intricate features, where the model and print setup allow.
• Tabletop miniatures: suitable models for roleplaying games, skirmish games and miniature collections.
• Display models: smaller decorative figures and detailed models.
• Other intricate projects: suitable designs that benefit from fine surface detail.

Every model is different. Very thin weapons, wings, horns and other delicate details may remain fragile even when printed successfully.

Why Choose Resin Printing?

Fine Surface Detail

Resin printing can reproduce small details such as facial features, armour textures, scales and decorative elements.

A Smooth Appearance

Resin prints can achieve a smooth surface finish compared with many standard FDM prints, although print orientation, supports, layer settings and post-processing all influence the final result.

Ideal for Many Miniatures

Many tabletop characters and creatures are designed with resin printing in mind, making it a natural option for detailed gaming models.

Flexible Project Options

Depending on the model and its dimensions, resin printing may accommodate individual miniatures, multiple smaller models or larger components.

What Should You Know Before Ordering?

Resin printing offers excellent detail, but there are a few important considerations.

Model Size

The model must fit within the available build space. Larger models may need to be resized or split into separate parts.

Delicate Features

Thin parts may be fragile. A model's design and the thickness of features such as swords, tails and wings affect its strength.

Supports and Surface Marks

Some models require temporary supports during printing. Removing them can leave small marks that may require further preparation.

Cleaning and Curing

Resin prints require appropriate post-processing. The process depends on the resin used and the equipment and settings specified for it.

Material and Handling

Different resin formulations have different properties. Finished resin models should be handled appropriately and protected from excessive heat, impact and prolonged direct sunlight.

We will assess these considerations when reviewing your custom-printing request.

How to Request a Resin Print

2. Tell Us What You Need

Email ContactUs@minihalla.com with your model details, desired size, quantity and any special requirements.

3. We'll Assess the Project

We'll review whether the model is suitable for our equipment, including its dimensions, level of detail and any preparation that may be needed.

4. Receive Your Quote

If we can undertake the job, we'll confirm the proposed requirements and price before printing begins.

5. Printing and Fulfilment

Once everything has been agreed, we'll arrange the print and any finishing work included in your quote. Delivery arrangements and expected timescales will be confirmed as part of the order.

Resin Printing or FDM Printing?

Not sure which method is right for your project?

Resin printing is often the preferred choice for detailed miniatures and intricate models. FDM printing is often practical for terrain, buildings and larger accessories.

The best option depends on the model, its size, the required finish and how it will be used.
