Resin Printing vs Home Printing: How to Get Your 3D Figurine

Once your figurine is generated on Minivatar, you have two options: order a professional resin print or download the file to print it at home. Each option has its advantages, and the right choice depends on your needs.

Professional Resin Printing

Our resin printing service delivers a ready-to-display figurine with exceptional detail.

Advantages:

Superior detail quality thanks to high-precision resin
Colors directly integrated into the model
No equipment needed on your end
Delivery within 10 days

Available sizes:

54mm starting at €18: collection format, ideal for your desk
110mm starting at €31: the best size-to-detail ratio
200mm starting at €45: an imposing piece for display cases

Home Printing with OBJ File

If you own a 3D printer, you can download the OBJ file with its textures and handle everything yourself.

Advantages:

Lower cost if you already have the equipment
Total freedom over size and scale
Ability to reprint as many times as you want
You can hand-paint your figurine

What you should know:

A resin printer (SLA/MSLA) will give better results than FDM
The Simplified render is optimized for home printing
Post-processing (washing, UV curing) is required for resin

Our Recommendation

Beginner without a printer → order the resin print, it's turnkey
Equipped maker → download the file and have fun
You want to give a gift → professional printing guarantees a flawless result
You want to test → start with the OBJ file to see the result

Whatever your choice, your figurine will be unique! Create it now and pick the delivery method that works for you.
