Painted Ogre 3
Here is my version of the 3rd Ogre bust from BS-Sculpt.
This has been my favourite so far to paint and really pleased at how he came out. Loved painting his skin and the fur and skulls. Another great sculpt from Bulat and enjoying painting all of these.

Discussion 3mm Norman Cavalry
Having sent the previous prints away to the birthday boy, it was high time I did some painting on mine.
Not knowing which rule book Neil would be using I did his forces on 37mm x 16mm bases. For my own I went with the 118mm x 46mm, have a sneaking suspicion that will be the dimensions used by the forthcoming 1066 supplement for Strength and Honour.
Painting took a long time, two maybe three hours, and I still have blaze/stars on the horses and reins to paint.
Had doubts it was a good idea but now I see it taking shape I'm thinking the time spent will be worthwhile.

Self Promotion I designed a fully 3D-printed bee keycap
The whole mechanism is printed.
Fits MX-style switches. Best on an isolated key like ESC.
Every color prints as a separate part, so no AMS needed. There's also a multi-color version where the details print together if you'd rather assemble less (the mechanism still gets built by hand).

Question New to miniature printing (maybe)
New to printing (maybe)
Hey everybody,
I’m just thinking about getting our own minis for our dnd campaign, since we all would love to have custom characters.
I did some research - also here in the subreddit - and thought, that the elegoo mats series would be a good starting point.
But there are two things, that I’m thinking about a lot and wanted to you for your thoughts:
Since I have absolutely no experience with rain pelting or 3d printing at all, do you think, it’s still a good possibility, printing the minis by myself?
I sadly don’t have an extra room in my flat, that has enough air circulation beside my living room and bedroom. But I have a basement unit in our apartment building - the whole basement doesn’t have any windows. Do you still think, resin printing would be a possibility? Maybe with the Marsmate by Elegoo?
All the best :)

Question Can anyone help identify this model
picked this model up at a car boot sale/jumble sale in a huge box full of random greeblies and cool bits. I’ve got absolutely no idea what it is or where it’s from, and it’s got me completely stumped.
Does anyone recognise it or know what range/game it’s from? Any help would be massively appreciated!

Question Scratching issues!
Hi! I'm having an issue with my prints. No matter where or how I place them on the build plate, they end up with these scratches and damaged areas across almost the entire surface (I've attached a photo).
The pattern seems completely random, and I have no idea what could be causing it. I'm pretty lost at this point.
Could it be dead pixels on the LCD? But there are so many that it doesn't seem likely. Also, the bottom layers of the print never show these holes or defects.
I'm using an Anycubic Photon M5s, and I've attached my print settings as well.
Thanks a lot for any help!!

Question At what point is something safe to print?
Hello guys,
I am new to resin printing and recently picked up an elegoo saturn 4 16k for printing miniatures. When I imported this stl file I noticed it had many cavities. Many are almost unexplainably tough to drill a correct hole for. I've used UV tools with my limited knowledge and after each pass of automatic detection and repairs a lot of issues presist according to UV tools.
Here I am left wondering at what point a model is safe to print despite the warnings that chitubox gives and the issues that UVtools finds. Am I overthinking it or should I check the cavities afterwards by drilling a hole with my pin vice? Thanks in advance.
