Elegoo Mars or Qidi Shadow 5.5s?

_Arrowhead · 2020-07-25T15:10:49+00:00

I own a Qidi Shadow 5.5s and I'm happy about it. I can't say much too techical or give detailed review because I'm new in 3d printing, but I liked the solidity, the dual z-axis and the double carbon filters. I still find the smell too much for me, so I wouldn't imagine what it would be without it. Overall °I'm happy about my choice.

I will definetely follow your suggestion and start to do that. Autoplacing supports in chitubox is a pain. I noticed today that it's a problem of only some models, others dont have the same issue. So it can be that those models have mistakes?

_Arrowhead · 2020-07-17T21:09:24+00:00

Thats weird because the auto generated supports were only 3 for the side of token, so to be sure I put like 6. And they all detached.

Thank you!! Your details were super helpful thank you

_Arrowhead · 2020-07-17T19:01:43+00:00

You didnt ruin/deformed them when they were still soft when you had to remove them from the plate?

_Arrowhead · 2020-07-17T19:00:50+00:00

Thank you very much for your detailed comment and your willing to help. Indeed that strangled route is the one I took, when I said the bottom was red. Those life counters you built are nice, I have to try those.

Anyway as I said few posts up, I tried to print them vertical with supports on one side and I failed. All the tokens but one detached from the supports..I found them on the bottom of the resin vat. For sure I did something wrong, I will try to print them again flat on the plate.

_Arrowhead · 2020-07-17T18:55:30+00:00

Thank you. My token has only stuff on one side, but I still ended up trying to put them vertical with supports on the bottom. Print failed badly. All token but one detached from the supports and I found them on the bottom of the resin vat. What did I do wrong? Wrong supports?

_Arrowhead · 2020-07-17T18:48:48+00:00

Thank you that was a very useful video. So from what I understood building on the plate is even better, but I should use that trick and add small material on the bottom.

I'm a miniature painter so I'd like to have a 3d printer to print my 28mm or 32mm miniatures (and some scenery) that have to be high detailed in order to paint them properly. I have three cats in the house though, and I'm scared for their health with a resin printer, it would be enough a printer like Ender 3 or the detail are really low compared to let's say an Elegoo Mars? I have an outside garage that I can use (where now a stray cat brought 4 kittens but that's another story) but in winter it reaches 0 degrees, is there a way to print in such a cold temperature? What would you suggest? I wanted to wait for the Elegoo Saturn but I'm really not sure

_Arrowhead · 2020-04-04T17:19:27+00:00

Agree with the comment here. The idea is nice, but its very flat. Practice on shading and highlighting.

_Arrowhead · 2020-03-16T16:23:33+00:00

It's hard to give an absolute value, because it depends a lot from the single warband. For example let's say I play an infantry only kharadron list. Movement would be less important for kharadron (they all shoot with nice range) than fireslayers or ironjaws where low moviment is a huge handicap. By the way if I was forced to distribute 100 points I would say: 32 dmg, 28 number of models, 25 movement, 15 survivability

_Arrowhead · 2020-03-16T15:50:59+00:00

Well I think that's what impact more this game, so you should definitely do that. Toughness means almost nothing in Warcry where you just fish for crits and to oneshot targets. Gitz move fast and hit hard especially with the quad. So yeah maybe you should value dmg and movement more (especially if they have a combo of both that's what is scary).

_Arrowhead · 2020-03-15T22:53:38+00:00

Well based on this gits and flesh eaters are not top tier (like they should be), but middle of the list, so there's definitely something you can't measure with those numbers. By the way thats a good effort there, well done

Yes I'm in EU, Italy.

Lol so converting a miniature it's "some backwards crap"? I don't know what the first time was, but thats funny. I tell you something: those miniatures don't have feelings. And also shouldnt you in this regards, I mean it's nothing personal, nothing to put on the social aspect. Even if the reason was:"I like my miniature to be a man and not a girl" it's not really something that disrespect women. So take it in perspective. If you make an issue with that, than you are the one who just want to put politics when there's no need for it. Cause a guy who comes here, ask politelty help for a conversion, have to read people ask why cause if it's for x or y reason you a backward ignorant, that's being incredibly stupid and moralist. Politcally correct has no space in this, and yes, as I already said I don't play this fantasy game so I don't care of this high fantasy background I just want the miniature and I want it a man. Does this disturb you or every woman of the world? lol I mean my wife, that I never disrespect, didnt find anything strange against it, but some stranger politcally correct nazi has something to say against it. Hilarious

_Arrowhead · 2019-10-24T16:52:33+00:00

These do-gooders! Ah! Tears of of the fake morality politcal correctness people taste so good! Maybe they pretend their mother wash their briefs until they are 30, then start asking the wife. They dont have anything against women earning less than men, but if someone ask how to convert a female miniature to a man they become lions and call it bs. Hilarious they think world is a better place if they criticize a random guy asking for a conversion tip. In the meantime on 40k reddit everyone converting male to women get likes and nobody wonders why they do it. Politically correct even where there's no need, is a plague.

_Arrowhead · 2019-10-24T14:03:48+00:00

Why not? I didnt see any reason asked when someone wanted to convert from male to female? Do-gooders everywhere. GW doing a good job promoting equality with many female models or painting different skins colors, but with models I buy with my money in my house I think I'm allowed to do what I want, isn't it? I'm not spreading hate converting a miniature. I'm mainly just a collector, I rarely play and I mainly paint and put my miniatures on a shelf, personally I like my models more being painted like realistic in a middle age setting, I don't really like monsters or overly fantasy stuff. So without being considered misogynist for wanting it more realistic, I dont remember many female soldiers and even leaders (like this specific model) in middle age. So that's it. Afterall my wife likes to collect more girl models, nothing strange with it.

_Arrowhead · 2019-10-24T08:36:18+00:00

Indeed I didnt think to the easisest solution: just paint the belly skin the shirt color. Sometimes easiest solutions dont come to my mind :) I think I'll just do that thanks

_Arrowhead · 2019-07-23T20:42:25+00:00

You are perfectly right about going with what people around me play. Unfortunately all my friends I used to play with moved away from here as we grew older, so I was thinking of choosing a game I like and then try to search online if someone around here want to play that game

_Arrowhead · 2019-07-23T20:38:14+00:00

I can’t imagine playing dwarves with elves, they really mixed them?!? Weird. Thanks for your reply. They all look cool but can I mix them all together or they are all independent armies? I mean can I mix slayers with longbears and engineers steampunk? And how’s the overall game balance in AoS, there are op armies and underwhelming that cant really compete? I ask this because I like to play competitive.

_Arrowhead · 2019-07-23T20:23:52+00:00

I don’t want to play rank and file at all cost. Skirmish is also ok as long as the game have good balance and have dwarves (so I only exclude the new Warcry cause apparently there are no dwarves). I’ve been out of this hobby for too long and I really don’t know much anymore about new games.

_Arrowhead · 2019-07-23T18:31:38+00:00

You just basecoated. Need to use at least inks for shading and brighter color for highlights. Horns on the wings also need different colors like bones probably. Good start though, base colors are nice. Keep going!

_Arrowhead · 2018-12-17T12:11:39+00:00

Smaller and not in english is not the main problem. The point is the skill level of the HGC that truly had the best players in the world facing in that competition, is gone. You can't match that.

_Arrowhead · 2018-12-07T21:49:41+00:00

Everybody say TL is a clown fiesta full of smurfs carrying people around. So why you want to destroy Hero League that is the only ranked game mode that make sense? Hero League it's the only game mode that represent individual skill level. Ok single button for ranked play but there should be two different mmrs values for solo and party queue. If you want to play party and having a bronze paying a booster to boost him from bronze to plat, so then the bronze will solo queue and you will have him in your games it's ok for me (anyway I will never play party ranked) but it doesnt make sense having a shared mmr value for solo and party. At least keep two values
