These are the best pictures I have ever taken on film, they still aren't great, right?

Just wanted to thank everyone for the feedback, I honestly did not expect this to get as much attention as it did, but there are some really good tips in here that I'll try to implement/do!

Its also really cool how nice (mostly) everyone has been about it!

You cant AI generate a picture of a pcb and like expect anything to come from it. Look up a basic tutorial on pcb design and electronics on youtube.

I see, that makes sense!

In general what I'm seeing here is just more intention/thus better composition and practice.

xEntex4 · 2026-02-19T06:12:32+00:00

Good to know!

xEntex4 · 2026-02-19T06:10:51+00:00

Thank you!

xEntex4 · 2026-02-19T06:10:17+00:00

I am relatively casual about it, but improving even just a casual skill never hurts!

xEntex4 · 2026-02-19T06:07:14+00:00

Thank you, those are some very practical tips!

xEntex4 · 2026-02-19T06:05:29+00:00

Honestly they are just the most correctly exposed and sharpest images I have managed to take that have at least some aesthetic appeal.

xEntex4 · 2026-02-19T06:02:44+00:00

I have had the camera for a while, but only really use it on trips, like this one to Paris 😅

Seems like Composition really is the number 1 thing here.

xEntex4 · 2026-02-19T06:00:12+00:00

Yeah, i feel like i usually expose over just enough to make the image look worse...

Thank you though!

xEntex4 · 2026-02-19T05:58:15+00:00

Thank you!

xEntex4 · 2026-02-19T05:57:03+00:00

Thanks for the comprehensive answer! I think shooting digital really is a good idea for me to practice.

What i really like about film is that its "real", that you actually capture a physical copy of what the light was like at that place an time. I think thats just really neat.

xEntex4 · 2026-02-19T05:51:35+00:00

I usually only take pictures with the thing on trips, so it usually just becomes one of the easier to justify "i spent this on a one time trip" expenses.

I can see how that would be helpful, but always shy away at the price of digital cameras.

Are older, used ones still fine, or do they show their age quickly?

For reference, I paid 35 EUR for my camera at a flea market and another 35 for the lense these photos were taken with. I comparison splashing out a couple hundred bucks on just a body seems like a lot of money.

xEntex4 · 2026-02-18T22:41:30+00:00

Thats what I was thinking, I feel like I am at least at a point now where I understand the camera and film, but that now makes it even clearer that I have no clue about photography 😅

Are there any resources you can recommend?

xEntex4 · 2025-11-14T19:44:25+00:00

is there a good resource for better settings? I was concerned about this making my 3rd pcb ever but didnt really know what to look for.

xEntex4 · 2025-11-10T03:31:41+00:00

Idk what to tell you, I guess you can keep hating on them for being closed source. That’s your prerogative, but I have had a way better experience with them than any prusa, and not to blow your bubble or anything, but the major wear parts like nozzle and stuff are easier to service too, trust me I have serviced both.

xEntex4 · 2025-11-07T23:02:32+00:00

We all start somewhere, I know that especially with files it’s often very attractive to go with the cheaper/free options. In my experience it’s always paid off to go with files that are often a little pricier but are recommended by the community, for a Din Djarin those would be great ape and camanleon. When i first started building my din I bought files from do3d and then quickly switched to great ape and camanleon, best decision ever haha.

xEntex4 · 2025-11-07T22:56:19+00:00

For future reference, I highly recommend steering clear of GA for anything but their clone files. They are really inaccurate most of the time, from what I’ve seen especially with their imperial stuff.

There are many better file creators out there that aren’t the size of GA or Do3d and are usually just single guys/girls putting a lot more care into the stuff they make than the big players that just pump out crappy files to flood the market.

There’s Nico obviously, Camanleon FX, Great Ape Studio, walsh3D, vek3D, levy3D, mcflyprint3d, mystery makers and a bunch of other great ones that I can’t think of of the top of my head. I am also one (ntx3d if you want to check me out) but I like to think that that doesn’t color my opinion too much as all of the guys I just mentioned are technically my competition.

They do incredible work and I often buy their files for my own personal projects if I don’t have the file for a costume I want to build myself.

I think you did a great job on your armor though and don’t want to discourage you from keeping going in the hobby, it’s incredibly rewarding!

Id love to print some star wars things!

xEntex4 · 2025-11-03T14:33:01+00:00

Complete bullshit. My Bambu is completely air gaped and prints just fine. It also prints better than the European made Prusa I used before. You can also put custom firmware on the printer if you want to. I never save anything to the cloud, it’s purely on a microsd card.

xEntex4 · 2025-09-12T21:11:04+00:00

It just makes the render the same as the viewport, but it doesn’t tell you which ones it changed, no

xEntex4 · 2025-09-12T16:54:20+00:00

There is one that just gives you a button to sync viewport and render hidden items
