1:48 to 75mm Miniature Scale for 3D Printing
Convert 3D printed tabletop miniatures from 1:48 to 75mm. This STL scale calculator is designed for Warhammer, D&D, and tabletop gaming miniatures.

The math
(75.0mm / 36.5mm) × 100 = 205.7%
Based on 175cm human baseline, eye-level measurement (160cm).
Scale baselines
- Source eye level 33.3mm Eye
- Target eye level 75.0mm Eye
- Scale factor 205.7%
When you need this
You need this when bringing older or smaller 1:48 models into a modern 75mm 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: 1:48
1:48 is the quarter-scale / aircraft and vehicle standard. Common for vehicles and aircraft. Figures in this scale are smaller than typical wargaming miniatures and are usually accessories to a vehicle kit rather than standalone game pieces. Common systems: US O-gauge trains, Bandai Star Wars kits, Aircraft model kits.
Note: 1:48 figures are often molded in soft vinyl rather than hard plastic. If 3D printing replacements, increase wall thickness for durability.
Target: 75mm
75mm is used by Display busts, Figure painting competitions, Scale 75 display line. Not a tabletop wargaming scale. A 75mm figure is roughly 1:24 scale and designed for contest judging and display cabinets. Eyes and skin texture become the primary focus.
Note: 75mm sculpts often have separate heads or arms for easier painting access. Check assembly instructions before scaling a monolithic STL.
Print notes
Set your slicer to 205.7%. 75mm on FDM needs a 0.2mm nozzle and very slow print speeds for acceptable surface quality.
