Pop Goes the Monkey is back, offering high-quality 3d printed bits for the Warhammer 40k and miniatures hobby with new material options!
Exciting news from the world of 3d printed miniatures and conversion bits for Warhammer 40k! Pop Goes the Monkey is back in business, and they’re better than ever. After a brief hiatus (due to Shapeways closing down), they’ve teamed up with a new printer, ensuring the same top-notch quality you’ve come to expect. With an expanded catalog and innovative new materials, it’s time to see what’s new and improved.
Pop Goes the Monkey is Back with High-Quality Prints & New Material Options
It’s been a whirlwind since Shapeways shut down their operations, but Pop Goes the Monkey has found the perfect partner to take over production. This new collaborator knows the ropes, having previously handled overflow printing for Shapeways. So far the transition has been smooth, ensuring you continue to get top-notch 3d prints for Warhammer 40k and the miniatures hobby.

Introducing New Material Options for 3D Printed Warhammer 40k & More
Pop Goes the Monkey is stepping up their game with two stellar material options:
Classic MJP
The Classic MJP is your familiar friend, providing the same translucent acrylic material known for its high level of detail and smooth finish. This material allows for intricate designs without the need for printed supports. However, be mindful—these parts can be brittle, so handle them with care. Use super glue to attach these pieces to your models, as plastic glue won’t cut it.
TufFlex MJP
Meet the new kid on the block, TufFlex MJP. This material retains all the detail and smoothness of Classic MJP but is designed for improved toughness and flexibility. Think of it as the bend-but-don’t-break superhero of miniature materials. Thin parts might arrive slightly warped, but a bit of warmth will set them straight. Plus, this flexibility is handy when gluing flat logos onto curved surfaces. Like Classic MJP, super glue is your best friend here.
Supporting the Transition
Pop Goes the Monkey is asking for your support during this transition. By placing orders, you’ll help them perfect their new system and ensure everything runs like a well-oiled machine. It’s a win-win: you’ll get your hands on fantastic 3D-printed conversion bits for games like Warhammer 40k, and they’ll fine-tune their operations.
