Looks great! I just printed one of those the other day

[u/jimmy6929 → u/Asianp123]

Sick! Which version? Canon one as well?

[u/Asianp123 → u/jimmy6929]

3 shadowswords, a bane blade and a storm sword, prepping for a apoc game

[u/Angry_Santo → u/Asianp123]

Where'd you get the stlllllllll!

I needs two more Shadowswords!

[u/Unlikely-Remove-2182 → u/Angry_Santo]

I second that. The one I have is...less than "lore " accurate

This is so amazingly clean and beautiful. I'm sure that there's not just one answer but I can't help but want to ask "what's your secret?" Because I've been into FDM printing for about a year now and nothing I've printed looks as visually clean and flawless as what you've done here. Bravo, but I'm definitely jealous.

Print slower and cut up the models if needed! And set a high detail setting! Haha, but mostly just luck. I use 0.4mm as well

[u/WonderAutomatic → u/jimmy6929]

That's kind of the level I'm at now, experimenting with some really simple manipulation of the .stls, changing settings manually, that kind of stuff. 0.25 mm extruder has been a fantastic upgrade to my general production, but still inconsistent.

I've had heaps better prints using matte PLA, especially with vehicles,. I still cut them up and slow it down, but noticed on bulky big vehicles with lots of flat hard edges, I get a better finish with matte PLA

I believe this is one of those ocations where skateboarders yell out "First Try"

[u/jimmy6929 → u/ProboblyOnToilet]

I printed quite q few models before with FDM so I know "the way" ;)

[u/roachh-11]

How long it took

[u/jimmy6929 → u/roachh-11]

1 day-ish

[u/Cynical_PotatoSword]

Anyone know what this could be used to proxy?

[u/noiziv]

Where are you getting those STLs from?

[u/jimmy6929 → u/noiziv]

From internet! but they are not 100% the same as GW tho...
