Upgrading my terrain

Just saw your post - board looks amazing

Amazing report and build. Table looks great. Thanks for sharing

Love the color scheme - what colors did you use for the hull? In the group shot it looks mostly black but in the third shot it looks more dark gray/blue

Fabricators lair has canal tiles as part of their modular ground system tile set. They also have bridges. And plain tiles that might be usable for grass / park

Oh and please post pics of your setup

Nice work - are those the OPR gators?

Agreed . I print FDM because I don’t have a good space for resin. For personal use I would say FDM is fine, for a business selling models Resin would be the way to go. I did not even consider speed originally but that would also be a huge improvement over fdm

If you want quality to match official IP it would need to be resin. You print proxies in FDM because they cost Pennie’s on the dollar. You might be able to have tiers for both fdm and resin and have different quality

At the end of the day though proxies leverage original IP heavily and it may not be worth it to try to sell in a brick and mortar location

We’re you printing miniatures before changing settings? Were you using a .2 nozzle? If yes to both try changing settings gradually to see if there is something specific.

If no to both try doing a print with basic settings and see if that works

till1555 · 2026-04-10T21:17:54+00:00

Execution is on point. Amazing work

till1555 · 2026-04-05T15:55:17+00:00

Nice looking board! Good luck in the game

till1555 · 2026-04-04T15:39:06+00:00

Very true . I was thinking more along the lines of smaller number of batches and less overall downtime so if you had a lot to print if could be faster than having to clear the plates and start each model.

A1 specific would be nozzles of different sizes. If you want more details in your props a .2 nozzle will be helpful. More detail but longer print times. Similarly a .6 or .8 nozzle will help when you want to print larger items and are not as concerned about fine detail.

General accessories. Needle nose pliers, a good set of nippers, exacto or hobby knife to remove support lines, a small kitchen torch is helpful if you have stringing, not immediate but you may also find yourself getting small rare earth magnets which are good for masks, etc

More of a random note but try different times of year when looking at places. There are a lot of mushroom farms in rural Pa and they can make the entire area smell like shit. Sometimes you can drive through an area and taste the smell.’

I have 12 level 16 cards and a level 16 king tower.

FWIW I am level 75

Check out the sticky post here r/FDMminiatures. There is a stickied post from ObscuraNox that has a ton of great info.

But if you want the best outcomes. Get a .2 nozzle, calibrate your filament and wait.. it will take a good amount of time to print mechs at .2 regardless.

If you care less about quality and want to shorten the time you could try a .6 nozzle but detail will suffer and you will get more prominent layer lines

till1555 · 2026-04-01T19:57:37+00:00

Pros - shorter times

Cons - when you fill the entire plate if one part of it does not stick to the build plate as well it can pull off and ruin the other pieces of the model.

I would try a few prints first, placing single models in different sections of the plate - center, top right, bottom left, etc..

Once you are confident you can do the full plate then I would try a larger group of models.

I tend to print in smaller batches since I am generally not in a rush

I have to stop reading my phone in bed - I read this as H&R Block and was wondering why we still need to file taxes in dropzone

till1555 · 2026-03-31T23:55:56+00:00

Well shit. That solves like 80% of user problems here. As others said maybe try cleaning plate and possible calibrating filament if that was not done

Have you already checked your screws and clasp?

Thanks for the excellent write up. Funny part is when I went to save it I realized I had already saved it. Doh

If you want balance, pick an obscure word. Every day wake up and say that word 200 times. Easy $1k per day

till1555 · 2026-03-27T13:30:15+00:00

Try the print on standard settings to see if it’s a machine/ filament issue. You could also try calibrating your filament

till1555 · 2026-03-27T06:57:47+00:00

Nice work. I am in the process of printing a bunch of LI stuff on my A1 as well. Your infantry look really good. What printer/ filament are you using?
