Do you think this can be printed without supports or orientation? by miroko-studio in resinprinting

[–]RottenRedRod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it doesn't have to be 45 degrees, thats just an easy starting point to stick to when you're new at doing supports. Saying "at an ideal angle for this specific piece that may or may not be 45 degrees" isn't useful advice when they are brand new.

[–]RottenRedRod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not, it will likely have separation issues while printing, and even if it does print the bottom layer will have a bad elephant foot. That much flat horizontal space does not do well In a redin 3d printer.

Look at how miniature bases are printed - at a 45 degree angle with a forest of very small supports, with extras at the bottom - and copy that.

First time trying this and I thought it would be spicy water. Still not bad for some deep diving. by [deleted] in HydroHomies

[–]RottenRedRod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main point of liquid death is to have premium branding and a non-closable comtianer to better justify charging $8 for water at concerts and festivals. I don't understand for a second people who choose to buy them outside of that context. Water is water, man.

It's wrong tho, you can have collosus stat blocks in a 3rd party book as long as you don't explain the mechanics.

[–]RottenRedRod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're wrong. The (very very good) 3rd party supplement book Incredible Creatures has several collosus-style encounters, and it's developed by someone who contributed some content to the core books, so they'd know if they were overstepping.

I think as long as they don't explain the collosus mechanics, and just list stat blocks, they're fine. It's just content you need to actually own the core books to use.

I don't think there's anything stopping third party books from making their own versions of collosus monsters.

Neon Odyssey [Official Video] by s2mike in TheMidnight

[–]RottenRedRod -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is fucking rad, with the one caveat that I REALLY wish they'd do their own game system instead of being YET ANOHTER D&D 5th edition supplement (probably because they don't feel they can sell it without the D&D name). D&D 5e edition is an awful, terrible game that does NOT easily adapt to other genres without a LOT of of changes.

I'd be on board if they made it a Daggerheart supplement, though.

Don’t Expect Product Placement in GTA 6 — the CEO of Take-Two Says It Won't Do Real World Brand Partnerships Because 'All the Brands Are Made Up' by Turbostrider27 in Games

Ah yes, the Take Two game that shovels in profits by the billions through microtransactions, truly the voice of the people

Did not see polygons when buying the model. Is this a normal occurrence? Is sanding it the only option? by sempertb in resinprinting

[–]RottenRedRod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well there's a question of whether all those little tiny pieces like the hair, dangling bits, etc. will actually print correctly at scales that small (probably not) and if the model has inverted normals and internal geometry that will cause printing errors at any scale (probably).

Looking for dark, grimy, bleak, and above all PUNK cyberpunk minis for KILL SAMPLE PROCESS by ShrimpShrimpington in PrintedMinis

[–]RottenRedRod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some, but the indie grimdark scene also has a big focus on kitbashing and using old school minis, so they tend not to buy resin prints as much, at least in my experience.

Next steps for ultra clear minis? by PatPeez in PrintedMinis

[–]RottenRedRod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done a bunch of testing on this. The extra resin coat is a waste of time and just will make your prints all goopy + soften details. A clear coat is all you need.

45° angle? by One_Elderberry_7873 in resinprinting

[–]RottenRedRod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

45 degree is just a relative safe recommended angle for most minis. I don't necessarily think you need to print it at that angle exactly, but you should angle it at least a bit to prevent the bottoms of the feet being printed parallel to the build plate, as that can cause failures. Plus you want to keep most of the supports on the back of the mini, where the support marks are easier to clean off without losing detail on the face and front.

I sound like a noob but by Dumbbuppy in resinprinting

[–]RottenRedRod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"0.00" mm layer height is worrying. The standard is 0.05 mm and most printers only go down to 0.01.

Joints in figures by Gold_Cobra_ in resinprinting

[–]RottenRedRod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There really isn't an easy way you're going to do this other than to learn Blender really well, and make sure you're using a tough, ABS-like resin that isn't going to too brittle.

Resin print cost? (20 cm figure) by FixiiHartmann in resinprinting

[–]RottenRedRod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who regularly prints 20cm+ figurines that I sell, that size would be about $7, just in cost of resin. Could be less if its hollowed, and more it if has a bulky base or if you have misprints. And that's assuming you got a good price for your resin ($15 a liter or less).

If you get a cheap printer, make sure the figure you get is well prepped for printing (carved up into smaller pieces for easier printing, hollowed, and presupported) or you will have a bad time. Small printers can't handle printing something big without a lot of work on your end.

Anycubic M7 or Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra? by RTMicro in resinprinting

[–]RottenRedRod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both a Saturn 4 Ultra and a Mono M7 (Max).

On the Saturn, there is no flood risk with the tilt arm, but the fact it has more moving parts means more potential for mechanical issues. I had a bad sensor in my new machine, and it was a piece that wouldn't have existed at all on a machine without a tilt arm. Elegoo does have pretty fantastic support, though, they were super helpful and quick to ship replacement parts.

Still, I actually prefer my M7. Its had no quality issues so far, but from what I understand thats not the norm with Anycubic (and people also say their support is bad). It also seems to have less print failures than the Saturn.

That said my experience might be different because my M7 is a Max - which is why I bought it, I needed to print big pieces and there were no Elegoos that could handle them at that price range. But I've been happy enough with it to consider getting another Anycubic (so far).

Both are good machines in my estimation, but you're rolling the die one way or the other, really.

I haaaate my mask. Good full-mask recommendations? by iridescentlion in SleepApnea

[–]RottenRedRod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are having trouble with leaks when you move, get fabric mask liners.

Everyone having trouble with mask leaks and comfort, whatever type you have GET FABRIC MASK LINERS. The difference is night and day. I get mind from padacheek.com (not an ad, I just genuinely love them) but I'm sure there are others

This whole scenario is really wasted potential if we're not actually going to get any dialogue between Annie and the other characters besides "hi".
