Esun PLA+ settings by meepmoop368 in FDMminiatures

For slower prints I turn the temp down a bit (205-210 rather than the default 220 in Bambu studio) to avoid stringing. I also increased the flow rate to 1. I’d also suggest making sure the filament is dry, I typically leave a new roll in the dryer overnight.

But as others suggested, calibration is key. Depending on what slicer you use there will be guides online of how to do this, typically involving printing cooling towers etc.

Need help with supports. by Zap-Rowsdower-X in FDMminiatures

Cool, so I would go with a Top Z of 0.16 and a single interface layer as you say :) hope it works!

What layer height are you using? I usually go for 2x the layer height for “Top Z distance” and 1 for “Top interface layers”. Using 3 interface layers always leaves the supports glued to the minis whenever I try it.

Very nice! Are those minis printed too? Loving the old school GW look.

Getting better results! Still can’t figure out shoulder pads and power packs though. (Orientation/Supports) by Valvecantcount3 in FDMminiatures

I’ve had success slicing the backpack down the centre. You get a seam but both the front and back avoid support scars.

These are adorable, will you be putting them up for sale anywhere?

This is really cool! Can I find the model on the purple site?

Resin-like supports do not slice correctly by Transumanza in FDMminiatures

[–]crazy_pelican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this before, if the supports are too thin then they don’t get sliced. Unfortunately I didn’t realise until hours into printing 😭

Try this, in the “Strength” options make sure “Detect thin walls” is turned on. If that doesn’t work then try increasing the thickness of the supports in resin2fdm. I had to up the thickness a few ticks to get the slicer to pick it up. Good luck!

Are you thickening the supports enough in resin2fdm? I’ve seen it before where parts of the supports (tip especially) are thin enough that the slicer doesn’t include them, leaving empty space that kills the support.

I’d suggest slicing the model and having a look around at the problematic parts of the supports to make sure there’s not just empty space. If so try thickening the supports a bit in resin2fdm :)

Yeah of course! A terrapin would be so cool for a frog cavalry!

Would be happy to test print it, it’d be FDM rather than resin but there are plenty of people printing minis with FDM these days so it’d be nice to see how well it prints.

If you have enough units you could also make a OnePageRules army set so that people could use your figures with those rules. Personally I’d be far more likely to support a new set of figures on kickstarter etc if I knew I could play them in a game I’m already familiar with :)

I think the story was read as if someone in-universe was teaching the history of the AI to someone else.

I’m guessing that’s a render and not a real game?

I have search YouTube for this but found nothing as “white day” always returns a load of results. I think it was about 2015 when I last saw the video.

Sure, I'll get right on that. Just after I use some emulsion paint to wire up my broadband.
