Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AI terrain generation, 3D printing, and getting started with Terrain Builder.
Getting Started
Do I need 3D modeling experience to use Terrain Builder?
No modeling skills required. Simply describe your terrain in plain language, and our AI generates print-ready 3D models optimized for your printer. The interface is designed for tabletop gamers, not CAD experts.
What 3D printers does Terrain Builder support?
Any FDM printer that accepts STL files works with Terrain Builder. Bambu Lab printers (X1, P1S, A1 series) have direct cloud integration for one-click printing without manual file transfers.
How does the AI terrain generation work?
Our AI understands gaming terminology and context. Describe what you want, and it generates models with proper wall thickness, minimal supports, and optimized geometry specifically for FDM printing success.
Printing & Files
What file formats can I export from Terrain Builder?
Export as STL (universal compatibility), 3MF (with embedded print settings), or OBJ (for rendering). Pro users access all formats. 3MF files include optimized profiles for Bambu Lab printers.
How does 4-color multi-material printing work?
Models include up to 4 distinct color regions for stone, metal, organic elements, and accents. Multi-material printers like Bambu Lab AMS automatically switch filaments during the print.
How long does tabletop terrain take to print?
Small scatter terrain prints in 1-2 hours. Medium pieces like dungeon tiles take 3-5 hours. Large buildings or set pieces may require 8-12 hours depending on your print settings and infill.
Compatibility
Are Terrain Builder models OpenLOCK compatible?
Yes, enable OpenLOCK compatibility when generating to add clip receivers on tile edges. This lets you combine our terrain with existing OpenLOCK collections using standard 1-inch grid alignment.
What game scales and systems are supported?
We support 28mm (D&D/Pathfinder standard), 32mm, and 15mm scales. The AI understands Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer, Star Wars Legion, Frostgrave, and other popular tabletop systems.
Will Terrain Builder work with my non-Bambu Lab printer?
Absolutely. Export your terrain as STL and slice it with your preferred slicer software. The Bambu Lab cloud integration is a convenience feature, not a requirement.
Pricing & Access
How do generation tokens work?
Each terrain generation uses one token. Complex multi-part terrain sets may use additional tokens based on the number of pieces. Your token balance refreshes monthly on your billing date.
Is there a free tier available?
Yes, free accounts receive 10 generation tokens monthly, access to basic terrain types, and STL export. Upgrade to Pro for more tokens, all terrain types, and multi-material support.
Can I sell terrain printed from Terrain Builder files?
Pro and Enterprise users can sell physical prints of generated terrain. Reselling or redistributing the digital STL/3MF files requires an Enterprise license with commercial rights.
