Only two people answered. The first said styrene. The second said polyethylene. I'm tending to think it's probably injection molded polyethylene.

Re: Index of 3D Printed Stl Files

I don't think the terrain is Polyethylene. The terrain seems too brittle to me to be PE. PE is more "bendy"; think Dogloo, that product is polyethylene. I think it is probably ABS, but not positive. LEGOs are made from ABS, but using molds with a very low surface finish.

If it were styrene, it would melt in contact with model cement, which I don't think it does. Polyethylene would not be able to be glued with Super Glue; I think terrain can be glued with Super Glue. Can anyone confirm. Acetone (ie - nail polish) would melt ABS. Has anyone tried acetone on a terrain piece?

One guy in the other thread mentioned yellowing snow (not yellow snow; that's different; don't eat it). I have had success whitening yellowed snow using Oxy Clean, Hydrogen Peroxide and sunlight.

Re: Index of 3D Printed Stl Files

I have some hexes that were glued together to make a large bridge, they were a friends tiles so I'm not sure what he used for the glue. I know the tiles are fairly brittle too, I stepped on one and it fractured along hard lines.

I use MEK to melt ABS to repair ABS on a vintage camper I'm restoring. I should try that to repair some broken tiles and see if it works. a little MEK to "soften" the ABS and then push the two sides together and let them set.

Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those.

Re: Index of 3D Printed Stl Files

As every single time I started any Heroscape related project, life got in the way again. This time the project I was working on was the Ticalla Jungle set, and it's the second time I have to stop work on this (same happened with medium and big outcrops).

I will be preparing a competitive examination and won't have any free time until summer, so I decided to share my ticalla files in their current unfinished status. I'd host the files to link them directly form here, but the leaves file is too big and it's only 1 out of 4.

Re: Index of 3D Printed Stl Files

Because we are going out of town, my family opened up Christmas Presents...Guess what I got. Well I haven't got it yet since it wasn't delivered in time but I got a cool picture of it.

My wife and son got me an Ender 3...Get ready for lots of questions.

Congrats japes. 3d printers are super fun but can have quite a few little problems pop up that will get you a bit irritated at times. Overall they are very fun tools for someone printing out components for tabletop game pieces.

Yay!


My Ender 3 probably won't arrive in time for Christmas either, but it's on its way. Looking forward to better resolution than my current printer.

Sweet.
One of the main things you need are settings for Cura.
Search around online.

Oh wow. So the Ender 3 has better resolution than what you are using now. Cool. I haven't had any issues with what you've sent me so far.

My biggest hope is that I can find some stand in models for the C3G common figures.

Re: Index of 3D Printed Stl Files

Just got an Ender 3 myself. Can't wait to try something simple like the lamp posts first. Then I'll advance to the big stuff like the glaciers. But, I was curious about the figures. There are some scans on here of figures, but when viewed in a model viewer they seem quite ... "blobby." Even though they are supposed to be high res scans, is that really what the figures look like without the paint?

The scans have been cleaned up taking the excess background and such out. Then wk has added a base. They can still be put in a slicer program and cleaned up more but that takes a good bit of time. Having just about every model in my collection I can say they are not as crisp as the originals but are a good start. The glaciers are actually much easier than you would think. Good luck to you in your 3d printing quest for the table top it is quite fun but more work than youd expect.
