Olaf the Stout Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I believe they’ve released a smaller version as well, but that may only be for their Patreon subscribers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 They included a filament version as well, but not like I'm gonna print it on that format for now. I just re-sized & re-supported. I ended up getting 2 onto my plate. Those will work, They'll be handy as I'm currently using a camp fire that I decided I'm not going to use but primed it up as a tester piece for Speedpaints. Starting to run out of texture, ha ha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnwulf Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 CMM makes some great terrain stuff and some really fun rollers. Been a while since I've picked up any of their stuff though, several of the earlier ones had, let's just say excessive ammounts of geometry. Or to put it another way, a smooth handle for a clay roller should not be a 5 gb file. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some automated tools just keep reiterating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaganMegan Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Grump, using Megan's tablet - on purpose this time. Elegoo has the Saturn 8K printers for $333 US. The Saturn 2s are $380. We have been VERY happy with our Saturn 2 - it is a workhorse. The Auld Grump 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haldir Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Anyone know of a service on the web that'll make a stl placard? Like give them what you want printed & they send back the stl file for you to print on your printer. I have an idea churning in my head. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zemjw Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 You could investigate fiverr (not a typo). I have seen people send minis to folk there to be painted, and I'm pretty sure there are 3d designers on there as well. Note - I have never explored the service, so other than being aware of it, and its claim of connecting people to freelancers who can provide a service, I have no opinion on it. I suspect, however, that there will be good people and bad people on it. I have wondered about seeing if it's a way to provide some retirement income (rapidly approaching), but, like I said, I haven't explored further than that wondering etsy is another thought, although that mostly seems to be printing services, rather than designing ones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haldir Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Pretty cool, working with a designer from Pakistan. Pretty simple request, credit card size placard with a couple of words on it. If I can get the entry done in time, it'll go with my ReaperCon entry this year. Nothing groundbreaking, just something I want to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing groundbreaking, just something I want to do. Item (file) received this morning. I'm pretty satisfied with the object. In the process of printing it now. A tad bit more then I was expecting, but it was custom work & I totally understand the whole "oooooh you can do that, how much? Really? Can you do it for less?" sorta thinking out there. I have what I wanted to get, so I say mission accomplished! Now to work on that mini that goes with it, ha ha. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmaster2000 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 So need some advice from the Hive Mind:) I am been reluctant about printing out hollowed models because of the whole issue about curing the inside. so, i'll probably have to make bigger drain holes, but I have a way to get a 395nm UV light pen. My question is, will this be enough to cure resin properly? I know Elegoo is 405nm, but I have heard curing resin is a range from 350? to 410nm. So my question is, will this work for curing hollowed models? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neatpete Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 What is the issue of the resin isn’t fully cured on the inside? Assuming it’s drained and cleaned well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmaster2000 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Theres just no way to be sure that all the resin is drained and cleaned. And even the wash and cure stations cannot get all the way into the cavities. That's why you need to cure the inside, otherwise the resin will eventually swell and crack (at least that's the way I understand it) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitterwolf Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I always dunk my prints in methylated alcohol and then in warm water. Usually that takes out all the excess resin that's left. Then cure the print. I've never had one that cracked that bad or exploded... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
