3d Printing Wargames Terrain with a FDM ( Filament ) Printer

Here I give a brief overview of how you can relatively cheaply and easily fill your wargames tables with great looking terrain!
What sort of printer you can use, quoting the option I have used for past 5+ years. What materials you need to print with.
And some examples of printed terrain from my collection, some unpainted and some painted, to give you an idea of what's possible.

My neighbour has a FDM printer. He prints RC plane bits and bobs. I think if I go this way, and I am seriously thinking of it, I am going to get a resin printer for figures and a FDM for terrain as you do.

Sounds like a plan my friend.

Do you know of a life expectancy for the biodegradable stuff when painted/varnished?

[@kapitihobbies9360]

Interesting question. I cant say anything for definite but I would imagine if kept dry and out of sunlight it would last indefinitely. Moisture is likely to beginning the degradation process as would UV in sunlight I would think. But painting and varnish should at least block the UV. Hope this helps?
