Recently Fat Dragon Games sent Must Contain Minis some STL files to check out. Below is a small sample of our review.

The Bookshelf…
Excerpt…
For the pieces above, it took Dave just over three-hours to print each "Long Wall" and thirty-minutes to print the center column. Because of the length of time it takes to print the pieces, Dave plans to use the building without a printed floor. I wonder if other printers would print the pieces off faster.
The "Long Walls" used up about 10 meters of plastic while the fountain used 13 meters. The post in-between used up a meter of plastic while the bookcase (below) took about 5 meters of plastic to print. For those that don't own a 3D printer, 10 meters of plastic is not as expensive as it sounds. If you buy a system that can use spools (instead of only cartridges), I hear that the price per meter of plastic is even less.
The time it takes to print items and the material used can vary based on printer and selected print quality. It can also vary based on the wall thickness and how much "infill" you choose to use on the model. Dave mentioned that he wished he saw suggested numbers from Fat Dragon for the infill and quality levels at which to print the model.
When we first chatted about Fat Dragon Games, Dave was a little skeptical because he was used to downloading STL files from free sites. Why pay for something that you can get for free? When Dave received the files, he was very pleased with the quality of the product and the ease of which he could use the files.
