He suggests printing the figures with a 0.05 to 0.1 layer resolution, 100% infill and a ton of supports.

The minis are available on Shapeways with the approval of Wizards of the Coast thanks to their existing deal with Hasbro.ДЄll of ZavalaвЂ™s D&D figures were designed in Blender and then 3D printed in PLA using his Printrbot Simple Metal. The last of his project, the NPCs, were just uploaded to ZavalaвЂ™s Shapeways store, which brings his project to an end. That is a remarkable resource for D&D Dungeon Masters, who can now put their players up against any creature that they can imagine. His project included creating 3D printable models of the entire Monster Manual, as well as the miscellaneous creatures from Appendix A and the Non-Player Characters (NPCs) from Appendix B. Now, thanks to Zavala, there are other options for DMвЂ™s looking to get the most out of the game rules. Many DMвЂ™s ended up turning to places like eBay just to get the basic miniвЂ™s that they would need to actually play the game properly. Of course things got even worse when Wizards of the Coast stopped producing as many miniatures, choosing instead to focus on starter sets and random booster packs, while letting many of the popular and commonly used figures go out of print. While it became easier for players to understand distances and scale, it ended up making it kind of difficult to play the RPG without the grid maps and miniatures.

The miniatures were so popular that when the game mechanics were redesigned, Wizards of the Coast actually incorporated the miniatures into the game rules.
