About Us

Our Story

Founded in 2022, D&K Custom Prints has evolved from a specialized local workshop in Missouri into a premier global manufacturing destination for high-end tabletop hobbyists, miniature painters, and collectors. Built on a foundation of technical precision and artistic integrity, our studio serves as the bridge between digital master sculptors and physical showpieces.

We operate with a singular objective: to eliminate the compromises typically associated with on-demand 3D printing. By combining industrial-grade manufacturing technology with obsessive, artisan-level post-processing, we deliver products that set the industry standard for durability and crisp geometric accuracy.

Our Journey: From Spark to 11,000+ Orders

Like many great projects, D&K Custom Prints began with a simple passion for the craft. In 2022, we opened our doors as a modest storefront on Etsy. Operating out of Missouri, our initial goal was straightforward: provide local hobbyists and tabletop players with clean, reliable 3D prints that surpassed standard marketplace quality.

Word spread quickly among dedicated miniature painters and collectors who noticed our rigorous cleanup process and structural reliability. As demand skyrocketed, we realized that the limitations of a third-party marketplace couldn't keep up with our vision for an elite, high-tech production house.

To fully control our quality standards and offer a direct, premium experience, we graduated from Etsy and built our independent standalone studio. Today, having successfully dispatched over 11,000+ orders worldwide, our workshop features an advanced array of industrial-grade machinery, allowing us to push the absolute limits of modern 3D fabrication.

An Uncompromising 5.0-Star Record (4,000+ Reviews)

From our very first days on Etsy to our current standalone platform, we have maintained a flawless 5.0-star rating backed by over 4,000 verified reviews. In a space where brittle materials and messy support marks are the norm, our perfect track record reflects our obsession with quality control. When you order from D&K Custom Prints, you aren't just getting a raw file output—you are getting a product trusted by thousands of hobbyists.

How We Build: Production Standards & Engineering

Behind our 5.0-star reputation is a strict adherence to manufacturing precision. We don't just hit "print"—our resin miniatures go through an initial and final wash of 99% IPA, are degassed for a 24-hour period, UV cured, hand-inspected, and carefully packed right here in our Missouri workshop.

16K Ultra-High Definition Resin Processing

Our miniature and tabletop fabrication line utilizes cutting-edge 16K resolution masking technology. This allows for microscopic layer heights that completely eliminate visible stepping or harsh layer lines. The result is an incredibly smooth, razor-sharp surface texture that preserves the exact intent of the digital artist—providing an immaculate canvas for miniature painters to capture crisp armor, faces, weapons, and creature features.

Advanced Kinematic & Articulated Filament Fabrication

For our mechanical and articulated fidget collections, we deploy highly calibrated thermoplastic extrusion layers. Every joint, hinge, and interlocking link is engineered for structural durability, fluid motion, and rich, vibrant color output. We meticulously tune our machines to eliminate sharp edge defects and raw filament burrs, ensuring every flexible creation is completely safe, smooth to the touch, and built to be actively handled.

Choose Your Finish: Our Complete Tier Guide

Finish level controls how much prep, assembly, priming, or painting is completed by our studio before your order ships. Choose the option that matches how much hobby work you want to do yourself:

  • DIY Kit Tier: Built for experienced hobby builders. You receive unassembled resin parts. This tier requires the most hobby work on your end, and may require minor support cleanup, sanding, fitting, and assembly before priming or painting.
  • Raw Prep Tier: Designed for painters who want a cleaner starting point. Your models arrive cleaned, cured, inspected, and lightly sanded. This is an exceptional option for hobby painters who want to handle the assembly, primer, and final surface work themselves.
  • Assembled Tier: Perfect for customers who want the model built. Your miniature is professionally assembled and checked for fit directly in our studio. It ships unprimed and completely ready for your preferred priming and painting process.
  • Primed Tier: Made for painters who are ready to jump straight into color work. Your model is assembled, has major gaps filled, and is basecoated with a smooth, detail-preserving primer in our studio so you can start painting sooner.
  • Painted Tier: The ultimate showroom standard for finished display or tabletop pieces. Your model is fully assembled, hand-painted by our studio artists, detailed, and completely varnished/sealed. It arrives museum-grade and 100% display-ready.
