3D printing allows us to easily scale models in our slicer, making terrain building for various games easier than ever. But one issue you can run into when scaling models, especially when scaling them down, is that you get very small interior spaces that can be hard to paint, and often unnecessary for wargames at… Read more
Here at Printable Scenery, we do our best to ensure our models best represent the scale they’re designed for. We do this through testing and experimenting till it’s right. Most of our models are 28mm-32mm and sometimes in between. We use relative scaling, which, in short, means things are scaled to the relative height of… Read more

Mirroring is an easy way to get lots of extra value out of your STL files, and gives your buildings way more variation in the process. So what is mirroring? Simply put it is reversing the detail on your model without having the Openlock port switch to the wrong side. “Witchcraft!” I hear you cry,… Read more

STL stands for STereoLithography, and is a file type which contains data of a 3D object’s layout, as generated by computer-aided design (CAD) software. Being one of the most widely used file formats for 3D printing, STL is found… Read more
