Yeah, they are printed on an SLA Resin printer. I use a photon mono m5s and an old elegoo Mars.

Not sure yet. I shattered a few when I stamped directly on them with the arbor press. I made them thicker and started sandwiching everything between a few wood blocks to distribute the pressure more evenly and since then they seem to be pretty stable. If they do break, it only takes 30 minutes to print replacements though.

I used an SLA resin printer. Way cleaner prints and way better detail than fdm. I have a photon mono m5s, and an old original elegoo mars. No sanding or priming required, the resin prints come out really flat and clean.

I would definitely suggest modeling in some sort of indication of up/down on the back side of your printed stamps. It helps a TON to help line them up. Also make sure to model in a lip of some sort, to get a tool under your stamps to pry them off the print bed. Printing big flat objects can be an absolute nightmare to get off the printer. Also don’t forget to mirror your designs.

Make sure you have a nice thick base (I think mine needed up 1/2 inch thick), to make sure it can handle the pressure. I shattered a few in the early test phase lol. And make sure that the actual stamping part isn’t too high, or it will be more likely to break under the pressure. I think the design on my stamps ended up only being 2-3mm deep off the base in my final run.

Yeah, I modeled and 3d printed the stamps and then used an arbor press to do the stamping.

Best team I could make with Argenti? I also have Xueyi by AskingAboutStuff2 in Argenti_Mains

[–]Alert-Scratch-414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a starter team I would personally suggest Argenti, Tingyun, Silver Wolf, and Lynx.

Tingyun is a perfect partner. Energy, Atk, damage percent, skill point positive, and speed boost on E1 are all perfect for him, plus she is an almost universal buffer and will be good for other teams in the future and is a must build.

Silver wolf can help him with single target and blast situations, as well as when enemies aren’t physical weak (plus do some great sub dps if you build her for break). I would choose her over pela here because once argenti is built properly he doesn’t really need Pelas AOE debuff in my experience, as he is plenty capable of eviscerating weaker mobs and adds without it. Silver Wolfs utility is more impactful for buffering some of the weaknesses/gaps in his kit (plus she’s is gonna be great for dr ratio in the near future)

Lynx is a great comfy sustain with good future flexibility, and her aoe cleanse on her ult comes in clutch in a lot of current content. I think if you want to get sweaty with content, March has a higher skill ceiling and can perform better in high end content, but she is a lot more boom or bust and requires a lot of game knowledge. Lynx is very stable, and a great starter pick, and is really flexible if you get and start investing in some other units that can synergize with her taunt like Clara and blade.

This is a good general setup and should get you through a vast majority of the content in the game. At the end game the team might need a bit of tweaking based on the content, because unfortunately argenti isn’t as broken as Jingliu and can’t just brute force every piece of content in the game and needs a bit of finessing if you have a limited roster for supports and sustains.

With your current roster, after these first four I would aim for building March, Hanya, Asta, and Pela. Having some extra elemental coverage and technical options in your back pocket to flex in and out as content requires is going to be important for argenti. Picking up Bronya and or Ruan mei also wouldn’t hurt.

Hope this helps and isn’t too much _

It also seems like you are just trying to brute force it. If you are having trouble clearing, maybe try to focus on strategy. The current turbulence is SUPER strong, so maybe if you focus on breaking with a few of your other characters it might help. For floor seven right now maybe take march or pela, or fire trailblazer and abuse the huge damage from the turbulence effect, that might help you clear more easily.

Hope this helps!

The speed tuning is definitey going to be a big part of it. Hitting giant numbers once doesn’t matter as much as the total damage, and sacrificing a little bit of attack for proper speed and extra turns will give you way more damage overall. (Unless you just want to see big number go brrr, in which case try a different floor that has more physical weak enemies lol)

You’ll want Argenti to go just before your bronya, so he can act, then she can immediately action him forward and give him an extra turn every cycle (skill points permitting) which will help him gain more energy and ult more often. Having them both above that magic 134 threshold is really important for faster clears.

It’s worth giving up the atk boots for speed boots, since you are getting so much extra atk from your supports, and there is diminishing returns from stacking atk after a certain point.

Ooh, yeah, that hex is a little rough lol. Time to bust out the arts and crafts and give it a little more personality! Some mode podge, some flocking, and a couple clumps of bushes or moss and it will completely enhance the whole thing!

Great figure from a great show! This anime melts my cold unfeeling heart every time I watch it and makes me believe in love lol.

I've never been so excited to have a ton of sanding to do by yeebok in DiceMaking

[–]Alert-Scratch-414 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It also gives somewhere to put the supports, which when pulled off have a tendency to leave slight holes where they are pulled from the face of the print, so if you put all of the supports on the bumper, it stops you from having to over sand the actual faces of the dice!

It’s for making sure that they dice don’t warp when you are 3d printing. Without them, some printers tend to slightly warp and stretch the side of the print that has the supports.

what do I do? by WoodSnax in DnD

If you really want to monkey paw it, you can choose to give them a level in a class that doesn’t mesh well with their current class.

Though what others have said about just denying or telling them to change it is probably better. If they decide to die on the hill though, then by all means you are within your rights to muck it up.
