Where do you get your minis?
Added 2021-08-18 23:01:52 +0000 UTCBesides MyMiniFactory or Patreon is there any other size you regularly use to buy/download minis?

2021-08-19 20:35:14 +0000 UTCI use cults for 40k related stuff; seems to be the go-to place for that sorta model

I never care nearly as much about the store as the sculpt. The key for STL sales is probably more about SEO than the perfect distributor. If I have a choice, I’ll pick a route that the artist gets more of the sale price, where that is transparent.

2021-08-19 11:22:53 +0000 UTCKickstarter (and patreon) whenever I see something interesting. For (almost) everything else I use yeggi.com which is a multi-site search engine for 3D models, free and commercial.

2021-08-19 07:54:36 +0000 UTCMostly MMF, on account of that having the most artists/content. After that probably gumroad for the few random artists I can only find there, and Thingiverse for free stuff.

2021-08-19 02:19:24 +0000 UTCHave used DriveThruRPG, Gumroad & CGtrader, but the reality is it is now overwhelmingly MMF.

2021-08-19 01:29:16 +0000 UTCSTLs from Patreon, MMF, Thingiverse, Kickstarter, Minihoarder (mostly KS delivery), DriveThruRPG and Gumroad, occasionally Humble Bundle. Traditional physical minis from Reaper and others

Joshua Love
2021-08-19 00:12:59 +0000 UTCThingiverse for when I want a simple model or pieces to mix and match, Kickstarter for big comprehensive sets (like Lost Adventures or Skies of Sordane), and I used to use HeroForge, but my collection from various Patreons is so large now I can find a close fit for almost anything I'd need.

2021-08-19 00:06:08 +0000 UTCI've been around a handful of places. MMF, Cults3d, and thingiverse for minis usually. CGtrader and Gumroad for figurines. Yeggi mostly for a sort of search engine for finding things. Patreon for various, obviously.

2021-08-18 23:38:14 +0000 UTCthis. there's like 8 sites i download from (outside of patreon), cuz patreons store them everywhere
Dwayne Hinton
2021-08-18 23:29:29 +0000 UTCFor 3d printing, gumroad, thingiverse, Cults3D, Yeggi, other Patreons For physical figures, Reaper and Darksword Miniatures

2021-08-18 23:19:04 +0000 UTCBesides MMF I use gumroad and thingiverse. I've also backed a couple STL packages on Kickstarter. I browse Cgtrader and cults3d but never find what I'm looking for there.

2021-08-18 23:15:52 +0000 UTCI do buy a decent number of STL sets from Kickstarter-- but I suspect that's not quite what you're asking!

2021-08-18 23:07:48 +0000 UTCCults3D is the only other site besides Patreon and MMF that I regularly get minis from.

2021-08-18 23:05:43 +0000 UTCI've picked up a couple from CG Trader
Gallivanter Minis
2021-08-18 23:05:30 +0000 UTCCGtrader and Gumroad are two that I have also purchased from. But, I have seen several artists who use them also start using MMF. And one Patreon I am on has their own storefront as well, but itch.io is used for fulfilment.
