My 11-year-old son told me that he doesn't have any friends at school because he has autism. This broke my heart, so I decided to start running a D&D session for him. To both work on his social skills and help him discover imaginary friends. I purchased a MonoX and here are the first three prints I ever made. His Barbarian, Cleric sidekick, and his Pack Mule!

Jerry Holkins once mentioned that his son, whom has autism, goes to group therapy where D&D is used to facilitate social interaction and social-problem-solving

@@ChayComas Oh yeah? That's awesome! My goal is to get a FDM printer and start printing terrain. Then I'd like to set it up with the school where once every two weeks to host a D&D game at the school for kids who are interested. That could allow my son to make some friends and also get the kids introduced to the wonderful world of TTRPGs.

That's great! My wife and I used D&D with our autistic son also. He is 30 now and my wife runs a group for adults with autism through the local Autism society and a local game store.

As someone who was diagnosed late in life, I wish I had someone like you people to help. This sounds like a great thing to help develop social cues and skills. Small controlled but open environments, sounds amazing. I hope more people see this comment and keep it in mind for later.

I started playing D&D only because I knew my autistic brother in law would be into it and he needed some social interaction. We are going on our third year playing in that same group and now I DM another game. It’s been awesome!

My favorite is a standard “dog” that comes with the Ender printers. My three year old son was instantly taken with the figure and named it “Plopy”. I have painted it white with a red belly and golden stripes on it’s back according to his very specific instructions. When I asked why the golden stripes he said “so it can roar like a tiger”. It sits on his nightstand now.

any updates? Haven't seen anything about it since the video

This is a great thing for the community.

How

This was my first print. I was going through a deep bout of depression after having a bad panic attack and losing my job. It was the first thing I did in months that actually brought me joy. Since then, I have printed a lot minis, but nothing brings me as much joy as when I first printed that bookmark

This is my first 3D printed terrain, and it's hot off the press; I'm still painting it, as you'll notice it still looks a little slap dash. I've GMed tabletop for years, and was forever envious of tabletop terrain. During quarantine I discovered a talent for crafting, and spent the majority of 2020 following Black Magic Craft tutorials. A month ago I got my first 3d printer, with the goal of creating a collection of terrain for tabletop. And, I am currently building an immersive set for a D&D tradition that my friends and I have kept for over a decade after high school, "Thanksgiving D&D." We all return home to see our families, and now we're bringing families of our own, but always make time for a Holiday One-Shot. This year, they are going to be absolutely blown away!

What a great was to give back to the community. Best of luck to everyone.

This marine crane is the first model I have ever modeled from scratch, print and paint! This feels like total freedom to me :D I’ve spent 3 months on this project in small steps when I need some sane time in this crazy pandemic time of my life 😊

This is a fantastic competition, a great way to support and give back to the community. Thank you for this!

Just found your channel through a recommendation! This is beyond generous and a great way to get new people into the hobby :)

This is awesome! Thanks for all the work you do for this community!!

I'm still fairly new to 3d printing, but this goblin is the first mini i have ever printed, and the first one i have ever painted. It holds a special place in my heart as the single thing that made me start this hobby. Now each evening i sit down and paint any minis i printed.

Thanks for doing this! You guys always blow it out of the park with what you do.

This has been quite a year for my family and this could make such a huge, huge impact on our lives. Good luck everyone!

Yall are so awesome!! Thank yall for doing this!

In 2010 my grandfather passed away after having suffered his 2nd stroke. He was the first person to introduce me to tabletop games, comics, and his love of eating good food. He invoked my love for miniatures of all types. We would spend some evenings drawing and playing games for hours. I started my D&D Game in memory of him. This game gave me the strength to battle my tumor last year. He always wanted to travel, as a merchant he will be able to travel all kinds of fantastic worlds, and maybe meet some Heroes along the was.

This is so amazing! What a blessing to our community.

This mini belonged to one of the servant of the main antagonist of my sibling’s campaign. For months in-game and IRL she hunted the players down relentlessly, and they threw back all her hits twice as hard every time she caught up to them. This prints represent our perseverance, through pain and trials, both in-game and in real life, that we all went through and overcame through determination and companionship.

For years, I’ve wanted to do something artistic; paint, play an instrument, work wood... something. Alas, I seemed to lack skill or aptitude. Recently, I got into 3d printing, and painting minis. Painting this owlbear is the first artistic thing I've done that wasn't terrible and I was proud of, giving me confidence to continue in this wonderful hobby, and fulfil my need to get arty.

This is Awesome! Great to see everybody growing the community, and the hobby heading in a good direction. You guys are great and thank you so much for what you do.

Thank you for putting this all together, looking at all the different artist pages now.

THIS IS AWESOME ! GL Yall and props to the sponsors models and every1 involved!

Love you giving back to the community! Awesome!!

Very cool! The contest is incredibly fair and super generous! All the attached minis from the link are cool.

Thank you for running such an awesome channel. I only discovered it a few weeks ago, but have been binge watching it as I have just started looking for a resin 3D printer to print miniatures. I had no idea how huge 3D printing has become, and to see the list of amazingly talented artists for miniatures is fantastic. I've bookmarked most of them!! It's a whole new world! :)

These prints are the hero and two villains of my first homebrew 5e campaign. Having figures to write a story helped me nourish the artistic side of myself. 3D printing caught my eye but I've now gotten into DMing, miniature painting and even terrain building! Your channel was the first step into this wonderful community and 3D printing helps me share my love for this hobby.

I love seeing KZreadrs putting in so much effort to thank their viewers.

This is amazing. The excitement of starting to 3D print was what helped me get thorough one of the scariest times in my life.

This is incredible. Awesome idea and prizes. Thank you for taking care of the community!

I designed this file with my nephew. I 3D print them, install flush magnets in the back, and paint them different colors. Then I put them in public places like stop signs around my neighborhood. A note on the back says “Move me or Take me.” It’s so great to see them move around or be taken. It spreads a little joy and adds some more fun to the world.

Awesome stuff! Glad to see this type of thing out there to introduce more people into the world of 3D printing! Keep up the great content, love your stuff!

Heck yeah. Glad to be apart of your kick starter. I was watching your videos for a year while dreaming of getting a 3d printer

Always enjoy your enthusiasm to grow the entire community!

This Is amazing! I just discovered your page. I have been looking to get into the community for years and have finally decided to take the plunge, but not sure where to start.

Getting back into the hobby after almost 20 years was a big thing to me. This building was one of the first things i actually finished. And it really helped me to get back into enjoying painting again.

Thank you so much for doing this! Love your content and submitting now!

Thank you for giving back to the community.

Freaking awesome channel and awesome contest. I stumbled upon you with the contest on a blog. Staying for the channel!!

Awesome. I've been learning so much about 3d Printers even though we don't have one yet. Really love watching your channel.

This is fantastic! Not going to “enter” as I’d rather see someone get into the community that isn’t part of it already. Also, I’m happy to see you making videos again. Cheers!

It's things like this that make me love this community.

This was actually a near perfect representation of my own character in a video game, a game that im currently making a boardgame of, and it was the first print that i made and it didnt turn out great but i keep it as a reminder that creating a game is not an easy task but a lot of trial and errors. And it keeps me motivated!

I wanted to start printing minis and this one is the first step I made into the hobbi of collecting, printing and painting minis, also I get the inspiritation for one of your videos. I was so happy when I finally painted the first mini I got! so thank you too for getting me into this!

This is amazing, just as I was starting to look into the 3D printing community too!

holy moly, this is such a great thing for the 3d printing community. Well done Danny and others! :)

This brave Dragonborn warrior was the 3D print that inspired my daughter's first Tabletop RPG character. Not only great at slicing Giants Scorpions clean in half, this model has a way of bringing fathers and daughters together. She calls him “Blue” after the Jurassic Park Raptor. He is now destined for countless dangerous adventures in the future. We look forward to spending more bonding time learning how to paint it.

My girlfriend is an artist who works in esoteric materials. Having a 3D printer has allowed her to bring her ideas to life, to realize things that would otherwise be financially or materially impossible. 3D printing literally make her dreams a reality, and I can not express what amazing things that means to both of us!

I chose these Manuel Boria's trolls because I love his style. They're very whimsical, reminding me of Justin Gerard's illustrations, and of Jim Henson's work on favorites from my childhood: The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and Fraggle Rock. I paint miniatures because it's therapeutic for me at the end of the day, imagining the world that these figures live in, and what they might be doing.

This is awesome. Will try and record something later today!

One of my players was really good at remembering most of the stats for 3.5 edition monsters and this giant scarecrow was the first mini that inspired me to homebrew an actual set of stats for. Seeing his face when I popped this on the field and he had no idea what it would do was the highlight of that campaign.

I love this collapsible dice tower because it was the first successful multi-part print I ever made and it took some patience and problem solving help from the community to make it work.

Kairen was first a side character of a story I write, based of an universe I created. She was supposed to disappear after the first chapter, but I decided to bring her back. She quickly became a main character, my favourite one actually, because of her huge background and developement and many designs I made. Then, it was easy to insert her into a campaign with my friends.

So stoked for this! Thank you for the opportunity, brother!

Danny this is a great thing you did! Kudos!!!

This model was my very first print out of the box and has since become my 3D printing mascot. Looking at It, is a reminder of how far I’ve come in the hobby and no matter how bad a print might turn out, I can always do better. There’s always room to grow.

Catan was introduced to me by my parents and caused me to fall in love with board games. Fast-forward 20 years to my first 3d print, I printed & painted an entire 3d Catan board for them. Thousands of my hours have gone into this hobby, coming full circle as I work on my own Catan set. This tile reminds me of them and my journey in 3d printing/painting.

Great job on the new kickstarter, it looks great!

I've just started 3D printing and I'm hooked! I've always loved art and sculpture and this is just another way for me to do it! This is my first big print! It took almost 40 hours to print it then put it together and I still need to paint it! I can't wait to create more!

I've recently gotten into painting to help calm down my anxiety and have been wanting to try out 3D printing, but it can get a bit costly. These Neo Crusader Mandalorians would be awesome to include in tabletop roleplaying games and scenarios.

This was the first miniature my 10 year old daughter painted. She wanted it printed and painted as a gift for her music teacher at school. I am so proud of her for working so hard on it. Her teacher was blown away. She had never received a gift like this before from a student!

This was my first large multipart print that I had to put together and used in one of my games as a piece of terrain as well as the added benefit of being a dice tower. This piece really added to the game that I ran with it as a center piece and it inspired me to print more terrain pieces since then to further enrich my groups games.

😍 stumbled upon this, wow this is going to be awesome!

This simple adaptor single handedly allowed me to do video chat with my friends over the last year. I have gotten an immense amount of use out of it and would not have been able to mount my phone to play card and board games and to show off the stuff I've been working on. It really cemented just how useful the printer could be.

This is such an nice way in the spirit of how i got to know the Tabletop and 3D printing Comunity, everyone, with every skillset ist welcome.

My family runs a family resource/play center and we had a Super Hero Camp for some kids on the spectrum and others who’ve experienced trauma in life. They created their own heroes and powers they would have. I wanted to surprise the kids, so I designed and printed out hero medallions they could paint and wear based on their heroes. The kids loved them and I loved seeing their reactions.

Congrats on the Kickstarter and good luck to the competition entrants.

Thanks for giving back!!!

A great way to promote and give back to the community.

Thank you for your contest, will help alot of peoples

My favorite 3D print is the button panel on my homemade jukebox. It was the first 3d print I took from concept to thing.

this is a awesome contest !! look forward to entering

My most meaningful 3d print was my custom Heroforge model "KirsCarbon". He was my first ever STL purchase and printed miniature I ever made. It was also the first time I realized I can make my dream from my middle school years a reality with my friend, by making physical models from our stories a reality. Ever since I learned how to 3d model and print files.

just left my entry! thanks for doing this everyone!

This is a print that I did for my seniors as a give away at the senior home I work at. The 3d printer, the slicer, and Thingiverse blew their minds! I did the class two days in a row and had multiple people come back to hear it again!

Thank you for amazing initiative

I am a high school teacher and also a mentor for its robotics team. Since joining the team, I’ve been amazed at what the students accomplish in these competitions and that’s why I use my personal 3D printing to make props for the students or help them by printing functional pieces to use on their robot. I’ll keep on doing this to further motivate them!

This is one of the first things I printed and painted. My daughter loves it an trots it around everywhere. I'm amazed at where I find it some time. Most importantly, it was the print that started her being interested in making and printing things. From then on she asks, 'Can we make that?' ' Can we print that?'

Just stumbled onto these guys and damn this is some cool stuff! Subscribed.

For my 12 year old son - I would print this model first because he is my dragonborn barbarian in a d&d campaign with my friends. It would be cool to have a physical version of my character so that battles are more immersive and fun. It would be really cool to print minis for everyone playing and for the monsters, instead of random bits of paper.

This is a cockatrice that I made for my D&D group. They love seeing the creatures on the table. But my favorite thing about this print is when my daughter said, “I love your chicken-dragon, Dad!” Now she is always asking me, “How are the prints coming?” and “What can we print next!?” 3D printing has sparked her imagination and creativity. That’s my favorite part about this wonderful hobby.

The past year I have been stuck working from home. This has given me the ability to monitor my 3d printer, but also an outlet for creativity. I recently printed this Mondoshawan who said "time not important only life important." Time has gone by slow during this time, but I am healthy, I am alive, I am employed, and not everyone has been that lucky.

Great news! Thanks a lot!

Printing has really opened up a creative avenue that I gave up on years ago due to the cost and lack of variety in reaper/GW models. I've now broken into terrain printing and the video on what you should and shouldn't print that Danny did with BMC was a great watch that I still reflect on before every print! Thanks for all you do!

This specific project is the most meaningful one to me, because it was my first ever creation and beggining of the great adventure with 3d printing :) I designed it myself, without using any references and only with few months of knowledge and practice in zbrush. It was supposed to be a boss-like character in my D&D Campaign. Archvillain which was hiding behind a skull mask and used a sword with bone handle, coming back at my players every few meetings.

Been following for some background in 3d printers because my son wants a printer. Love the work you do.

Any updates, on his contest? I ask because I have saved up money for a printer, and with sales going on...I don't want o miss an opportunity, and I don't want to spend the money and then find out I won. Thank you!

This is awesome!, even if I don't win anything major I think I'm more excited to find out about a bunch of creators I probably wouldn't have ever found of otherwise.

Really cool contest, love everything about it.

The iconic “Green devil face” from dungeon module S1 The Tomb of Horrors is one of my favorite and most remembered images from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. Finding the STL and having it printed up, and then painting it, was a joy for me. Making Gary Gygax’s famous adventure come alive in 3d on the tabletop as I tell both his stories and mine is my fondest wish.

Well this was my first D&D print.. Over the last year I lost my job and needed a creative outlet and started FDM printing, painting and playing D&D. I honestly started not knowing how much I would end up LOVEing this as an hobby! I know I have a long way to go when it comes to painting and there is so much to learn when it comes to printing, but the time spent seems to be super enjoyable - and looking at this first mini brings a smile to my face!

Thank you 3D Printed Tabletop for creating the contest and for getting me into the hobby years ago!

(Love your videos and just want to say you were the inspiration for me to buy my 3D printer. I even used your videos to help me choose which one and get the settings from a video you did, so thank you Danny!) I chose my print because it was the first one that I was confident in my painting enough to show it to friends. It was where all of the different painting tips/tricks finally came together. 3D printing is something that has to constantly be worked on and honed like the craft it is, and I've loved every minute of it!

This is Aram. He’s my first ever print and the first NPC I wrote for my first campaign. This campaign got me through the worst of my depression, gave me something to look forward to when I had nothing else. Soon, it ends. Soon, Aram dies. But his mini will remain, symbol of my greatest passion and the betterment of my mental health… in all his bright, hideous orange glory.

This is great! I have always loved what a friend of mine could achieve with his 3d printer & I would love to boost my D&D experience with this!

Looking forward to the results!

This Elf bust is my current most meaningful print, It is where I got to learn a little bit about supports and when it came out of the Resin printer it had been soo silky smooth looking like a person. I have not been able to paint it yet as I have been trying to master the 3d printer in my about 2 weeks of owning one.

This is wonderful. I've wanted to get started into 3d printing for a while but have been reluctant to purchase a 3d printer not knowing which one to get.

The first session of D&D I played was subbing in for someone; that character was stuck in a pit with an unknown monster while the party tried to get them out. I remember in vivid detail the way the DM described this creature creeping out of a crack in the wall, perched atop broken stone, staring at me with one huge eye. A Nothic- a creature I've loved ever since.
