3D Printed Miniatures Challenge

Ironically, the 3D printed miniatures market is huge and continues to grow at meteoric speed. It's a hit, because it makes the journey from fantasy concepts, favorite games, movies or books one step closer to reality. You wake up one morning with a vivid mental image of a great warrior, far-far-away-land princess or a dream motorcycle firmly fixed in your mind, and by the time you go back to sleep, you can have it comfortably sitting on your bedside table. It's no magic, it's 3D printing.

By rolling out the 3D Printable Miniatures challenge, we want to invite you to step into the world where everything is possible. Share the 3D concept designs of everything and anything that makes your blood rush. What are you passionate about? Cars, motorcycles, architecture, art, abstract, fantasy, memes? Hit us with your most extravagant and extraordinary visions and receive generous rewards from us and our partners: 3Doodlers by 3Doodler, Filaments by 3D Filaprint and Extrudr, credits and promotional features by CGTrader.

Take a part in the challenge and surprise us!

Frequently Asked Questions

Please go through these questions before contacting us

Do I need to upload files or only images of my 3D design?

You need to upload files and images of your 3D design in order to participate in the challenge.

I don't want to put my entry model for sale. Do you have any suggestions?

Does earning money from your digital files sounds like a bad idea? Just try to put higher price on it, let's say 300 USD.

I don't want to loose copyrights on my model after it is sold.

There are General, Editorial and Custom licenses for you to choose under which you want to operate. Individuals or companies which bought your model can't use it for commercial purposes if it hasn't been changed. So no worries - you won't loose the copyright.

How can I participate in the challenge?

Design awesome 3D model for 3D Printed Miniatures Challenge and upload it to CGTrader.

What if I put the required tag on my already published 3D model on CGTrader - do you treat it as a valid entry?

No. Only 3D models uploaded in the period from the 25th of February to the 27th of April 2015 will be treated as valid entries.

Do free 3D models participate in the challenge?

Yes, absolutely. Sharing artwork is always appreciated in the community.

Can I enter with 3D models which participated in other challenges elsewhere?

Yes. There are no restrictions on publishing and selling your models elsewhere.

Do price tags play any importance when entries are being judged?

No. But do not forget that the prices are always judged by the customers.

I want to participate in the challenge so I am going to delete my already uploaded models and upload them again to meet the "publishing period" requirement. Can I do that?

No. We are tracking every deleted and uploaded model, so it is useless to drive-through our requirements of the challenge.
