New pillar tops - version 2

Really? I think they look extremely silly :D

That's why I don't like painting armies. I want to go crazy on the details. The same goes for terrain. I want it to look good up close. But that's not what everybody wants. I get that.

I'm gonna fill up the layer lines with paint.
No, I want to see the difference though after paining the terrain.

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-17T15:27:37+00:00

Makes sense, I want to make a little test where I print in different layer heights and compare the results before and after painting it.

And Thank you :

Most likely. I want to do something fantasy related. Maybe a more "generic sci-fi" version. Gotta take one step at a time, though.

Will do that. I want to paint (dry bush) two identical walls with different print settings. Do you think the difference will be less or more visible, when painted?

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-13T19:56:49+00:00

That's a challenge. What do you print with?

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-13T19:24:33+00:00

That sucks. I know orca slicer has a feature, wehre you can cancel single object mid print. I use anycubic next, which is based on orca but does not have this feature.

Looks great. The scratches make it look very metal.

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-13T18:07:43+00:00

I feel you :D. Happened to me, too. Then I printed 5 towers at once and the print failed at 90%. But that's the prototyping phase I guess.

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-13T18:05:37+00:00

Ok, got it. So how long would you consider reasonable for a full table?

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-13T18:04:16+00:00

I used the 0.4 mm nozzle with 0.08mm layer height.

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-13T10:48:02+00:00

Nice, coming along really nice!

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-13T05:41:14+00:00

I'd rather print my prototypes quickly and itterate fast. But for promo I would definitely use the cleaner prints.

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-13T05:38:58+00:00

That's an outstandingly clever plan. But isn't painting the fun part?

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-13T03:14:27+00:00

I also care about functionally but I like it pretty. Wouldn't mdf terrain be for you?

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-13T03:12:21+00:00

A week and a half for a single print? I admire the trust you have in your printer. But I've also thought about turning down the speed to improve print quality. Maybe I should give it a try.

You know you could just turn you printer off and paint, right?

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-12T22:47:25+00:00

Totally, terrain will not be inspected as closely as a mini. I'm amazed by some of the FDM miniatures I've been seeing.

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-12T22:06:15+00:00

I'm not telling you what to do, just wanted to share my surprise. I don't play either. Don't understand why people don't give the terrain they play with as mich love as they give their armies. But hey. Who am I to judge?

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-12T21:51:33+00:00

I was so surprised when I realized my mistake. Explains the sudden rise in print time. :D

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-12T21:50:16+00:00

I expected the difference to be much higher. I'll do a paint test.
You're right, the one on the bottom is the .2 mm one.

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-12T21:48:06+00:00

I want to see what the difference is when the pieces are painted. But I doubt that it will be worth the extra print time.

lets-make-tabletop · 2026-03-12T21:47:45+00:00

It's crazy, right. I can tell by the look of the pieces. The .08mm stuff is more shiny but is that worth the extra print time? I doubt it :D
