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.

>>98113865
yay

File: wat.png (99.7 KB)

Dude what the fuck

>>98115339
Try 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.

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?

>We have used AI to speed up 3D modelling process, and to create the KS banner
And 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?

Both. 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.

>>98128763
We 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 muttland

After seeing the batshit crazy stolen Lego collection case of recency, I can only hope the Italian courts are more reasonable.

It 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.

>>98128819
I 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.

Here'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.

>>98129078
nice, I like it when regiments or factions like these make it to physical in some form

Also 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?

>>98129101
I 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.

>>98129078
Nice 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.
lol
they look ok though

>>98129078
Back in my day, shills gave us a free model before begging for money.

>>98132308
I 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

>>98132693
what if it's three

>>98129078
I'm shit at judging from renders - are these scaled/proportioned to match older plastic Guard or the nuCadians?

>>98132800
You'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.

>>98132807
Ah 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.

>>98133193
I believe Universal Guard is pretty much the new GW scale for humans.

File: 1775955450191808.png (367.0 KB)

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.

File: Scale demo.png (1.2 MB)

>>98133193
>>98133200
I 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.

>>98133312
Oh no I meant a coat & trim extension onto plastic nuCadian bodies with epoxy putty.

>>98133312
Also the Ogryn head - lol, lmao. Flawless.

>>98133264
>sometimes
Sometimes? Their stuff looks great on the render pics, but its pretty much always too much detail.

Compare this with >>98133312 or >>98129078
That is how much detail gaming figures should have. (just using Anons work here, because the posts are here and allow to easily link them).

You should check out Imitation of Life and Knucklebones.

>>98133408
I 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)

File: 1755253653109858.png (3.1 MB)

Sometimes because there can always be a monster can be painted with reasonable difficulty.

The 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.

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?

>>98135463
as 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.

>>98135608
Fair 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?

>>98135619
not 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

>>98135651
I 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?

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)?

AI 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. The industry speedran the entire leap that computer graphics took over 20 years in about 3-5 years at a similar overall industry spending cost. Now they're hitting hardware and phsyics limitations.

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?

>>98141259
I just blew 100 bucks getting like 12 of these, and two of them had the backs filed off.

>>98141677
yeah i got this nice little one. rotary handheld. think its called a dremel? heads witch and it sands well. wear a mask
get one with variable speed, you'll want it to be slow or you'll destroy your mini

How do people sculpt 3d printable stls that fit on existing models that are not 3d printed?
If there exists a word for such practice I don’t know what it is.

>>98142962
Good sir you got scammed :(

>Bought regular Saturn 4 over Ultra because I don't care about the gimmick features like the AI camera and meme tilting
>Learned that the Saturn 4 Ultra has even more touchscreen features like manual leveling and resin calibration that for some reason the regular version doesn't have

>>98143193
Nta but
I always seem to fail at finding non-warhammer stuff so I surrender and buy them on myminifactory.
I don’t like to think of how much I’ve spent.
>>98143373

We can suffer together.

>>98143422
Get ready to see every solution video on Youtube, for every printing problem you have, be shown on a Saturn 4 Ultra. Pray to god that their method can be copied to a normal Saturn 4.

>>98143170
Trial and error or using a digital copy of the original miniature to fit the parts in the software

>>98143373
People 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

>>98143432
I 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.

>>98142861
I risked it and the machine will take into account the magnetic plate and auto-leveled it accordingly.
Yippie.

>>98144416
Word 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.

>>98144140
I 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
=/

>>98145705
Now this is proper trolling.

>>98145714
I'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.

>>98145714
Siraya Tech ABS-like. I use grey and creamy mostly.

>>98145810
>>98145829
I 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?

>>98146493
Its not correct. ABS-like water washable (despite the name) is good.

>>98146509
That'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

>>98146548
whatever it is is less retarded than making this statement without responding to the statement you are bitching about.

>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.

>>98147021
Some 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

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-282007

I 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.
>>98154155
Nta but what’s the best Linux compatible software like lychee unless I missed that it is compatible?

>>98154940
Lychee 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.

>>98155080
Any 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.

>>98155093
Orca 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.

>>98155097
So 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.

File: ShitBox.png (188.8 KB)

>>98155112
ChituBox 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.

>>98154045
Take pictures of the mini from all sides and let the AI do it.

>>98155130
I’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

>>98157765
The 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.

>>98159794

>>98159794
does it support 100lbs of weight and not sway or rock? if so its enough

>>98159879
i 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

>>98159879

>>98160345
Nta 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.

>>98159879
I've tested out the sample versions of both and Tripo absolutely mogs Meshy.

>>98160294
>and expect them to know every ai slop program out there
That'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.

>>98160880
actually, 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

>>98162738
Have you thought about playing for the NBA?

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???

>>98163080
It's probably fine but doesn't sound like a great deal to be driving across the country for.

>>98163080
>for €275
You 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.

>>98163170
I'll just get it delivered. Only mentioned it because I can't really inspect it beforehand which is the main concern
>>98163209
Yeah, 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 parts
This 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.
