Metal My Mini
Your mini, plated in real copper.
Upload your STL, OBJ, or 3MF. I print it in UV resin, electroplate it in real copper, and hand-finish every piece myself. Shipping within Australia.




The finish
Real metal on your print, polished to a shine.

Why Metal My Mini
It's one person, not a print farm. I review every file myself before it goes near the printer — if it won't plate cleanly, you get a revision or your money back. The gallery is real pieces from real orders, photographed as they shipped.

About the maker
I'm Shay. I run Metal My Mini out of Melbourne — tabletop player, resin printer, and the one who does the plating. Every model that comes in gets looked at by me before anything is printed, so what ships is the best result I can get from your file.

Before you order
- Each model is reviewed after payment. If a file can't be produced and can't reasonably be fixed, I'll cancel and refund the order.
- By ordering, you agree photos of your finished piece may appear in the gallery, on the site, and in marketing. Tell us in your order notes or email [email protected] if you'd rather we didn't — no reason needed.
- I may contact you if your model needs a change, clarification, or extra processing.
- See the Refund Policy, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service.
