Create Your Own Medieval Setting With 3D Printable Terrain On Kickstarter
December 9, 2015 by deltagamegirl22
The fine creators of Printablescenery.com have brought forth a beautiful collection of 3D prinable terrain on Kickstarter...
...the WINTERDALE: Medieval Fantasy Citadel Collection For 28mm.
Winterdale is a lovely, modular fantasy collection that can be downloaded and printed on a 3D printer. With the pieces being modular, every reward level offers you additional terrain that you can mix and match to create different buildings and walls in your fantasy city.
Every reward level higher that you pledge gives you access to different stretch goals as the project funds.Winterdale currently offers four different reward levels: The Hamlet, The Tower, The Citadel and The Castle- each more lovely than the one before!
With the price of 3D printers slowly coming down, these kinds of projects are making more and more sense, allowing gamers a tremendous opportunity to expand their terrain collections.
Have you considered using a 3D printer for terrain? Have you tried it?

althought 3D printed terrain or kits may seem like a good idea, ppl keep forgetting 3D material aren’t reliable in time most of them tend to loose between 10-15% of their original size over 3 years, this may cause warps and bending. that’s why i dont trust anything 3d for now, but as the material progress so would the printers and the quality of the printed objects
Didn’t know any of this, so thank you! Doesn’t mean I’m now put off 3D but this kind of info is essential to make an informed decision 😉
I don’t think that 3D printed terrain in any volume is practical at the moment but printing individual items and casting maybe the way to go. Its what I would do.
Fat Dragon (Tom Tullis) did a KS for dungeon and cavern 3D models recently too.

Not sure where those shrinkage figure come from jakingo.
Plastic shrinkage is well recorded and known. Abs is 1-2% and is therefore negligible especially as all parts you print would shrink similarly.
I have printed many tanks with separate turrets and they fit together perfectly.
I have also printed a 73 part titanic robot that went together as well as any resin version.
3d printing is def the future and even now can add a lot to a modellers hobby if it suits their needs.

looks good but don’t have or know where to use a 3d printer.
They look good to me, and at the reduced cost of 3D printing any small shrinkage (and it is small) does not bother me at all – hell I can print out more for a fraction of the cost of buying a resin building, and anyway, even damaged buildings will become useful on the table top. (Just hope the wife doesn’t realise that I am painting houses, etc. – it might give her ideas about me painting using larger brushes and rollers on our house. LOL)
That stuff looks great! Shame I don’t have a 3D printer, or know where I could find one to borrow. I wonder how much it was cost to print out all those parts needed (either at home or at a commercial 3D printer).
Thanks for checking out our Kickstarter. I can understand your concerns about 3D printing but we have 100’s of people downloading and printing our models and as yet haven’t had any complaints. ABS doesn’t shrink that I have noticed, even if it did, you would most likely be printing new models out within a year or two anyway. 3D Printing is a but like painting models, You have to be into it to enjoy it. Its quite a buzz to print something out and set to work painting it. Its kind of another level on the hobby. I dream of… Read more »
