Hello, and welcome to the 3D Printing Doctor Who Project.
Since 2017, my fellow designers and I have been attempting to plug the gaps in the official Doctor Who toy line with FREE articulated models that you can download and print at home, then proudly display alongside the rest of your collectibles!
This website
serves the dual purpose of providing a single one-stop catalogue of over 250 different Doctor Who-related action figures, props, and customizing parts created by a wide variety of artists, and a detailed how-to-guide for anyone who is new to the world of 3D printing or wants to take a stab at creating figures themselves!
This project is a labor of love, but does come with three simple rules we expect everyone to respect and follow...
1)
STL files will only remain available as long as licensed versions of that figure/prop do not exist.
This project exists to supplement the official BBC-approved toy range, not supplant it.
While it seems unlikely that official merchandise for most of the characters and props featured on this site will ever be released, Character Options do occasionally throw us a curve ball, and several designs have been voluntarily pulled from the lineup because they happened to release an official version of the same toy after I released my own fanmade version.
We stand in solidarity with the official toy manufacturers, so if a design gets taken down for any reason, we ask that you do not repost or share copies of any files you might have downloaded before the item was deleted.
I do allow some wiggle room in the case of our guest artists, who are free to work on any subject they choose, though I reserve the right to not list any designs I feel are duplicative of existing figures on this website. We are also usually okay with creating and sharing versions of figures that may have been commercially released in a different scale/format/style (ex: making a 5.5" version of a toy that only exists as an Eaglemoss figurine, Mego doll, Warlord Miniature, Lego or Character Building set, Time Squad, etc.)
2) All designs featured on this website are protected under Creative Commons Licence BY-NC-SA 4.0 International, which states that they may not be sold for financial gain. Our artists can and will pull their files from public circulation if we catch people attempting to profit from their work by selling figures based off our designs on eBay, Etsy, Vinted, or other online marketplaces.
(And we are checking for this... Daily.) This is a strictly not-for-profit fan project and in no way endorsed or licensed by the BBC, Bad Wolf Productions, or Disney. Not selling our work helps protect us from overzealous corporate lawyers, and allows us to continue sharing free models with fans like yourself without fear of reprisal.
For more detailed information about the copyright of our creations and under what circumstances it is okay to ask for compensation for printing them, please consult our detailed copyright F.A.Q. As long as everybody continues to play nicely in the sandbox together, expect to see brand new figures and props added to the collection every couple of months!
3) All models featured on this site are 100% *FREE* to download, but please do not repost them on any other sites or platforms without permission.
Linking back to this website is fine, but I don't want to see the files shared anywhere that doesn't include our standard disclaimer about not manufacturing them for commercial use.
In addition to my own creations, we also have a guest designs section for models and props that have been contributed by other artists. While the same rules above apply to their work by default, I leave it up to the individual artists to decide how they feel about their work being sold online.
Note that I *WILL NOT* sell or print figures for you, no matter how nicely you ask.
There are plenty of online print-to-order services you can use if you don't happen to own a printer. Please see the F.A.Q. section for the project's rules about asking somebody to print for you.
If you have technical questions about printing any of these figures that are not covered within the F.A.Q., feel free to contact me via Facebook, Discord, BlueSky, or Instagram, and I will do my best to answer you, time permitting. And if you've enjoyed what we've produced so far and feel like donating a couple of £ to help keep this site up and running, we also have a Ko-Fi account.
