What works wonderfully is Teflon coated tips. They are hard to find but i have a couple and they have wide flats to them. Works wonders to smooth out support marks

Usually for my minis I use the tree support (found under experimental section). Is really useful, you have less point attached to the minis and they are more simply detach from the support. Give it a try! :D

A hair dryer works too if you don't have a heat gun. Got to be careful though once the plastic starts to get soft it gets soft quick and you might melt other parts of the model you don't mean to, especially with these small pieces. S3D also has a nice feature called dense support layers, they usually make removing supports a little easier. Speaking of supports, you should also do a support test, there are a bunch of them on thingiverse. My CR10 can print fine up to about 70 degrees. Knowing that you can adjust your support threshold in the slicer so it does not create unneeded supports in the first place! Default slicing settings usually have the support angle at something like 45 degrees which is pretty high. Thanks for the video, good info.

Great video! What is the benefit of printing your figure at an angle as opposed to 90 degrees?

I use the roof settings and I have a nut pick the after getting off bits of support I use the pick one the edge of the roof an it usually pops off fairly easily.

I am using a 25€ wood burning (pyrography?) kit from amazon, the good thing is that you can control the temperature and it has different tips. I am basically cutting through the support limbs like butter with a small pointy thing and you can also smooth some ugly parts of the prints, I really like the investment. I did not have any luck with minatures otherwise, I always ripped off arms or ripped them off the base plate.

Try Support Roof. Makes it easyer to See the end of the Support and the print surface is Most of the time even better. And its easyer to remove

It's one of the tests I'm gonna be running to improve the profile, but I need to do some tweaking to get it where I want it, Dante. Thank you for your suggestion!

Have you reviewed the newer versions of Cura (5.0 etc) to determine if any developments to the slicer warrant any changes to the support settings? I'm finding the supports to be very strong - and thus difficult to remove - and wondering if there may be a better way with the newer versions? I have also tried SuperSlicer and while it works the support settings don't exactly match so making support edits in SS is a new challenge.

with miniatures that have small feet, i tend to cut the base so i can reach easier under the mini like say a character with a skirt or a tasset, and after i am done i just glue it back with the strongest non corrosove stuff i have. a friend of mine showed me something he calls "pegging" he does it to warhammer miniatures that break, basically drills with the smallest dremel head and puts little wire in the holes, so they act as pegs and then glues.

@3DPrintedTabletop

I usually split a model from it's base if I had that intent so I don't have to reglue. Angling the mini at 45 degrees helps too - it's why I did it in this case. Yup, I'll go over "pegging" in some episodes - it really helps with the strength provided the part is big enough to fit a paperclip (since I have only done DIY pegs to this point) in.

@3DPrintedTabletop

Hey, great question! I can share a few reasons: 1) Dimensional accuracy is a common challenge with all 3D printers. It requires very specific calibration, that sometimes involves flashing firmware and doing other things that, in my opinion, are a challenge and time consuming for the everyday hobbyist. A 0.1mm difference for a part that needs to be keyed in can make all the difference, requiring cutting/filing, etc. - and when you consider you STILL need to glue in, fill gaps, etc. - it can add a lot of steps. 2) One of the benefits to 3D printing, again in my opinion, is avoiding assembly. Sure you have some clean-up - but you have to do cleanup on molded kits too (mold line removal, sanding down flash, filling gaps, etc.) It's surprisingly similar in that way - except you usually don't have to glue once you start getting the hang of support removal and get better at avoiding breaks in weak points. 3) Even if you split a print in multiple little parts, they'll probably be floating as well and some parts of them will probably still require supports. Same issues can exist in that case too :) I've done both - like a space marine I printed, and I prefer a model posed in a very different ways to be printed out vs. separate parts to then be glued, etc. I hope that helps answer your question! :)

A little off subject but I was wondering if you've ever tried to print Miguel's Twig Blight model? I cant seem to get it to come out well without the print failing halfway through, with Cura OR S3D. Any tips? Love the videos btw super helpful, keep up the good work!

Hi Rick! I think an Ender 3 is a really great starter printer. It isn't perfect, but you can't beat it for the price. It can do a lot more than miniatures as well for your D&D games. It's a great starter printer because of it's price more than anything. That is about as entry level, for a relatively safe and easy to assemble, 3D printer you can get. Let me know if you have e any questions - and stay tuned for my full review of the printer :)

Tree supports can greatly decrease build time, cleanup difficulty and time, and material usage. I'd suggest using the free software Autodesk Meshmixer to create them; you can even manually add branches (with a click of a button) if the automated method looks poorly supported.

do you have a video on cleaning up the model itself yea you got the supports out but the model is still so ugly because of the layer lines and overhang effects ect models are so small and hard to get sanded down and i cant figure out how to word it to find a video on cleaning up these super tiny but very detailed models

Something I have found that works absolute wonders is using a hot knife much like a wood burner, if you can’t afford that an exacto style razor knife heated over a flame also works great to slice thru supports like butter to break them down... also passing the heated blade near a wisp of filament will just shrink it gone easily. Please DO NOT inhale the fumes from melting plastic, who knows we may need those precious brain cells for later!

Just wondering if you have tried a smaller nozzle? I saw another KZread vid that said going to .2was slower but way better quality...

What speed, infil, and layer height do you print terrains at?

So I noticed that you printed this mini at an angle and not just straight up and down. I know that by getting the angles right you can actually reduce the need for supports, but in my experience so far with my printer (only had it for a couple weeks) that when I print minis at an angle it tends to lose quality. I get increased stringing and over/under extrusion when printing at an angle. Any tips for that or when it is better to print at an angle?

Wow, destroyed my first miniature. The support was much tougher than I expected.

Any news on a dual extrusion mod in the works for the Ender 3? PVA support with the high detail settings would be incredible.

@3DPrintedTabletop

6 жыл бұрын

I have no news on this, but if someone made a dual extrusion mod I'm pretty sure it'd be a homebrewed solution that required a bit more tech savviness than I have right now :) You're right though - I'm eager to try dual extrusion on these minis to try water soluble supports. That would be simply incredible TBH.

Another great video, I have a few questions, not sure if I missed it or if it has been asked. How do you decide whether to print your minis base flat on the bed, or tipped back at an angle? If tipped what angle? The few that ive printed are base flat and their swords are coming out jagged (maybe because im a noob at this lol)

@3DPrintedTabletop

I look at the geometry of the model. If they've got a weapon angled the same as the cape for example, I'll angle them so the weapon and cape are facing up so no need for supports except at the bottom. Does that make sense? I consider all of the parts of the model. I normally prefer standing because of the way the layers look. Just personal preference. Hope that helps!

i'm not sure but in his printing cost video he says in the comments that it doesn't increase the cost by that much since apparently 3d printers don't use up to much electricity like 100 watts extra per month using it frequently he said, at most it probably only adds like $0.05 cents every 5 hours but i cant say for certain and depends on where you live,who you get your power from ect.

Brightborn hit the nail on the head! It would amount to a few cents. The 100w number comes from my friend Kevin Rank of MakerFun3D who ran a test on his own CR10, and is assuming you ran it for 20 hours per day through the month.its neglible in the end, would probably be just a few cents more to be honest (assuming you're in the US). Hope that answers your question!

That's why I started the channel, no need to apologize! Thanks for being here :) Let me know if you have any other questions!

Dude i am from greece i bought from HeroForge a mini with 10$ (STL File) and the guy who i went to print it, told me 15€ and you say 10 cents!!! is that legit? The time he will make to print my mini is 1:30 hour instead of 3:30 that you say in your video.

Hi there! I can't speak for vendors - but yes, it is 10 cents in material if you print it in PLA (assuming a cost of about $20/1kg roll). If you print it in resin, the cost is $0.50-2.00/mini (assuming $70/1L of resin). The time to print the mini depends on the profile and level of detail you print it in - and all depends on what kind of printer they're using. I believe HeroForge will send you an actual mini starting around $25 as well, but I haven't looked at their prices in a long time to be honest. Good luck, thanks for your comment!

I am currently printing a hero forge mini for a friend from work, Cura is saying it's 7g of material at 16.99 for the spool. That puts the mini around .12$ USD. Maybe a 3.12 after time to remove supports. Printing on a CR-10 using the profile that Danny has on his website.

@@wachuwamekil5885 You're right - it is a bit more than the $0.10. Lately I've been buying Dikale at about $11/kg - but that isn't normal pricing, that's the sale price. That is my bad. Support removal will definitely bring the price up and wasn't something I factored into final cost from vendor as I mention in my pricing video. Thanks for the comment, @Wachuwamekil!

Did you try to use a meshmixer supports ?, they are easy to take out , im printing my tatbetop figs, and normal figs like 17 cm ones, and all supports im generates there kzread.info/dash/bejne/k3qI27aPY9rdo6g.html

Hi there :) The purpose of the video was to show how to remove difficult supports for folks who want to use auto-generared supports in slicers like Cura. If I used easier to remove supports I wouldn't be helping the folks who went this way :) I'll probably run some tests though and see if I can get the quality to be the same - and if it's easier, and as consistent, I'll share it here! Thanks for the comment! :)

I get it , and still it is a great vid, im watching all your wids, but few months ago i did discover this program and it changed my printing life, supports are going of easy and prints look really nice with it. Check it when you get some time.
