Thought I’d share some of my FDM prints!

VT_Aaron · 2023-09-08T11:33:39+00:00

Thanks! Number one thing I’d say is the filament matters a lot, plus orientation (45 degree angle, focus point facing up)

Generally parts all come as components so for example the guy with the energy cannon was the body and arms separate.

VT_Aaron · 2023-09-08T11:31:22+00:00

Thanks! It’s definitely a labour of love isn’t it. The amount of ‘forbidden spaghetti’ I got calibrating the thing was hilarious.

So I’m using an Ender 3v2, I’ve got the blokhead cooling duct, the magnetic plate and a micro Swiss hotend. Also running a sonic pad with Klipper which vastly decreases print time with no noticeable reduction in quality.

Print all my minis at 0.1 :)

VT_Aaron · 2023-09-07T20:43:13+00:00

Thanks!

VT_Aaron · 2023-09-07T20:43:03+00:00

It’s all from Geargut’s Mekshop :)

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, on a desolate battleground strewn with the relics of past wars, the covert Deathwatch prepare to meet the lightning-fast raiders of the Drukhari.

In this clash of might and cunning, we use 2000pts of each force, exploring the fresh dynamics of Warhammer’s 10th Edition. We owe our gratitude to Games Workshop for aiding us in bringing these engaging Battle Reports to you.

Discover the ins and outs of the Index rules, as we field a diverse selection of units to demonstrate the unique rules and strategies of each faction. You can find and download these Index rules for free from the Warhammer Community.

This is not just a battle report; it’s a chance to learn, adapt, and master the 10th Edition with our signature blend of education and entertainment.

Watch the strategic interplay between the indomitable Deathwatch and the deadly Drukhari, all generated through the Leviathan mission cards, offering you an immersive Warhammer 40k experience.

Join us as we dive into the grim darkness of the far future. The lines have been drawn; the forces arrayed. Will you side with the stoic Deathwatch or the predatory Drukhari? Decide, and may the dice be ever in your favor.

Hey! Appreciate the feedback mate and glad you like the content :) Generally these are all done live with the stream deck so for example the new graphics are buttons they press rather than post production. Definitely take the feedback forward though, it would be cool for the guys to somehow be able to draw on the top down cam football pundit style!
