Have you ever thought: Well, I would like to have specific dollhouse miniatures for my dollhouse, but I can't find them anywhere, and I can't really make them myself?
Maybe then, you could get your (custom) order from a custom 3D printing service.
Today, I am going to review for you some artists who have the perfect skills to use a 3D printer and have also created fantastic 3D-printed miniatures before, so let's dive straight into things!

3D Printer Shop Number 1: BigManSmallWorld
3D-printed, finished miniatures and also custom 3D-printed minis.
This artist I come across a lot on social media like on his Instagram page and his work and designs continue to amaze me! (so I might be a little prejudiced here lol).
I have seen 'Simon Williams miniatures' also using his pieces to be put in his custom-made Georgian style dollhouses.
The 'big man' is actually called Andrea Arrigoni and he is from Milan, Italy and is a graphic designer and art director, specializing in 3D printing miniatures and painting them in a fantastic way.
The exact sizes are always listed with the products. And his shop has, in miniature size of course: wall plates, rugs, sculptures, furniture, and 1 kit.
Find the custom 3D printing service here.
- High-end craftsmanship and high quality
- returns and exchanges accepted
- buyers are raving over this shop, so it gets a lot of 5-star reviews
- the more expensive items seem to get free shipping, as far as I can tell
- some masterpieces can get expensive, but that is to be expected!
3D printer shop number 2: NookAndNotch
This Etsy seller, Nook & Notch, offers a custom 3D resin printing service. Essentially, you send them a design or an idea, and they manufacture a physical object for you using a high-detail resin 3D printer.
What exactly do they offer?
- Custom miniatures: Dollhouse buildings, miniature furniture components, scenery, figurines, and decorative objects.
- Printing your own designs: If you already have an STL file (a digital 3D model), they can print it for you.
- Designing something from scratch: If you only have sketches, photos, or an idea, they may be able to develop a printable 3D model
