GMG Reviews - 3d Printed on Demand models by Only Games

3D Printing has shifted production and possibility in the tabletop world in untold ways in the last twenty years. Today you can get models from hundreds of digital desigers, on demand, from print labs across the world. Only Games asked me to check out a selection of their models to see how I felt they held up to more traditional miniatures on the market. Let's go!

Thanks to Only Games/My Mini Factory for the complimentary models to review.

lord of the print is actually the name of the patreon that model is from, not the name of the model. they make good stuff

Ash "Flicky Fingers" Barker 👍 That's for this solid review.

Yeah really like seeing how companies have started up because of this accesible technolgy. We’ve come a long way from mail ordering lead minis out of Dragon Magazine.

We resemble but are legally distinct from the Tomb King guild! The Tomb King guild!

Ah, interesting - seen this crop up elsewhere and hadn't realised they were sending things all packaged up like this. As for your flick test methodology, I heartily approve - you may need to standardise your flicking settings between 'mild flicking', 'simulated tabletop wear and tear flicking' and 'aggressively trying to break this flicking' so we can judge the sturdiness or the model (and your finger). A whole new world of videos awaits - 'Does it Flick?'.

That's a nice way to get some 3d printed minis, I'm considering buying a 3D printer, but I don't have enough space to place it. Thank you for your review Ash

Ideal minis for Necropolis ( a free skirmish game by Peter Vigors which plays on a very small table and where everyone is an undead).

A few tips about removing supports--
Remove the supports before curing, but after washing.

Some people will place the prints in warm water, that leave water with resin in that needs to be properly disposed of. It's better to use a hairdryer to warm up the resin.

It was good to what the output from only-games was like. Decent review.

I didn't know this place was a thing. I've been looking at a few STLs I like but with no 3D printer, they are kinda a pipe dream.

I have placed a couple orders with them and it has been hit or miss. Some models are great, others have pitting where the supports were attached or layer lines and supports. I had a couple of tricky parts that didn't print correctly, looks like they tried it again and had the same issue so they shipped both failed prints in the box. Also you have to kind of ignore the text description and go by what they are showing for the 3d representation of the print file. I ordered a couple sets of models where it stated it came with 5 different models but 5x of the same base and they just sent 1 base because they just print the whole file 1 time. They just blindly print the files.
