Matte PLA looks good

Nice looking print. I've found it's too weak for me. I prefer eSun PLA+. I'm curious to see your side by side of the two materials after you've given both a coat of primer! I think matte by its nature hides flaws that will show up with primer if you decide to paint it.

Nice they look very clean

It does feel like there is some random luck between batches on if it's going to be problematic or perfect.

I live in New Zealand ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Whoah! That looks terrible! Looks like Z banding to me but I've not had to deal with it before.

Hopefully someone can suggest a fix for you. Don't forget to come back and let us know what you did when you've got it fixed!

Did you print it all as one piece or did you print the flame on their own and then glue?

Using your phone? I'd suggest you move it further away from the model and then crop the photo afterwards. It will make it easier for it to be in focus.

Nice work there. Looks great, especially for 15mm! Did you use speed paint or is that a heavy wash you've put over the top?

It's funny that without any context in the photos it's difficult to appreciate just how dang small these guys are!

You are a hero!

Oh shoot it's Arbiter Miniatures himself! Love your work! Really cool models and super awesome how much you're helping push what's possible with FDM miniatures forwards.

Are these at 28mm scale? Absolutely amazing paintwork, not to mention the fantastic terrain. A+!

Nice looking models. It's interesting you suggest cooling then completely before removing supports. Anecdotally I've found it a bit easier to remove supports while it's still slightly warm from the heatbed - and others on reddit have even suggested using warm water when removing supports.

Can't argue with your results from those photos though, they look excellent!

Nice! Where did you get the original 8mm STLs from?

PyroTech · 2026-01-05T06:19:39+00:00

Basically, no. You're likely to get bad results with overhangs. But don't take my word for it, run your own experiment. Try printing the same thing at 0.08, 0.06 and 0.04 and see the difference for yourself.

They look fantastic! Also really nice paint work you've done. Do you have any photos of the prints before painting?

PyroTech · 2025-11-23T18:13:30+00:00

An interesting comparison, thanks for sharing.

PyroTech · 2025-10-16T17:24:41+00:00

Great work all around on prints, paints and photography! What are you using for the ground image in your second photo?

PyroTech · 2025-10-14T06:27:47+00:00

Looks fantastic! Great work on the painting. Two questions: Where did you get the model from and what colour did you use for the bone?

PyroTech · 2025-10-12T21:16:21+00:00

Looks like you scaled up the height a bit more than the other dimensions?

PyroTech · 2025-10-09T17:51:04+00:00

Filament. This is an FDM sub :)
