I'm looking for someone or some place that prints miniatures. I'd be supplying the file. I've never sent anything to 3d print and I must be awful at searching because I can't find a single site that has like a rough quote for minis. Of course I understand they would give me a different quote once I supply a file, but so far I have absolutely no clue on what to expect. $20? $150? Do you get a better deal if you print multiple items? Does it matter if they're different or all the same?

That, for starters. Next - what material should I be getting these prints on?

What resolution/parameters do I need to keep in mind for my files?

Does anyone have any recommendations for Australia?

Thanks

You want someone with a resin printer over a fdm one. You will get waaaay better quality.

For a standard mini I would assume the material cost to be less than £1.

Expect it to be a chunk more than that as it's the cost of the printer/staff/shipping that will make up most of the amount.

This is probably a better question for the 3d printing communities.

...we have 3d printing communities...? Of course... I didn't even think about it... 🤦
