Miniatures Customizer Explained by The Printing Goes Ever On

December 16, 2020

Presenting the modular mini customizer with pre-supported bits export! Check how it works HERE!
As I know it can be a little confusing, so I’m listing some frequently asked questions:


1. What’s your customizer about and how does it work?
2. Why it’s a huge time-save?
3. If we back the Patreon and after a few months stop will we still have access to the customizer and whatever files were in the months we backed?
4. How many minis can I export?
5. Are the minis pre-supported?
6. What bits are there to choose from currently?
7. Is the base fused to the model in the merged export option?
8. Will you expand the customizer with new models?
9. How often will the customizer be expanded?
10. Does the customizer have all The Printing Goes Ever On minis in it?
11. Will I get a ZIP file with all the files so I don’t have to use the customizer?

Why a good miniatures presupporting is so important: Pre-supported Miniatures Benefits

Use those pre-supported bits to create one of over million combinations!

What’s your customizer about and how does it work?

It’s a web application, available here: https://www.theprintinggoeseveron.com/customizer.

You can configure a miniature with different poses, heads, weapons, accessories, cloaks, mounts and bases.

To unlock the exporting functions, you need to acquire the chosen Faction bundle. You can do that by purchasing it in our store: https://www.theprintinggoeseveron.com/product-category/customizer-bundles/ or by supporting us on Patreon during a launch month of a new Customizer bundle faction.

Why it’s a huge time-save?

If you ever planned on printing a large number of minis, for example a host of NPCs for a D&D session or an warband for your skirmish of choice, or even a regular Warhammer, MESBG or OPR army, then you know the pain of picking the modular bits and slicing them. You need to choose the correct bodies and weapons, plus keep track of what you mirrored and such.

With the awesome pre-supported bits export option, you can get a zip file with the ready-for-print bits and just drag them into your slicer. Zero trouble and no need to keep a spreadsheet!

If we back the Patreon and after a few months stop will we still have access to the customizer and whatever files were in the months we backed?

YES! You subbed and acuired the files, thus it’s only fair you can use them to their full potential regardless of remaining a Patron.

I’m supporting you on MMF Tribes. How will I get access to the app?

You will receive a special download code to redeem the bundle in our store. You will find the code in your downloads.

How many minis can I export?

Unlike using some popular custom mini makers, using mine you can export as many models as you please! You have millions of configurations to choose from!

Are the minis pre-supported?

All the bits that make up a mini are pre-supported (amazing work, Heydash Workshop!). If you export a merged model, it will not be pre-supported. However, the plus side is, you can open the mesh in Meshmixer, use Edit>Separate Shells and adjust each part as you please! A tutorial on how to do this can be found on Slice Print Roleplay’s YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/sJiyUvsUvt8

What bundles are there to choose from currently?

Is the base fused to the model in the merged export option?

It’s not! I know how irritating it can be with printing HeroForge models, so I decided it’s gonna be exported separately for your convinience. And, as mentioned in the previous point, you can edit the pieces after export too.

Will you expand the customizer with new models?

Yes, there have been Customizer sets coming at a steady rate every 3-6 months for the past 3 years and we have lots of more factions and minis to show in this modular form.

How often will the customizer be expanded?

Modular bundles are published every three-six months.

Does the customizer have all The Printing Goes Ever On minis in it?

Nope, it’s full of modular-only minis, which are prepared for use within the app and ready for manual assembly.

Our standard non-modular minis make up the majority of the collection and can be found in the usual Chapters or Stories here: https://www.theprintinggoeseveron.com/product-category/full-bundles/

Will I get a ZIP file with all the files so I don’t have to use the customizer?

Yup, you get one, big, pre-compressed ZIP file with all the models from that bundle.

I downloaded the ZIP file with all the assets, but I can’t find left handed weapons!

To save on hard drive space, the ZIP file has only right hand weapons. You can mirror them (even the pre-supported files!) in your slicer before printing.

Of course, if you export bits from the web app, you get every asset correctly mirrored for plug&play printing.
