About us:

Introduction

At Printapotamus, we believe that technology and creativity should go hand in hand. We are a small but passionate team of makers and enthusiasts based in Roskilde, Denmark, with more than a decade of combined experience in 3D printing, design, and tabletop hobbies. Our mission is simple: to bring digital ideas to life through high-quality 3D printing services that are accessible to everyone, no matter where in the world they live.

3D printing has become more than just a tool—it is a bridge between imagination and reality. What once seemed futuristic is now available to anyone with a digital file and a vision. From PLA to resin, from tiny miniatures to large-scale cosplay props, we offer a professional service that blends our technical knowledge with our passion for design and gaming.

Printapotamus is not just a business—it is the natural evolution of our shared journey as hobbyists, gamers, and tech nerds. We started as board game and miniature enthusiasts, running a store that connected us with the community. Over time, we became fascinated by the possibilities of 3D printing. It began as a side project, a way to create our own terrain and custom models for games. Soon, it grew into something much bigger: a full-service 3D printing company that now ships worldwide.

Today, we stand at the crossroads of hobby and technology. Our service is built for everyone—from tabletop gamers who want unique miniatures, to small businesses in need of prototypes, to artists who wish to bring their digital sculptures into the real world. We provide professional-grade quality, competitive pricing, and worldwide delivery thanks to our dedicated shipping agreements.

Our Story

Every business has an origin story, and ours begins in Roskilde with a passion for board games and miniatures. More than a decade ago, we opened a small board game store. It was a space where people could come together, play, discover new games, and immerse themselves in the worlds of strategy and imagination. Miniature games were at the heart of it—Warhammer, Dungeons & Dragons, and countless others.

We loved seeing how miniatures and terrain could transform a simple board game session into a living story. The detail, the creativity, the artistry—it fascinated us. At the same time, we were always drawn to technology. Gadgets, computers, and new tools were part of who we were.

When 3D printing began to enter the mainstream, it felt like a natural fit. Here was a technology that could merge our two worlds: the love of miniatures and the fascination with cutting-edge tech. At first, it was just a hobby. We printed our own terrain, experimented with prototypes, and tinkered with different filaments. But the results quickly drew attention. Friends, fellow gamers, and even small businesses began asking if we could print for them.

That’s when we realized there was a real need for a service that combined professional-grade equipment, experience, and an enthusiast’s touch. Many people had great ideas but lacked the machines or knowledge to bring them to life. And so, Printapotamus was born—a dedicated 3D printing service run by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, but open to everyone.

The transition from a board game store to a 3D printing company wasn’t just a business move; it was a passion project. It allowed us to combine everything we loved—gaming, design, technology, and craftsmanship—into one service. Over the years, we’ve refined our setup, invested in professional machines, and built the experience necessary to guarantee consistent, high-quality prints.

Today, our roots in the gaming community remain strong. We still print miniatures and terrain, but our services have expanded to include everything from cosplay props to engineering prototypes. We’ve gone from local Roskilde gamers to an international 3D printing partner. And we couldn’t be more excited about the future.
