When people think about 3D printing for Dungeons & Dragons, the first things that come to mind are miniatures and terrain—and rightfully so. But if that’s where your print queue stops, you’re seriously missing out. What if I told you that some of the coolest, most immersive, and downright fun things you can bring to your game night aren’t miniatures at all?
Today, we’re diving into all the amazing things you can 3D print for your next D&D session that aren’t minis or terrain. Let’s get into it.
Dice Accessories That Rock
Where there’s D&D, there are dice. And where there are dice, there’s an opportunity to elevate the experience.
Dice Towers: These are the showstoppers. Whether you’re printing a crumbling ruin, a mimic’s mouth, or a wizard’s tower, dice towers add style to your rolls. I even have one shaped like a tiefling. Because of course I do.
Dice Vaults & Holders: Forget the Ziploc bag. You can print dice holders shaped like chests, books, or even weapons. It’s an easy upgrade that feels premium.
Custom Dice: Yes, you can print your own dice. Resin printers are ideal—they give you clean, sharp edges and perfect detail. Just sand the nubs, brush on UV resin, and boom—your custom set is ready to roll. FDM is also an option (I’ve done it), but print slowly and use bold fonts. If you’re curious, I even have a full video on this.
Dungeon Master Upgrades
The DM deserves some love too. Here are a few tools to make their job smoother—and cooler.
Modular DM Screens: Build your own! Print panels that connect with magnets and add initiative trackers, cheat sheet clips, and even built-in dice trays. Add LEDs or a dry-erase board for that extra intimidation bonus.
Condition Rings: These slide over minis to show effects like stun, haste, or “yeeted off a cliff.” They’re super helpful and totally printable. Loot Studios has a great set, or you can find free ones online.
Spell Templates: Never fireball your own team again. Print templates for cones, lines, and radius spells to clarify spellcasting during battle. Tons of free files are out there to help.
Cosplay Props & In-Game Relics
Here’s where the immersion hits a new level.
Cosplay Props: Print relics, weapons, and puzzle boxes to drop into gameplay. The moment your players see a real artifact hit the table, they’re hooked. Bonus points if the sword has key-and-cut joints so it assembles like a prop from a fantasy film.
Book Covers & Lockable Journals: Customize your campaign journal or even print a faux-leather D&D rulebook cover. Some models even feature working locks. Style and security.
Wall Art & Decorations: Want your gaming space to feel like a tavern in Waterdeep? Print scaled-up dragon heads, monster busts, or thematic wall art to bring the vibe full circle.
Functional Fun: Drink Holders & Snacks
I saved the best for last—because snacks matter.
Drink Holders: Yes, your dice tower can also hold your drink. I’ve printed a tiefling-themed drink holder and even a beholder-shaped Red Bull can holder. They’re hilarious. They’re awesome. You need one.
Mythical Meats Snack Sticks: To complete the experience, you need themed snacks. I opened one live and got a hickory-smoked venison treat called the “Trailblazer.” Tastes like it was made for a ranger. Because it was.
3D printing for D&D isn’t just about figures—it’s about crafting an entire experience. From the dice you roll to the relics you reveal and the snacks you munch mid-battle, every layer of game night can be touched by your printer.
