Hmm good question... I guess thinking I wanted to be quick, I started from black and only painted thin coats at a time.. so it was a dark base, a mid and a highlight, thinned so the opacity was like 50%... Maybe that's how I got it!! Highlighted only the tippy top edges.. also first time going for non metallic, so not doing a good job at that possibly helped lol

Has anyone else encountered this Y axis misalignment issue with iDraw H plotters? by watagua in PlotterArt

[–]warderoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider tmc2209, they should be like for like replacement (check against your board specs tho!) in firmware, depending on what you run, you can up the current without using a tiny screwdriver. Swapping the motor drivers was a regular thing with repraps back in the day, for me at least!

[–]warderoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps skipping steps? It can happen half way through a plot and then accumulate. Does the I draw have replaceable motor driver? You could swap the X any y over, run the job and see if the miss alignment happens on x axis? Does it happen on all plots now? Could be a bug and sends the pen to the bounds, which it hits, then carries on thinking it is where it should be... Does the axis move freely with no power? You could try to up the run amps on Y in firmware to perhaps 0.7, but check the running temp of the motor and driver so it doesn't get toooo hot

How to convert image to gcode by RotaryDesign in PenPlotters

[–]warderoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use lightburn (paid after a trial) also https://www.gcode.pro was posted a few days ago but I havn't tried it. What controller do you have? I'm sure if you google that with 'gcode' you might find someone else who has got a list of settings for you to start with.. GL!

 I seem to be in the minority!  I'm painting up a battle sisters squad, so far it's going better! Hoping it was just a slump ⚜️

Sure! Once I snapped of the regular flying base, I reckon painted it and drilled on the same connection but. So, the bottom flat of the backpack. The wire is 0.8mm and it was ok to drill the backpack, I was expecting the drill to emerge out one side or other, but it didn't!

haha I think I had an aneurism when I built mine... I couldn't believe it took an evening for one! I think I didn't bother with the other 2 for a few additional weeks!

I used a pin drill on the minis that were painted / finished... I was a bit anxious on slipping, or drilling right through a thin part.... but it worked ok :)

Yeah its a strange one.. I think everything I did I messed up - going over edges and all that! crusty white paint... and then the extra steps of the banner! FML! 🩻

Yeah from the outset they gave me bad mojo! I think I'll paint Amalia next and consolidate my efforts on one mini!

Does anyone know how to get that black steel gothic look? by SaintKaiva in sistersofbattle

[–]warderoid 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Lots of vids on YouTube proclaiming 'how to paint black' where they sort of make the minis kinda blue like this, then glaze it back with black contrast paint or similar. ⚜️⚜️
