Thinking of replacing the printer pastebin with a simple blurb. Something like :>FDM: Creality Ender 3 (Cheap) Bambu Labs A1 (Quality)>Resin: Elegoo Mars Ultra (Small) Saturn (Large)Thoughts?
>>97853719Does it matter which version of mars/saturn shit or just whatever is latest or on best sale?
>>97853788Go for the latest if you can afford it, ideally during a sale.If money is tight, you can always look for deals on the previous "ultra" version, as differences in print quality are minimal at this point. For example, i see the Mars 5 Ultra for 279€ while the 4 Ultra is 199. If i did not have a printer already, i would probably rather get the 4 now.
>>97853719The industry is definitely shrinking so maybe. I would also consider adding a warning about used printers, but most people are pretty good about warning others about that.
>>97853788Newer is usually better. The older ones get discontinued so replacing parts and screens becomes more difficult
what is on your printer right now?
>>97853719I am an ender 3 hater. No one should be manually levelling a bed in 2026. I would say just buy an a1 mini or full size. They go on sale all the time and are one of the few plug and play solutions. If youre spending more than $500 do some actual research. I dont know about resin so il let someone else critique it.
>>97858356Just fired up my old XYZ Pro filament printer and testing it with this.
>>97853719Personally i think the elegoo build plate design is turbo aids.Maybe something like Elegoo (cheap), Heygears (idiot-proof)
>new pc>Redownload slicer>All settings for my printers are goneFuck..
What should I search for if I want scans of old metal marines? I want to print a retro army.
>>97864516Onlyscans leak
>>97865062Where can I find this, or at least the breadcrumbs
>>97865062Only evidence i can find of this is people saying how it got nuked.
>>97869191It seems you are too late, and it is gone forever.
>>97858356some rooskie hussars, troopers only because I noticed a small failure on the prints of this particular pose when I was about to start painting them
>>97869191>>97869203definitely still around
>>97869722NTA that was requesting it but I'm in dozens of groups and even specifically looking up that one single file name isn't yielding anything. I barely do any Warhammer stuff though so maybe I'm just not in enough of the groups. I've been noticing lately like half the groups I did join got shut down or went radio silent as well.
Basic bitch question, I always see weapon STLs on cults and the like for 40k, but many of them aren't modeled with the hands. How do people usually turn that into a something a model can hold? Is there just a bunch of "empty 28mm space soldier hand" files I overlooked?
>>97870565You can overlay them onto a hand in the slicer and merge them, it doesn't have to be an open hand. Some people just cut them and glue them
>>97853788The Mars series have been good since the Mars 2 and the Mars 2 is a perfectly serviceable printer even now.
>>97870565You can either do traditional kitbashing, or add a pair of hands in 3d modeling software (which is easy to do), or slap the weapon onto a whole model that you're going to print, which is also very easy.
>bought a 2.5kg roll esun PETGNever going to make that mistake again. I've never had issues with esun before but the 2.5kg rolls both need separate holders (and I suspect you the ones with ball bearings that cost a bit to make, the ones with just a hanger were utter shit) and they have tons of snags that it'll get stuck on that you have to go fix manually. I even re-rolled over like a kilo to another 1kg roll which was a pain and even so both in 1kg from a 2.5kg roll wasn't that much better.I'm only going to buy 1KG ones from now on. Better to just buy them in bulk.
>>97869722thats some pretty fucking gay background wall paper you have there.
