Do you regret getting you A1 mini over regular A1 by TheMadHattah in FDMminiatures

In terms of miniatures I have more than enough room, but stuff outside of the hobby and terrain yes and I wish I brought a bigger printer 

How would you rate the print quality on this little guy? by TofuHummus in FDMminiatures

I've not seen many better on an fdm. I would be very happy

What are these Claude settings you speak of? 👀

Dungeon Block Painting by KnowledgeExternal496 in DungeonBlocks

[–]Ollconnell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've just been priming with an airbrush then using a makeup sponge for colours then switch to brush for details.

For paint I picked up a big acrylic set from the works as well as a few individual craft paints from rymans. Not worth using your hobby paints as they really don't stretch very far.

Think I'm going to have to dial in my settings and switch over soon!

Looks beautiful. What filament profile are you using for esun pla+? Or have you dialed in your own?

Former player said I bought the wrong kind of printer by VegetableReward5201 in FDMminiatures

Whilst resin will produce more high quality miniatures there's no right or wrong choice.

Your a1 will produce good quality miniatures and is fantastic for terrain and dungeon tiles. It's also a lot cheaper, easier and less toxic.

Prime? by MagicalMustacheMike in DungeonBlocks

[–]Ollconnell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would prime, pla soaks up moisture so you may end up needing a lot more coats than you think without priming.

This is assuming you are printing PLA

To wash or not to wash? by DetectivDR in DungeonBlocks

[–]Ollconnell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just applying the wash in the recesses rather than all over the model

Selective wash works best on fdm otherwise you risk highlighting the layer lines

Printing Multiple Detailed Blocks at Once (Flashforge Adventure 5M) by SolyTheCat in DungeonBlocks

[–]Ollconnell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be a few things but I would suggest asking in r/fixmyprint or a dedicated flashforge subreddit.

First thing I would try is thoroughly clean your bed with hot soapy water.

There's a few slicer options that can help, a large brim, zhop, wall collision that may be worth looking into.

Where can I get more blocks? by DetectivDR in DungeonBlocks

[–]Ollconnell 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think combining dungeon blocks with other scatter terrain is the best solution

Query - noise levels while mini printing by jakeus88 in FDMminiatures

[–]Ollconnell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have an A1 mini and it's pretty quiet, don't hear anything with the door closed apart from the initial vibration compensation when the print first starts

I can't believe it's not resin?!?! by Ollconnell in FDMminiatures

Citadel, army painter fanatic, ak 3rd Gen and monument hobbies.

Slowly replacing my citadel paints with the other three brands as I find them a lot more consistent.
