We Curated the Best Free DnD STL Models for Your Next Epic Campaign
If you love playing D&D, join us on an adventure to discover the best free DnD 3D print files and 3D models and where to find them!
While there’s nothing wrong with using a nickel to represent your half-orc ranger, imagine how much better printing your own Dungeons and Dragons pieces would be. When it comes to free, downloadable STL files, the community does not disappoint. We’ve curated a list of the 30 best files based on detail, printability, and community feedback. From sprawling dragons to intricate NPCs, these STLs will ensure your next campaign is as visually stunning as it is epic.
If you’re hungry for more, check out the designers of the models, as many of them provide other similarly themed, highly detailed models! It’s also possible to create your own models with platforms such as TitanCraft or Hero Forge. And if your designs exceed your printers capacity, consider using a 3D printing service such as Craftcloud to get your miniatures looking exactly how you want them.
With that, let’s get to our picks!
Player Classes & NPCs
To start off, we’ve got a variety of classes, races, and NPC types. In some cases, even the individual models are generic enough to cover a number of races.
Modular Magnetic Mage
If you like to personalize your miniatures to resemble your character inside of the game, this magnetic mage is the perfect solution. The model is split up into multiple pieces, with magnets holding them together. This allows you to seamlessly swap the head, arms, or torso to match with the gear that your character is currently wearing.
This type of print is best suited for a resin printer, which allows you to achieve the best detail you can on your miniatures. Post-processing is required, as you’ll have to insert the 2-mm diameter magnets and paint your figure before it’s ready for use. While this model is free, the designer does offer other miniatures that use this same modular design for a small price.
Guild Mage Redux
Masters of magic, mages spend their lives in the study and practice of spell weaving. Get your hands on one or many of these arcane scholars with this traditionally clad caster.
This model has been both FDM and resin printed. The recommended print settings include a 0.1-mm layer height, with a raft and supports.

Elf Ranger
Elves are probably present in almost every D&D party. And yes, an elf ranger is a bit of a cliché, but it’s a cliché because it works. They have beauty, they have grace, and they’ll shoot an arrow in your face.
The creator originally printed the model using a DLP printer, but most users have printed it with an FDM printer in PLA. They do suggest using high-resolution settings, otherwise the details won’t shine through and the model will look like a blob. Also, don’t forget to activate supports.
- Who designed it? dutchmogul

Dwarf Fighter
A dwarf is a common member of almost every crew. In Lord of the Rings, they’re 90% of the crew, actually. They’re loyal creatures who care about clan and tradition but can also have a good time. Additionally, they’re good with a range of close combat weapons, which makes them useful for any party.
The design, which has a size of 28 mm, has been printed successfully by many users. Mostly, they’ve used PLA with supports. Some have used regular supports, while others recommend the tree option.
- Who designed it? MarcusRochaArt

Besides this cool model, the maker has other similarly designed creations, such as a hammer-wielding dwarf and an elf paladin. Another noteworthy mention is this unique-looking troll that almost looks like something from Where the Wild Things Are!
- Who designed it? onmioji
- How printable/popular is it? This classic paladin has 16 makes and 1 remix, with most prints in resin.
- Where to find it? Thingiverse
Ranger Collections

These models come in three different poses that will add a nice variety to your sessions. With the amount of detail the designer has added to these models, it would only make sense to print them using resin for the best results. Many makers have shown how a simple paint job can make all the difference.

- How printable/popular is it? This model seems to be a community favorite, with over 4,800 downloads and about 14 makes, most of which were resin-printed.

Beholder
A beholder, or a sphere of many eyes, is as you would guess, a floating orb with one big eye and 10 smaller eye tentacles. You guessed that, right? A beholder can see in all directions at once, so you’d do well not to try to outsmart it.
This model is a 28-mm miniature made to fit inside the board and, as some users have tried, you can paint it to make it look very realistic. It has been successfully printed in PLA and in resin.
- Who designed it? pyroka3d
- How printable/popular is it? This popular beholder has 85 makes and 6 remixes.
- Where to find it? Thingiverse
Gelatinous Cube
Since it absorbs all within its path, those who failed to defeat this jiggly gelatinous cube are stuck inside – until they’re digested, that is. Since they appear in crypts, one of these can be used as a great mini-boss after looting!
This model includes different printable bases and the ability to put treasures or small characters inside for a fun addition. The author printed this model in resin and painted it afterward to show off the detail.
- Who designed it? dungeondog
- How printable/popular is it? A great community print has been shared in PLA, while the author displays an impressive resin version. In total, there are eight stunning (but dangerous) makes.

Common Goblin
This creepy-looking creature is none other than a goblin. Goblins are small, black-hearted humanoids that are weak on their own, so they congregate in swarms to torment other creatures. Be careful how many you print!
- Who designed it? daandruff
- How printable/popular is it? There are 14 posted makes and 6 remixes of this goblin file.
- Where to find it? Thingiverse
Mimic Collection
Ah, the deceptive mimic! Mimics are portrayed as able to change shape and disguise their bodies as inanimate objects. Most commonly, they’re found in the form of treasure chests.
This maker has provided models of mimics in all shapes and sizes for your game. They recommend the use of supports and a raft.
This is from the same designer who made a couple of previous items on this list. Their offerings on Printables are slightly different from the ones on Thingiverse, so it’s worth checking out both sites to get a full idea of what they’ve designed.
- Who designed it? mz4250
- How printable/popular is it? These mimics have 27 prints and 4 remixes from both sites.
- Where to find it? Printables, Thingiverse

- Who designed it? schlossbauer
- How printable/popular is it? There are 20 makes and 4 remixes for this model, with the silk PLA one looking particularly cool!
- Where to find it? Thingiverse
Rugged Earth Golem
Earth golems are elemental creatures that plod forward with club-like arms of jagged stone. Similar to several models on this list, makers have successfully printed this on both FDM and resin printers.
The designer also has models for quite a few props, such as chests and bridges.
- Who designed it? rocketpiggames
- How printable/popular is it? There are 40 makes of this cool golem, with all positive comments!
- Where to find it? Thingiverse
Illithid Mind Flayer
Two words: psionic powers. The illithids are monstrous humanoid aberrations that hone the power of psionics. They’re called mind flayers for a reason! These scheming creatures are often plotting against other races that they see as inferior and consider themselves above other life forms.
Like the model pictured above, some makers chose PLA, while others opted for resin.
- Who designed it? PollyGrimm
- How printable/popular is it? This design has 12 community prints combined from both sites.

Beasts
Whether you’re after a creepy crawler, a scary manticore, or a common boar, there are loads of miniatures available for the beasts in your campaign. Let’s check them out!
Manticore
Yes, a manticore miniature! It’s said that the manticore has a vaguely humanoid head and the body of a lion as well as the wings of a dragon, though this version is definitely more lion than human in its face.
The creator set this to 54-mm scaling for simple printing, but you can reduce it to 60% if desired.
- Who designed it? Yasashii
- How printable/popular is it? There are 14 makes and 2 remixes for this cool manticore model, with plenty of positive comments.
- Where to find it? Thingiverse
Black Leech
The black leech, also known as the black devil, is a parasitic creature. These bloodsuckers can exist underwater and even swallow a creature whole.
The detail on those teeth is very convincing. Watch out!
- Who designed it? dca_tabletop
- How printable/popular is it? This leech has over 2,000 downloads and is part of 50 collections, while two makers have shared their colorful prints.
- Where to find it? MyMiniFactory
Ogre
Bestial giants that get angry easily, ogres are fun to mess with but usually better to avoid. Don’t count them out, though, they have layers, like an onion.
The original size is 54 mm because the creator mentions it’s easier to model that way. However, they recommend scaling down to 60% if you want to achieve the standard 28-mm size. Some users have printed in resin and some in FDM, with a layer height of up to 0.2 mm working well, but predictably, better results are achieved with less.
- Who designed it? Yasashii
- How printable/popular is it? This big guy has 38 makes and 2 remixes so far.
- Where to find it? Thingiverse
Owlbear
This beast is both a beloved classic and a terrifying encounter for many players of D&D. This model will do a fine job at showing your players exactly what they’re facing during your next gaming session.
Two models have already been prepared: one at a 32-mm scale and another at 54-mm if you need something a little more intimidating. One maker recommends adding drainage holes to the bottom of the feet if you plan on printing this model in resin.
- Who designed it? YKSMiniatures
- How printable/popular is it? As a classic addition to any D&D session, it’s no surprise that this model has been downloaded over 5,400 times and has 5 posted makes.

Accessories

A 3D printed tracker will take care of all of this for you.

Dragon Dice Tower
The designer of this dice tower made it for his kids who wanted to feed the dragon during the game. With all the makes from this model, it seems like they weren’t the only ones.
According to the designer, the supports can be difficult to remove, depending on the type of filament you print with. They also warn to be careful of the lower teeth when removing the supports of the upper teeth or the dice might not be the only thing this dragon tries to eat.
