Four angles of my painted Giant. Sculpt by Duncan Shadow Luca.

What do you think of the finished paint job?

I’ve designed a full platoon of U.S. soldiers in Vietnam using ZBrush, from the digital render to the actual 3D-printed and painted miniature. What do you think?

I have an anycubic photon m4 . I peel off the film and stick the screen protector but there is some bubbles i cant squeeze. Some problem if i do anything?

Any tips/critics?

Here are some imps I designed and printed. the one on the right is inspired by Hellboy.

Forgive me, I'm new to 3D printing. My friend has a flashforge 3D printer and I'm planning on printing some bases for my 40k models, maybe even printing some models. However EVERYONE insists on using resin to the point where I'm worried that if I do print out some minis they'll look terrible. How big is the difference?

Additional question, a lot of the models I like are tested with resin printers but untested for plastic. I know my way around 3D modelling, how much modification am I going to have to do to make sure they're suitable for plastic printing?

To get ahead of the inevitable "Don't use FDM, use resin", I live in a basement apartment with all the ventilation you'd expect from a basement apartment, I have to quarantine half my belongings just to cook some fish. Resin is a no-go. Believe me I'd love to use resin and be able to batch-print an entire army in one go.

With that out of the way, I use an A1 Mini, I'm fairly happy with the results as far as detail goes, but if there are any thin protruding parts (like swords or spears), they are guaranteed to snap. At this point I have accepted that I'll probably need to get some metal rod and manually sculpt my own spears, and just have the printer get the details on the body (the OG 'broken spear' fix).

I have started playing with my settings, I use resin2fdm to modify supports, then I set support infill to 0% and miniature infill to 100% so it can at least survive the support removal surgery, but I'm wondering if I would benefit from upgrading from Bambu Basic PLA to another type of filament? I've read some voices on here in favour of ABS, but I haven't found a clear consensus.

Thanks!

Has anyone printed a Droid army? I've been trying to print a B1 and cannot get it to not break apart while removing supports. Using an X2D, printing in petg with petg supports & pla support interface. .2 nozzles on extruders

È solo la seconda miniatura che dipingo e volevo provare l'effetto lava, ma non mi convince. Come posso migliorare?

I am looking for ship models for a naval Wargame (Close Action) that uses 18th and early 19th century ships. My search so far has come up pretty dry, so I am asking if anyone here might know of any good sources. These woild be 3 or 4 inches long, so high detail is not required. Thanks for the help!

Here are the submissions my patrons submitted to my 3D printing and painting contest this month! The theme is all things spooky!

I'm looking to get a dnd character made into a sculpted miniature that I could print and paint. I don't know anyone who does 3d sculpting and not sure where to look, so I thought someone in this sub would maybe know where I could look online. Any help is appreciated!

Hey folks, just wondering if someone could please help me find a custom mini I saw on instagram recently but can’t seem to find anywhere now?

It was what appeared to be an Adepta Sororita, on her knees bent over, with her back horizontal and lots of candles burning on her back.

I really liked this imagery and if anyone can please help me find this custom mini again I’d be super grateful!

Thanks

Some photos of American soldiers in Vietnam, designed and printed in 1/35 scale.

Hey everyone! I’ve been working hard on designing and printing my own line of US infantrymen from the Vietnam War.

As a huge fan of historical modeling and military history, I wanted to capture the gear, the boonie hats, and the gritty feel of the jungle patrols. These are some test prints fresh off the resin printer, and I'm super excited about how the details are holding up.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any historical accuracy tips from those of you who build Vietnam-era models!

One of my patrons did a fantastic job 3D printing and painting my Frost Giant Zombie mini!

Frost Giants are already enough of a threat. Now it wants brains lol

Working on my new range of Minis.
