The compound is painted for the 1/72 scale or 20mm Miniature size. There is also some licensed printers out there for you if you like the look of the terrain and do not have a 3D printer. This compound is from 3D Print Terrain which has had many a successful kickstarter and also has a website where the files can be purchased from.
The following example is how I took a flat minimal textured surface of a 3D printed model and turned it into an Afghanistan Compound fit for any battle on the tabletop. The original plan for the terrain has been to make it compatible with the fantastic terrain produced by Dwarven Forge. Using it requires access to a 3D printer, but I expect that will continue to become more common.
FDM printers are ideal for printing wargames terrain.ĭepending on the 3D model and your printer settings those lines can sometimes be seen. Im developing a new project for creating gaming terrain. I have a Prusa Mk2S FDM printer… that’s the one that prints lines. I will also mention there is countless buying guides online. So why should I get frustrated assembling a flimsy MDF kit when I can just hit print and a few hours later I have some great looking terrain! It isn’t that simple of course and there is an almost endless source of tutorials and guides on the internet to help you out but with a bit of patience, experimentation and willingness to learn, you can master 3D printing fairly fast. Being MDF, they are fragile and are prone to warping. I understand not all kits are like this but in my experience I have been less than impressed with them. I find assembling them can be a long drawn out process and they look rather flat and dull on completion. Now I for one do not enjoy assembling MDF kits. MDF kits are great but I feel they will be a thing of the past as technology evolves, the hobby evolves and 3D printing becomes more mainstream. My main motivation for purchasing a 3D Printer was to produce wargames terrain. I have owned a 3D Printer now for coming up to 2 years.
