28mm to 75mm Miniature Scale for 3D Printing
Convert 3D printed tabletop miniatures from 28mm to 75mm. This STL scale calculator is designed for Warhammer, D&D, and tabletop gaming miniatures.

The math
(75.0mm / 28.0mm) × 100 = 267.9%
Based on 175cm human baseline, eye-level measurement (160cm).
Scale baselines
- Source eye level 28.0mm Eye
- Target eye level 75.0mm Eye
- Scale factor 267.9%
When you need this
You need this when bringing older or smaller 28mm models into a modern 75mm collection. This is a dramatic jump—more than double or less than half. The result is essentially a different model category. Use this only for deliberate artistic or display purposes, not mixed armies.
Source: 28mm
28mm is the heroic fantasy and historical wargaming standard. The classic tabletop standard. Measures to the eyes (160cm on a 175cm human), not the top of the head. Helmets, top-knots, and ornate headgear often add 2-4mm of perceived height. Common systems: Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Oldhammer.
Note: Older sculpts may be closer to 25mm true-scale. Always check the sculptor's baseline before scaling.
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 267.9%. 75mm on FDM needs a 0.2mm nozzle and very slow print speeds for acceptable surface quality.
