Question about supports, and, before I go further, I did watch videos but I would like your input/tips: I have been using autosupport for structures on Lychee, it’s led to some damage of the figures details (Pits, chips, etc) If I’m printing say, figures in pieces, (arms, legs, heads) how many supports do I truly need? Now I will say I understand with bulky or heavy models you need to have better supports, but if I’m printing smaller figures, or their details, say like a blade or staff, what would that look like?Also, side quest question, what kind of snippers should I use? Because mine I’m assuming aren’t of good quality. Attached is a pic of latest print, came out well, had to learn about scaling after, well, you see his little brother.Plus, printing today, if all goes well I’ll post follow up pics if anyone wants, any info/critiques are welcome.
>>98115339>If I’m printing say, figures in pieces, (arms, legs, heads) how many supports do I truly need?Probably not as many as you think, but its impossible to give you an answer that is valid in general. There are so many factors to consider, from the file in question itself, to your resin, your lift speed, the age of your fep etc.
>>98113865yay
Dude what the fuck
>>98115339Try manually supporting if you want an answer to your Q. Start with something infantry sized; go bottom up, hit every island that pops up with your smallest support size. Replace/supplement a couple of those supports with your next size up towards the bottom as anchors (shoot for the soles of the feet; if those scar, you don't have to care). Add a couple more supports here and there where you think the model is going to get stressed while printing. When you think it's enough, it probably is.
>>98118138Is this from the new slicer dragonfruit or was the file fucked from the start?
>new tranny>thread deadwas it a mistake?
Shameless shilling here. Working on posing up my Macarbe Janitor ogres.Will be done this weekend.
does anyone have stls for the EC army and or the new defiler? i kinda need rhinos, spawns, tormentors, infractors, exultants and daemon princes. i just got into the hobby and i am not selling my soul ( yet) to GWendolin. Also OP is a fag.
There was this rather nice leman russ model on makerworlds by two goblins in a coat, sadly GW takedown seem to got it down and I foolishly deleted my file after printing it, if anyone got it could you throw into some archive to share around for those who would like to use it?
>>98125799bWF5YmUgY2hlY2sgdGhlIHRhbmsgb2YgV2FyZ2FtZSBUZXJyYWluIFByaW50IHRoZXJl
>>98125956That would be close, but different design then one I was after
>>98124573as long as you're posting it here, shill away brother. those look cool
Despite having shed warcraft a long time ago, some of the designs are still pretty cool. So my vampire lord got a tier 8 helmet and a runeblade, and the necromancer got a goat skull hat like in wc3
I've got too many prints now and not enough painted and I want to print more
>>98127866
was anyone able to snag the Scrungaloid kits before they got wiped out?
>>98113865>SSBmaW5hbGx5IGRpZCBpdC4gaHR0cHM6Ly90Lm1lLysySExzanJPTjBiQXhPRGhlink is dead for me. I haven't been on /tg/ in a week...
>>98127866Haha you printed your own pile of shameHaha
So did anything come out of that one lolsuit that GW filed some months ago against that Italian guy who made 'Space Marines at home'?
>We have used AI to speed up 3D modelling process, and to create the KS bannerAnd then you look at the models and it's obvious slop. Their buildings have non-sense design with hinges on both edges of doors.This gets 2.5k pledged on KS. Are people blind or just tasteless?
>>98128757Ask again in 2-3 years. legal fights are slow. So far, he is still active, nothing got removed, but its noticeable that he makes up more own lore for his releases, and also mentions the OPR compatibility more than before.Among his recent releases are>Space Elves Spiders>Space Elves Scorpions>Space Elves Plasma Lancers
>>98128757only good thing is the court is located in italy and not muttlandI hope Ghamak wins and GW earns the L
>>98128763How about a link?
>>98128763Both. I happen to be part of a telegram channel for Kickstarter group buys and at least 7 out of 10 are rancid ai generated goyslop that couldn't be mistaken for humanmade by a blind mole. People flock to buy that shit, Kickstarter and Cults are full of it.
>>98128763We had the discussion in one of the last threads, about STL pricing. These guys stuff is pretty cheap, because its simplistic and AI made. Thats okay in my opinion. pic related is $2,50.I've seen "hand" sculpted STL files with worse Gnolls, for higher prices.
>>98128778>only good thing is the court is located in italy and not muttlandAfter seeing the batshit crazy stolen Lego collection case of recency, I can only hope the Italian courts are more reasonable.>>98128769It seems like a fair few do that to cover their own asses with. But as long as it works.
>>98128857>But as long as it works.If it works, why not. Better than having to admit your models are for no game in particular, and somehow look similar to GW stuff.
>>98128819I did not even look at the price, but yeah, 6-8eur for 30-50 models even if they are slop is ok if you just want some throwaway stuff on your table quick I guess. >gnollsI don't think I ever stumbled upon good gnolls, maybe Vae Victis, but every other had such retarded heads
>>98126079Here's the other two kits in the line so far (the junior command squad is part of the infantry kit). The ogres will be done this weekend. The next two kits are a monopose command squad with commissar that will be absolutely pimped the fuck out, then a combat engineer squad with a caught defector with a suicide vest.Then a one off recon squad based on the Podhale Rifles then a full army again of Space Cossacks that will be an attempt at tackling the super fleshed out regiment of the Lucky 13's who have a single piece of line art in a single codex.
>>98129078nice, I like it when regiments or factions like these make it to physical in some formAlso do you have any pics of the death cult elf guards printed?Or do you know if they are compatible with evil space elf plastic arms?
>>98129101I have a picture on my Insta. I wouldn't know desu never owned an Eldar kit.Also, as you can probably tell, I never quite got the elf lines to work fully. I have a timetable with my current projects and will do a mega elf kit that will essentially just be one single kit with EVERY permutation for an Elf infantry model in a year. Like 15 torsos, 20 leg options, weapons out the ass, etc it'll be cooler than buying those.
>>98129078Nice stuff. Liked and put on my wishlist for potential future purchase
Perchance for some reason isn’t working for its image to 3d thing.It only takes one image when I tried it via the phone.Anybody know if it will get the basics of the other image to 3d generators using multiple images for one model?
I got $150 more STLs for a total of $1k worth Hopefully I will have time to print again soon, haven't had it in a year
>>98129140>I wouldn't know desu never owned an Eldar kit.lolthey look ok though
>>98129078Back in my day, shills gave us a free model before begging for money.
>>98132308I have several free ones on my Cults profile.
People who import two sets of stls onto blender and combine details of each then call it a "kitbash" should be butchered and bled out in the street
>>98132693what if it's three
>>98129078I'm shit at judging from renders - are these scaled/proportioned to match older plastic Guard or the nuCadians?
>>98132800You're not alone. There's no way to get good, accurate scal in vacuum. They're close to older plastic guard. They're fully compatible with TMCs Universal Guard if that means anything to you.
>>98132807Ah that's a shame, I've already got a couple of forces derived from nuCadians and I'm a gigantic autist about scale consistency. Might grab the core set anyway and try printing the arms and heads a smidge undersized and see if they fit the nuCadian bodies, a little sculpting work to add the longer coat with the trim shouldn't be too big a job for a kill team's worth.
>>98133193I believe Universal Guard is pretty much the new GW scale for humans.
I love Bestiarum, but sometimes they suffer from too much detail.Look at the crucifixes on her shoulders and the potion vials on her belt. This is impossible to print at a minigaming scale.
>>98133193>>98133200I was curious myself so I found some scans online for a size comparison. The torsos are like dead fucking ringer BUT the legs and arms are about 0.5 to 1mm short.I also have the scale tism and is why I chose the scale I chose. I would like to warn you, the trim on the coat is hard sculpted into the model so extension of the coat would be uh... tedious. You would have an easier time negating the scale issue by upping the size to 105%-ish or just padding out the base a TINY bit or you could stetch out the feet and legs ate tasteful points by a pubes width and game it.Not offended either way. I'm not financially reliant on this in any way, though I want to be one day, but I also understand armies are personal art projects that have a certain vision in mind from their creators.You know what? Fuck it. I'll drop an A frame guy on cults later tonight (Australia) so people can see if the scale works for them.
>>98133312Oh no I meant a coat & trim extension onto plastic nuCadian bodies with epoxy putty.
>>98133312Also the Ogryn head - lol, lmao. Flawless.
>>98133264>sometimesSometimes? Their stuff looks great on the render pics, but its pretty much always too much detail. Compare this with >>98133312 or >>98129078That is how much detail gaming figures should have. (just using Anons work here, because the posts are here and allow to easily link them).
>>98133264Less is more - i also like their stuff, they really have awesome ideas, and their takes on specific horror tropes are usually excellent, but i like oldschool sculpting even more than their typical digital sculpting style
>>98133399You should check out Imitation of Life and Knucklebones.
>>98133408I know both of them, and several others like big mr tong or onmioji miniatures, who is probably one of my favourites. i just thought it would be a nice contrast to show a sloppy AI picture of the same miniature, just in the style of the 90s handsculpting, but with the design of Bestiarum (which really are top notch)
>>98133365Sometimes because there can always be a monster can be painted with reasonable difficulty.Although this one is sized like a Space Marine so it's easier in general.
>>98133445Pic related i would rather call the exception in their catalogue, but not the rule
>>98128511I'm too much of a newfag to understand any of these links, and I know that I need to lurk more because the moneygrubbers monitor these threads, but holy shit I just want play with my friends and I need some Space Monks and regular guys with flashlights ;__;Can anybody help me with some hints? I don't even know which programs to use.
>>98133818Do you even have a printer? Check Cults and MMF.
>>98133825I do.Thanks, I might start checking again
>>98133818The code nonsense is just retards thinking they're in some Super Sekrit Spehsul Klub and they're geniuses who've outwitted the mighty James Workshop, when the reality is that GW Legal have an intern who searches for keywords and issues a bunch of takedowns once or twice a year, and also defeated the Great Satan who was Reportanon, some twat who liked to submit copyright reports to Mega etc when the reality there is they simply got bored for the moment because they're just as capable of chucking the string of gibberish into a search engine that will tell them it's Base64 or Rot13 encoded and point them to a decoder site.Security through obscurity is a myth, and the best defence is spreading stuff so widely that there's always someone willing to reup it when it's inevitably taken down.As for cults & mmf, start by searching for broad and generic terms like "40K" and hopefully one or two things will pop up that have the currently fashionable non-trademarked comedy name creators are using for your chosen faction, Angry Space Bumboys or whatever, then you can find more stuff by searching for that specifically.
>>98134068Nta but thanks, do you have a list of links of telegram links that contain warhammer stls?
>>98134110I'm helpful, but I'm not going to play Here Comes The Aeroplane for you. The app has a search bar, search for stuff and join the groups that pop up ffs.
>>98134943Too much work, jus let me know where the cool kids hang at
Friends, countrymen, lend me your ears. Before James nuked his 40K stuff from orbit, has anyone archived Wilph's stuff? I'd kill for his Marines.
>>98135116Why do you not simply write him a message?

Unable to share models at the moment but does anybody have the entire collection of fummelfinger’s thunder warrior models?I’ve got the wga damned stls (pre plastic design) and Les grognard cavalry. I am not sure if the files have the horses if they even had them at all and I’m not sure if the wga plastic horses ever got cleaned scans.I’ll check back tomorrow.Hopefully my pc is back so I can share if the fummel tw models are shared.>>98128778>>98128857Maybe ChapterHouse sets precedent so ghamak will be fine?>stolen legosQuick rundown?>>98129078Good stuff man.
Odd question but has anybody used an ai to modify a 3d stl of a humanoid to be “reposed” to T-poses and also rigged for posing?Does an ai program even exist capable of doing that?
>>98135463as someone who works for a company that desperately wants to stop paying its riggers, no there isn't really an AI capable of doing it yet. Theres some internal protos, but they all take way too much human fixing.
>>98135608Fair enough on the rigging part.How about the reposing of posed models back into A or T poses?Is there an ai service that does that?
>>98135619not that im aware of. Whats your goal here? if youre looking to just adjust the posing, you can do it pretty easy on blender, youtube repose stl to get a walk through
>>98135651I just wanted to archive some resin aftermarket models as stls hopefully run some commands to remove bubbles and mouldlines if there are any and commands to do so and the. “Restore” the models back to the original t. Pose to reuse the sculpts for other means.But it looks like I’ll have to do it the hard way via a tutorial then.Which means hoping my iq is good enough for the job.What tutorial in blender did you find most easiest to follow?

Just lurk in them and occasionally somebody posts an invite to a new group
does anybody know creators or ranges that make classic dwarfs? By classic I mean older sculpting styles. big noses and beards and winged helms. Ornate rifles and animal cloaks. Pickaxes and crossbows. Kegs of beer and woad-tattooed berserkers.I know there is a metric crap-ton of dwarfs out there but I'm been playing lots of Total War WH3 and I miss the old dwarfy look. I'm just hoping you guys can recommend a creator or point me in a direction based of your experience.Avatars of war have some cool models that kind of what I'm looking for, but the hand sculpted stuff is plastic only and I don't think they (nor would I want to pay for) them to ship to East Asia. They have printable files for sale but they're noticeably different.
How important is size of buildplate when it comes to printing larger things than Warhammer (1/8 scale statues, props etc)?Basically is an Anycubic P1 enough for those purposes or am I better off waiting for the P1 Max?

>>98138187AI is already making everything dogshit now. The thing is there really isn't a fence sitter and most people are generally against it because it simply looks bad. We're hitting a saturation point where it can't get much better.

Now they're hitting hardware and phsyics limitations.The shit that was already posted in this thread is quite likely 95% of what the AI will ever acheive and it looks like shit still. Is there tons of manmade shit? Yeah, but it was made for like 1 trillionth the cost.

Any recommendations on a dremel tool or other small, handheld device that I can use to quickly sand small bumps and ridges on my resin 3d models? They were left behind by supports that didn't break off as cleanly as I'd liked when I printed the figures and don't want to spend hours hand sanding the stuff. Bonus if it can also be used for stuff like an electric screwdriver or have detachable heads for allen wrench sizes and various sized screwheads.
Just got an Elegoo Saturn 4 (not ultra).I wanna add a magnetic plate to my Elegoo Saturn 4 (not ultra), but I'm afraid of the extra length of the added magnetic plate will cause the buildplate to punch through and break through the Fep film and LCD screen like a hydraulic press.I went to calibrate it in manual mode, but I see that there's zero option to set the buildplate to 0, like in the Saturn 3.Anyone else use a magnetic plate with their Saturn 4?

>>98143170Trial and error or using a digital copy of the original miniature to fit the parts in the software
>>98143373People in here always tell to buy "ultra" over the normal version, usually its even buy the previous ultra, instead of the current regular one.
So are the tilting vats and auto leveling still shit or is it worth getting?I am thinking about getting a mars 5 ultra
>>98143432I am gonna be in pains>>98143643>trial and error Well this sucks alright then.In another note is there an eta on when plastic glue compatible 3d printing “resin” becomes a thing.A bit of wishful thinking but I always enjoyed plastic gluing models over super glue gel usage.I really do not like cleaning up the super glue mist that sometimes appears.
>>98142861I risked it and the machine will take into account the magnetic plate and auto-leveled it accordingly.Yippie.
>>98144416Word of warning about build plates; when the instructions say "wait 24-48 hours for the adhesive on the magnet to fully cure" they mean it. I'm willing to bet the bad rep they've gotten is from people who didn't and have loose magnets ruining their prints.
>>98144140I get good results on a Mars 2 without any of those features. The resolution is the important part. Just do a few test prints to figure out what settings you need to tweak. The biggest one for me was the delay after lifting since I don't have a resin heater and my basement is cool.

What is the recommended resin for dummies printing their first minis nowadays? I want something I can buy on Amazon to get it before the weekend and I don't want to fuck with mixing different kind of resin for my first printing session.
>>98145705=/
>>98145705Now this is proper trolling.
>>98145714I'm using ABS like for the first time the last 20 or so prints I've done and it's working great without even changing my exposure settings from standard resin, so I'd go with that, using anycubic clear specifically if that matters to you.
>>98145714Siraya Tech ABS-like. I use grey and creamy mostly.
>>98145810>>98145829I really wish "ABS-like" was dropped from the resin production industry, the material is not ABS and it does not have the properties of ABS, it is just "Extra Strong Resin" and only relative to standard resin at that.It's an intentionally misleading misnomer the same as calling LLM procedural generation "AI"
I assume that water-wash resin still sucks, is that correct?
>>98146493Its not correct. ABS-like water washable (despite the name) is good.
>>98146509That's new for me. The last time I checked reviews was about 2 years ago. Which brand turned out to be a game-changer?
What a fucking retarded statement
>>98146548whatever it is is less retarded than making this statement without responding to the statement you are bitching about.
How is any resin material for making replacement safety caps for hobby knives?Excel Blades K18 Btw.
>>98146548>Vagueposting
I've never printed with translucent/clear abs-like resin before. Is there any difference between translucent and opaque resin? I don't care about keeping it clear, I simply want to buy a few kilo because I found a nice deal on it.
>>98147021Some anons here believe it cures internally better post-print, other anons here vehemently believe this is physically impossible, but even those haven't stated any reason not to use clear resin.So your prints may cure better internally with it and may therefore last longer on the shelf.

Long shot but does anyone have the norse dwarf army by Varus Miniatures? I mentioned this last thread >>98057789, I pledged for them as an add-on in his new dwarf KS, but it's now been over 8 weeks since payments were taken and he hasn't made any communications or updates in that time, he hasn't even logged into KS since the project funded. Turns out he's been working on a trench crusade project on another KS account all this time. Multiple backers from the dwarf KS have messaged him on other platforms and he promised he'd post an update "soon", but that was over a week ago also. In the meantime it seems he's been promoting his trench crusade stuff at the UK Games Expo.So if anyone has seen these dorfs on their travels I'd be greatly obliged, before I resign myself to a long weekend with tripo3D. Cheers anons
>>98152207these? if yes I'll throw them in the group

Is lychee pro worth it for supporting minis?
How expensive is the equipment for 3d scanning? I have a bunch of old pewter I want to back up, in case my original is lost or damaged.
>>98154034Why? It works just fine in free.
Anons is resin good enough for some “utilitarian” stls?If not would resin be good enough for something similar like a hobby knife replacement cap?Im not looking to make a gun and I don’t think resin is durable enough for something like that.Source:https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-x-acto-knife-gripster-cap-282007I generally plan to print miniatures but I can see myself needing to print a replacement craft knife cap due to my nature of misplacing things.>>98154155Nta but what’s the best Linux compatible software like lychee unless I missed that it is compatible?
>>98154940Lychee on Linux is a pain in the ass. I'm currently using an older version of ChituBox (they currently don't support Linux).Lychee takes an extremely long time to start on my system and connects to its DRM server on each startup, even on the free version.MMF's upcoming slicer might work, but they haven't commited to Linux at this point, so it's a Catch 22 (Linux user are less likely to invest if their system isn't supported, they are less likely to support Linux investors don't ask for it).Prusa Slicer offers some resin slicing on Linux but it only supports a few printers.
>>98155080Any opinions on orcaslicer?I just need a good list of the Linux compatible stl related software.So far I’ve got blender and faststl and that’s it.
>>98155093Orca Slicer works fine, as does Cura, but they are only usable for FDM.You can use PrusaSlicer to support your minis, export the whole supported plate as a STL and print that with another programm but that's somewhat tedious.
>>98155097So has an idiot proof Linux compatible stl preparation software come out yet then?I don’t really want to mess with wine or other programs to make windows stuff work.They most often don’t work or are often full of bugs.Unless it is proton but that is mostly for vidya games.
>>98155112ChituBox 2.3.1 works well enough, including the network features of modern printers.I tried to use Wine for the current version, but that didn't work as well.
>>98154045Take pictures of the mini from all sides and let the AI do it.
>>98155130I’ll look into Prusa some more.I think I saw some slicing features and supports as you mentioned.Here’s hoping it is compatible with mono 4 model printers.
>>98155093>good linux software Let me stop you right there
>>98157765The pleasure of being different even if it is mostly a negative fuels me and my dopamine receptors have been reprogrammed to give me loads of pleasure when anything gets working properly.Therefore I must stick with that Linux.
What kind of cheap table should I get from Amazon to support a printer and a wash and cure station?I bought and assembled one and a sort of gut feeling tells me it isn’t enough.It is one of those black computer desks.
How’s meshyai compared to tripoAi?Just heard of it and am hoping someone with experience with both can give some real opinions.
>>98159794Your gut feeling is wrong.
>>98159794does it support 100lbs of weight and not sway or rock? if so its enough
>>98159879i like when people come to a thread of middle aged men who just want to save money on toy soldiers and expect them to know every ai slop program out there
>>98159879Maybe ask an AI this question?
>>98160345Nta but what if the AI he's asking is also shagging one of the two? What if he got AI babies with that AI? No way he's getting an objective answer.
>>98159879I've tested out the sample versions of both and Tripo absolutely mogs Meshy.
>>98113855I was thinking of commissioning a print of that renegade marine. However, as blasphemous as it is, I'm not a big fan of the chainsaw hand. Are there alternative space marine hands that start from the elbow?
>>98160294>and expect them to know every ai slop program out thereThat's actually very easy.There are none as AI doesn't exist yet, none of these algorithms being fraudulently referred to as "AI" possess any form of intellect or consciousness, nor any other of the subtly varied attributes which constitute an intelligence.The difference between all of these programs and say... the random map generation algorithm of any 90's pc game is one of complexity.There is no AI in existence.
>>98160880actually, words don't exist. What people call words are actually just letters strung in a sentence. The only difference between a word and some random assortment of letters is one of complexity. There is no words in existence.
Might as well try. Does anyone have stls for Damsa's unique Night Lords characters before he got hit by C&D? At least Skraivok would be much appreciated

Is it worth buying a used resin printer?A used electronics store in my country has listed a used Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra bundled with a wash/cure station for €275, with a 6 month guarantee. I can't inspect it in person as it's across the country and I can't be assed to drive. I previously bought a used ender from them which turned out fine, only needed a hotend swap. Advice???
>>98163080It's probably fine but doesn't sound like a great deal to be driving across the country for.
>>98163080>for €275You can buy a brand new high resolution resin printer for less than this, and unless you REALLY want to print more than 4-6 32mm scale figures at a time that entry level printer will be all you ever need (until it breaks down).This isn't like buying a used car, it's more like buying a used fleshlight.Don't.
>>98163170I'll just get it delivered. Only mentioned it because I can't really inspect it beforehand which is the main concern>>98163209Yeah, figured as much. I was just wondering since resin printers have a lot more consumable parts than FDM, and I've only ever bought used FDM printes and been fine generally
>>98163251>a lot more consumable partsThis is my individual experience only, but I had one go for 3 years needing only FEP replacement every 2-3 months and at the 3 year mark the UV bulb array in it burnt out, instead of replacing it I upgraded to a higher resolution printer as it was only 2k resolution, entry levels are now much better.With the 4k/8k printers you can get now there would be no reason to buy a new one rather than replace the uv bulb array or lcd panel when one goes bad.
>>98163325Im surprised the 2k-4k-16k terms are still thrown around like they matter when it comes to 3D printers.It's not the resolution of the screen, people!! it's the size of the pixel!!!it's usually measured in micrometers (μm). A printer might have high resolution but if the screen is huge the pixel might be large. Similarly, a small screen with a medium resolution might have smaller pixel size. Basically, the smaller the better.As a reference, my old cheap anycubic (Mono 2) printer is 34 μm. It has a 4K screen. I am planning to get bigger printers that have better pixel sizes, around 20-30. But some of the biggest printers would have worse pixel sizes. For example, the Jupiter SE is 4K+ resolution, but it has a fucking huge screen, so a worse pixel size of 51 μm
>>98160880
>>98168708Where did you think you were?
>>98169035Probably reddit
>>98160491Thanks.There are epic proxy makers selling their stuff for gw tier prices. 3d printed too. Not even small business can justify that.I’m not sure if it is knowing that their things are gonna get scanned.It made me wanna find a buy group and we mail the stuff to a trusted scanner for archiving as stls.I’m unsure if that kind activity is legal though.
>>98171553How is this relevant to those AI programs?
I'm tired of cathedrals, I want favelas, anyone got good necromunda style terrain?
>>98171727https://makerworld.com/en/collections/4755883-modular-hive-city
>>98171553>I’m unsure if that kind activity is legal though.So? Cops got more important shit to do than crack down on people scanning toy soldiers.Laws like these almost exclusively rely on self-enforcement, the idea that law enforcement is all powerful which is at odds with the fact that it is numerically impossible to enforce the law.

>>98174316>ntaHow good is zbrush (pirated) on Linux?I am planning on getting into sculpting models after I get good at remixing and editing minis.But I switched to Linux after windows 11 came out and oddly enough overcoming problems and finding out it isn’t too bad just feels weirdly good.Also any tips on sculpting stl 28mm scale minis please?
>>98174614For sculpting 28mm, simplify everything, do everything way larger than you think is needed.I just modified some hexhunter scans with custom helmets, and all the details were way too tiny, even though I tried to overemphasize them.Also its good to decide for what you want the models used before you model. 28mm heroic looks way different than normal, so think about what kind of minis yours will often stand next to.as for zbrush versions, from what I've heard, some patches even on windows are not good enough and some features freeze after a while, so you might need to shop around until you find one that works reliable.For Zbrush, get a graphic tablet. Even a cheap small one makes it soo much better, and watch some tutorials. It is designed to speed up the workflow for professionals, so it wants you to use hotkeys and almost everything is unintuitive at first.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx8Ni_7bgYw&list=PLkzopwqcFevYP1Nm3wIKsyH-jQTkk8AhS

Just had my mind blown by a video, guy was brushing printer resin onto his FDM prints and curing it by UV flashlight to smooth out layer lines, looks like a faster and easier method than acetone fuming.

>>98136180now make her tits bigger
>>98179135>Linux>Act surprised when the nothing-works operating system has an issue where something doesn't work
What is the best printer at the moment? I'm willing to spend more for something high end if it means better performance.
>>98182228Entry level printers like the mono4 will do higher levels of detail than you can paint or handle without breaking.
>>98182228If I had the money I would buy a Jupiter 2. That kind of printing size and resolution has got me drooling
>>98180572Trvhtful postTrvth and only the trvth
>>98183482>That kind of printing sizeIt doesn't matter what size the build plate is, printing large items in resin just causes warping issue, too much suction involved.and given that printing 6-8 28mm figures at a time only takes 3-4 hours with the highest levels of detail and antialiasing, which take a lo longer than that to paint, who needs a bigger build plate for those? It's just a much more expensive machine for not very much gain
>>98184108>printing large items in resin just causes warping issueis that true? I wanted to print large tanks as one piece
>>98184121as one piece will be less trouble, but I printed a starfleet shuttlecraft at 15mm scale in resin in two pieces (removable top for playable interior) and the fit was absolutely atrocious, plus there were delamination issue on the flat interior floor of the bottom half.If you can do it single piece and you can align it so that no large flat sections will be printed at any one time (angle the print and hollow it, no large solid surfaces) then you can probably do it without noticing.But large items are best done on FDM.If you want a resin finish with FDM print small bits separate and glue them on (sponsons, radar dish, smoke launchers, etc...) and do as anon above saw in a video and brush printer resin on after and cure with a flashlight to get rid of layer lines.But as for layer lines if you print with a layer height of 0.06mm or even 0.08mm (standard 0.4 nozzle is fine) then even those shouldn't be too noticeable without smoothing.
>>98184135Just butting into this conversation, this is an inquisitor printed at 0.06 layer height
>>98184153That is what resin is for.But some dumbasses are always trying to iceskate uphill.The only thing preventing resin from being used for large items as well is the limitations of suction reliance in the tool, larger print beds are just spending extra money to discover this physical limitation.
>>98182584That's not true.
>>98184548You just don't know how to tune your settings.
Didn't realize how cheap entry level resin printers were. What kind of setup is needed to print in my office so I dont get mega cancer aids from the fumes?
>>98185018grow tent and air pump hooked to outside. mask and gloves for when youre using it.
>>98185018>in my officeHome office I presume? because if you do it at work everyone is going to bitch about things they don't know about.An open window and vinyl gloves will suffice, the most important thing is just to not drink the resin.
>>98185102>>98185018Oh and an open window for ventilation, but don't allow your liquid resin or your uncured prints to be in sunlight until after you remove the supports with hot water, some nice heavy curtains will save you a lot of headache.

Huh??>Second print has the sword not able to fit through the skull>But the ale on that print fits perfectly on the mug!This is on the same print. what gives? It's giving me multiple readings that I'm both overexposed and underexposed at the same time.
>>98185413Is your plate level?
>>98185420Highly confident that it is, I've had prints where there are minis covering the entire buildplate with none looking like picrel (not my pic).I do use a magnetic buildplate for convenience, if that's relevant.
>>98185420Hmmm. I did left that printed calibration test on the buildplate for like 18hrs because I slept and woke up for work, before then finally taking it out of the plate. If that's relevant too.
>>98184153You seem to be doing something wrong or it's your camera, I don't know.0.06 is ok for getting models on the table to play with. You can try to go down to 0.05 or even 0.04, but I heard it gets finicky
>>98185653Some minis can look decent with FDM, some can't.
>>98185692Actually, yeah, true. I have some armored space dwarves that just wouldn't come out right.
>>98113855I know this board is for resin only, but i'm trying to take my shoot here.Does anyone know if the Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo is a good printer for 350€-400€? There are some stuff i couldn't print with the resin printer and thought this oculd help me out with terrain and other stuff
>>98186292>resin onlyI wouldn't call it anti FDM. I own both a resin and a FDM printer. It just gets annoying when people claim that their Bambu prints better than some 1st generation Photon.I can't really comment on the Kobra, I recently got a Centauri as a replacement for my Ender 3. Anycubic seems to be a bit more restrictive with how their printers can be addressed from the local network.You might want to check out the DIY thread which is more focused on FDM: >>2992972
>>98186637>addressed from the local networkI've only ever used flash drives or sd cards to load files into my printers.
>>98186637idk man, I had a guy on here claim my print wasn't from a FDM printer, he said I purposely de-tuned a resin printer to make these prints just to trollSome people don't want to admit FDM can sometimes be decent.
>>98186637I don't understand the obsession with getting prints as good as normal injection moldsTo me, these are game pieces, and they just need to be good enough to play the game
>>98187110Why 3d print then? Why not just use pieces of cardboard?Maybe you like the game to have a certain look? Maybe your standards are just lower than most?
>>98186292>this board is for resin onlyNot at all, it's just stupid for people to use FDM for small minis or to use resin for large minis.You don't use a powerdrill for nails, you don't use a claw hammer for screws.Using tools incorrectly will get you mocked.
>>98187110I would be very upset if my prints were as good as injection molds, resin printers are easily capable of far more detail and structural complexity
Is VoxelDance Tango any useful? I got a lifetime license and I wonder if I should bother over Chitubox.
>>98187095>>98187110I'm not arguing that FDM can produce decent minis. They just aren't as good as resin printed ones.>>98187354Not to mention no mould lines.
>>98187244>Maybe your standards are just lower than most?Yeah, I think I'm a worse person than you because of the minis I use to play a game.
>>98187590Only bad people deal in absolutes
>>98187590>I think I'm a worse person than you because of the minis I use to play a gameRightfully so, that's correct.
>>98187674>absolutes>worseyou retard
>>98187695Aw man, I know it too. When I play games, the rules don't account for my slightly worse minis, and that makes the game less fun.
>>98187991It's okay, don't strain yourself trying to figure it out.
Guys do i induge and buy the expensive printer that can make wood textured stuff or do i just buy the biggest but cheapest one to work on casual projects? not even a wargame guy, i'd just make my own accesories
>>98188136>that can make wood textured stuffThat's a property of the STL, not a specific printer.
how do I stop multishell issues with jlcpcb? I've went through the obvious rigmarole of cleaning the models up myself but half the time they still complain about it even when the software says different. Similar issue with "non-manifold geometry" but that's generally fixed with simple repairs.
>>98185653fdm printers move in 0.04 increments, but can hold half steps decently, so there's no 0.05 only 0.04 and 0.060.04 is too thin and material at steep angles will unravel easily.
>>98187244Because that's as good as he can be arsed to get it, and so he'll have to tell himself that it's good enough.
>>98188157meshmixer -> separate shellsyou'll see themyou can use Make Solid to fix it

>>98179135>try lychee. There's no plate, the model is textureless and clicking any button just removes the entire UI leaving the window completely blankLychee worked pretty good for me. Are you running it natively or using wine?
>>98186292I have a Kobra 2 Pro and it's fine for terrain. The landing pad in pic related is FDM, the VTOL is resin. Most terrain will be coated in something and at least painted, that gives you the opportunity to hide the layer lines. I use filler primer and a lot of sanding, combined with sheet styrene to cover particularly bad areas. >>98188136you mean that weird UV printer that adds textures or depth to pictures? No, just buy an FDM printer, it will be a lot more useful and you can do the same gimmick.
Just had a quick browse for some Ork STLs and holy shit there is so many fucking awful STL designers out there charging top money for their dogshit, what morons is buying this shit
Just bought my tenth set of Ork STLs this year and holy shit there are so many fucking amazing STL designers putting their stuff out there, I'm glad I'm gainfully employed and can support their work by buying it
I just joined a telegram group and pirated a bunch of ork stls and holy shit, I'm never paying money for something I can get for free.I'm glad the retards that are infringing on GW's IP will get no money and will cry about how unfair it is someone would infringe on their IP
>>98191709You're retarded.GW's empire is built on GW infringing upon other IP's
>>98191709>I'm glad the retards that are infringing on GW's IP will get no moneyMany of them are even members of those groups and use them to promote their stuff.
>>98191805>GW's empire is built on GW infringing upon other IP'sFor sure, I am aware of that, that's why I infringe on your IP which is infringing on theirs.In what world is pointing out that GW is a bag of dicks going to make me decide not to pirate your shit?>>98191961You live in a fantasy land if you think someone going to telegram for pirated content is going to open their wallet.
modelled and posed some 28mm bat wings to make harpies with some plastic ghouls i have lying around. really happy with the result, all in all, hope the prints come out fine
>>98192049I don't sell STL's, the few I've made are free to begin with.I'm saying piracy behind the justification of "it's IP infringement" is bullshit.Be a pirate, just don't make excuses for it, I pirate too, I'm not going to try and make some argument that "it's okay that I do it because of moral standing!" I do it because I believe prices are too high and I don't want to pay, end of story.
>>98192718I wasn't making excuses, I was making a joke and copying the previous two posters sentence structure. Are you even a person? Does context mean nothing to you?
>>98193012Uh-huh.
>>98115917>>98120025Thank you for telling me this you two, I’ve made many more prints since this, and found that most of my problems came from the slicer crashing. I noticed, after many inexplicable fails, that the file size was too small.Now I’ve upgraded (downgraded?) to chitubox 1.9.5, Linux, I have a fully offline system, so I don’t have to worry about the whole digital handshake bullshit.I would say right now, I’ve just about maxed out my autism stat, but you guys will probably tell me I’m merely a novice at best.Either way, now I HAVE to learn manual supports, because Linux will crash if I attempt auto in CTB 1.9.5. I did test prints of terminator 40mm bases from Cults, and found that they worked, I just copied the size and density dimensions of them from Lychee auto options, and put the same STL in lychee, auto’s it, and copied it manually in CTB.>>98116096As for your question, I found it doing a general search in Cults. Look under Ultramarines, and find the specific unit. There are several types!Right now I’m building an army of 1k Dusty Bois, and although I’ve only got these two squads done, now that I know the ins and outs of the files, transfers, limitations, and physical stuff, I’m confident I can do full plate prints on my next day off all day, where as before I was only managing small ones do to my computers limitations.

>>98194252Don't forget to use lost wax type resin.
Anyone got any Warhammer scans they would be willing to share? I got telegram
>>98113855Someone got a file like pic related? I need some as base decoration
>>98193085No one's buying your overpriced stl
>>98196003Illiterate ESL faggots should stay on the parts of the internet that exist in their own language.
>>98196151shut the fuck up and stop shilling
>>98196363Ooooooh! Struck a nerve!
>>98196388Yeah you did, I'm so activated right now. Because you got me so good, I've changed my mind, I'll now buy your stl
>>98196657You still need to learn English, at least enough to read it.
>>98194252I already researched it myself. For pewter, you can print the mold directly in high temp resin. I do not have a spin casting machine, so I'm going to try it with a fuckhueg sprue. If that doesn't provide good enough results, I will try sling casting.
>>98147021I've found it can be awkward to print due to light bleed whilst printing; I tried using Elegoo's clear resin and kept getting awful clumps around supports no matter how I set the exposure.. Definitely read reviews for the resin you're buying.
Just moved and this was the first print of the new house. It came out great. I know theoretically i shouldnt have had to change anything but its still nice to know everything still works.
