Get an Instant 3D Printing Quote for Your Tabletop Miniatures
Getting a 3D Printing Quote Shouldn't Take Days
If you've ever tried to get a custom miniature or tabletop terrain piece printed, you know the drill: you email a print shop, attach your STL file, and then wait. And wait. Sometimes it's a day, sometimes it's a week, and sometimes you never hear back at all. By the time a price finally lands in your inbox, you've lost the momentum to actually place the order.
At Arcane Flame, we built our 3D print price calculator to remove that entire waiting game. Upload your STL files, and you get an accurate, instant quote — no back-and-forth emails, no guesswork, no waiting around to find out if your project is even affordable.
Why an Instant Quote Tool Is a Game Changer for Tabletop Projects
Tabletop gaming is a hobby built on customisation — converting units, printing custom terrain, filling out an army, or bringing a homebrew character to life. An instant quote tool fits that hobby far better than a manual quoting process ever could:
- Speed. Upload your file and see a price in seconds, not days. No waiting on a reply before you know whether a project is worth pursuing.
- Transparent, size-based pricing. Our calculator prices your model on its actual dimensions and volume, not a flat guess — so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.
- No obligation. Upload as many files as you like, compare prices, and only order when you're ready. There's no commitment just to see a number.
- Handles single files and multi-part models. Whether it's one clean STL or a model split across several parts for assembly, the calculator prices it properly either way.
- Scales with your project. Quote a single character miniature, a full unit of tabletop wargaming figures, or a batch of custom terrain pieces — the tool handles small and large orders alike.
How the Arcane Flame Price Calculator Works
1. Upload Your STL Files
Head to the price calculator and drop in your file. You can add a single STL — most orders are this simple — or, if your model is a multi-part build, tell us and we'll price the full assembly, parts and all.
2. Get an Instant, Itemised Quote
As soon as your file uploads, the calculator reads its dimensions and generates a price on the spot. No waiting for a human to measure or estimate — the order summary updates live as you add or remove files, so you can see exactly how your total builds up.
3. Choose Your Finish
Pick the print options that suit your workflow: raw resin (assembled or unassembled), or primed in white, grey, or black, ready to paint straight out of the packaging.
4. Order With Confidence
Happy with the quote? Add it to your cart and check out. Every model is printed to order in high-detail photopolymer resin on professional MSLA printers, right here in the UK — with spend-and-save discounts automatically applied as your order grows.
Perfect for Any Tabletop Project
The calculator isn't limited to one type of file. It's built for the full range of things tabletop hobbyists actually print:
- TTRPG character miniatures — bring a homebrew hero, villain, or NPC to life at heroic scale.
- Tabletop wargaming armies — quote a full unit or an entire army list in one upload.
- Custom terrain and scenery — ruins, dungeon dressing, scatter terrain, and battlefield features.
- Conversions and custom parts — bases, weapon swaps, and bespoke components for kitbashing.
- Board game upgrades — replacement or upgraded pieces for your favourite games.
Whatever the project, if you have the rights to the design — your own sculpt, a homebrew creation, or a file from a source that permits printing — the calculator will price it for you.
What You'll Need Before You Upload
- An STL file — binary or ASCII. If you're working in Lychee Slicer, export your
.lysproject as an STL first. - A rough idea of scale if your file doesn't already include real-world dimensions.
- Two minutes to spare. That's genuinely about how long it takes to go from upload to quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the price calculator free to use?
Yes. Uploading files and generating quotes costs nothing and carries no obligation to order.
What file formats can I upload?
We accept binary and ASCII STL files. If your file is in another format, such as Lychee's .lys, export it to STL before uploading.
Can I quote more than one miniature at a time?
Yes — add as many single files as you like, or use the multi-part option for models built from several STLs, and the order summary will total everything for you.
Can I print any STL file I upload?
You're welcome to upload any file that you own the rights to or otherwise have permission to print — your own designs, homebrew creations, or files from creators who allow it. We're not able to print copyrighted third-party miniatures without the appropriate licence.
Do you print large tabletop wargaming orders?
Absolutely. The calculator scales from a single character miniature up to full army lists and batches of custom terrain — and our spend-and-save discounts apply automatically as your order total grows.
What finish options are available?
Raw resin (assembled or unassembled), or primed in white, grey, or black — ready to paint straight away.
