If you like to personalize your miniatures to resemble your character inside of the game, this magnetic mage is the perfect solution. The model is split up into multiple pieces, with magnets holding them together. This allows you to seamlessly swap the head, arms, or torso to match with the gear that your character is currently wearing.

This type of print is best suited for a resin printer, which allows you to achieve the best detail you can on your miniatures. Post-processing is required, as you’ll have to insert the 2-mm diameter magnets and paint your figure before it’s ready for use. While this model is free, the designer does offer other miniatures that use this same modular design for a small price.

Elves are probably present in almost every D&D party. And yes, an elf ranger is a bit of a cliché, but it’s a cliché because it works. They have beauty, they have grace, and they’ll shoot an arrow in your face.

The creator originally printed the model using a DLP printer, but most users have printed it with an FDM printer in PLA. They do suggest using high-resolution settings, otherwise the details won’t shine through and the model will look like a blob. Also, don’t forget to activate supports.

With the amount of detail the designer has added to these models, it would only make sense to print them using resin for the best results.

This is from the same designer who made a couple of previous items on this list. Their offerings on Printables are slightly different from the ones on Thingiverse, so it’s worth checking out both sites to get a full idea of what they’ve designed.

Two words: psionic powers. The illithids are monstrous humanoid aberrations that hone the power of psionics. They’re called mind flayers for a reason! These scheming creatures are often plotting against other races that they see as inferior and consider themselves above other life forms.

Originally, Tortles were considered monsters – that is, until players began creating characters using this race. These figures should suit both purposes just fine. Designer StormCrow13 puts a lot of detail into their many D&D models, and these Tortles are no exception. This particular model was based on the depiction of Tortles in Basic D&D Creature Codex, where it was first officially cataloged.

While not ideal due to the amount of detail in these models and the need for supports, one maker was able to print them using an FDM printer. You can also get a good-looking figure from a very minimal amount of paint on these models.

Yes, a manticore miniature! It’s said that the manticore has a vaguely humanoid head and the body of a lion as well as the wings of a dragon, though this version is definitely more lion than human in its face.

The spider is a creature usually found all over Faerûn. Some of these spiders in Dungeons & Dragons are large tarantula-like creatures that snare their prey in their webbing.

Others, like the hairy spider, are small yet deadly. After all, it infects its target with poisonous bites before proceeding to tear out chunks of flesh! Thankfully, 3D printed spiders are perfectly safe – or so we think.

Bestial giants that get angry easily, ogres are fun to mess with but usually better to avoid. Don’t count them out, though, they have layers, like an onion.

The original size is 54 mm because the creator mentions it’s easier to model that way. However, they recommend scaling down to 60% if you want to achieve the standard 28-mm size. Some users have printed in resin and some in FDM, with a layer height of up to 0.2 mm working well, but predictably, better results are achieved with less.
