There hundreds of Warhammer 40k models for 3d print, but unfortunately most of them are just low poly models, inaccurately executed. It takes time and knowledge to create high-quality 3d designs and not everybody can do it. Warhammer_40K_Space_Marine (1) was created and sold by MattRody so you could customize it, make it your own and use it every day! Select more than 75 various 3D printing components to design the 3D printing item so it corresponds to your style of living or the use and way of life of the person you desire to gift it to.
In another 5-10 years GW might very well just cut their costs, stop making their own models and sell files that you get to print at home. The shops will just be a few 3D printers and a bunch of pictures with barcodes. In 5-10 years the quality of GW minis will keep increasing.
Remember, right now there is nothing stopping you from making your own minis from green stuff, paper cutouts, or just proxy stuff. Some people take the time to, some people do not. Most people just stick with GW, and for 2 main reasons. They like/love the quality, and its required in major tournaments. The key for me is anyone in the geek sphere knows what warhammer 40k is. Most people who don't play is because of the cost really. If you boil it down, there really is a huge opportunity for warhammer to grow, but GW is pricing themselves out of it.
I used to sell the things and it was perfect when the starter set was $60. Cost vs video game was an easy sell. Plus the company still made nearly $40 on a starter set, back in 4th ed.
Hell starter sets should be a loss leader to hook people in. Most people who don't play is because of the cost really Again, what's your proof of that? Lots of geeks earn enough that the cost is a non-issue and have much more expensive hobbies. I'm not suggesting that proof exists, quite the opposite in fact. If you boil it down, there really is a huge opportunity for warhammer to grow I'm afraid I don't agree with that assertion.
I do agree that GW is shrinking their market share due to their current pricing strategy. There's some subtlety in that statement though - I feel the potential market is a certain size and lowering the prices significantly wouldn't grow the pie. Raising prices too much limits the size of the slice GW gets rather than shrinking the pie.

Why 3D printable models? Many people are switching from foam build (pepakura models) to 3D printed models because they are simply more durable and long-lasting. Our highly detailed models can be 3D printed into realistic wearable props! These 3D printed costumes can look very authentic and therefore impress everyone at a cosplay show (Comic con) or a Halloween party! 3D Printing Tips The current model is created for a 6′ tall person but you can re-scale the model using any FREE 3D modeling applications such as meshmixer, cura or netfabb.
These software help you repair and close small holes on the model and cut/slice the model into small pieces according to your printer’s build volume. You can find many free video tutorials on YouTube. Since every 3D printer and brand has different specs, you need to slice the file according to your build volumes. We hope this information is useful to plan out your project. About Do3D We are a team of professional 3D modelers with 15 + years of experience.
We have been a secret weapon to world’s most famous/renowned prop makers and have been helping them improve their artwork quality, speed up the process, and reduce the production cost. Countless number of hobbyists and individuals were also introduced to 3D printing industry and received tremendous amount of benefits through Do3D. We also do a lot of movie promotional work/project so please contact [email protected] if you have any questions about our 3D models and services. Thank you.
