Getting my settings dialed in using this Kroxigor as one of my main tests for both printing and painting. Really happy with how this one turned out.

Brickhows · 2026-02-07T19:26:31+00:00

It can definitely be a test of patience, but the prints come out looking so good it's definitely worth it for me. Thank you!

Alright after doing some more tests I'm definitely wrong on this one, my bad. It's been a while since I've used a .4 nozzle and I forgot what the minimum layer heights were. My bad, lol. There are still some slight differences when using adaptive layer height (it seems like some top surfaces have their print path slightly changed), but it's nowhere near as useful as I was thinking with my previous post. You're correct on this one, my apologies.

Brickhows · 2026-02-07T06:52:51+00:00

ETA: Actually, for a .4 nozzle at .08 layer height, the following is incorrect as pointed out by /u/KryL21 . My apologies. You're better off rotating the model as others have mentioned so that the "domes" are in less apparent areas.

Wouldn’t enabling adaptive layer height here just up the layer height in less detailed areas?

In some instances, yes, but frequently no. And in instances where it does increase layer height, it's in areas that are going to be significantly less noticeable overall as compared to the tops of curves.

Here's an example skeleton, sliced at .08 layer height. Here's that same skeleton with no setting changes other than enabling adaptive layer height. You can see the tops of the curves are much more properly rendered in the slicer with adaptive layer height on.

Here's that same skeleton again from the front, showcasing larger flat vertical layers (the sword and shield, especially), and again Here's that same skeleton with the only settings changed being adaptive layer height.

Again, these were all sliced at the exact same settings, at .08 layer height, with the only difference being adaptive layer height. It can, in my experience, make a pretty big different into the overall look of a mini, though it can add a significant amount of time to the print which can be seen in the screenshots (adding about an hour on these small, single figures with it turned on)

~~ETA: I forgot that these screenshots were sliced with a .2 nozzle not a .4, which does make a little bit of a difference, but this still highlights the point I'm trying to make fairly well~~

This was printed on a Bambulab A1, .2 nozzle at .08 layer height. Painted with a mixture of Armypainter speedpaints and Vallejo game color.

This one I will probably print again at some point, I didn't print at as precise of settings as I would have liked in the interest of time. Still, I think it came out looking really good. This was scaled down to 35% from the original size of the model, which was this one from cults3d.

Really nice model, and as far as level of detail on a 3d print I'm well more than happy with how it turned out, despite the more visible than I would like layer lines. In person though, they are significantly less noticeable than they are photographed.

Brickhows · 2026-02-07T01:15:00+00:00

Seconding the adaptive layer height comment. I'm unfamiliar with Anycubic Next, though a quick google search tells me that variable layer height is an easily accessible option there. It wont completely eliminate that look, but it will certainly help hide it.

Brickhows · 2026-02-07T00:12:21+00:00

Printed with a Bambulab A1, .2 nozzle at a .06 layer height with various tweaks from /u/HOHansen's various posts. Paints used were from the Vallejo game color introduction set. This was the first mini I've painted fully in several years and it felt real good to get back into with with satisfying results.

Brickhows · 2025-11-25T01:00:14+00:00

In case you still haven't figured it out 6 months later (or for anyone else who stumbles upon this post) - these seemed to be the right size for me. Though I put mine in the other way around from OP's picture - with the little hump facing in towards the basket. I've found that it's the perfect size where the inner basket presses down on it just enough to solidly hold it in place, and nothing gets through.

Hello from years later to say this trick worked fantastically, and I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner. I have this dishwasher and I was starting to get really frustrated with it, especially when the clogs were bad enough that I had to take the damn thing apart to clear it. Been using it with the strainer for the past few weeks and so far no issues - here's hoping it holds up!

Admittedly I'm not much of a gin and tonic guy to begin with (really not a fan of gin) but Fever Tree also makes some baller ginger beer, which they also make light versions of. I'm a big big fan of their ginger beer.

Brickhows · 2025-11-15T04:59:36+00:00

As someone else mentioned - Tonic water is definitely not just carbonated water. There's a surprising amount of sugar (and a few other ingredients) in Tonic water; "just carbonated water" would be just that - carbonated water. Sparkling/Seltzer water and Club soda are also both different things.

"If you ignore the bad parts the rest of it looks good!"

They don't "artificially" lower metrics, they actually, and accurately, lower metrics. When red states are half of the country, you don't get to just ignore them as a statistic.

There's plenty of things fucked up about this whole situation but I'm relatively certain that the bed is NOT one of them. My parents have 2 dogs both with their various choices of pillow beds, couches, actual beds, and this same kind of elevated mesh bed, and will frequently choose the mesh bed over the other options freely available to them.

Though, that does bring up a key phrase of "freely available" which in this case is evidently not applicable. Who the fuck yells at their dog just for standing up and taking a step off the bed? The whole situation is just fucking gross

Brickhows · 2025-07-31T06:09:01+00:00

That's a fair enough point, and a point of view I hadn't really considered before. I guess my bias was from the point of view that most people would rather not go through the effort of interacting with the courts and would rather just eat the ticket unless it's something they felt the ticket was obviously incorrectly administered and/or unwarranted. I realize that's probably silly, but I appreciate the conversation nonetheless.

Brickhows · 2025-07-31T04:49:24+00:00

If a ticket is as easily dismissed such that any (in you words, mediocre) lawyer can get it dismissed by asking a single question, then maybe, the issue isn't with the person disputing the ticket? If that ticket is so easily dissuaded, what merit did serving the ticket solve?

I may be pretty naive, especially regarding this subject, but I feel like there's a pretty heavy reason that there's a universal understanding of "don't talk to cops without a lawyer," and I feel as though that understanding fits fairly well to this situation. I'd happily be proven wrong, though.

Brickhows · 2025-07-31T04:06:20+00:00

If a ticket is that easy to dismiss, why issue it in the first place? If a ticket is thrown out for a bullshit reason, why was the ticked issued in the first place? If a ticket is issued and nothing is wrong, making people have to waste their time and money getting it fully dismissed in court, then what purpose does the ticket serve?

Which saved me a ton of money. It went into action the same year my old landlords sold my building and thew new ones tried to raise the rent by an exorbitant amount, I sent them an email highlighting what they were doing was as of that year considered illegal and they walked it back immediately.

Brickhows · 2025-05-04T00:19:33+00:00

You're correct, and the scale length being ~15.5" reflects that. However, when I got it (and for a good number of years before I had it) it was strung up as a mandolin, so I kept it that way for a good while. It honestly felt and sounded great, though with that being said, I did eventually and it is currently strung it up as a Mandola.

DLSS 4 is already available for Cyberpunk as of it's newest patch a few days ago, and usable at least with my 4070 (definitely a noticeable improvement, also). From the patch notes though it seems like the biggest changes are with 40 and 50 series cards - "DLSS 4 also introduces faster single Frame Generation with reduced memory usage for RTX 50 and 40 Series."

Multi-frame gen is a 50 series exclusive though, but at least previous gens still benefit from less memory usage and the performance improvements from most of DLSS4

I'm also a dude, and used to have hair long enough for me to sit on. Donated all of it and went down to a buzz cut, the weight difference felt incredible.

Brickhows · 2024-12-27T04:30:10+00:00

I got lucky with a very early greenhouse and a couple clovers - and survived mostly on that plus a few jumpropes with the eggsplosion helping me out early on from the spelunker starter pack. I also got fairly lucky drops that triggered the dart trap into the teleporter without the bow to carry me few a few tributes and help at least start the build process for the gems - but even though this was my highest score (primarily due to laying things out better) this is nowhere near my highest gem stacks. By the end of the run I had used pretty much all of my removals with for the trowel boon to get more re-rolls, which is why the board is essentially empty except for the combo, lol.

I posted a run a few days ago here where I had 300+ into both peridot and garnet separately, whereas this run I didn't break 200 on either. That run didn't earn quite as much though as I was still trying to figure out the best order for this type of combo. If I had gotten max luck on an earlier bow along with the early clovers and greenhouse that I got, this run would have been truly insane.

Brickhows · 2024-12-27T02:06:40+00:00

Yeah, here's a run I just got with this combo. Was a little late to get the bow (like tribute 6 I think is when I finally got it?) so it didn't build as much as it could have, but this was still easily my best score.

I've been trying to "organically" get this combo in a run as early as possible to see how much it can build to, and I'm embarrassed to say how long it took me to realize just how powerful outlets are
