This video is over two years old, and when it comes to technology a two year old video is pretty irrelevant.
My current view is that FDM printers still a pretty unsatisfactory print. I don't really like them. I DO really love what resin printers are doing for a pretty reasonable price. I will be getting a Photon at some point when I actually have some time to use it.
Resin for terrain is still very expensive. But minis great.
Buy an ENDER 3
Every technology has its place in the world. FDM gives you a wide variety of materials to experiment with, are really cheap to acquire, run, and maintain, and handily beat SLA/DLP machines for build area. Layer lines can be pretty pronounced compared to resin, but it wins out in terms of safety, durability, and size. It hits a sweet spot for shapes too intricate to efficiently model by hand, but where fine detail and surface finish are not as important. Most open source slicers also have a vase mode that let you crank out a minimally thick wall in one pass, which makes it excellent for molds and scaffolds.
If you want to get a better finish, albeit at the cost of build speed and part durability, you can get an airbrush nozzle adapter and decrease the layer height accordingly - still won’t compare to photopolymer resin, but it’ll practically disappear under a generous coat of filler/primer.
Just food for thought.
man i have a super cheap ender 3 that's just amazing. You must have not looked very hard if you think FDM does not have quality, its way beyond anything I've seen crafted and still very cheap.
@@everlett1122 FDM prints always look like prints. I don't like the look.
I've done traditional crafting for a while and just recently started with 3d printing. One of the things that I really like about 3d printing is the ability to scale. If you have a model that you like that you need in another size, it's super easy to adjust the model and print it out. My players are about to spend a lot of time interacting with giants so I'm taking a bunch of the furniture models sold by Fat Dragon Games and scaling them up 300-400% to use in areas occupied by giants.
Yea, that is an awesome thing about 3d printing
Scaling works wonders for PC figures. Is there fitting model but in 10mm scale instead of 28mm? Just make it larger.
It also makes finding halfling models easy. I just find models that fit their character and print it on 50% height.
As an alternative to printing I bought the "Dungeon Saga: Furniture Pack" on Amazon. I don't have any of the Dungeon Saga games, but they fit perfectly into D&D, and paint up very nicely. Thanks for your work!
I got a printer this summer and I am loving it. I've printed more than I have had time to paint. One kind of thing I haven't yet done but will in the next year is start to design and print fiddly things that need to be precise and repeated, like window frames to set into foamcore buildings, or geometric Chinese building railings.
For pieces where you want to hide the printer lines, try coating with a layer of two part epoxy glue. On a piece like your sack of potatoes, you could leave the texture on the sack, but glue treat the potatoes so they don't show the lines. Then paint when it is dry. Modge Podge or other glues that keep a bit of thickness when dry might also do the job.
Your Sinister Chapel is very reminiscent of one of the first big things I printed, the church from Printable Scenery. The church showed one of the key limitations of printed stuff. Small cross section details like roofline spikes tend to be brittle and not too strong. Your wooden spikes should be more durable than the spikes and tiny crosses on mine.
Any suggestion on what printer to buy? Getting one right after I move to FL in about 4 months.
i have a couple of suggestions. i own three printers.
I got a Flashforge Creator Pro. It has been a good experience, BUT... The dual head is heavy and given the way it is mounted it is prone to "ringing", vibrating as it comes off of sharp turns that leaves a wavy pattern in the skin of the print. This can be reduced by printing slower which I have done and various adjustments and mods to the belts and rails or removing the second printhead which I have not tried. I would go for a Prusa i3 mark 2 if I was buying now given what I have seen since. But while I have not made much use of the second nozzle so far, I recently got some PVA melt away support filament, and will start making real use of the second nozzle soon. I hope that works out well. It would make that part more worthwhile.
everything greased up good? how bad is the vibration? Is it jittery when making certain movements?
Ed Allen a friend of mine got a vapor finishing chamber for his 3d printing, he swears by it. supposedly it eliminates the lines and gives you a smooth finish without killing the detail.
At this point... you need a 3D printer. It will make a lot of stuff for you and save a lot of money.
$200 printer plus $15 a kilo for "filament" Gets you a lot of stuff per kilo. An average figure is less than 20 grams.
Print barrels and carts and wagons and horses and chests and bookcases and doors and windows and....
Don't print dungeon tiles. Print stuff you put on the tiles.
Thank you, i got a 3d printer and do not know what to do
Great review. I don't know if I will do 3d printing myself either, however, I am glad you gave information on a way to get it printed in the case of something you want done.
thanks, I think it is just a matter of time before I get one, but until then I'm glad there is a good option to get ahold of some cool designs without owning one.
A lot of major cities’ libraries have 3D printers in them these days. Nice way to see if it’s something that you want to delve into further.
Great video! Very interesting that you found a way to get things printed like you did.
I agree with you about crafting versus printing. I think that crafters have to be super creative, take various stabs at making things on our own, and we generally know what the craft store has from top to bottom! Printing is super neat but a part of the point of crafting is that you can make some really cool stuff for almost nothing. Plus, building is...fun!
Barrels that I've found: look in the craft wood section at Hobby Lobby by a company called Woodpile Fun. They're 7/8", unfinished, and work pretty well with the 25mm/O Gauge scale we tend to use in D&D. Easy to paint of course.
You should revisit this video. I picked up a sub $200 Ender 3 and I love it. You can print out a monster (the whole Monster Manual is out there) or NPC or whatever as you need them for your game. As for cost per print most of the larger things you print are mostly hollow and for under $15 you get a roll of filiment that lasts a long time. I do a lot of simple minis and scatter terrain like you show here. You can even print up the dungeon tiles and customize them however you need in various free programs.
I have a 3D printer and love it. Some files print with noticeable lines and others not so much. It really depends on what you print and the the way you print it. I still craft but I've been incorporating 3d printed stuff as well.
Thanks for the video, I've not heard of this company before.
Yea, I think if you have a printer combining it with crafting can create some amazing results.
Holy fuck dude, this is a game changer for me.
I was thinking about investing in a printer this year, and this sold it for me. 3dhubs is amazing.
For me at least, I find sculpting fine detail on small objects to be quite fun, and the grind of pumping out an army of huts and hovels and shops and smithies is what makes me groan. I would print out a series of houses and buildings you'd need a lot of so that it would be much quicker to put together, say, a busy market in a densely populated urban environment, where you need 14 houses, 3 shops, a smith, a stables, a tavern, and an inn and 11 vendor shacks. But that's me, and I'm a weirdo lol. I just feel like making a small variety of repeated basic structures, that were also playable, would be perfect for a 3D printer because you can get the measurements spot on without having to measure things over and over.
I've been wanting a 3D printer since I first heard of them, but I really want the filament and the printers to come down in price before I consider investing. Also, a way to melt down and reform the filament or otherwise recycle it would really be a big improvement on the technology for me.
I ordered a 3D printed chest-and-skull-pile, threw a little hot glue, brushed it with some pva, used glitter for coins spilling out, and I'm super happy with it, it looks great. So the finished products are definitely where I'd like it to be, just man, that initial investment is a huge psychological hurdle, and then of course going crazy once you have it figured out and burning through all your filament is another concern.
Love the vids man!
There are many places who can print these for you as well. I myself have came to the conclusion, it helps support my hobby to print things for people and help cover my costs. I've been looking into these for a friend up the highway who's getting more and more into D&D.
I mean its an interesting take, I love my 3d printed stuff, but somethings I will try to do by hand. 3d printing is insanely cheap, plus its time im not spending crafting while it prints. The modge-podge and black you use is AMAZING for this. It smooths the lines out completelyand makes SUCH a good texture. I highly reccomend.
This video is a few years old. The world of 3D printing is vastly different today.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Your videos are great man keep up the good work, you have taught me so much! I really respect your product
Depending on what materials are used in the printer you can do an acetone vapor bath and it will smooth out the print lines. What you do is get a glass jar with lid. Hot glue what you want smoothed onto the bottom of the lid. Poor some acetone in the jar. You don't need all that much, just enough to cover the bottom of the jar. Place the lid back on the jar and let sit for a few mins. Time will vary depending on the size of the piece you want smoothed, the size of the jar, how much acetone you have in the jar, the material the piece is made from. So it's best to do a test with a figure that is the same or same size and material and keep an eye on it. Also the closer to the acetone will effect the time of the smoothing bath.
I would love to have a 3D printer and go crazy on making props. I’ve been following your channel and the one tool that has definitely increased your output, creativity and quality consistency is the the hot wire table. That would be the first major investment I would make to take the terrain crafting hobby from a casual level to a more structured endeavor. I’ve seen you craft small items from XPS and add amazing detail in just a few minutes. I’m still not sure if I want to buy a hot wire table or build one, but that is the next tool on my list.
I am still getting by without a 3d printer. In fact these items are still the only 3d printed items I have in my collection. Could not get by without the hotwire table however. Both a hotwire table and a 3d printer would be super handy to have, but the hotwire table is a LOT cheaper of an investment even if you buy one, and it allows you to do a lot of stuff. Im still of the mind that 3d printers are a cool luxury while the hotwire table is a, not essential, but very very very useful tool that will open you up to being able to do many things you can't without. My advice is get a hotwire table whether you buy or build doesn't matter, but if you buy don't buy a cheap on, buy the proxxon. If you want to save some money then do so by building a nice one which will last unlike buying a cheap one which will break or not work well.
could you post some pics of more of those pieces after they have been painted? Id love to see it for inspiration.
I've spent $200 on a diy printer and it's worked amazingly.
the small chest can be either glued shut or glued open at various points to show the treasure inside and give some variation, just a thought.
I'm thinking of gluing it partially opened actually.
I had access to a 3d printer and fusion 360 for a week. My d&d board is a lot smaller scale than yours. This means making stuff like trees is hard for me. I used my opportunity and printer out 7 dice, 50 trees, a dice holder, 8 player indicators, and 10 monster indicators. It was at a ton of fun.
Nice solution by the companies designers to work with the print lines instead of fighting them.
Im not positive that was intentional, but I feel like it was.
As someone with an FDM printer, another cost is time. I've run off tavern tiles and walls with my printer and filling the bed with things to print can take 12-20 hours. And depending on your slicer and print settings etc. the quality can be variable. Not only that but post production is also a consideration as well and with FDM at least there is the issue of layer lines (lol, you just addressed layer lines as I finished this sentence). Personally, I think that SLA (resin based 3d printing) is best for say minis or very fine detail pieces that you could append to a build and FDM can deal with some larger pieces if you really tweak and or disguise the print lines but FDM is kinda costly (time dedicated to the learning curve, actual price etc.) and SLA is still stupid expensive in 2019!
The cost of entry to 3d printing has dropped a fair amount since this video was made. I just bought in around $250 for the printer and then filament is $30 a roll, any plans to buy in now and maybe do a new 3d print video?
IDK if anyone has mentioned this but for PLA plastics if you add a few coats of mod podge, I usually do 3, it will take out most of the print lines, or at the very least breaks them up. Also if you print in ABS, you can use acetone to melt the lines out, I cant speak for the outcome on this technique though, have only done pla with mod podge
Comments help videos get to the top of the you tube feed you say? Fascinating.
to make home 3d printing really worthwhile for the mass populous ... you basically need to get a kit and gradually upgrade/tweak to get all the speed/quality you can. also knowing how to do your own 3d work.. which for organic shapes is just as time consuming and skill based as hand crafting lol. If you do decide to make the leap, even as a causal hobbyist that does ANY sort of modelling, it will rock your world (just don't tell your friends or youll never get your own stuff done LOL ) I'm studying mech engineering so I've got the 3d design background behind me to help, I bought a cheap clone kit last year and love it. I'm working on modifying plans of an upgraded platform to build my 2nd ... and am waiting on a late kickstarter for a 3rd (which may never arrive.. but i still hold some hope LOL ). if you really want to get into it and open a whole new world of combining printed pieces with hand made/purchased stuff you can get in for $200-300 .. the learning curve is steep with a kit as your first, but can easily produce the same stuff that $2000 ready builts can
If you're looking for barrels, Hobby Lobby sells a pack of "7/8" Birch Mini Pickle Barrels" that are very close to the right scale. They're wooden and a pack of 9 only costs $1.99. They're a frickin' steal. They also sell packs of super cheap wooden blocks that could be easily painted to make crates or integrated into rubble piles. Check out their wood crafts section...some great cheap stuff there!
Yea, we don't have hobby lobby in canada....and the ones michaels sells I think are way too big for scale. I ended up getting a bunch 3d printed by a guy in my neighborhood for less than $1 each.
One thing the 4 cents only covers the cost of the plastic. It's not counting time and electricity. Printers use a lot of electricity to make heat for the table and the print head. Just something to think about for cost of printing things.
I own a Prusa MK2s and Love it, and Ive had prints you cant even see the lines, it all as to do with couple key factors, first how good a Printer you have and How well you have calibrated said printer (Layer hight etc) ... 2nd is the Slicer software you use, they are not all equal, trust me I tested this, 3rd is How good a Filament (The plastic it uses) and if you have kept it DRY !! .... now if you get another person to print them for you, it still applies if they know what there doing and have good equipment and Materials... Ive printed lots of full piece terrain for my Local Hobby shop, most of my person is a combination + lots of 3D printed Greebles.
Just stumbled across your channel and I'm hooked. You're tutorials are superb. Many thanks!
Glad you found it!
i have been taking your ideas and supplementing the use of a 3D printer for items I find hard to find (skulls/vials/other such items). Making it out of "left overs" seems best to work for keep cost to dirt cheap.
if they are printed in ABS plastic then you can do an acetone smoothing process to get rid of the print lines. It is what i do when design and print things like doors, chest, crates, etc etc.... just a suggestion :) i use a small glass inside of a metal coffee can with a plate on top of the can.. put acetone inside the coffee can and place the piece on top of the glass (which should be upside down in the can)... As a warning. Acetone should not be inhaled so do in an area with good air flow. Also a warning that you will get chemical burn if you stick your hand down in the can without protection. 1-2 minutes later pull the glass out and let stand for 30 minutes or so.
If I had a printer and was doing a lot of pieces I would definitely set up to do this, but don't know if it's worth it for the few pieces I now have.
i get you :) well, hopefully the information will help out another!!!
I'm a 3D printing guy all the way. I Built 4 semi-professional printers for different people and I own both FDM and SLA type of printers.
Actually, SLA is how I got into D&D. I always had my eye on D&D but thought it was an expensive hobby for which you need a lot of minis and other stuff. When I got an SLA printer, I printed some minis just for fun and painting and got thinking about D&D again - only to find out you don't really need anything except for a few dice to start with 😎
FDM is kind-of OK when printing stuff like the barrel or a wooden table but I print minis mostly with resin.
I don't agree with SunPower Guru about resin printing being nastly all the way around. You do need one or two containers with IPA (alcohol) to clean the minis, nitrile gloves and paper towels but that's about it. For curing you need a UV source or the sun. It's less messy than modeling with glass fiber and epoxy resin as far as I'm concerned.
Great vid and very useful info, thank you!
Thanks!
You could try making your own plaster cast of some of those and pump out as many castings as you like for farely cheap. Smooth-On sells all the resins for casting and mold making.
That's a good option for people who do casting already, but thats something else I haven't dipped my toes into yet.
just saw this pop back up on my feed... BMC - I think this is the first video I ever saw of yours... what an amazing year, eh? did you ever paint the rest of these minis? not sure if I ever saw a follow up...
I actually found some really neat solid wooden barrels at Hobby Lobby that work really well for D&D props.
I view it as a tool. Print prototypes for moulding multiples. Ornate one off pieces for big builds. printing is great for minis and larger figs. As of 2019 printers are similar in price to what laser printers were five years ago.
My local library has one and I'd been debating on and off about whether to go for it or not, as you gotta pay a yearly subscription to use their lab, but this video may have just made the decision for me. :)
that sounds like a cool option
that ornate chest looks pretty awesome :) im jealous!!!
C00L! I'm doing terrain crafting and adding my mega bloks pyrates, making a swamp terrain.
I make chests and crates. I then print the items that folks find and a card is given to the player with the 3D printed item that they take out of the chest on the board :)
One of the things with 3d printing is repeatable content, good example would be several common door frames, you can make them individually, but time spent on that could be better used making custom items, ie there would never be two of that item in the game.
I don't own a 3d printer, but as soon as those prices drop a little more, looking to get my hands on one.
Live stream from Hankerin and a new vid from BMC? Good Saturday morning.
:)
If you just download the piece ready from thingverse than print, it is time and money effective, no matter the size of the print.
But if you're going to draw it in your PC then print, you better be seeling that, because the time to draw these things is pretty long
They are wonderful!!
hey now they have some small 3d printers for around 200$
@@jeremiahbachmann3901 no there are some really good ones that make high quality products like the Ender 3d printer
@@jeremiahbachmann3901 Ender 3 is one of the best printers under $300. A few upgrades and you're printing some amazing models. Please research a subject before making an ignorant comment.
CYBR Mathias proud ender 3 owner, it kicks ass. Printer goes brrrrr
Interesting thought - would a coat of modpodge and black paint smooth over the print lines? Edit: oh wow, I didn't notice this was an older video. Folks probably won't see this :P
Pretty nice idea, even better for someone who has a 3D printer... but that initial cost for a printer is going to burn quite a bit.
Did the printer guy tells you how long it took to 3D print that barrel?
Depending on printer speed, it'll take you about 2-3 hours on an Elegoo Mars, the beauty of though is that you can easily print like 30 on the build plate at once
As always, this was awesome sir! Answered a ton of questions that i've had all at once. Any way to sweet talk you into showing us a before and after of the rest of those after you paint them?
Go like the black magic craft Facebook page, I can pretty much guarantee I'll post pics there once these are painted.
This has to be my 2nd favorite video you made. Thankyou
I have a 3d printer and it was definitely worth buying, although it's incredibly slow, and some parts take up to 9 hours.
Ender 3, usually 170-230 USD. That's not that expensive, especially since after you have one any given mini you want is just 14 cents.
Knowing that these days (since around januari this year) you can get damn good printers for around €180/$200 and filament for €13 you can make terrain props for less then €0,50 (many times even way less).
I work at a makerspace, thus i have free access to 3d printers. I play with my coworkers, so we're a dnd group of comprised of makers. 3d printed terrain is a pretty good option for our group!
This video is a few years old. The world of accessible 3d printing was very different back then.
Quick Note: example is Barrels .. he wants say 10 of them Well 4$+10 =14$ .. OR have the guy print it as a MOLD you can use Sculpy , so it cant be to complicated of a shape, Rocks, Barrels, Chests etc, the mold can be multiple parts .. you can go on to TINKERCAD and turn the STL in to a Negative space place it into the center of a BLOCK, then cut the block any way you like in to pieces. so instead of 4+10 you pay 4+1 and have 100+ Barrels if you like.
I like both crafting and 3D printing
best of both worlds
There's some areas I would still clean and sand. Also that wicker basket looks more like pottery to me.
Great vids and new sub here! One quick (hopefully helpful) critique: try to look INTO the lens, not just at the surface glass, and, most importantly, try not to stare at the LCD display on the side of the camera. Makes it look creepy and disconnected from the audience. Otherwise, love it!
Yea, It's something that I'm working on more, especially now that I have upgraded to a real camera and am filming more close up.
Great video as always!
thanks :)
Did you ever try to make a latex mold out of that barrel?
I groaned when I saw the title of this video thinking oh great another 3d print vid let me just beam up the stl file to my space ship laboratory and pump them out.
I hope you watched the vid and saw I'm in the same boat, and that there are ways to get this stuff for a reasonable price without owning a printer.
Black Magic Craft I did and I'm glad u didn't do a paid advert.
I think you should reconsider fdm we are printing with amazing results using a ender 3 pro which is $160 and some small upgrades less then $200 it’s all in the settings. I start a print before I leave for work and come home to say 9 floor tiles or 12 walls all of which look really good, as far as minis goes it’s photon all the way but for tables and benches and barrels all done on the ender and cost less then 10c each resin is still just a little costly compared which is why we print only minis in resin.
This video is several years old. Still not interested in the 3d printing hobby however.
Lol just thought id send that out there I just started 3D printing myself a couple months ago and haven’t stopped printing yet... anyway if you do decide to take another look check out 3D printed tabletop his setting more then made up my mind about doing it
Danny is a close friend of mine. I talk to him almost daily :)
The barrel is pretty up there in cost...craft store barrels are cheaper, but for less common things it's a posibility
I've always found the craft store barrels to be too big so I've avoided them. My cost in vid was a bit off, picked up my barrels today and it ended up being $11 for 13 of them, I think that's a great price.
Damn, Winnipeg? I was hoping you were in Ottawa so I could beg my way into joining your gaming table.
You can always file down the print lines if they do bother you
If I were to print each of the player's characters and a few baddies in one go, would there be a 4$ set up for each individual model, or just for the whole batch?
You'd have to check with whoever is doing the printing.
But yea, typically in any print situation 3D or 2d the set up is for each thing being printed. Setting up to print one model wouldn't set up printing of a different one, that doesn't make sense.
Black Magic Craft small models can have multiples printed in a single set up if the files are set up correctly. that could save some money depending on who you go through foe printing service.
Someone could 3D print molds for people to buy and use with for example air dry clay to make the small hard to make items like pots and furnitures 😎👍
In my opinion nothing will replace hand crafted terrain and other stuff, because that's the whole point of the hobby - to take a few ice cream sticks cut and glue them and feel that sense of accomplishment that you've made a dungeon table or a wardrobe from nothing.
Depends on what part of the hobby you like. Personally I like sculpting so I'd always keep doing it even if I had a printer, but I would love to have a printer to further improve my sculpts with certain pieces. And this is a good option for those wanting nice pieces but not interested in sculpting.
Well you could do what a lot of us do, buy a box of undead from GW (not that I think anyone should buy anything from GW) and use the heads to decorate your little builds, like that brazier.
everyone should have a 3d printer, take a look at the CR-10 and. Soooo affordable and easy these days. Just watch a lot of reviews and make sure the printer is reliable.
What's the layer line height? Looks like .2, which is good for terrain, but for something this small .1 to .04 looks better and resin looks best.
This video is like 3 years old. Nothing about it is currently relevant. Today all this stuff Id just print myself in resin instead of fdm.
Black Magic Craft Thanks I’m aware it’s an old video was just curious.
I've got a 3D printer. It's great to have at times lol. To print a single 2x2 wall tile yer looking at 3-4 hours! Worth it? Ehhhhh. Luckily I've come across your great vids, along with DM Scotty, and will return to crafting with foam and wood!
Yea, I really think it's better for little bits that are hard to craft, stuff like tiles I think I can make look better, faster, AND cheap!
Honestly there's some decent 3d printers for cheap. I bought my printrbot simple metal for 400 and the awesome part was it was a kit so I got to built it for myself :D. It's got a decent level of detail and omg my custom miniatures collection has gotten so big XD
Yea, I'm sure I will eventually get one myself, just not yet.
Oh wow you're in Winterpeg? Small world after all :)
I wonder about cost of getting a single barrel printed and then doing a mold and resin casting it.
probably a good option for those who do casting already.
the cost of the plastic on a fdm 3d printer is like 5-10 cents. But if your paying a printing company your prob getting scammed just buy a 200usd Ender 3 its amazing i have more buildings tiles and furniture for D&D than i can carry and now I am planning a castle!
I think it would be cool to have a variant on the treasure chest that is actually a mimic inside, so that as the GM when your players open the chest BAM, teeth
there are some $50 printers out there that you have to build yourself and they suck at first but if you use it to build better parts for the printer itself it becomes a very nice printer
This video is several years old and nothing I said is relevant anymore.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial didnt notice the date it was posted, lol
I own a 3d printer creality cr-10 although awesome it does take quite a bit of skill and knowledge and investment just FYI I bought my thru gearbest for about $389
Do d&d vids where you play with your group
That's not as good in reality as it sounds in concept.
I've tried this and you are right. Recording me and my group cracking bad jokes and looking things up in books does not make a good video.
It only works when done big budget with a professional crew and LOTS of editing.
have you looked at Nerdarchy's game play videos they are really fun to watch
+Black Magic Craft Critical Role begs to differ.
you can get 3d printer kits for about the same price as a hot wire foam cutter
good show
Small thing is hard to print, but some tools for hobby, like rollers for coblestone tiles/walls is cool
And you can print some models and make silicon mold of them.
With respect from Russia)
P.S. sorry for my english, it very bad(
I can't afford a printer, so good to know. Thanks.
the only services in my range are way too expensive. I asked one of them and they wanted to have 300euros for printing out 6x plastic dashboard for zombicide... the game itself costs around 100euros...
now i want a 3d printer
Me too!
There is a, there is a guy named Tim Holtz that makes a dye that is for. Houses. That you could use to make your village much faster, just get that dye make a big shot that's expensive, but it's a good investment for anything one make and make use that as a die. Just put it on the on a county map theme. And and put it through the big shot, it takes, it puts.the chipboard or whatever you want to use and there you go that's faster
you might want to look at the open forge project over on thingiverse.
I was taking a look actually. The fact that it's free is pretty cool.
I'm impressed. I'd actuarl rather use Wylok's 1.24 inch grid system, but...
Usually for a decent printer to print decent size you're looking at a minimum for $200 for the printer and then depending on how many different shades or filament material you want that can add anywhere from 20 to $100 there are free software in free downloads like tinkercad.com and thingiverse.com if you're just looking to add to your Arsenal of creating those are pretty much just the basics you need also if you can manage to buy trimmer line in bulk it usually is cheaper than buying nylon filament but you will have to dry it out before you use it if you're concerned with fine details but if you're just printing terrain like rocks and trees and bushes it should not matter if you dry it out
This video is over two years old, and when it comes to technology a two year old video is pretty irrelevant.
My current view is that FDM printers still a pretty unsatisfactory print. I don't really like them. I DO really love what resin printers are doing for a pretty reasonable price. I will be getting a Photon at some point when I actually have some time to use it.
whats a proxxon cost i got a 3d printer for 300 and it does amazing prints my model is ender 3
$125ish
HIGHLY doubt they have them in a library because some prints can take DAYS to finish.
Well….they do. Especially NOW, 5 years after this video was made.
The link to the STL files is dead :/ Anyone know where they went?
Google Hobgoblin 3D
This is a little late, however you should check out the Monoprice Select Mini on Amazon. 200 bucks and I've been printing terrain and dungeon dressing like crazy. I posted on DM Scotty's Facebook group, you should check it out
will do! cheers
You guys should really look into how cheap 3D printers are getting I've seen him as low as $189 for someone just getting into that hobby they are going to save thousands of dollars on Craft equipment
Great info :-)
glad you liked it :)
cool!
:)
It seems like if you did try & print a building, it might take the better part if a day. Then there's always the whole Murphy's Law principle. That just might hurt someone's very souls to have all that time & material go to waste like that.
Late to the party, not sure if this was said before. Many Libraries int he US now have 3D printers you can use for free
Of course you can see the print lines but you have to compare it with the details of your fingers. LOL. On the table nobody will look at them that close. I realise that when I took photoes of my own 3d prints which IMO look good but show a lot of lines when in the macro photo.
This video is super old and nothing about it is relevant to current day printing.
I get what you mean, but you can get a cheap DLP printer for 500$ these days, and FDM even cheaper. You're making it sound like a class-divide pay to win sorta deal, but It's just a tool. - And as with any tool you need money to buy it and the knowledge to use it. After that you need to sculpt your own stuff in 3d unless you only want to stick with other peoples printfiles. Basically It's an art in itself, just as casting a mold or learning how to use scrap materials efficiently for cosplay is an art.
