They have an Idian Mythology Vibe to them. I really like Bestarium so far. I think I will stick with them next month as their style is right up my alley. They also have a bunch of stuff on MMF that I want to get (you get 40-50% off when a patron) I would say this is my first fully successful 3d print.

I reduced my layer height to .04 and reduced my lift speed but I think the biggest thing was getting the exposure time dialed in (started at 8-8.5 sec/layer and went down to 6 sec). This is the exposure test I used (just a pic not a link). You can find it on MMF under exposure validation. Then there are a bunch of YT videos on how to read the print and dial in exposure. There are probably better ones but this one is free and only takes about 10 minutes to print so you can dial in fast. Only needs washed not cured. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On my Photon I was able to get the infinity symbol perfect, but some of the finer rays were mushy. I am assuming it is because my screen is stating to fail.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Talae 38444 Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Hmmm. I backed Archvillain Games. Epic and Artisan Guild are tempting as well, but I should probably spend time going through what I already own before messing with new stuff too much. Bestiarum looks good too, but I don't know that many of those would see use in my games anytime soon. I am intrigued at printing out some busts, though. That is one aspect of the hobby that I haven't gotten into and printing them seems like a good idea. Any favorite sources of busts for resin printers? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I focused mostly on the infinity symbol and getting the middle section of the bottom printed as crisp as possible. But the bottom array did get pretty mushy towards the sides 25 minutes ago, Talae said: Hmmm. I backed Archvillain Games.

They both have Patreons and MMF. Couple examples from Fotis Mint (only $5 to get access to all his past 80+ files): (After posting these I may back just to get these two although they have tons of great stuff. I love the Bill the Butcher bust.) Eastman catalog Edited February 20 by NecroMancer 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ratmaster2000 7999 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Wait??? Do you actually get all those busts as a welcome kit for joining their patreon????? Ah man, next month is gonna be expensive:( 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glitterwolf 207946 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 (edited) Joined Bestiarum for now. BUSTS.. On Thingiverse / Gumroad and 3D Cults you can get loads of them for Free. Edited February 21 by Glitterwolf 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Talae 38444 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 I am curious. Do most of you that back a Patreon drop and add each month? I ask because I backed Archvillain for February, but have no need for the Skaven stuff of March. Is it better to hold out a month or to shift those funds to another Patreon to try out? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have stuck with a patreon for a while and had one other on the side that I took, dropped, took another, dropped etc. Now I have dropped that one as well and took new ones. It all depends on: Do you want the current theme? If you don't do you want to stick around for a loyalty mini or certain cross promos? If you don't do you feel like supporting the patreon and wait for a better theme? If you don't is the discount you get for the store enough to stok up on good stuff? In the end it's money, so if you feel like dropping one, go ahead and take another who has a theme that suits you ( and get a new welcome pack or throwback folder there as well most of the times) Loyalty incentives differ. Some patreons need you to stick around for 3 months in a row others don't. I know that Heroes Infinite will give you loyalty mini for 3 and 6 months, those do NOT have to be in a row, so you can drop, come back etc.. Others like Claycyanide only give that if you reach the 3 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glitterwolf 207946 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Dragon Trapper's added another cross over promo. This time from Whitewerewolf Tavern. EPIC added Japanese/Chinese inspired miniatures. If I don't rejoin, I might pick up a few of these later. And Bestarium has a cross promo from Dragon Trappers this month.
