About mini-fair

Small fairground. Big ideas.

mini-fair combines the fascination of historic and modern rides with the possibilities of 3D printing – as detailed H0-scale fairground models.

The idea

Where 3D printing meets fairground modelling

A miniature fairground comes alive through movement, light and the small details you notice only at second glance.

This is where mini-fair comes in: a passion for rides, model building and technology becomes digital 3D models that fit into an H0 world. The 1:87 scale makes them suitable for classic model railways, dioramas and fairground scenes.

It is about more than a good-looking STL file. A model should be printable, understandable and achievable with manageable electronics. That is why material information, required components, building notes and – where available – wiring diagrams, code or back panels are part of the concept.

What mini-fair stands for

Designed from the screen to the layout

Every idea is judged by whether it genuinely helps model builders complete the build.

01

Consistently H0

Rides and details in 1:87 scale for a coherent miniature world.

02

Designed for FDM

Designs and components that take real-world 3D printing into account from the start.

03

Electronics included

Motors, electronics and Arduino turn a static model into a real experience.

04

Clearly documented

Clear information and useful downloads guide you to the finished model.

From the workshop

An idea becomes real, layer by layer

  1. 01
    Design

    Shape, scale and mechanics are combined into a printable model.

  2. 02
    Print & test

    Parts, fits and movement sequences are tested and improved in practice.

  3. 03
    Build & animate

    Instructions and suitable electronics turn it into a finished highlight for your layout.

For makers and fairground fans

Your layout. Your project. Your fairground.

mini-fair is for model builders, 3D-printing fans and technology enthusiasts who want to add something special to their H0 layout. Whether it is your first printed ride or an elaborate animated fairground scene, you decide how far to take your project.
