Hey everyone! I'm a DM and 3D printing enthusiast, and I've been working on a little project called 3D20 that I thought some of you might enjoy. I've always loved using miniatures in my games, but traditional minis can be expensive, take ages to print, and eventually become a nightmare to store. Not to mention I have a slight panic attack when my 6 year old picks them up, she isn't gentle with them! So I started experimenting with an alternative: simple, recognisable monster silhouettes that are easy to print on an FDM printer without supports, don't need painting, and take up very little storage space, and cost next to nothing to print out :) What started as a few designs has now turned into a project to work through the entire 2024 D&D Monster Manual, creating printable meeple versions of the creatures along the way. I've also started branching out into player characters and simple terrain pieces. All the models are free to download on MakerWorld, I'm doing this for the community (and If I get enough points on the way from prints to buy a better printer, lovely stuff!): https://makerworld.com/en/collections/22733448-2024-monster-manual-meeples I'm continuing to add new monsters each week, and I'd love to hear what other DMs and makers think of the concept. Would you use something like this at your table, or do you prefer traditional miniatures? And if there's a monster you'd particularly like to see as a meeple, let me know! I'll add it to the request list :)   submitted by   /u/MWUK88   to   r/DnDIY [link]   [comments]
