October is here, and we’re throwing a party. All month long, Minarium is running three separate Oktoberfest events, and every one of them is free to join. Whether you sell minis, paint them, or just like collecting STLs you’ll get to eventually, there’s something in this for you.
Here’s the rundown.
- Creators Keep 100% of Store Sales in October
For the entire month of October 2026, Minarium is charging 0% commission on store sales. Not a reduced rate. Zero. Nada. Nothin’.
Every dollar a customer spends on your minis goes to you. There’s nothing to apply for and no box to check. If you’re a creator on Minarium, it’s already on.
This is a good month to finally release that set you’ve been sitting on, or to run a sale of your own. Your margins are as good as they’re ever going to get.
- Paint the Beermaiden and Win $100
We commissioned a Beer Maiden for Oktoberfest, and she’s free to download all month. Grab her, print her, paint her, and show us what you did. She’s only free through October 31, so don’t wait on it.
The winner gets:
- $100 USD
- One year of the Vault, our 1TB storage tier
How to enter:
- Download the Beer Maiden (free, link above)
- Print her and paint her however you want
- Post your photos on Instagram with #MinariumPaintingContest
Deadline: 11:59 PM on October 31, 2026. Winner announced: November 5, 2026.
There’s no skill bracket and no separate beginner category, so paint her clean and simple or go wild with a full diorama. Make sure the hashtag is on the post itself, not buried in a comment, or we might not find you.
Full entry requirements are in the official rules, linked at the bottom of this post. Read them before you post so nothing gets tossed on a technicality.
- Nights of Halloween: Seven Days, Seven Free Minis
For the last week of October, we’re giving away a different free mini every single day. A free Minarium account is all you need.
Here’s the catch, and it’s an important one: you have to log in and redeem it that day. Each mini is available for 24 hours only. Miss a day and that mini is gone. We’re not stacking them up for you at the end of the week, and there’s no makeup window.
So set a reminder. Seven days, seven different sculpts, and the only cost is remembering to show up.
From October 25 to October 31
Get In On It
Three events, one month, nothing to pay:
