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

Uniform scale (XYZ locked)
The math
(50.0mm / 32.0mm) × 100 = 156.3%
Based on 175cm human baseline, eye-level measurement (160cm).
Scale baselines
- Source eye level 32.0mm Eye
- Target eye level 45.7mm Eye
- Scale factor 156.3%
When you need this
You need this when bringing older or smaller 32mm models into a modern 1:35 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: 32mm
32mm is the modern heroic standard. 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. Common systems: Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Infinity.
Note: Some third-party sculptors label 35mm models as '32mm heroic.' Check eye-level measurement, not total height.
Target: 1:35
1:35 is used by Tamiya, Trumpeter, MiniArt. 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.
Note: 1:35 figures from different manufacturers can vary by plus or minus 2mm due to nationality and era differences in uniform and equipment.
Print notes
Set your slicer to 156.3%. 1:35 vehicles print beautifully on FDM at 0.2mm layers with a 0.4mm nozzle.
