What Are the Main Sections of MyMiniFactory?

Updated

MyMiniFactory is organized around a few distinct entry points: Tabletop, Toys, PDF, Frontiers, Tribes, Canvas, Physical, and MMF+ Subscriptions, with Login as the account gateway. If you are looking for crowdfunding-style model collections, go to Frontiers; for creator communities, go to Tribes; for the site's other content area, go to Canvas. The site's own navigation lists these sections directly, and its homepage currently promotes a Frontiers campaign ("War Scenery's Blood and Ice is live on FronTiers") as the featured example of how Frontiers works.

The main sections at a glance

Section What it is for When to use it
Tabletop Models aimed at tabletop gaming You want miniatures, scenery, or gaming-related prints
Toys Toy-oriented models You are printing for play or display rather than gaming
PDF A document-oriented content area You are looking for PDF content rather than STL files
Frontiers Crowdfunding-style campaigns for premium model collections You want to back a themed collection before or during its release
Tribes Creator subscription communities You want ongoing model releases from a specific creator
Canvas Another content area on the site You are exploring beyond the standard model catalog
Physical A separate section in the main navigation You are looking for physical offerings rather than files
MMF+ Subscriptions The site's subscription entry point You want subscription-based access rather than one-off browsing
Login Account access You need to sign in to use account features

How Frontiers works, using the current campaign as an example

Frontiers is the section for campaign-based premium collections. The homepage currently features War Scenery's Blood and Ice, described as live on Frontiers with earlybird savings on 50+ new premium wargaming models and 20+ buildings. That example shows the pattern: a themed collection, a limited earlybird pricing window, and a mix of models and terrain.

If your goal is a complete themed set rather than individual files, check Frontiers first. If you only need a single model, the standard catalog sections are the more direct route.

Tribes vs. MMF+ Subscriptions

These two are easy to confuse because both involve recurring access:

  • Tribes is organized around creator communities — you follow a specific designer's output.
  • MMF+ Subscriptions is the site-level subscription entry in the main navigation.

Choose Tribes when a particular creator's style is what you want; choose the subscription entry when you want site-wide access rather than one creator's catalog. The site navigation does not publish pricing or tier details for either, so confirm terms on the relevant page before committing.

A quick way to decide where to start

  1. Know what you want to print? Start with Tabletop or Toys depending on the use case.
  2. Want a full themed collection? Check Frontiers for active campaigns and earlybird windows.
  3. Follow a specific designer? Go to Tribes.
  4. Want recurring access? Review MMF+ Subscriptions.
  5. Looking for something outside the model catalog? Check PDF, Canvas, and Physical.

Common sticking points

  • "FronTiers" vs. "Frontiers": the homepage promotion spells it "FronTiers," while the navigation uses "Frontiers." They refer to the same section.
  • Assuming everything is free: the site describes both free and paid models, and Frontiers campaigns involve paid backing. Check each listing rather than assuming a section is free.
  • Skipping Login: account features sit behind the Login entry, so sign in before expecting saved or subscription-based access.
