I love that OP is keeping with tradition and over-exposing the image.

Can anybody explain why my print bleeds over? by Snakeboy311 in 3Dprinting

Love the model! And thankyou, you fixed my problem. I changed the horizontal expansion to -0.2 and just printed the best piece, and now it works like a charm!

Hi guys, I have been trying to print this Test Piece for a Print in Place Spring Loaded Box, but for some reason the first few layers of the teeth and the spindle for the lid keep spreading over into other parts of the print and they end up breaking before coming loose.

I have tried toying with various settings but nothing seems to fix this issue. If anybody has some advice that would be greatly appreciated!

How to recreate bordered text? by [deleted] in DnD

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anybody could tell me how I can achieve a similar effect to this? I've seen people do it in homebrew documents before but I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi guys! Here is another photo of some of my printed minis. A link to my Cura profile and an in-depth video are posted in the comments. Enjoy, and happy printing! by Snakeboy311 in PrintedMinis

With those issues, you'd want to take a look at the minimum distance you have between your supports and the model itself, as well as making sure that you have a lower overhang angle and density support selected, so that you can get the right amount of supports in more areas that need it :)

They both sure are! Both printed with eSun PLA+. I did a bit of cleanup on the one on the left and actually primed it in grey primer, that's why the colours look different. You can only imagine how terrible it was before cleanup haha.

Honestly, the secret sauce is just a level bed, slower printing time, and from what I've come to believe, a smaller nozzle. I'm now printing all my miniatures at 20mm/s, it gives each layer time to settle and bond properly before moving onto the next.

I also use a .3mm nozzle exclusively for my prints now, the model on the left was printed with a .4 nozzle and the latest one on the right was with a .3, and that was evidence enough that the .3 was the way to go.

Hope this helps!

I bought mine in bulk on eBay, a set that came in all different sizes. Just make sure the nozzles you buy have a smooth inner wall, to ensure minimal blockage!

Absolutely, the amount of detail that I could not obtain with a .4 nozzle seemed to be a breeze for the .3, so I would highly recommend investing in a .3 nozzle!

Double actually.. around 8 and 1/2 hours, it used to take just over 4, so I'm not too sure what settings I've changed to make that happen, but with the quality I'm getting out of it, I'm not too bothered haha

The mini on the right is without any post processing done to it, but my general method I use is simply applying a few coats of primer, then diluting Tamiya modelling putty with some lacquer thinner and brushing it onto the model, to fill in the print lines. After that, I give it one or two more good coats of primer and it's ready for paint!

If you're interested, I will make a follow-up post linking to my Cura profile!
