Texture rollers turn blank miniature bases into battlefields: roll once over putty and every base in the army matches. The Roller Maker lets you design the pattern yourself — sci-fi decking, cobblestones, tech panels — and preview the roller in 3D before it prints.
Small rollers suit 25–32mm infantry bases; bigger rollers cover 60mm+ bases and display plinths in one pass. A matched set in the same pattern keeps a whole army coherent — which is exactly what the studio is for.
Formada3D prints to order in Melbourne, Victoria, and ships to every Australian state and territory: Victoria (Melbourne), New South Wales (Sydney), Queensland (Brisbane), Western Australia (Perth), South Australia (Adelaide), Tasmania (Hobart), the Australian Capital Territory (Canberra) and the Northern Territory (Darwin). Orders are printed in 3–5 business days and sent by tracked Australia Post; how long the post takes after dispatch depends on the distance from Melbourne and is shown in the carrier's tracking. Shipping: AU $10 (express $15) · FREE AU over $100 · NZ $15 · US $20 · Intl $25. There is no storefront or pickup — every order is shipped.
Air-dry clay and Milliput are the most forgiving. Greenstuff works rolled slightly firmer; chill it briefly if it's sticking.
A film of water for clay, or the thinnest smear of vaseline for epoxy putties. Clean the roller with an old toothbrush afterwards.
The patterns repeat around the circumference, so long strips tile cleanly — on a normal base you'll never meet the seam.
That's the point of the studio — build the pattern yourself and preview it in 3D. If you need something it can't draw, ask for a custom quote.
Yes — crafters use the same rollers on polymer clay slabs; bake the clay as normal after texturing.
