GIVEAWAY – The Depths of Tasar Modular Boarding Actions Terrain

Hey everyone,

after a lot of test‑prints, reworks and feedback from the community, The Depths of Tasar is ready to go live. It will be released this Friday on Kickstarter.

To say thanks, I’m running a small launch giveaway:

  • Prize: 1 copy of The Depths of Tasar STL set (digital files, no physical prints)
  • How to enter: Just leave a comment on this post
  • Duration: I’ll pick a winner on Thursday (August, 20th) at 23:00 CEST using redditraffler and announce them in an edit

The set is designed for Boarding Actions games with:

  • Modular walls, pillars, doors and catwalks sized to match standard boarding maps
  • FDM‑friendly files (reasonable supports), plus hollow variants for resin
  • Connector and magnet versions, window walls, print‑in‑place doors, extras and pillar fillers

If you’d like to take a closer look here’s the campaign link:

Finally got my Night Man

Picked the spindliest dudes for FDM but after a month of trial and error they're finally coming together. What are some of the better lessons learned for yall?

Combi-Lieutenant, Michaels PLA

Wife bought some PLA at Michaels because the previous stuff I’d been using to print small animals for her had decided to get all wet, and we don’t currently have a dehydrator.

Colour aside, I’m actually pretty pleased with how this Combi-Weapon Lieutenant came out! It’s not perfect, but the filament isn’t calibrated and my settings still need some tweaking (the grey Pauldron is Elegoo PLA+ which is my current go-to for minis).

I also know this guy needs some cleaning up, but it’s the best “whole” Marine I’ve gotten since starting at Christmas, which is why I’m excited to share it.

Printed on a stock Neptune 4 with a 0.2mm nozzle at 0.08mm layer height.

90% done with my redemptor dreadnought

Ender 3 v3 se

0.4mm nozzle

0.10mm layer height

215° for a looooong time

Split into multiple parts.

Total printing time ~26hrs

I did a lot of sanding and used a pretty generous amount of sandable filler primer, but as I get closer to finishing I see the areas I need to do better on.

My base coat is GW mephiston red, but everything else was done with some acrylic paint pens I found at an estate sale a few months ago.

Let me know what you guys think!

Wow..

Just printed my first mini. I honestly had low expectations, but wow this came out awesome. I can’t wait to print more

Any idea why this happened?

For context I use a A1 Bambu Lab Combo 3d printer and only use the mobile app to download models. My pc is currently shit. My dear sweet Grey Knight models reduced to a stringy mess. Does anyone have a reason for why this happened? My last few prints sucked too and honestly its starting to get to me

Printing separated vs assembled

While I wait for my 0.2 nozzle to arrive, I have been searching for STLs and prepping my slicer settings. Something that came to mind is if I should be printing minis assembled or as individual parts (head, torso, legs, etc)? Print time aside, is there a noticeable difference in quality as well?

First paints to buy for FDM tyranids + necrons

Greetings.

As someone that got into FDM 3d printing a few months ago, i finnally got to the point i can produce decent minis for warhammer.

Given that, i suck at everything arts related and thus i know nothing about it. Queue a few days of videos and AI questioning, and im currently struggling on which kits to buy to start (taking into account future kits i might get).

For simplicity's sake, iv decided on Vallejo stuff, but im currently strugging with the exact kits i find vs whats recommended (as the AI says a kit with a link, i see the kit, search for the name, and i find another vallejo kit with distinct aspect).

Currently im deciding between (as a base):

vallejo game colour set 16: 72299 - 38€ amazon spain

or

vallejo game colour set 16 - 54€ amazon spain (Ai linked this one)
or

Vallejo Model Color Acrylic Paint Set Basic Colors USA: 40€ amazon spain

PLUS a mettalics kit:

Vallejo Model Color Set of Acrylic Paint Metallic Effects 71181 - 34€ amazon es
or
Vallejo Game Color Leather and Metal 72189 - 42€ amazon es

-----

So i would love y'all recomendations on these and a few other questions like:

Should i get a black grey or white primer?

Brushes recomendations for scrubs.

Any varnish or something i need for after painting?

Thanks for all the help!

First Adeptus Custodes attempt

This weekend, I wanted to paint this model that had been sitting on my shelf for quite some time. I also wanted to try painting with mostly metallic paints (greedy gold and plate mail from Army Painter). I really like how it turned out, but i have to admit my spear needs lots of works.

Best armies to print on a FDM from a combat patrol

Looking for recommendations of good armies where I can just buy a combat patrol or maybe less than $150 and print everything else to reach 2k points and play competitively. More competitive the better. I own a Bambu Lab A1 Mini with a 0.2 nozzle.

For more context I have been printing marines and orks for a while with reasonable quality but now I want to move on different armies. I tried some but found most really hard to print, even though I know it's possible. So I thought what if I could just invest a bit on plastic with a combat patrol and print everything else to hit 2k, like tanks and big monsters, maybe some bodies to mix with the leftover arms and heads. My local scene is insanely competitive but super chill with 3d printing so if I don't bring anything that is tournament-ready I will get obliterated every game.

Super Smooth Bambu Lab Settings - free preset

Hey all

I recently uploaded some settings for Bambu Studio for smooth prints (see last pic). I have slightly tweaked the settings and bolstered up the supports as they kept coming loose.

As requested, I have uploaded the presets to gumroad as a free download. Ill add a comment link to the file (hopefully that works, cant seem to add links to the body of the post)

Let me know of any improvements

Cheers
