1:100 to 32mm Miniature Scale for 3D Printing
Convert 3D printed tabletop miniatures from 1:100 to 32mm. This STL scale calculator is designed for Warhammer, D&D, and tabletop gaming miniatures.

The math
(32.0mm / 17.5mm) × 100 = 182.9%
Based on 175cm human baseline, eye-level measurement (160cm).
Scale baselines
- Source eye level 16.0mm Eye
- Target eye level 32.0mm Eye
- Scale factor 182.9%
When you need this
You need this when bringing older or smaller 1:100 models into a modern 32mm collection. This is a big upscale. Models will look like different species next to each other unless you apply the conversion to the entire unit or army.
Source: 1:100
1:100 is the micro-armor / mass-battle standard. Used for large tank battles and regiment-level games where table space is limited. Figures are approximately 15mm tall. A single A4 sheet of terrain can represent an entire battlefield. Common systems: Flames of War, Team Yankee, 15mm wargaming.
Note: 1:100 and 15mm are often used interchangeably, but 15mm can mean 15mm to the eyes or 15mm total height. Our calculator uses eye-level baselines to eliminate ambiguity.
Target: 32mm
32mm is used by Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Infinity. Games Workshop shifted from 28mm to 32mm between 2014 and 2015 for more facial detail and heroic proportions. Non-GW sculptors often call this 'heroic 32mm' because limbs and weapons are slightly oversized.
Note: Some third-party sculptors label 35mm models as '32mm heroic.' Check eye-level measurement, not total height.
Print notes
Set your slicer to 182.9%. 32mm is forgiving on FDM; layer lines are less visible on larger surfaces.
