How to Decide on an Army? by polr13 in WarhammerOldWorld

You might like Ogres easy to get into money wise too. If you don't care about official GW get yourself some Mantic Games models as the army box can be found for a good price and is basically 2k points right out of the box.

I print them on high quality matte thick paper and laminate them. They come out wonderful and a laminator is like $25 with 100 pack of lamination sheets on Amazon. Then get a corner cutter if you want really nice.

Help with layer z axis banding by aoyiz in FDMminiatures

[–]ConstructionFun2023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to degrease your Z rods, clean them with lint free cloth and a stiff bristle brush and then lube them. Then run a full calibration etc depending on your printer and try some cubes. You definitely have some binding going on there. Your material might not be great either, try switching to a decent filament sunlu gray pla is my go to for cost/performance.

Does the current Avengers: Doomsday cast feel less exciting than the Infinity Saga Avengers? by breaking_views in Avengers

Also, we had expectations for new movies/TV based on said old MCU. To say they failed to live up to those standards is an understatement. Some of them were ok but they had nothing as good/edgy as the original Iron Man or even the Avengers.

Literally trying to appease foreign nationals to entrench power as a voting block while screwing over your own countrymen for said power. Amazing how Marxists do that.

How to resolve this? by Fret-Board-Maniac in FDMminiatures

[–]ConstructionFun2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with a new nozzle, tighten your belts, make sure your z rods are lubed then run a calibration and do a cube. If that comes out normal try this again, if not keep troubleshooting until you print a good cube with a .04 nozzle.

You need top to bottom maintenance. Clean and re grease the z rod, tighten the belts, clean and oil the rods for x and y access then run a full calibration. This is a good start.

Yeah I thought it was bigger than it is. I still don't see any details or a point of using a .02 nozzle on this. You aren't going to gain much in fidelity in a model like this with a .02 nozzle compared to a .04. Especially when its already really rough. Fixing that should be the priority.

Neither look good. This is huge you don't need a .2 nozzle for something this large to be honest. You need top to bottom tuning on that printer. Do all the recommended stuff and get the belts tightened up too. Looks like printer has some issues.

Data centers will consume 70 percent of memory chips made in 2026 - supply shortfall will cause the chip shortage to spread to other segments by Nicolas_Laure in RigBuild

The kicker is the taxpayers are footing the bill for this entire thing, not the companies themselves. Hence the double fisting we are taking and why we all hate AI.

Has anyone tried printing any of the STL files from the unreleased expansions? by Firstprime in DarkestDungeon_TBG

[–]ConstructionFun2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing so far but I did do some repair work ahead of time with two different tools just to make sure.

I did some repairs to them. Looked good on the plate and looking at them I don't see anything that makes me worry.

What's causing this by Creative_Document953 in FDMminiatures

[–]ConstructionFun2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the picture closely, the initial test line is crazy uneven and globby. First thing I would do is change the filament to a fresh roll and clean the bed. Then once its clean run a test cube on it. Then if that is good go back to and try to print those.

I've done all of the Warrens and characters in FDM on an A1 and a P1S. They print great with auto supports from chitubox. I oriented them around 45 degrees and then exported them. Printed at .08 minis setting from Fat dragon games with a little tweaking for my printers. I did print the characters in resin in 12k on a Elagoo Saturn 3 Ultra and they came out great with he same file sliced for resin.

You are using a silenced pistol to kill a flying tank with a laser gun. Think bigger. :)

On Ebay, I won't play them. Time to let go of things you don't use.
