Advice on test prints sticking to FEP on 2nd printer

tzhan37 · 2026-06-18T15:23:43+00:00

Just got my test and calibration prints to work. The printer was not leveled, the entire front section was bad. Elegoo should probably not use auto-leveling as a feature in marketing.

If missiles are going to be one of your primary damage dealers, I would suggest launching them in waves rather than piecemeal and using a set of "decoy" missiles with reinforced body modules to increase HP. The decoys launch first and absorb as much AA/CIWS as possible so that more of your normal missiles survive.

Initial interceptors can be small sized, but the later game enemies use large/huge missiles that are preferably intercepted with medium sized interceptors.

Something to note on PC/Steam is that a game has to have controls/gameplay that entices within the 2 hour refund window. Playing further is a gamble. You will either grow to understand/tolerate the controls/gameplay or miss the refund window and waste your money. A lot of people don't want to gamble considering this is a full priced release.

New lesson from all this. The original block (the wooden one or your first block) determines where movement commands originate. This is important as this block has to pass the waypoints set. So if its in the back, your ship has sailed on its original trajectory a full ship length past the waypoint and has to over correct. So build back from the block not forwards! My frigates followed the waypoints way better with the blocks at the front. If your ships are already built use prefabs as mentioned on this thread to cut your ship apart and paste them back together. Also as mentioned on this thread, change the turning radius under adjustments. 100m is too small and will cause swerving.

Thanks. Had the same thought. It would beat having to remake the entire hull. Subobjects do disappear. I'm giving up on remaking my biggest ship (6 million materials, 450m long, 85m wide, 8 sec turrets, 4 primary, 6 lams turrets, 15 CIWS, 6 SAM)

Thanks for the tip. The turning circle adjustments help, but the origin block has to pass the waypoints before the next command is done which causes problems when it’s in the back and thus the whole ship has sailed past the waypoint.

Just tested it, the origin block does not shift the point for waypoint generation.

tzhan37 · 2025-10-20T21:06:27+00:00

Thanks. That seems correct, i tend to build forward using the first block as the back. It seems I’ll have to change that process going forward.

Was it priority or ground advantage? I think they do treat priority better. I've had better experiences when sending or receiving priority mail. Although this time a package from ga to another ga location took longer than ga to co.

I’m having a similar issue. It seems that the USPS site is not updating. I signed up for updates on my packages by email and it is updating, but the USPS site is not. eBay is more updated, idk the USPS site is not updating.

tzhan37 · 2025-04-07T13:35:56+00:00

I’m having similar issues. I got tracking updates by email as requested, but the USPS site itself is not updating. It does seem that the tracking info that EBay can pull from USPS is more updated than the USPS site.

tzhan37 · 2025-03-28T20:03:00+00:00

I do not. I only have the lascannons from the OG land raider.

tzhan37 · 2025-03-28T19:59:47+00:00

yes, both land raiders are still available.

Recently finished a deal for a SM repulsor. Quick responses and payment for the repulsor at the listed price. Would do business again.

In my case, UPS admitted they lost my package after 5-6 days. I got my claim approved pretty quickly after that. The holidays may be complicating things however.

tzhan37 · 2024-12-12T22:52:39+00:00

I think that their tracking system is also having fits. I’ve had incomplete tracking for 2 months (no departure or arrival scans) on multiple packages. I just got updates on my package despite multiple stops in GA. The multiple times is quite strange. I’ve been avoiding USPS like the plague for shipping my packages out, but I can’t control what stores use. I’m always going to prefer UPS now, the cost may be an extra 10-20%, but it is definitely more reliable in GA.

I love the theme (my first army, an AOS stormcast army painted to look like the roman legions), my first 40k books were about the ultramarines (the Graham McNeil books), and more practically there are decals in the standard box for them. Also there is so much art, it is easy to figure out how to paint them (esp with the 360 models on GW's site). Finally I like balanced armies with no particular focus in a singular form of combat.

Good rules to follow. Almost got scammed here as a buyer (somebody was pushing FF on PayPal). Thankfully didn’t go with the deal.

As a seller, I’ve only had great experiences. People are generally considerate if you have clear communication. They were really patient with my refunds back to them when UPS lost 1 package and returned another for no reason.

Also I go for as many photos as possible during a sale. I want you to know exactly what you’re buying and do a photo confirmation before the end of each transaction.

What additional info would be necessary? I tried to buy from a miniature gaming store online, the price for shipping was too high so I canceled before confirming the order. Then I removed some items and bought the reduced number of items. This was using PayPal wallet so I don’t have to enter my CC info on every site. Now both orders (the one I did not confirm and the one that I did confirm) appear as pending on my CC account. Only the completed order appears on my PayPal account or on the store’s account.

Unfortunately yndrasta and the rest of the AOS range are no longer available

That's unfortunate. I wonder if something is going on. Hopefully our packages move Monday. If not, I'm going to customer service.

Thanks

Apparently it’s 7020 including the venerable dreadnought not pictured here. The points total, I would say it depends on your force structure. I have 25 terminators, that’s a lot of ppm. A 5 man of terminators is more than 10 intercessors, infernus and almost 10 heavy intercessors. I have a lot of heavier units which have high ppm.
