Have you ever thought: well, I would like to have specific dollhouse miniatures for my dollhouse, but I can't find them anywhere? Maybe then you could get your (custom) order from a custom 3D printing service, instead of trying to find out how to do it yourself or even buy a 3D printer.
Today, I am going to review for you some artists who have the perfect skills to use a 3D printer and also have 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.
Variable prices. The rugs are going from $25,00 and up and you can get a sculpture starting from $29,17 and up.
On Etsy, and the custom 3D printing service as well.
- 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!
If you have an Instagram account (mine is this one by the way), I would really advise everyone to follow this guy and I would definitely buy from his shop, or have some custom-made pieces, if I ever win the lottery, lol!
3D printer shop number 2: M3dPrintedCreations
3D printed creations and custom-built items.
This shop can help you out in creating 3D printed (miniature) items that otherwise you couldn't find or make. Sells already-printed miniatures as well as customs. These are mostly on a 1:12 scale.
Materials: PLA.
Variables prices, from $10,00 for a little bottle to $50,00 for a mini dumpster.
