I don't have much experience with variable printing speed but I'd just do one speed throughout. If one layer prints correctly there's no reason not to continue throughout, sure it's less efficient but good philosophy says if not broke don't fix it, remember regardless of horizontal size 3d resin prints at same speed and its a few seconds each layer so it's already dozens of times fast than fdm printing. Where you get pinched is vertical size which takes longer if figure has sword or staff etc, now height may be twice as high doubling print time, but by using an angled model orientation we can shave time off again reducing that doubled time to only a 1/4th time increase. So I wouldn't bother with variable print speed until you get hundreds of successful prints under your belt.

>>93792464
Time for me is a non issue. Like at all. If I print something big, I just left it run while I go to work or while I sleep. 8-10 hours certainly is enough and if it could be done in 6, it would not change anything for me because I still come home or get up at the same time.

>>93795756
i wouldnt like to leave a filament printer unattended. but yeah letting a resin printer run for 16 hours while you work and sleep so its done when you get home is great. im just always shocked when i want to print something 5 cm tall and it swys that it will take 9 hours to complete.
my biggest print was when i wanted to do a max height statuette for ace from one piece.
43 hours for 27cm and i had to refill the basin twice
i think i would have thrown the printer if that one would have failed

its great what kind of details pop out of a print if you just prime and wash it. and supportless designs are way less hassle that the needlessly intricate shit by people that dont even have the decency to put their models on a base.

Is there any way to get files which are listed on yeggi but delisted on the actual sites ?

I've heard Punk girl marta is good for blade guard proxies. Should i just message and ask for the files ?

>>93796932
could be that they got taken down for copyright reasons. you can either send them the picture of the yeggi listing and ask for the .stl or you try your luck on telegram.
maybe they redirect you to another site where they host their stuff now(probably for money)

I'm somewhat struggling to find info online for some things. In particular, I settled on sunlu ABS like resin, and saw two listings on Amazon
Sunlu ABS like resin, in clear, blue, or red
Or "Updated" Sunlu ABS like resin in grey and various other colors.
Now, I don't give a shit what color my resin is so I went with clear because it was cheaper and to be honest, I can't find any info about an updated sunlu resin, or what colors it comes in.

But I'm wondering if I somehow fucked up specifically because I can't find any information about any of this anywhere. Am I retarded?

>>93797436
clear resin will let more uv rays penetrate further into the resin. this has the advantage that you can print thicker layers faster and normal layers with way less exposure time. when curing your print you dont have to worry about uncured resin seeping to the surface because everything will cure at once. i just had tge experience tgat clear resin develops a cloudy surface after a while wich doesnt look too good

I am the anon who was having printer failure issues in the last thread.
I was informed by someone that Anti Aliasing into a .goo file can cause print failures on modern Elegoo printers due to a bug in the Chitubox motherboards. This can be fixed by slicing into a .ctb file or not using AA in a goo file. Apparently AA in a .goo file on a chitubox motherboard can overload the x axis pixel count and lead to spaghettification of prints.
Thought I would share since I have not seen this mentioned anywhere outside of one reddit post (that said person sent me) and wanted to help anyone else having the same issue as me.

>>93798241
Depends on how adept you are at learning how to use computer software and how many you need to do. It's not tremendously difficult to do it in Blender, but if there's like only 5 you need to do, you'll probably be better off just filing them rather than spending the time learning Blender.

Just switched from Mars 2 to Saturn 4 Ultra, unbelievable how much of an upgrade this is
Definitely worth the ultra premium for the tilting vat too, I printed a Sicaran chassis for 30k in under 5 hours.

>>93798497
I went with the Saturn 3 Ultra because lower price and (slightly) larger build plate, but both are great

>>93797436
The only issue is resin itself is toxic being epoxy and polystyrene, but if you can tolerate it and you can vent it outside sunlu is just like any other epoxy resin, it stinks, is horrible for your health, although it does have good resolution and all that, in my experiments I found it a little brittle, but it had crisp edges and stick well to the build plate so not an issue with the printing at all. As fren said >>93797491 clear resin is an advantage, if you have a monochromatic screen don't go above 2.3 second exposure time for normal layers, it won't be needed. You may get away with 2 second layer times even. It depends on the thickness of the layer. At .03mm 2 second is probably possible with the clear resin, but I'd start at 2.3 and back it down by a .1 if 2.3 works well.
>>93798062
Thanks. I haven't heard of that. I use a ctb file anyway so I haven't encountered that. Thanks for the tip. Did you see my last advice about gap? It might help if you didn't. Elegoos have that tape around the screen so it can confuse and enrage the beginner leveler. >>93790415

>>93798450
select all the faces involved and extrude by a little bit and it'll pop up.. They you can use the sculpting tool to increase the resolution of that section and do the smooth curves with the sculpting tools or you can just skip right to the sculpting tools but then your outside edge will be soft.

So... is there a ruler or something to use inside the platform program?
because usually when I try to scale the minis differently to be "on scale" from one and other, the only reference I may have is the size of the model (which may not be accurate because if the figure have a staff then is wrong)
and the only reference are the lines on the floor really.
Guess just looking for a model ruler could work.

>>93803073

the cheapest way would probably be to order a printer, print your files. and then return it.
this would be fraud but would cost about as much as asking a friend

>>93802017
most programs have the ability to add basic shapes in modular sizes, so I just add a cube with the height I want and scale compared to that.

>>93785533
I almost ordered a tent today. A small one. Only to realize last minute that I wouldn't be able to open the lid without getting out the whole thing and risking spilling the resin and all. So yeah a slightly bigger one is actually preferable.

Its been awhile since I read about new printers. Are we at the point where after priming a part, you couldnt tell if it was an official bit or printed, even with a magnifying glass? Aside from weight of course

The old 2k resin printer I got over lockdown is finally packing up. Any suggestions on what to replace it with or what new features/innovations in the last four years I should look out for? I like the idea of getting a flexible build plate but I don't know if those are just gimmicks

Too do a shitty tl;dr, The Juice, a chat member who "would be an admin if the owner was around to make him one.", said that an old Warhammer Fantasy model was "not yet released." when someone asked about it. He was informed that he was wrong and it was from WHFB, a mold that was at least a decade old, but reissued because of The Old World. So he threw a fit and banned two people while going on about how they were disrespecting him.

- Vae Victis do a bunch of stuff that would fit for Empire (their mercs, elite mercs and ogres specifically). There's some other stuff spread through their range that would probably be useable too (I think they've got some Mordheim warband proxies in there, and some bowman of the kingdom that would be good for Brets. Plus the usual gaggle of skellys and zombies, always useable for VK and misc stuff).
- Monstrous Encounters does a bunch of stuff that are sort of 4th-5th edition proxies (the O&G stuff takes after Kev Adams rather than Brian Nelson). Lots of HQ proxies in there too that are useable.

What is the legality and rules around using warhammer models? I know for tournaments of the board game 3D prints have been contended, but warhammer’s site says you can print minis… just not sell them.
So what do these brands which emulate the style count as? Especially if they’re pretty 1:1 on what they’re trying to be.

Im planning on printing some soviet concrete panel fences for Zona Alfa. There are lots of free models out there so i'm trying to narrow down which one to print.

Can anyone confirm that these PO-2 and PO-5 fences only have the waffle pattern on one side? I'm pretty sure that's the case but can't find any photos showing like tipped over one or somethign showing the back side.

>>93827858
The waffling is mainly to deflect sound away from whatever it's surrounding; doesn't make much sense from a design perspective to have it on both sides.

>>93827858
I went into the rabbit hole, pretty interesting subject, guy who designed them is called boris, lives in new york and dislikes russia.
Anyway, i'm pretty sure the waffle texture is on both sides, the only evidence i found to the contrary was a low poly stl that had zero detail on one side.

>>93828520
That is a positive side effect, but the design was made with aesthetics in mind, with the shapes distributing shadows and light, and was picked because it's low maintenance, it's somewhat selfcleaning and only requires rainwater. With that in mind, the design should be on both sides.

>>93828520
>>93828543
For a manufacture perspective though a one piece mold is simpler than a two piece needed for double pattern and flat on one side will result in a stronger slab since thicker

>>93828543
>>93828954

What are they? Magicks?

Angry resin anon reminds me of this chick I played DnD with. She refused to have anything to do with chemicals. Everything had to be all natural or else she'd get sick or something? It was odd. She asked us to use natural soaps and laundry detergent and everything or she could not play. It seems to be some kind of mental problem to me or is there some kind of thing people are super sensitive to?

What are you guys using for the missing parts in eternal pilgrims? Also do you guys ever just cast bits just to reduce wait times?

>>93833625
Some people are indeed super sensitive to some things. At the same time there are plenty who are just plain nuts about "natural" stuff and "chemicals" and so on. And of course someone could also be both.
As for your friend, well, I obviously can't diagnose allergies indirectly and over the internet. But as you describe it her scientific literacy appears to be absolute rubbish, and she may have a severe case of new age mumbo jumbo.

>>93833625
Some people are intensely allergic to literally everything.
Me, I try to use all natural stuff due to being highly autistic about it - animal fat soaps, no fluoride or sulfates, parabens, etc. If I was also a bit of a psychopath, I'd ask my guests do the same. I also resin print, though I do use a half respirator.

I found an acceptable solution.
So there is an autocad command: facetres
Which increases polygons when exporting. My slicer doesn't pick it up so it looks a bit shit in preview, but comes out pretty good (previously, the printed bases looked like nintendo 64 models).

Also I went overboard on these supports, especially for the gun, but I wanted to make sure they were in the right place. the barrel also had deformations.
It's such a process learning printing, I felt the universe was against me, but bit by bit, the setbacks are becoming less frequent and it's becoming less tiresome.

>>93833739

>>93834107
Why do you put the bases upside down? Wouldn't the bottom of the base be the perfect spot to place the supports?

>>93835984
Not necessarily. The bottom is a large, smooth surface, and any amount of support work risks fucking it up or deforming it. Supporting the decorative elements is much safer, as it isn't as obvious (usually) when a support makes a small dent.

There's a lot of unpainted, but acrylic (including varnish) will let molecules through, that's how it cures and one of the reasons why fat over lean isn't a thing for acrylics.

>>93836763
If drips got on surface clean with alcohol and gloves and paper towels to remove most and then you can just use sandpaper when you refinish in the future and use polyurethane finish to seal and even out the gloss or just paint it and seal that shit up entirely if it has weird colors or whatever. Prior to that though the smell is the main problem. Airing outside for long time will work, put in full shade in cooler weather so it doesn't dry and crack or get rain on it and let oxygen do it's job. Eventually will smell neutral again. But imagine what the resin does to the rest of your house and more importantly to your lungs. I try to tell people. They don't listen. :(

I'm looking for somewhere I can buy files to print legion of the dammed, specifically bikers, dreadnaughts, librarians, chaplains, and the full range of tac squad boyos.

What do you guys do with your failed prints?

I've started cutting off warped limbs and replacing then with robotic looking ones. But for some that's still not enough, or way too much work compared to trying again, so the pile of failure my neurotic brain won't let me throw out just keeps growing.

>>93840294
You could break them down into parts to use for terrain or basing? A fucked up tank print can be used as terrain for a destroyed vehicle on the battlefield, a fucked up guy can be turned into severed limbs or a dead body, etc.

>>93840294
When I first started I just threw all of them in a spare tub. Only kept the fails that you could tell what they were. I also snapped off any weapons and similar to decorate bases/terrain.

But these days I hardly ever have fails due to using just one resin and having it dialed in pretty well. The fails are still in the tub and I will occasionally use one to test out painting/colors. Other than that they just sit there.

>>93840294
You can use the parts for terrain or wait until you have a bucket of them, break them up and use them for filler in concrete slabs for your garden haha

The thinner sheet is a protector for the fep. The thicker thing is the fep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcCJFy_FcWE

Yeah, all of the girls on X with pussy in bio are actually just guys selling files for 40k. Just message them saying that you look like nurgle and you should get sent a link in about 5-10 minutes. If you don't, then that means that you just gotta tell them that your a heretic and they'll understand.

I got into 40k recently and I'd want some ruins and other terrain bits to play smaller combat patrol games with friends. I don't have a printer but there are shops that print the files you provide around here. I was wondering if terrain models are easy to access to and free

>>93854058
yes

>>93849015
Damn shame, it looks excellent.

>>93854058
you can get terrain files almost anywhere including thingiverse or cults3d. They have barrels, rocks, crystals, building, rubble, whatever you want. And good thing about terrain is it still looks good printed on an FDM printer. You can also make your own terrain with stuff you find like rocks, sticks, sand, card board, styrofoam, etc whatever you want. Glue and cheap craft paint. That's what we use to make all that.

Any advice on printing terrain with resin? Never did it before and it looks like a massive pain in the ass. Can't find the updated version of this windmill mimic that's been presupported for resin online, the included text file says it prints fine on fdm without any supports flat. Last attempt I made at printing a building had it get fucked up from becoming a suction cup because I was retarded and printed it flat on the plate.
Guessing it's better to just pay the library to print it in plastic until I can make space and afford a plastic printer.

If it can be chopped into pieces for easier printing, do it.
Also hollow things as much as you reasonably can.

What's the "best" Warhound STL? I have the Ortus Forge one but I think I'm missing a part in the file I have. Something between the bottom piece and the pelvis piece that helps tie everything together.

Does anyone know where I can find historically accurate mesopotamian buildings and decorating bits? I want to make a diorama for a mesopotamian city.

what era? Mesopotamia still exists of course. I assume you mean during the babylonian or assyrian empires. for that you'll have to look at all the stuff Obama's Isis army destroyed and learn to hate him. The buildings were square with decorative trims as a crown, made of brick, decorated with griffons with human heads and lions and long necked giraffes that historical idiots think are dragons. The decorations may be hard to recreate in an art program, but the building should be easy. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4545140

There are some nice arround. I like those where you have a "modular system" that allows you to print pieces and have them combined in differrent combinations, for that I like stuff that uses the Warlayer system. https://www.printables.com/model/971004-warlayer-50-sample-files

Does anyone know where these Varagyr Termie proxies are from?

Sorry james, can't help you.

>>93859531
This is why a lot of 3Donly fags suck. Never handled a real mini so never respected the art of production, assembly or the painting.
Take a look at the state of those bases.

>becoming a suction cup
I learned this very important lesson through error. Never read about this one.
Angle large flat surfaces. Had the suction rip my bases right off their supports.

It should be fine if you angle that tower like 20 degrees. Enjoy the fidelity.

Thanks for the references. Right now I have the STL of a ziggurat pyramid, a couple of lamassu statues and the Ishtar Door. I also have a brick roller to make the texture for the walls, but I'm not sure how accurate it is. I'm still looking for a babylonian palace and guard towers, plus generic ancient stuff such as market tents, palm trees and the like. Possibly even some boats if I decide to add a river.
