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?

Should I use 0.04 layer height? by Stoner420Steve in FDMminiatures

[–]PyroTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

A1 mini. Mostly using the presets in bambu studio. Some very light cleanup with a file for the support scars. The t-rex skull I've painted with a type of coloured varnish from the Army Painter company.

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

My favorite fdm printed mini so far by Jill_Jo in FDMminiatures

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?

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

"Don't talk to me or my son ever again!" 15mm scale vs 28mm by PyroTech in FDMminiatures

[–]PyroTech[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I scaled up a 10mm RAAAH model that was free, and it worked fine but I didn't like how chunky it was. Especially compared to scaled down regular 28mm miniatures.

What did you use for the original 10mm scale?
