[MyMiniFactory Archive] A quick tutorial on our MMF archive system
Hi folks, as we shed the weight of what feels like forty thousand hammers I figured it would be a good time to write up how our MyMiniFactory archive system works. If you're getting sent this link months later it means your question will probably be answered below.
SUMMARY
Monthly Specialist members get access to files released in the current and previous month, and since we rotate out the monthly rewards folders in Google Drive this would normally mean you would lose access to old files if you didn't download them in time. HOWEVER, we don't want that for you, so we built a system that allows you to redeem those files available during your tenure to a permanent library on MyMiniFactory.
PROCESS
On the last day of every month (and for special occasions) we will export a list of all current Specialist members. We put that list of emails into a group and send out an email to redeem your rewards through a private MMF collection - it will look like the email pictured above. Once you redeem the files they will be available in your MMF Library for as long as MMF supports it. It should be a perfect replica of the files released during your tenure.
FAQ
- Q: "I didn't receive my email, what gives?"
A: The most likely case is that the email is in your spam folder, barring that make sure you are checking the proper email account - it will send the email to whatever email is connected to your Patreon account.
There is one scenario where you will not receive a redemption email. If you cancel your subscription mid-month, Patreon will not include your email account in the list it generates for me of "active" members. In this case, please message me with your Patreon email and I can manually send you the archive if you were a member during the month.
- Q: "I redeemed the files but they're not showing in my MMF account."
A: That's not really a question but - your MMF account email MUST match the email that is connected to your Patreon account. Otherwise you are "redeeming" the files to an account that doesn't exist.
Hope that helps!

So I thought that was just spam and deleted, can I get it resent?
If I may make a suggestion regarding how you guys upload them to MMF going forward, It would be a huge help with keeping them organized if you attach pictures to each either with a screenshot that shows everything thats in the pack not just a few of what's in it and or included a list in the description of what's in each pack, or uploaded each file as its own download with corresponding picture (which I know is a lot of work so the former is probably the better way to go) that way if say I am looking for a specific helmet that was released in May 2025's pack 5 years from now I don't have to go downloading each and every months release "pack" I have gotten since trying to figure out which one contains said helmet if that makes sense because that would be a lot of files to have to download and comb through eventually and would kind of be less organized than the google drive that has each item in its own respective folder making it easy to find exactly what you are looking for. Uploading everything as a month pack that has every release for that month in 1 download, unless the picture shows everything that's in the download and or the description lists it out it kind of defeats the goal you were going for with using MMF to better organize the files and increase ease of accessing the files we have access to, etc. <3
So, if I am understanding correctly, you guys won't use Google Drive going forward, and instead, we will receive an email to accept them on MMF each month (& on special occasions), and from that point on, we will have permanent access to the files sent to us on MMF? (Never mind, just looked at my MMF and answered my own question lol)
I have a MMF under a different account name. I got the email. I’ve tried to change the MMF account name to Patreon, I’ve tried to create a new MMF account and failed.
So GW just announced their first officially licesended wearable helmet.....May explain the cease and desist!!
Haven't received the email yet. I did just sub to the monthly patreon yesterday. Hoping I get the email soon.
I havent gotten an email yet either, and not sure if I need to be in the MMF Tribes for GA or not
I use a different email for MMF and Patreon and if I am logged in to MMF, when I click on the redeem link, I get the option to redeem to my MMF account email instead of the Patreon one. Hope that helps some people.
The MyMiniFasctory link/archive is *exceptionally* helpful and greatly appreciated.
Thank You so much for doing this. I've been subscribed for so long but missed so many files
You guys are absolutele legends for releasing all the files before they are gone! oh everyone make sure the files you downloaded are successful because some of mine werent and it would suck to discover later
Thanks, just joined yesterday, can see the jpgs of all the files but my MMF has nothing, same email address for account
You guys are champs! Your work will live on forever!
got mine and redeemed XD
That's too bad about the 40k going away. There goes my hopes for a Lifesize Necron Overlord :(
I just got the specialist membership and and I’m hoping I’m not too late to get the 40K helmets…
Did you get the myminifactory invite?
Question on the 40K items. Since you have to delete them, will they stay in our MMF files or do we need to download them all now?
I have a MMF profile but am not subscribed as part of the Tribe for GA, but I am a Specialist Member on Patreon as of today, will I get the files as well there??
No email and my email for MMF is the same as the one for Patreon
🤘🤠
will this months include the 40k files then?
Out of curiosity, when did the MyMiniFactory start, and is there any special link for annual subscribers? As far as I can find, I have the collections from April 2024 to June 2025 along with the Space Racist one.
Annual Specialist members get access to the full file repository for the duration of their membership. They only get the MMF backup for files released during their membership, not all files.
Hi Aaron, thanks for posting this, I will likely be in that scenario in which I won't receive the email, how do I msg you my email?
