Hi everyone,
As in the title, I would start to learn how to design models for 3D printing and the basics about 3D printing, but I’m a total noob.
Do you have any suggestions about where to start?
Thanks everybody

If resin is a non-starter for you, FDM printing can also make cool miniatures, but it will take more effort and the details won’t be as fine.
People are getting good results printing minis on the Elegoo Neptune printers which are around USD$190. The latest fad is multi-material printers like the Anycubic Kobra 3 combo (USD$380) and Bambu A1 combo (USD$490) which can make colorful figurines at the cost of wasted plastic.
Tomb of 3D Printed Horrors has been getting pretty good results and is a good channel to follow if you go down the FDM route.
(Elephant-in-the-room sidenote: If you look at FDM printers, you’ll run into fans militantly promoting Bambu Lab as part of an ongoing corporate-sponsored flamewar, and the community has a laundry list of grievances against the company. It’s a mess. Bambu printers are good but not spectacular, and easy to use but hardly the only user-friendly printers out there.)
Wow! That’s a lot of useful info! I’ll check the Nerdtronics videos and all the models that you’ve shown. Thank you very much!
