1:35 to 35mm Miniature Scale for 3D Printing
Convert 3D printed tabletop miniatures from 1:35 to 35mm. This STL scale calculator is designed for Warhammer, D&D, and tabletop gaming miniatures.
Slicer Setting
Uniform scale (XYZ locked)
The math
(35.0mm / 50.0mm) × 100 = 70.0%
Based on 175cm human baseline, eye-level measurement (160cm).
Scale baselines
- Source eye level 45.7mm Eye
- Target eye level 35.0mm Eye
- Scale factor 70.0%
When you need this
You need this when fitting oversized 1:35 heroes or monsters into a smaller 35mm regiment, or when printing 1:35 STL files for a 35mm 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: 35mm
35mm is used by Star Wars: Legion (current), Kingdom Death, Scale 75. Popular with painters who want more canvas for freehand detail without entering true bust territory. Often sits between 32mm heroic and 40mm skirmish scales.
Note: 35mm is sometimes marketed as 'true 35mm' (realistic proportions) vs 'heroic 35mm' (exaggerated). Check before mixing.
Print notes
Set your slicer to 70.0%. FDM at 35mm benefits from a 0.2mm nozzle at 0.06mm layer height for faces.
