Any of you know a good guide on how to orient obejcts for resin style supports on a fdm printer, have been experimenting but I keep getting very scared objects... been using blueprintstudios to auto support

This is a tiny 3D printed elephant, printed inside a cell

Anyone got an stl for the sicaran or spartan tanks that has the track links separate? I like the style of those a lot and want to print some for my landraider conversion im working on, but so far the only ones I have found have pre-baked track assemblies

How do I prevent freshly printed parts from warping?
And is an ssd better than an hdd at archiving stls in a data recovery way if it becomes unresponsive?

>>96327663
prooooooooh :DDDD
>>96329594
magnetic tape

any boxnought scans out there?

>>96326147 (OP)
That's a cool looking tank

I'm about to use my printer for the first time and I am nervous

>>96330025
Yes but they're in the gay super secret group who doesn't want people to even buy from them it's incredibly stupid

I spent $150 on STLs
When it's a product I enjoy I think it's worth it and I want them to make more things I enjoy
I will never pirate unless it's GW scans or GW copyright infringing sculpts

>>96330251
Understandable. I’m somewhat of the same way.

>>96330244
Have fun. It you get failures that's just part of the learning process.

>>96330251
150 during the current sale, or in total?
I also often buy files i think are worth it, but i have no issue to pirate.

What supports should I use for 15mm miniatures?

>>96330025
what specifically do you want?

>Replace the FEP film for the first time
>Finish tightening the screws, admire my handiwork
>Fumble with the screwdriver like clumsy oaf, it hits the FEP film and leaves a noticeable scratch
FUCK! I guess I should have bought the 5-pack instead of the 2-pack. I'll still try it out tomorrow, maybe it's not that bad. And it was near the edge so maybe I can just avoid that area when not printing anything really big.

Anyone have STLs for warmaster? I finally get a printer and forest dragon gets nuked

Thanks I have to check them out.

I have access to some 40k stuff but Im looking for Forest Dragons files specifically the Lizardmen line that got nuked. Printing some Tomb Kings right now

>>96332062
Lmao I did the exact same but with an allen key. I thought "I'll run one print on this while I change the fep in my second vat". That was about 9 prints ago and it's been fine so far. I have 3 prints to go so I'm going to chance it but better to be safe than sorry if you have the time to change it again.

At least only the one claw was damaged in the process of fixing my mess up

>>96336607
I mean if you're using it for tabletop just like saw it lost that part of the claw in previous combat or something
Crabs irl losing claws isn't unheard of or anything

I'm looking for Warcraft 3 style models, but unsurprisingly everything I find is WoW (or worse, Reforged) themed. Do such models even exist?

>>96337823
I've only seen WC3 buildings

>>96337823
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/tyrande-whisperwind-warcraft-3-priestess-of-the-moon
Like this kinda warcraft 3 or do you want high res models?

>>96337904
I've seen some buildings, they're pretty good.
>>96337978
Came across those as well. I'm looking for something more high res, but it really seems like there isn't much. Might have to bite the bullet and get some of the less bad Reforged-like models... It's mostly the humans, the orcs and ghouls that look the worse in that style. That whole thing was a mess.

This Evil Dwarf Rhino was once available on cults.
Does anyone know how I could find this model?

Would be fun to make a retro horde with fitting demon riders.

Shadowsword Arkurian Pattern from Forge World
Stormhammer Pattern from Forge World

Any scans?

>>96338067
Pointless to scan such big FW vehicles, if they are easier to resculpt.

>>96330025
Wait a little while and Forges of Zeon's 1:1 kit will be finished. If he *ever* stops fucking around with dumb whacky fringe addons for Deredeos & Leviathans.

>>96333776
>Go on Trannygram
>Search forest dragon
Seriously guys it's not difficult.

>>96338268
>Pointless to scan such big FW vehicles, if they are easier to resculpt.
You might be underestimating the time and effort required to 3D model something that large and complex at 1:1. Using scans is simply more time efficient. If standard Baneblade scans are out there, then there are Forge World scans.

>>96338356
Cleanup for scans takes a lot of time too, and the specialized scanners often can't handle bigger parts.

>>96338554
I'm an expert in that field and know a thing or two about processing theses fast.

Death stranding was proof that as soon as Kojima got freedom he just hired Hollywood actors he liked and wrote the roles for them rather than cast someone who was actually good

>>96340475
We print models here sir.

>>96338356
So. Here's my goal. I'd like to measure the stormhammer side sponsons to make from plastic card if you get that. Additionally if you get your shadowsword, I could get the gun mount on the front of the hull measurements and build that aswell.

Best of luck. Wish games workshop sold shit like this as large additional feature kits

Why is cults obsessed with horrible little penis-headed creatures

>>96326147 (OP)

3dpg bros every time I start looking for an STL file it’s like I fall down the f*cking stairs, and then a well at the bottom. Hours pass, my hard drive available space is cut in half.

Every.
Time.

>>96340874
I know that feel. I also have a hard time even deleting STLs that I've already printed since there's always that voice in the back of my head going: "you might want to print it again if you aren't satisfied with the paintjob or if you drop it and it breaks". Well, at least I'm only hoarding digital assets instead of anything physical.

>>96340621
No point there are no big libraries of stc files of 3d prints anymore

>>96340497
nta but I could rip and print those guys if I bought death stranding

Goddamn resin doesn't smell like what I was expecting
I thought it was going to be a clean strong chemical smell but resin smells dirty somehow

>>96342574
Smells like meth and a nail salon combined.

>>96340898
literally me

>>96342574
Different brands have different smells. Mine smells a bit like lemon.

How many of you leave your vats filled with resin when not printing?

>>96342986
yeah

>>96342986
I do

im a newbie to this and im looking for the trannygram channels that have warhammer models and other minis. Do i just search in the bar for them? What are the best ones

Any of you guys made any OGRE minis that aren't direct copies of the official ones? There's a handful floating around, but I'm curious if anyone has taken them in a somewhat different stylistic direction.

Was thinking of doing some in the same vein as Maschinen Krieger/Makoto Kobayashi.

>>96343531
Just type Chrischan they've got the best scans

>>96342986
Sure, why not? It's fine for a couple of days. If it's longer, I just dispose it when I want to print again

>>96344357
please dont lie to me im extremely fragile and gay

>>96344624
Okay

>>96346369
you are not actually serious about chrischan are you? Gleaning through a tg channel with a bunch of sonichu dudes would ruin my day

>>96343531
>Do i just search in the bar for them?
Yes.

>>96346523
Oh, Yeah. I wasn't lying it really is called "Chrischan Bitz".

>>96352233
Isn't there Picklemans Bitz aswell?

>>96342986
For a few days yeah if work or other life stuff puts a stop to my printing project. Between projects, no. Back in the bottle, in a container, in a storage unit, out the house.

I tend to print in projects rather than just printing the odd model here or there, so when I set my printer up it's for a few days or a week or whatever. Makes it easier to justify leaving the resin in the vat because it's for a finite amount of time.

>>96353013
This is neat. Eons of Battle did a similar set for watchtowers and such, but with a pringles tube for the tower.

>>96353280
I usually dont print in "projects", but try to use up one bottle at a time, or more than one if necessary.
If i'm done with whatever i was planning to print, i then just fill the plate with some basing bits, sandbags, or an odd but interesting miniature to paint at some point and print 1-2 more plates to get rid of the resin.
Filling it back to a bottle, or keeping bottles with 30% resin inside.. idk.. i rather get rid of it.

>>96338067

i know this feel. this isnt even including the ones i have stored on the cloud

Does anyone have any tips to improve my FDM prints? I think it looks pretty good, but maybe a bit scratchy in some areas. I don't want to spend too much time cleaning them up. Also I'm looking for Celestant Prime if anyone has the file, I can't find a lot of stormcast.

So. No forge world scans?

Could someone point me towards an artist who does new releases in a style that resembles the stuff from the 90s?
Closest I've found was pic related but the proportions aren't quite right.

>>96358366
if you want good minis off an FDM machine you kind of just need to print SUPER slow, with a tiny nozzle, and very good cooling.
mate of mine got really into making the ultimate voron 0 mini machine, it had extra fans that blew from all sides onto the mini, to stop droop, the hotend had two volcanos to keep the fans from cooling the plastic too fast, he would run it at something like 5mm/s, and used 2 0.01mm extruders, one for dissolvable support material, which was a bowden extruder, and the direct drive for the ABS, which he vapor smoothed.
the end product took 12 hours to print an admittedly very nice half of a space marine, which post vapor smoothing looked a LOT like a poorly cleaned resin mini.
in the time it took him to print a full marine i had run off 4 plates of marines on my mono x.

anyone got the Emps file from Artkanum? guy doenst sell his shit anymore and dont want to buy it 2ndhnd

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjUD2WnLzdA
How long until this technology is optimized for consumer use, and we can start printing and painting minis and structures in bulk?

Any decent 3d printer sellers in UK or Europe? I don't have a printer but I want to buy some 3d minis

>>96360242
>3d printer sellers
You want to buy a printer?
Or prints?

Check Etsy.

>>96358597
What do those 1k sons have in common with stuff from the 90s? Its just proxies for the recent ones.
What are you looking for?

>>96358439
Nobody bothers really. To scan, you would have to buy a huge ass model, then scan it for hours, and spend even more hours to fix all the flaws digitally too, and then maybe you get to sell your files to 5 people because its so specific?
Especially if there are near perfect 1 to 1 re-sculpts of all those tanks already.

Its far more easy and benefitial to anyone who scans to spend those hours to scan the current plastic box sets, and sell those files to 100+ people because everyone hungers for the newest releases.

>>96360489
They're chunkier and simpler than the official rubrics.
I'm looking for pic related, large heads and limbs, small torsos and overall simplified versions of the shit GW puts out nowadays.

>>96360594
Helforged, Reptilian Overlords, ThatEvilOne, Tablehammer or Surrogate Miniatures maybe?

>>96358710
I don't know if I'm willing to go that far, but I'll try slowing down printing a bit. It's actually pretty smooth other than at thinner areas like my belakor's sword. I'm in a small apartment so I don't really want to get into resin printing yet, but vapor smoothing sounds like a good option to try out for now. I'll try it today, hopefully it maintains details well.

>>96360513
Fixing?? No wonder, I understand why. It's because you can't fix it properly. Best part about early scans were, they were raw and unfiltered. If your breaking details no wander nobody wants them.

>>96360861
What are you talking about? You need to fix all the FW warped parts, bubbles and gaps.

>>96360892
Oh, God. No wonder. So your fixing them to sell.

anyone knows who made these? I didn't write it down and forgot where I got them from

>>96360957
Those are from the big.

I would share the code but we've got this guy here trying to sell stuff. >>96360513

>>96358439

Here's a proxy, It was made from a scan. Unless your using reddit nobody really shares on 4chan anymore.

>>96360997
>big
As in the reddit ssd?

>>96360957
Just look for Tallarn Desert Raiders. They have been shared to countless publics groups. Probably have been part of the onlyscans leak that happened around 1,5 years ago.

>>96361051
yeah, thanks, I think I nabbed it from something like cults before it got scrubbed

>>96361025
Lurk more, there are shared files in pretty much every other thread. I have uploaded dozens of files myself.

>>96361086
If you don't have the big ssd files from forge world, then clearly you don't have all the shares.

>>96361082
Should be indeed those guys. Its 306mb.

>>96361098
I would give you more but we've got this guy here. >>96361086

>>96361097
I have more files than i could ever print anyway. But thanks for your concern.

>>96361108
Great. Post the tallarn desert raiders. You won't, Because you don't.

>>96361114
But i do.
I literally just downloaded them, to check if its the files that Anon here (>>96360957) asked for, or something else. And then i posted (>>96361098 ) the picture to confirm that its indeed those. And i also told him that they are super simple to find.
If they were from some of the Mega archives i have, i would upload them now, but they are in like 25 different public groups, so the Anon from above will certainly find them himself.

Noob here wanting to print mostly Warhammer.

Is a flagship printer like a saturn ultra 16k worth it for my purposes, or am I just as well off with a cheap printer like a halot R6 for a quarter of the price?

>>96361098
mine is smaller, like 220mb
seems the same anyway

>>96361098
Mine are 1008mb

>>96361147
Get a Mars 4 Ultra if you want a budget printer.
Saturns advantage is the big print plate, not the better resolution. You can simply print more stuff at the same time with it, but pixel size is actually worse than on the smaller ones.

>>96361171
Good for you. I deleted them again already. I have other stuff to print. Maker Cults released pic related today and i fell in love with those trucks.

>>96365158
Looking good anon!

I've had massive failures my last 5 prints, found some lizardmen scans who've have been giving me a fuckton of problems. I'm not sure exactly what's causing this, could be the settings, i lowered my layer height by a few um, but the test prints i did when i did that came out fine, or it could be that i accidently got water-washable instead of my standard resin, and it doesn't mix with the tabletop resin i mixed in.
Thoughts? I've printed the aggrodons twice, 5 at a time, but only one came out in a usable state. I'm pretty sure this isn't a support issue, as i just copied the chestplates they have, and 3 out of 5 failed despite being identical.

Did that anon ever get his stormhammer? I just scanned mine for him, it's already pre-built.

>>96368415
are the STLs actually a solid solid inside?

>>96368415
You can mix the resins, but keep in mind that water washable needs different settings, so depending on your mixing ratio, you probably should change something

>>96368460
Not the raptors, they're hollow with a drain, and the saurus are scanned in parts, but even those needed 3 seperate prints for a squad of 10.

>>96368505
Figued it would be that, it does feel less viscous than the standard kind i used before.

>>96368415
What are you making your supports in?
It looks like you need a few thicker supports
Try using lychee

>VictoriaMiniatures 3D printed miniatures is full of cured supports
I need the best advice you guys can give me when it comes to removing cured supports without taking off excess material of the model itself.

>>96368955
A tiny diamond saw with which you carefully saw off any support point.

>>96368417
Yes, just delete it.

a long shot, but anyone happen to have Quar - Western Arnyaran Rhyflers stl?
https://miniset.net/sets/zsm-mmf408034
they have been removed from their store

So have been printing for a few years now. Errors every now and then, usually figure out what's going on but this one has stumped me. Same printer settings have had no issues with the rest of my mk4 guys, but the shoulder pad brick did this. Twice. The brick of shoulder pads I printed last month, no issue. Same file settings and everything. Doing another print right now to see if somethings utterly fucked, but I don't expect it to be.

might not be the best thread for it but does anyone know a 3d printing service for bits? I had some stls I wanted to try and I don't have a printer.

>>96370559
make your supports thicker
the pad is snapping off at the tip of the support

>>96371676

That's the proper scale if you really want to play a World War game.

>>96365158
Lol that's awesome. I love the crossbow and musket side weapons

>>96372041
I'm starting to think that's the issue, the temp or the fep. As another print failed.Presupported stuff just came right off the supports and a manually supported one did the same with some jank. It's just the weird strips in the shoulder pad one and the like half printed shoulder pads horizontally half printed, not vertically like you would expect, that had me questioning what's going on.
Thanks. Getting some feedback helped me narrow down from what I know of trouble shooting.

>>96378728
there have been further developments

>>96379461
Okay, So not to be that guy but like fedual wouldn't have access to alot of the tech you have placed on it.

even iron warriors home world had similar things but they weren't fedual more a mixture.

Pick a speed or post stormhammer.

>>96379461
1. Feudal Worlds Aren’t Technologically Advanced

Feudal worlds, in 40K lore, are essentially stuck in the medieval era (think swords, armor, castles, peasants, and knights). Their tech level is nowhere near capable of producing, repairing, or maintaining advanced technology like lasguns, tanks, or engines. These worlds are focused on basic survival, agrarian economies, and the occasional warlord's feuds. The Imperial Guard, on the other hand, is all about standardized, industrial-scale military equipment, including lasguns, Chimeras, and tanks.

2. The Role of the Adeptus Mechanicus

In the 40K universe, when a world is inducted into the Imperial Guard, the Adeptus Mechanicus (the tech-priests) are the ones responsible for supplying, maintaining, and ensuring the Guard is equipped with proper technology. A feudal world, with little-to-no relationship with the Mechanicus, would be a huge liability. Without access to the Adeptus Mechanicus' massive forge worlds, they couldn’t produce or repair the necessary equipment for an Imperial Guard regiment. The Mechanicus also controls the manufacturing of lasguns, tanks, and the infrastructure that powers Imperial forces.

The Guard isn't just handed these weapons out of nowhere; they rely on the Adeptus Mechanicus' sacred tech. Without Mechanicus involvement, a feudal world would only have access to primitive gear, or, in some rare cases, scavenged Imperial tech that would be in poor condition and unreliable.

>>96379461
3. Training and Infrastructure

Feudal societies lack the infrastructure to build, maintain, or even properly train with high-tech gear. The Guard's advanced weapons and vehicles aren't just handed out like candy; they require years of training, specialized tech skills, and complex logistics. Even if a feudal world was to be “drafted” into the Imperial Guard, their soldiers would be equipped with whatever they could muster. Most likely, that means axes, crossbows, or perhaps some basic lasguns—assuming they even had access to the proper tech at all.

Even if a regiment of feudal soldiers was sent off to war, they'd probably be a mix of poorly trained peasants with whatever weapons the Mechanicus decided to provide them. The logistics of maintaining lasguns, tanks, or any other advanced tech would be completely beyond them. Any regimental vehicles or specialized units (like artillery or armor) would either be limited or completely absent.

4. The Mechanicus’ Role in Arming the Guard

Let’s clarify how the Imperial Guard gets its gear. The Adeptus Mechanicus is the key player here. They provide the Imperial Guard with all of its weapons, armor, and vehicles through the Imperium’s sprawling industrial network. When a world sends troops to fight in the Emperor’s name, the Mechanicus ensures that those soldiers have the equipment they need. Without their involvement, even if a feudal world is raised to fight in the Emperor’s service, it’ll be sending its people off with a patchwork of whatever can be scavenged or gifted by the Mechanicus.

>>96379461
TL;DR: Feudal worlds in 40K can't produce or maintain high-tech gear like lasguns or tanks. The Mechanicus arms Imperial Guard regiments, and feudal worlds would be severely lacking in the tech and infrastructure needed to properly equip an army.

>>96379648
>>96379646
>>96379641
>>96379636
reads like chatgpt
anyway a feudal world is more than capable of developing a big metal box, putting wagon wheels on it and some primitive mechanical turrets/sponsons all powered by the equivalent of galley slaves

>>96379675
I think you underestimate how output a person has opposed to a horse or engine.

There's a reason why horse, water and wind dominated our society until steam engines came along. Even in the roman period slave labor for mining pumps wasn't that practical for anything relatively deep.

>>96379682
ah yes interesting, however, they just put a chimera engine in it and connected what they could make on their own world to the mechanicus provided engines and hull
and it came out exactly like that and works because I made them up to be that way, and they came to me in a dream

>>96379692
So breaks down and the entire army is wiped out in a matter of minutes.

In reality, his army would just be guys with sticks on the front in the first wave that die.

>>96379714
>>96379724
nah actually they'd just be utilized well because they exist in a headcanon that's not by a retarded grimderp manchild, and thus are commanded by competent commanders who play to their strengths

>>96379682
Pretty much all the Feudal worlds in 40k have some sort of proto-"dieselpunk"-tech anyway.

>>96380307
These planets are populated by folk who have lost access to all but the most basic of technologies and maintain Iron Age or early Gunpowder Age societies. Farming, simple labour-intensive machines such as pulleys, windmills and the like are known but propelled flight, automatic weaponry and powered vehicles are likely to be rare or non-existent. These worlds are often said to be the most politically harmonious of all the planets of the Imperium because their peoples know their place.

“ I’ll take the Nut Rocker for ¥1,000 "

How feasible would it be to print a proxy army where all the dwarves in leagues of votann are replaced with orangutans to make a jokaero army? Are there enough ape stls out there that could be made to hold guns, or would I have to learn to use a modeling software to make this a reality? The robots can stay robots in this hypothetical.

>>96373892
They have a hive ship and everything. It's beautiful.

>>96386077
just get yourself a bunch of appropriately sized bases, buy lots of jokaero drop pods and you should be good. white werewolf tavern has some decent monkeys and there's a sci-fi orangutan squad on the purple. You could always slap t'au parts on top of their bodies to make plates of armor, etc.

Greetings /3dpg/.

Does anyone here have any experience with Mad Robot Miniatures STLs?
Are they well done, or do they need any work to fix up?

got a model, then wanted to downscale it to 50%, suspect it may be dangerous for this piece being really thin.

which is the position for this kind of shapes?

>>96386077
If you get ninja ripper you could rip hero forge models, they just added ape race, so you could get custom poses and equipment from there.

>>96386506
Safest would be straight vertical up, but that would ruin the eye, so I would see how supports look if the rod goes up in a 45° angle?

Else, at that scale it would probably be better to just remove it anyways and drill a hole so you can reinforce it with a bit of wire instead of resin.

>>96378083
Nozzle clogged? Cause it looks like uneven extrusion way before the overhang.

From a quick glance at your list, it doesn’t look like any of the Forge World Warhammer 40k models you mentioned have been included in the major 3D scan packs that have circulated on 4chan or Reddit. Most of the packs that have surfaced so far tend to focus on more common plastic kits or popular units from the main Games Workshop line, rather than the more niche or resin-only Forge World models. It’s possible they just haven’t been scanned yet or haven’t been shared publicly.

>>96389347
Unfortunately, nothing like that was ever properly scanned while it was still being sold on Forge World. The only versions around now are poor-quality recasts that are missing a lot of detail.

It’s usually pretty obvious when someone shows up to a tournament with 3D-printed recasts and you can see all the missing fine details, including the security markings.

>>96389470
>>96389347
I was seriously about to lose a game to this Space Marine player with a ridiculous amount of Predator tanks, but I noticed he was missing some of the security details. I pointed it out, the rep checked his model, and boom. he got disqualified for not using games workshop models.

I don't know how he didn't know it's not like they've updated the detail in a decade.

>>96389470
>Implying most recasts aren't just better quality than FW trash.

>>96389347
The Krieg stuff for sure. Malcadors as well.

You are the exact opposite person we want using this thread

>>96392485
looks like overexposure+too small detail for the little symbols
for the layer lines, I'd say that's orientation +supports
you're going to struggle printing a perfect sphere without a really good printer
Don't use photon workshop's auto generated supports, put it into Lychee and use the medium size supports auto generated, orient the eye with that stalk facing towards the build plant and support it that way then export the whole thing, supports and all, to an stl and put that into photon workshop to slice it directly

technobarbarian STLs?

>>96392858
I want to make a 6x2mm hole in one of the pieces, can I do that in lychee?

>>96393386
You're better off using the hole punch in Photon Workshop, Lychee is good for supports but lots of other things suck

lolwut?

I hate 3D printing man
Fuck resin
But there is no alternative

>>96393688
Why? It's not that bad surely
What's your workflow?
For me it's like spend eternity fiddling with the models in blender, support in lychee, slice in photon workshop, use a hair dryer to heat up my resin and then print, use a spatula to scrape it off the build plate onto some paper towel, scrub with 100% isopropyl alcohol over paper, dunk in isopropyl alcohol container after scrub and scrub more, cure on rotating uv lamp table
Never had a print take longer than a day

>>96393696

The alternative is to buy models. If you hate printing so much, then let others do it for you.

afaik he used some rough scans to refine, and did not make everything from scratch. Still great work, and it covers pretty much everything.

>>96392169
>no responses
I know it is a stupid thing to ask, but I waited a while for my Victoria miniatures order to come in and I don’t wanna fuck it up.

>>96395158
a hobby knife will cut but it might break the resin instead, if its not sharp enough. And if that happens, you might see it on the model.
Maybe its better to use clippers and clip it off very close to the model

>>96395841
Are you that guy trying to make a converison kit for the baneblade? I don't think you will find what your looking for most raw scans are guarded you would be better off just scanning a baneblade yourself.

>>96395841
There are many goals you can try to achieve with printing:

>printing something cool looking
>printing something that is obviously meant to be a GW vehicle, but has a unique design
>printing something that is obviously a Leman Russ (or any other GW vehicle) so it wont stick out next to other GW vehicles
>printing something that is 1 to 1 copy to something GW sells, to trick people into believing its a real GW model

Probably like 1-3% of people care about the 4th option, and the majority is totally fine with option 2 and 3.

>>96395865
I am, and the leman russ and chimera aswell as the baneblade.

I would really like to start modeling but finding some raw scans is next to impossible, I might do it in plastic card.

Obviously the 3D Printing community isn't what, I thought it was. Shame considering, I have cad files for like half of the WW2 tanks and Cold war tanks.

What did you expect?

>I have cad files for like half of the WW2 tanks and Cold war tanks.
Have you printed some yet?

Speaking of prints, my LUVs are coming along nicely. Currently printing some stowage and weapons for the flatbed ones because i did not like whats included.

>>96395991
How big are those things next to a regular old guardsmen?

>>96395888
In case you're able to pull it off and track down some raw scans, here are my requests.
1. The VK3002(DB)
2. T-28 Super Heavy Tank
3. P26/40 tank
4. L3/35

Additionally could you please share them?

Those look baller anon. What's your set up.

Looking for a good source other than thingiverse for dungeonblock equivalents. Those fuckers want $80/set for the files. I like the system though. Anyone know any good alternatives?

>>96399527
I give Makers Cult the credit for their excellent presupports. You can see some marks on the bottom of the trucks tho.
I use a Mars 4 Ultra with elegoo water washable 2.0 (mainly because it's so cheap during sales on Amazon, but it also prints nicely desu)

Goddamn it I wish I bought a Saturn instead of a Mars

>>96392485
Look up 'delamination'. From what I remember, your exposure is too low or your temperatures too low, leading to the layers not being able to fully cure onto one another.

>>96401422
I'm not too familiar with dungeonblocks but a creator I really like for his minis has something that might be them. Have a look at monstrous encounters dungeonworks.

>>96392485
Actually, I change my answer. I didn't see your earlier pic of the item in the slicer. It could be that your exposure time is fine, but the specific area that you're seeing delamination is due to not having enough supports. The rest of the model is supported adequately and prints as expected, but the delaminated part is kind-of-printing-kind-of-not because it's where the supports change from being adequate to being insufficient. You could try adding more supports and see if that helps. If you're bothered about the support scarring then my suggestions would be to dial in your support tips to be as small as possible (this results in occasional print failures for me, but I don't mind because I get virtually no support scarring) or increase your exposure time to help those layers bond a little more securely.

Does anyone have models for fantasy boots? I fucking hate tying to make those from scratch.

>>96402301
>>96402273
I have been getting wierd delamination errors. one of the things could be that the fep is not thight enough. or maybe is not clean enough and cloudy?
I have done many printings just fine before, but recently im getting troubles with "delamination" or suports on the tip of feet not happening.

>>96403623
New resin?

>>96327663
>>96377540
Yo, is this real?

So where would i find raw scans of imperial guard tanks to clean up? all the cleaned up files are pretty shit.

>>96404048
>TFW when your trying to make a conversion kit for a baneblade and realize the 3D printed model is missing practical all of it's insides meaning it won't fit a real baneblade forcing you to make a conversion kit for a specific 3d model.

Even plastic card is easier than this shit.

>>96403849
not really, I have use it before, elegoo standar grey.
also noticed that when I make supports, some times they should be appart, but during printing they cluster, which make it worst to remove them... and other times it scares that some times the supports are already removed from the model, the print could be fine, but if is that easy to snap, maybe because of that im getting other errors.

>>96404199
Increase exposure time.

>>96404048
That's a good question so far haven't seen anything that's raw only stuff from 2011 is raw nowadays.

If I had would share but only if your using it it for education

>>96402273

What's the best way to clean up raw scanned files anyways?

>>96407837
wire brush and dettol

I bought a 3d Printer but honestly there isn't much I want to print
One page rules minis are technically ok but I hate the sculpts
Same with Highland Miniatures although Highland miniatures look really generic
I'm going to print out a chaos dwarf army but otherwise idk, i kind of expected there to be tons of great miniatures out there

>>96407837
From the scan you get a pointcloud that gets turned into a polygon mesh, often with defects and lost details.
Haven't done it myself, but from some scanned files you can tell that they used some sculpting software to smoothen some areas and resculpt some details. Depending on the person it can look wonky, its a hands on process after all.
Others use the scan just as a base and remodel it from the ground up, just with the scan to guide them. So like tracing an image in 2D.

For something like tanks, tracing is way better because of all those flat areas.

>>96407837
>>96409017
"Most of what people call 'scans' are actually just photogrammetry of painted models. Even then, the setups are often lacking, and they don't qualify as true 3D scans. Some of the earliest high-quality captures were done with laser scanners, which offer far more precision.

Unfortunately, there’s a growing trend where newer hobbyists use Blender and ZBrush to clean up and refine their "scans" and have build a sort of cult of personality around themselves. If you question their workflow or results, you're often met with dogpiling rather than discussion.

For context, I work with laser scanning professionally. I know how to properly process and handle scan data using the right software. The only thing I don't have at home is access to the $20,000 laser scanner that lives at work.

>>96408552
>i kind of expected there to be tons of great miniatures out there

Depends a huge lot on your taste, doesn't it?
I often find cool stuff, just from clicking around on MMF and looking through some catalogues.

>One page rules minis are technically ok
I like their Wood Elves the most.

>>96409289
so in short: They deliver some actual files to print, while you dont. And you are pissed because you think you know it better than them, and they dont appreciated your insights and banned you from their groups.
Nice blogpost.

>>96410039
I'm sorry can you actually make a creditable conversion kit with dogshit? So far the only creditable stuff has had laser scans used and that's from like proper injection molded stuff.

So...

>>96410220
You got a point, but there simply is no demand. Otherwise what you wanted would exist. But not enough people have any desire for it.

>>96410220
The only baneblade kit I have scan doesn't have an interior and is a fixed scan.

Fuck man your opening my eyes

fyi: the tranngram scan cartel monitor this general watching for leaks of their members scans. its in their best interest to guide people to buy from them and no one else.

>>96414922
You get better quality from games workshop for the same price; make scans then they hike up the price from free to 60 usd. I'm paying that if I go to ganes workshop atleast with games workshop I can get a refund

Anyone have Valhallan scans? The OGs? I hate the newer proxies.

>>96414970
What newer proxies?

>>96414955
You realize that any STL file, no matter the price, gives you the option to print as many as you want or need, compared to your single purchase from GW?

I have yet to see someone ask 60 for some scans, but i even think 20 for a single character model scan is too much, when most single character models on cults or MMF cost around 3-5.
And yet, if i really needed a very specific GW model, i would rather buy the scan instead of the plastic these days. But luckily, the market is so full of proxies that i do not see the need for anything "original" any longer.

>>96414995

Mortian Siege Guns are better for a proxy, they look better and different enough that they are a proxy not a recast.

Seen them in tournaments, then again i have seen a coke can as a ork proxy.

dear fa/tg/uys, what's a relatively easy way to get into 3d printing? I have an Artillery Genius printer lying around that I got as a gift and never used, but I've no idea on where to start and it's been collecting dust. I have no knowledge of how to work it and very rudimentary 3d modeling experience.
I think once I get a taste I might really get into it.

Printed 2 Castaferrum and 2 Ballistus dreads. I can fit 2 of either per plate and they come out in under 4 hours. The Castaferrum dreads I found also seem to be much larger than a normal dread.

>>96415142
Thats an FDM printer? Expect some troubleshooting. Resin is a different type of hassle, but has generally less technical, printer related, issues to deal with.

>>96415152
The Castaferrums look great. Just the right size, so they dont look too odd next to the old and classic dreads.

Made this lads but the mace snapped off. Printing another as we speak.
Abbey Class Grand Cruiser

>>96415553
Might want to interrupt that print to do something about the missing arms on the guard skeletons along the sides. Presumably the same problem on the other side.

>>96415662
Cheers bro. It's mirrored on the other side, yeah. I think its an issue wiht the file - Part renders darker, as if it's an inside edge. Had something similar happen before with cannons, who's barrels refused to print.

>>96331819
NTA anything

>>96415553
Here's my take on that guy trying to get the Chimera, Baneblade, and Leman Russ raw files:

1. If these modellers had any sense and used the same base model for different configurations, you should still be able to measure their fixes against the real-life model you presumably have.

2. But, if each scan is one-of-a-kind and every fix is different, then you're pretty much screwed.

Take a good look at the models and see if they’re unique. If they are, just forget it. At that point, it’s pretty clear these are just trash scans, which I’m starting to believe myself.

>>96416008
I used a solutionlesn salamander insert on a plastic chimera, and it did fit perfectly. So i believe his stuff is all you ever need.

>>96416008
I used solutionlesn leman russ to fit the plastic leman russ. It fit perfectly except for the front sponson. The stl had a solid front sponson while the real kit has just flat panels. I had to remove the guides for the panels so that the solid sponson would rest flat against the front

>>96416054
>>96416067
1. If they had any sense they would've used a single leman russ hull for their variants.
>Battle Tank, Vanquisher, Exterminator, Eradicator, Demolisher, Punisher, Executioner, Conqueror, Annihilator, Incinerator

And that's not even including..
>Destroyer Tank Hunter, Thunderer Siege Tank, Atlas Recovery Tank

If they did use a single hull then you at least have some standardization and makes it easier to work with if they didn't, don't bother as it's too complicated to work with 50x unique models with unique fixes.

>>96416100
How are these hulls even different to a degree that it matters?

>>96416100
He did use a single hull for all the "plastic" leman russes. And I disagree, I think he should have copied the turret and hull for each variant separately. As it is, the measurements are identical to the real kit, but the pieces can differ a bit in their details (very minor differences)

>>96416177
Games Workshop offers a single hull, with differences mainly in the cannons, weapons, and upgrade kits. Forge World, on the other hand, provided three separate kits, each adding additional resin parts to the Games Workshop hull. These kits also include different cannons, weapons, and additional upgrade options, though most of these Forge World kits are no longer available. The Mars Alpha is the only one still around, and it's essentially a parts kit for the Games Workshop hull, focusing on resin components and weapon options.

Let’s set aside the Forge World kits. If he didn’t start with the stock Leman Russ hull and turret as a base for standardization, then don’t bother. You’ll just end up with 7 variants of the same hull and turret, all differing only because he didn’t take the cannon and weapons and mount them on the scanned stock hull and turret.

it's just too much of a hassle and it shows the guys level of skill.

>>96416344
see >>96416252

>>96416508
Not that his leman russ is on cults3d

>>96416508
>>96416252
Guess it's worth asking then..
>Baneblade, Stormlord, Stormhammer, Shadowsword, Stormblade.

Did he use a standard template construction method or did he "fix" unique unholy heretical models?

>>96415152
I'm new to 3D printing, are those resin or FDM? They look amazing

>>96416968
Do you think he did the same for chimera and its variations as its basically backbone everything is on that chassis
