Last Sword Patreon

Patreon is a membership platform that provides business tools for content creators to run a subscription service and deliver exclusive content to its supporters. By subscribing to Last Sword Miniatures, your are entitled to receive a free Welcome Pack and the miniature pack released for the ongoing month (depending on the chosen tier). You can subscribe at https://www.patreon.com/lastswordminiatures.

Once you become a member, you will be charged the amount for your chosen tier. Patreon will charge you the same amount on the first of each month.

The miniatures will be released on a monthly basis between the 15th and 20th of the month.

We deliver our models through our website lastsword.com. Once your Patreon and lastsword.com accounts are linked, you should automatically receive your active subscriptions within 30 minutes (tutorial available at this page).

Definitely! Remember there is no need to claim your rewards. Once your accounts are linked, your models will always be there for you (for older models we are still working on assigning them).

Sorry, but currently we don’t offer a merchant license… Our models are for personal use only. You can read the full license at: https://www.patreon.com/posts/52050043.

Yes! At our online store you can find both Digital (presupposed and unsupported STL files) and Print On Demand products (shipping worldwide).

Miniatures & Files

When measuring humanoid figures, the standard practice is to measure the foot to eye distance in millimeters. Using this measurement, our human figures are sculpted to be 32mm in height. To maintain the same scale, our elf figures are sculpted to measure 34mm. This makes our miniatures compatible with most wargaming and tabletop miniatures on the market.

The files include the unsuported and pre-supported (Chitubox) versions of the miniatures. Every single file is tested on Elegoo or Anycubic printers (free of charge and ensuring there are no problems).

We provide supports as a helpful guideline, and they should be used cautiously. They are not an absolute solution but rather a tool to assist you. Please remember that there are many factors in your individual setup that are beyond our control, and our ability to influence the outcome is limited.

We support the files manually to ensure the minimun amount of support material is used. Our supports use spheric contact shapes to reduce the possibility of leaving a mark on the miniature. Recommended printing settings will always be included along the files.

In addition to designing figures, we also sell them in physical format. We are one of the few brands that does not have commercial licenses.

This means that many of our models have been first-hand printed by us hundreds of times. When we discover a problem, or notice something fails more than expected, we fix it and update your files.

That’s why it’s advisable to always download your files before printing them. There’s a good chance they are more up-to-date than when they were first released.

As we’ve previously mentioned, we print hundreds of miniatures daily using these supports.

However, it’s important to understand that 3D printing involves numerous variables, and it’s impossible for us to guarantee success in every unique situation.

We provide supports as a helpful guideline, and they should be used cautiously. They are not an absolute solution but rather a tool to assist you. Please remember that there are many factors in your individual setup that are beyond our control, and our ability to influence the outcome is limited.

Our setup has evolved over time. Currently, it mainly consists of Anycubic M3 and Anycubic Photon 2 printers.

Keep this in mind if you are using larger printers. The resistance of the FEP in a larger format printer could be the cause of many failures.

Usually this is due to connection problems when downloading the files. Please try downloading them again one by one
