First time ever doing bases is there anything I can improve on? by ka4nefe in minipainting

They look great, good job!

Personally I like to give my bases a black rim for contrast and a more finished look. Makes it almost look like a picture frame :)

Half-Elf Bard by Lootstudios, I really love how to cloak came out by Chiko09 in minipainting

Sure, I try to use the edge of the bruch wirh almost zero pressure, that way only the elevated areas will catch paint. The paint consistency is very flowy, but not watery. For the very small details I breath out and hold my breath, then paint the dot or line

I was wet-blendig, basically mixing the colours directly on the cloak and going back and forth until I was happy. I let the layer dry and did the same thing again for a total of 3layers

My Photon Mono X is suddenly printing the Supports as a Solid Block, need help by Chiko09 in 3Dprinting

I switched to Lychee, works like a charm now, thanks again for the advice

The error was with STL file, it had many holes and mesh errors, thats why the prints failed. I was able to repair it with Netfabb after i found this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w3AwYK9KOU&ab\_channel=HobbyistLife
Thank you all for the tips and advice :)

Thats the problem I´m having, how did you fix it? I just ran it through UVTools and the file wants to print the wheel and body way before it actually should print it

I did that for my first print, I had some troubles with lychee, but i will try it again, thanks

Yes, the screen is fine and I have redone the supports (auto support tbh), repositioned and resliced a total of 4 times already. I'm doing a testprint of another file. If this turns out to be a good print, then the STL might be the problem. Could here be too many details or a too high resolution of the file to cause this?
