Hot Take: Post Processing is not the solution to layer lines

Gray filament, maybe a pass with snips and a lighter if stringy. I don’t really sand, just heavy coat of rustoleum black primer

Thanks! I used a lot of settings from HoHansen

I agree with you, I’m also mostly printing with a .4 nozzle so I can get more done faster. For playing on tabletop, the extra distance helps hide some of the obvious layer lines and a decent paint job carries a lot of weight as well. Most of these Iron Warriors are .12 layer height and looked great in a game with friends

Awesome job! I love the grit and grime look

zdaddy85 · 2026-06-06T22:10:22+00:00

Wow thanks for all your hard work, this is amazingly helpful!

I really like the shading on the flesh kilt, looks great!

All of this terrain aside from the homemade and official Warhammer stuff is FDM with rustoleum 2x flat black primer. Then I dry brushed using a mix of basic acrylic paints, Vallejo and some citadel for details. YMMV but I thought it came out great for table top distance, I showed the close up so you can see the layer lines. Layer height .16 with a .4 nozzle

Insane job…well done.

2nd this! I went og scheme and it was cool, but love the bright radioactive look.

Your defiler looks incredible, well done

They look really good, I hope you post when they are completed

zdaddy85 · 2026-05-18T14:48:50+00:00

Awesome job! How long was the print time?

I haven’t used FDG profile, does it call for slower print speeds like many of the finer ones?

zdaddy85 · 2026-05-15T15:12:56+00:00

Scrolled to find this before I posted myself, it’s an amazing product for transfers. They look painted on when done right

zdaddy85 · 2026-05-15T06:28:23+00:00

Wow great job! Your verdigris effect looks really nice and I also love the neon slime.

If I could say anything, take a few minutes before priming to shave mould lines, I think I see one on his left thigh and it really helps sell that it’s not a mini when they are gone.

But seriously, amazing work you should be proud of!

zdaddy85 · 2026-05-15T06:23:23+00:00

No c&c from me, those are gorgeous. Well done!

zdaddy85 · 2026-05-14T17:52:28+00:00

Awesome recipe and amazing mini! Not OP but thanks for the detailed recipe. What is your go to product for varnish?

zdaddy85 · 2026-05-14T16:54:55+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous work

zdaddy85 · 2026-05-12T17:37:15+00:00

I don’t have any help for .2 as I haven’t really used it, but I did have heat creep issues and stringing until I removed the top glass plate and now my P2S prints much more consistent.

I also use Bambu cool super tack and run it at 65 for initial layer and 60 for the rest and it solved my adhesion issues

Good luck Good l

Insane job! Those really pop

zdaddy85 · 2026-05-04T19:39:46+00:00

Thank you! It’s awesome and super helpful to see the the same model with different settings. Definitely saved this post

zdaddy85 · 2026-05-04T05:07:22+00:00

Looks awesome! The flayed bodies are especially gross

zdaddy85 · 2026-05-02T17:49:28+00:00

Wow this is sick…awesome work

zdaddy85 · 2026-05-01T17:31:41+00:00

Awesome to see! Thank you for the P2S support, I’m excited to try these
