I'm honestly so happy how this turned out!

It was a little too brown, but all in all im super happy!

My idea on this one was frog mage wondering through muddy areas, so everything is slightly muddy.

I'd love some feedback on what I can improve on, or ideas for a future paint!

Can someone please tell me why this can happen a couple of earlier prints had some stringing but it was not as bad as this this is a total mess anyone knows why this happens?

It was going very well until I started hearing loud thuds...

The nozzle was occasionally hitting parts of the model.

Bed adhesion was good, but at some point after at least 10 to 15 hits, the model detached itself from the bed...

The filament is calibrated, the nozzle zhop is at .6, and printing as well as acceleration is very slowed down, basically at HOHansen's 0.4 settings.

It's an A1 mini by the way.

I've had this problem on smaller miniatures, mainly on supports, but adjusting the z hop fixed it.

What could be causing this?

Can't solve the problem—my prints are covered in a uniform layer of plastic, top to bottom.

New Bamboo A1
0.2 nozzle,
E-sun plastic. The plastic is dried to a stable 20% humidity.
The printer is in enclosure.
There's a vibration-absorbing plate underneath the printer.
Print speed from 25 to 35.
Layer height from 0.6 to 0.8.
Tried print temperatures from 185 to 210.
Tried all flow options.

Dozens of prints, with different settings and approximately the same result.
Changing the plastic doesn't change anything.
During this time, I resolved the adhesion issue.
Models are printed without supports.

Hey everyone,

​I just wanted to share some cool miniatures I recently created. I've just started a new animal series, and here are the first 5 I've printed! (Featuring a Giant Boar, an attacking Black Bear, and an attacking Giant Badger in the photos).

​All of these were printed on FDM at a standard 32mm scale using a 0.2mm nozzle.

Getting the fur textures on the bear/badger and the tail/tusks on can sometimes be a challenge but these were all sliced and printed successfully using the Mike Gyver Minis support profile.

​I’m really happy with how the details came out. If you want to check out the models, grab the files, or try out the support profile for your own prints, I keep everything hosted here:

Many more to come like Giant Centipede, Wasp, Octopus etc.

​Happy printing!

Let me know if you have any questions about my 0.2mm settings for minis.

Flashforge Adventurer 5M

0.25 mm nozzle

Sunlu Meta PLA White

0.06 mm layer height

Primed with Pinty Plus Evolution Matte Anthracite Gray.

The camera really captures the layer lines. It's pretty much not noticeable in person unless you bring it right up to your face.

I need to play with the settings some more. New to all of this.

Vindicator printed on Neptune 3 pro, repulsor printed on Bambu labs a1.

I love how these turned out, after the repulsor gets some primer and paint I think it’ll will look great.

I'm running Shadow of the Dragon Queen and planning to print some minis for the Istarian drones. I'd prefer to fdm print them so I don't have deal with resin right now.

I'm looking for any kind of mini that would make a good stand in for the Istarian drones. This is the offical artwork.

Now I've found one set on printables that someone made but I don't care for how spindly they are. If I scale them to the right size, the legs are tiny and will be super fragile in fdm, and again I don't want to bother with resin right now.

I'm not attached to the exact look of the official art anyway, so I'd love to see any suggestions folks have for alternatives. I'm having trouble finding anything that appeals to me but I'm mainly poking around MMF and cults.

Used way too much varnish, but still pretty happy with it.
Made with elegoo CC, 0.2mm nozzle @ 0.04mm layer height.

I made this for welcome to the Hellfire club. I think it turned out pretty nice on FDM.

I livestreamed sculpting this too - video for it and an older model with other poses are linked there too.

Hi!

Image is a dwarf slayer printed on the Snapmaker U1 with 0.4mm nozzle and 0.08 layer height. Still waiting for the 0.2mm nozzle.

After print only a quick wash (Reikland flesh shade) and some lines on the beard were added.

If you have images of your multicolor 28mm tabletop minis, I would like to see them! :)

For anyone who saw my post last week, it's live. Multi-level towers and sanctums with furnished interiors, built for actual play rather than just display.

50% off for the whole campaign. Link in the comments.

The base layer hight for the print is .2

We are 8 days in. . . Many pieces already finished and were removed to lower chances of snags. The snug supports that succeeded everywhere else failed on 1 model in 1 spot and exactly the same on its copy.

It's almost wrapped. sadly due to how assembled models work skipping it isn't an option. Just need 50 more layers </3

Hi guys, i am new in miniature printing and starterd with a A1 Min + 0.2 Nozzle and HOHasen settings.

The thing is, my suport always get hoels and look fragile.
In my last print they just became spagetti.

I tried changing suport walls to 2 ans i thin it workerd, but teh suports became too hard to remove.

What can it be? Suportless miniates print very well for my taste.

Hello. I just tried hohansen settings for a mini base very detailled, 0.2 nozzle. Esun plat +hs.

And i got bunch of strings , and also support mark on a side.

Is the a way to avoid such stringing?

If thé final result is quite ok. I m trying to understand.

Thx

Been trying to print this thing for ages and for some reason the supports keep separating from the rafts. And only seems to do that on that section of the plate. I have releveled it and other prints seems fine even in that area, but just this print and these supports that doesn't seem to want to exist. Any ideas?
