3D PRINTABLE TERRAIN KICKSTARTERS – April 2018
One of the great things about our 3D printers, is the 3D terrain we can create. This is one of the primary reasons I purchased a 3D printer. Without high-quality files with which to print, the printers are kind of useless. I’m going to be listing Kickstarters by the time left in their campaigns. If I missed any, please let me know. You can find these companies and more in our 3D Terrain directory. Finally, if you are looking at getting into printing terrain, check out this guide on getting your first 3D Printer.

Townsfolke
This Kickstarter has finished. This Kickstarter is optimized to make 3D Printable miniatures, using an FDM printer. Conventional miniatures do not print well on FDM printers, but specific models can be optimized for FDM printers. Ill Gotten Games is known for the terrific and prolific creation of STL files for print, and like his other Kickstarters, these look great.

Printable Board Game Token Organizers for Zombicide Black Plague
This Kickstarter has finished. This is a different Kickstarter that is for board games. In this instance, it is Zombicide: Black Plague. It is some trays to help organize the game box.

This Kickstarter has finished. This is Hayland Terrain’s latest Kickstarter showing modern tiles and terrain for your gaming table. From the garage to a supermarket, to plants and then on to stretch goals. There is also a Universal Tile upgrade, on top of the main modern terrain Kickstarter.
