Our Story ...
Building the Science Fiction Worlds We Always Wanted to Play In
Bringing Science Fiction Worlds to Your Gaming Table
Every gamer has that moment.
Watching the marines enter Hadley's Hope. Seeing Darth Vader march down a corridor. Exploring forgotten space stations, underground colonies, alien hives, or ancient dwarven tombs. For us, those moments sparked a simple question:

"Why can't we build these worlds ourselves?"
Years ago, there weren't many options for affordable, highly detailed sci-fi terrain that hobbyists could print at home. So instead of waiting for someone else to create it, we decided to build it ourselves. That decision became LV427-Designs.

More Than Terrain
Our goal has never been to simply sell STL files. We wanted to create an ever-expanding universe of compatible rooms, corridors, accessories, and environments that hobbyists could collect over time. Instead of buying one complete game board, you build your own colony.
- 600+ Modular Designs
- Thousands of Happy Customers
- 6+ Years of Designing
- Countless Colony Layouts Created
Start with a corridor, Add a med bay, Expand into engineering, Connect a cargo bay. Before long you've created an entire science-fiction world unique to your own imagination.

Designed By Gamers
Every room begins with one question:
"Would we want to play here?"
Our inspiration comes from the science-fiction movies, games and tabletop adventures we grew up loving. Rather than copying those worlds, we use them as inspiration to create something original—designs that feel familiar while remaining uniquely LV427-Designs.
Every piece is created with gameplay, printing, and modular expansion in mind.

Built Around Community
One of the biggest surprises over the years hasn't been the growing library. It's been the people. Thousands of hobbyists around the world have built, painted, modified and shared their own colonies using our designs. Many of our improvements have come directly from customer feedback. If there's one philosophy we've always followed, it's simple:
Take care of the community first. Everything else follows.

Growing With Every Release
What began with a single free corridor has grown into one of the largest collections of modular sci-fi terrain available for home 3D printing.
Today our library contains over 600 printable designs, covering nearly every part of a futuristic colony or starship, including:
- Corridors
- Command Centers
- Science Labs
- Medical Bays
- Cargo Areas
- Hangars
- Reactor Rooms
- Navigation Centers
- Cryo Chambers
- Security Facilities
- Living Quarters
- Industrial Spaces
- And much more.
Every new release is designed to work alongside what came before, allowing your collection to keep growing year after year.

Looking Forward
Innovation never stops. From introducing our optional OpenLOCK-compatible base system to continually improving older designs, we're always looking for ways to make building your colony easier, stronger, and more enjoyable. Our mission remains exactly the same as it was on day one: To help hobbyists create incredible science-fiction worlds at home.

Thank You
Whether you've downloaded one free file or collected hundreds of our designs, thank you for being part of the journey. Your support has allowed a childhood dream to become something shared by thousands of gamers around the world.
We're excited to keep building the future together.
