Top 20 Best-Selling 3D Prints — Quick Table
| # | Product | Why it sells (quick) | Design tips & materials |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tabletop Miniatures / Hero Figures | Consistent demand from RPG & wargame players; collectors buy variants. | Resin for detail; hollow/escape holes; hollow at 2–3mm walls; supports carefully placed. |
| 2 | Modular Terrain Tiles & Scenery | Reusable, mix-and-match terrain is top for DMs & painters. | Snap connectors, consistent grid sizing, durable PLA+ or PETG for larger tiles. |
| 3 | Dice Towers & Dice Trays | Practical + decorative — great upsell with mini orders. | FDM or resin; smooth interior surfaces; textured exteriors for aesthetic appeal. |
| 4 | Token / Counter Sets | Board gamers want themed token sets for mechanics & status. | Small, precise tolerances; consider multi-part prints for two-tone effects. |
| 5 | Display Bases / Stands | Almost every miniature sale includes a base purchase. | Textured bases, insert holes for magnets; use resin for detail or PLA for bulk. |
| 6 | Custom Dice (themed / novelty) | Collectors & players buy themed sets as gifts. | Polishable resins or castable molds; allow for post-processing steps. |
| 7 | Tray Inserts / Storage Solutions | Gamers want neat storage for expansions & miniatures. | Thin walls, precise slot tolerances; durable PETG or ASA for longevity. |
| 8 | Token Holders / Organizers | Simple, low-cost purchases that improve play speed. | Stackable design; tolerances crucial for sliding parts. |
| 9 | Initiative / Turn Trackers | Useful in RPGs and tabletop games — repeat buyers for sets. | Readable numerics, magnet or clip options; small and quick to print. |
| 10 | Terrain Accessories (rocks, pillars, ruins bits) | Low cost, high variety — people buy many small pieces to mix & match. | Batch print multiples; use textured stamps for variety. |
| 11 | Character Tokens / Novelty Mini Tokens | Event-driven purchases and themed drops perform well. | Stylized designs; bright paints; resin for crisp detail. |
| 12 | Spell / Status Markers | Small, low-cost items — great as add-ons. | Flat prints, consider color chemistry for contrast. |
| 13 | Map & Grid Overlays | Useful for hybrid digital/physical play — practical and recurring. | Thin flexible materials or transparent resins for overlays. |
| 14 | Custom Shop Signs / Logo Plaques | Event booths & online sellers use these to brand products. | Embossed text; large flat prints; PLA+ or PETG for durability. |
| 15 | Utility Clips & Themed Desk Gadgets | Cross-niche appeal — gamers buy desk accessories, too. | Snap fits; test tolerances; PETG for flexibility. |
| 16 | Print & Play Token Packs | Game designers selling PnP use these as low barrier products. | Standardized sizes; keep files clean for home printers. |
| 17 | Wall-mounted Dice Racks / Displays | Collectors & streamers like display pieces for social proof. | Geometric shelves; minimize support; use aesthetic finishes. |
| 18 | Loot Chests / Mini Storage Boxes | Functional, giftable, and attractive as bundles with minis. | Test hinges; use snap or pin systems; shell thickness matters. |
| 19 | Sliding / Rotating Initiative Trackers | Novel mechanics and tactile satisfaction sell well. | Small moving parts need tight tolerances; consider nylon inserts. |
| 20 | Printer / Hobby Tools & Maintenance Accessories | Buyers usually need spatulas, part catchers and tool jigs — steady sellers. | Simple prints, functional geometry; focus on fit and strength. |
Quick tip: The top sellers are a mix of high-detail resin items (miniatures & tokens) and quick FDM prints (organizers, trays). Selling both types — or offering finishing services — lets you capture more orders.
Deep dive: design & material suggestions (convert more orders)
If you want higher conversion and fewer production headaches, keep these practical notes in mind:
- Offer material guidance. Tell buyers when to choose resin (detail) vs PLA/PETG (durability/price).
- Provide print time & price ranges. A simple price table on each product page reduces friction and increases add-to-cart rates.
- Include finishing options. Bundle painting, priming, or varnish as upsells — many buyers prefer a ready-to-use model.
- Hollow where possible. Hollowing reduces material cost and can be marketed as an eco and price benefit.
- Offer a “fast print” SKU. Low infill, minimal supports, and quick turnaround for customers who want stuff fast (charge a rush fee).
Example price buckets (ballpark): small token £2–£6; miniature £8–£20; terrain tile £12–£50 depending on size and finish.

FAQ
Q: Can you print any of the items on this list for me?
A: Yes — Quantum Filament 3D prints many of these items. Request a quote and/or send us your STL and we’ll send a turnaround time and price within 24 hours.
Q: How should I price items if I want to sell on Etsy or my store?
A: Factor in material, machine time, labour (finishing/painting), packaging, fees, and profit margin. Our recommended minimum margin for small tabletop items is 2.5× cost for marketplaces to cover fees and labour.
Q: Are custom prints profitable?
A: Absolutely — customisation (names on can holders, themed dice, limited-run minis) commands higher prices and repeat buyers. Offer personalization as a premium SKU.
