Numinous posted:Anyone have recommendations for walls that are more outdoorsy - like shrubs and vine mixed together to make walls with a tree every now and then? I've got more caves, dungeons, and stonework than I can shake a stick at. How long did it take you to make that? It looks awesome but I don't know if I want to commit

Numinous posted:I also have a good $500 worth of plastic of 3d printed openforge 2.0 stuff and the hirst arts stuff is about on par from a time perspective. Casting is fairly easy and you can pump out walls and tiles pretty fast. Gluing up the wall pieces was fun but it takes some time. Painting is about the same as the 3d printed stuff. I would say about 40 hours for the full kit as laid out in the link. I absolutely LOVE the weight and detail in the casted pieces. Far superior to 3d printed IMO. That's not bad time-wise. I have most of the terrain printed and painted, but not the board components themselves. I've also been sourcing minis to replace the standins but haven't gotten very far with it. I just started a new playthrough with a new group though so this would be a good time to up my own game.

Numinous posted:If you're interested, this is the source I used for a lot of my choices of miniature: Yeah I have an ender 3, which has been fine for terrain but I was never happy with the output from it for minis. I got the blacklist fantasy series 1 minis intending to use some of them as stand-ins, but that hasn't actually ever arrived. Hopefully QML posts another update about shipping on it soon and I actually can get my hands on it.

That's an amazing scenario. Pretty wild that it worked at all indeed - I wonder if the only thing that wanted the higher voltage was the screen, such that you were essentially running it at much less than 100% brightness as another goon suggested.

Randalor posted:Yeah, she wipes it down before every print. She didn't have adhesion problems when she first got it but was making smaller projects with a raft (Christmas ornaments with lots of things pieces) but she hadn't used it for a few months and now that she started using it again, has been having problems with getting larger prints like trays curling up on the corners, even with a brim. Curling on large flat surfaces could also be draft related, if the room is at all drafty.

bbcisdabomb posted:An enclosure couldn't hurt, and by enclosure I mean sticking a cardboard box over the whole thing while it prints to make sure drafts aren't the problem. Yeah this - Try just putting a giant cardboard box over it to start. If that helps notably, then you can think about implementing some kind of enclosure that's less of a fire hazard.

Roller Coast Guard posted:I do not have a 3d printer, haven't got the space, time or finances for a 3d printer, and know nothing about 3d printing. If you're asking this because you might want something printed, it's trivially easy to resize something with one caveat: It might not print as well at the new size, particularly if you're shrinking it down a lot. Also if you want to scale it up a lot, you might not be able to fit it on the print bed. That's for most FDM prints at least. For resin it might require reworking the supports, which could be a pain in the rear end.

Lumpy posted:I can barely get the .1mm feeler gauge in there, and I scrubbed the plate with Isopropyl, but I shall do soap as well. Stupid question about the temperature test: how do I do that? I ordered PLA, but I will double check. Thanks for the suggestion so far. The feeler gauge is good for getting "in the ballpark" it after that you need to eyeball it based on how the layer looks. That corner could be a smidge closer to the bed.

Southern Heel posted:Country to popular wisdom, I have reduced the heat on my elegoo brand PLA from 220 to 205 and reduced speed from 250mm to 200mm and I’m getting way less of the fluffy tufts between projections. I'm not sure where you're getting your popular wisdom, but printing cooler and slowing down a bit should help with stringing ("fluffy tufts between projections" sounds like stringing to me). Basically what you've done falls 100% in line with conventional wisdom. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by the second point, but my guess it you're printing something with a limited number of thin, taller sections. There's a common problem that happens when printing items like this where the time spent printing each layer is very quick, and so the next layer gets laid down before the previous layer has had time to cool. This results in very sloppy looking towers. You can increase the "minimum layer time" in pretty much every slicer (although it may be called something slightly different) which will result in g-code that slows down more when printing such things. Also, often simply printing an extra copy or two of the part results in a sufficiently long layer time to resolve the issue, which is what it sounds like you've discovered.

Southern Heel posted:The 2nd point was more that I ended up with piles of birds nest filament - presumably one print was clashing with the next? It was printing one whole object at a time and then moving to the next, rather than all together. Ooooooh, yeah I've never enabled that feature. It can work if the parts are arranged on the bed such that the print head/gantry won't hit previously printed items, but I imagine it's a fairly specialized scenario.

Lumpy posted:I definitely notice more... texture? when using PLA+. I'll definitely be switching back to regular old PLA after this batch runs out. Then again, maybe PLA+ has some benefit I'm not seeing because I'm not doing something right. When I switched from the PLA I was using to a new PLA+, it took me a while to dial in the right settings. I had a ton of stringing and generally lovely looking prints at first, but after playing around with some different temps and retraction settings, I got nice clean prints again.

Ominous Jazz posted:I was job hunting and while I didn't find a job a guy is trying to sell me a Creatily Ender 3 Pro for five bucks. I can probably make some neat terrain or something, right? I wouldn't expect it to work right for $5, but I have two of them that I use to print terrain (among other things) and they work great. You might have to put a lot of time into tuning it, which could be as involved as partially disassembling/reassembling it and replacing parts. For $5, it's not much of a gamble.

The Eyes Have It posted:It sure looks like it! Instead of putting logos or photos on a plate full of golf balls or pens or cell phone cases, it's "painting" a terrain sheet. Pretty loving clever! These are pretty cool. For hanging them, something low tech like blutac or even just double sided tape would work, no?
