◇ infantry squads

One case for a whole infantry squad

A squad plays as a unit, so it should travel as one. With the Pro plan, MyMiniCase places several figures in a single case — each in a pocket carved to its own pose — and packs them to fit your printer. One print, one lid, one unit ready to deploy.

Why one pocket per figure matters

Squads look uniform on the table, but no two poses are the same: one figure aims, another charges, a third carries the special weapon. A tray of identical slots fits none of them well.

Here, every figure’s cavity is carved from its own STL, then all of them are cut into one shared case. The special weapon gets room for its barrel; the sergeant’s sword gets room for its blade.

Making a squad case

  1. Load every figure in the squadDrop in each figure’s STL. Every figure keeps its own pose and its own pocket.
  2. Auto-arrange for your bedSet spacing and bed size; auto-arrange packs the figures into one case and warns you if it is too big.
  3. Generate, label and printEngrave the unit name on the case, then export case and lid as STL.

Fitting the squad onto your printer

Auto-arrange packs the figures tightly and the case grows to hold them. Set the spacing between pockets, allow a 90° rotation for a tighter pack, and choose your bed size — 180, 220, 250 or 256 mm, or your own number. If the arrangement comes out bigger than the bed, you get a warning instead of a failed print; split the squad over two cases.

Before you start, the free case size calculator estimates how many figures fit a given case.

Frequently asked questions

Is the multi-figure case included in the free trial?

No. The trial makes one figure per case. Multi-figure layouts are part of Pro — $3.99 a month, $26.90 a year, or $33.90 once for lifetime access.

Do all figures need to be the same size?

No. Each pocket is carved from its own STL, so a squad leader on a larger base or a figure with a big weapon fits alongside the rest.

How many figures fit in one case?

As many as your print bed allows at the spacing you choose. A case size calculator gives a quick estimate.
