1:35 to 32mm Miniature Scale for 3D Printing

Convert 3D printed tabletop miniatures from 1:35 to 32mm. This STL scale calculator is designed for Warhammer, D&D, and tabletop gaming miniatures.

Uniform scale (XYZ locked)

The math

(32.0mm / 50.0mm) × 100 = 64.0%

Based on 175cm human baseline, eye-level measurement (160cm).

Scale baselines

  • Source eye level 45.7mm Eye
  • Target eye level 32.0mm Eye
  • Scale factor 64.0%

When you need this

You need this when fitting oversized 1:35 heroes or monsters into a smaller 32mm regiment, or when printing 1:35 STL files for a 32mm game system. This downscale is noticeable but manageable. Most painters bridge the gap with basing detail, posture adjustments, or custom base rims.

Source: 1:35

1:35 is the military model kit standard. A true ratio scale, not a 'gaming scale.' A 1:35 human is approximately 50mm tall to the top of the head and 45.7mm to the eyes. Vehicles and armor dominate this scale. Common systems: Tamiya, Trumpeter, MiniArt.

Note: 1:35 figures from different manufacturers can vary by plus or minus 2mm due to nationality and era differences in uniform and equipment.

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 64.0%. 32mm is forgiving on FDM; layer lines are less visible on larger surfaces.
