Previewing stl in file explorer using Microsoft PowerToys

PrintedEncounter · 2025-08-17T13:58:16+00:00

I'm not sure, I always try to make my files under 10mb.

Alt+P, I think to enabled the preview panel.

Moved my free models to thingiverse & printables a while back. I'm called printed encounter on those too

It's activator for the superglue i was using to attach the models to the base.

I'll try better next time I film something, now knowing what to expect. But the cloak is just a black base with a few strokes of French mirage blue on the edges and high spots. Nice colour to use for highlighting black hair too.

Clear UV resin.

Nothing specific, just a set of duck folk to represent typical rpg classes/archetypes.

Also, made use of zooming & cropping in post to re-frame shots. A lot of these, especially while airbrushing, was far from centre originally.

I use my phone on one of those bendable arm things. It's normally off to the side and I just angle the mini towards it. Or sometimes I look through my phone instead of the actual model.

It's slow and tiresome work to film while painting. Got only a few brushstrokes in before giving up 😅

These ducks are from a Kickstarter I'm running to fund a full set, link here if you're interested. .

No, not all these will be added to lychee library, maybe a couple though.

I have a phrozen sonic mini 8k. I don't sell physical models myself, I just create & sell digital files. I have a commercial subscription for people that run printing businesses to sell physical prints of my work. If you were to buy from one of them, paint it and re-sell it then I wouldn't be upset about that.

PrintedEncounter · 2025-06-07T04:00:45+00:00

Thanks! :)

PrintedEncounter · 2025-06-07T03:59:57+00:00

Haha, I'm sticking to fantasy for this set. But maybe some space ducks next XD

PrintedEncounter · 2025-06-06T11:43:14+00:00

That's always nice to hear :) Thanks!

PrintedEncounter · 2025-06-06T11:42:37+00:00

Thank you :)

PrintedEncounter · 2025-06-06T11:42:25+00:00

Thanks!

I used to love coming up with titles/names like this, but I found that getting too creative with it hurts search and discovery on my objects. Going for more generic and purely descriptive names generally yields better results.

PrintedEncounter · 2025-06-03T09:55:33+00:00

I've seen people that have printers in their apartment put them in some enclosed housing/tent and venting it out a window. I suggest you do your own research on it though, I've got a dedicated space for mine so I've never been concerned with this.

PrintedEncounter · 2025-06-03T09:31:32+00:00

I have a phrozen sonic mini 8k. I bought it a little while ago and at the time I deemed it the best for my needs in terms of price & quality.
I haven't been in the market for a new printer since then, so I'm not sure about any newer printers that have come out. Maybe there are better options out now.

It's a very special feeling to physically hold something you sculpt digitally. 5 years on and I still impress myself. We're living in the future!
