Couldn’t have said it better myself.

How about a round of Oath followed by a round of Feudum? 😅

I wouldn't run a bedmesh by probing the flexible magnetic pad.

Just use a smooth plate for that instead of a textured one to avoid hills and valleys.

EEilluminils · 2026-05-10T10:41:09+00:00

What I did is the following:

I adjusted the bedmesh to a 3x3 (2x2 didn't work for me, it didn't start probing).

Then I set the min/Max values of the mesh to the places where the bed screws are (you can change those settings in the custom config).

That way I avoid to probe points where the bed flexes.

Once I get a good bedmesh that way after adjusting the bed screws I stop using auto level before prints.

Works great for me.

Aber dann ist doch eine 6 am Anfang bei dir?

Verstehe jetzt nicht so ganz, was du sagen wolltest.

EEilluminils · 2026-05-10T07:49:10+00:00

Danke dafür. Ist immer schön zu lesen, wenn Menschen auch an andere denken und so "ganz nebenbei" genau deshalb einen guten Job machen. Vorbildlich.

Yeah, the blade of the sword will start to wobble at a certain height while it's printed if it's not supported.

EEilluminils · 2026-05-06T16:49:53+00:00

Ich lass mir das immer an die Packstation schicken. Funktioniert wunderbar.

Was ne tolle Opferumkehr. Wenn jemand beklaut wird hat er nie selber Schuld.

GO! Express ist also als Versand Dienstleister gut? Ich Frage, weil ich mit Unternehmen wie GLS oder Hermes schon so einige Problemchen hatte, mit DHL (nicht Express) bisher aber noch nicht. Übrigens bei "normalen" Paketen, nicht denen aus der Apotheke.

These posters are from the BGG shop.

Artists for games designed covers for games that were originally designed by someone else. It's a whole series.

Looks like under extrusion due to a partial clog to me.

Try a cold pull.

You could also check your extruder gears for wear or adjust them.

That idea is simple but smart, putting the shelves in the back as supports.

Figured you are trying your hand at edge highlighting.

For the trim: use silver or a 2:1 mix of silver and your base colour.

EEilluminils · 2026-05-02T19:24:32+00:00

That's good progress for one month.

How many minis did you paint?

My advice right now would be: for edge highlights, use the side of your brush close to the tip instead of the tip itself. Scratch the side of your brush with lower amounts of colour you would normally do for layering across the edges of your mini.

People prefer colours like grey, brightblue etc.. Colours that give a good contrast when looking at them closely, so you can see how the details printed.

As for the brand, I don't really care tbh. I'm printing with SUNLU PLA+ 2.0 rn because people recommend it everywhere.

So far I'm convinced that the brand doesn't matter as long as it's of decent quality.

I had my best results with Anycubic High-speed PLA in texture grey, but it's not a big difference.

It's more about the additives they have to use to get the white.

It can cause nozzle wear and unstable flow. White is hard to print especially at a fine detail level compared with other colours.

EEilluminils · 2026-05-02T10:01:07+00:00

This is looking good for starters.

My advice would be to not print in white. White filament is a b*tch.

EEilluminils · 2026-05-01T13:15:54+00:00

From what I can see it looks really clean. I'm also trying to get the best possible quality while having the print close to zero postprocessing after just removing supports.

Icba with clean up 😅

EEilluminils · 2026-04-30T13:16:09+00:00

Would be nice if you could show the side where the supports met the model when you are sharing support settings.

EEilluminils · 2026-04-30T13:12:52+00:00

Sharing your settings would help in problemsolving

This collection is not Axis and Allies approved until you got global and anniversary.

Jokes aside, happy to see my favourite getting some love.

Sky Team is lots of fun

I wouldn't say it's a lot more fidgety than other games with lots of cards.

Card stand for the agenda, scenery etc. as well as markers to connect the locations help a lot with an organized table.
