I've to say I'm a complete beginner in the 3D printing world so I'm having a lot of issues with my Ender 3.

Thanks.
Welcome to Heroscapers!

The scale is 2540 on the Ender 3. (The models are all in inches, so 25.4 mm per inch * 100 for some reason.)

Most of the time I add my supports in CURA, so that would mean uploading the g-code which would be Ender 3 specific. Sometimes, for ease of removal, I'll make my own tree supports. If I do that, I'll try to add those files as well. I stopped uploading models with supports because TREX was just removing my supports anyways. I can't promise anything though--higher resolution models are higher priority right now.

3D printing can be daunting at first. If you are having issues, feel free to PM me or post here and I can help you work through them.

Thank you for your kind welcome!
I think most of the issues come from the cheap PLA I'm using. I'll probably buy a better one if I can't figure out what's happening.
Right now I'm following this advice: https://www.simplify3d.com/support/p...oubleshooting/
Anyway, has anyone tried printing with a 0.2mm nozzle?
Also, do you plan to add the AOTP models?

I've only used a .4mm nozzle.


We'll see about the AOTP figures. I have all of them, but I'd like to finish the classic and C3V figures first. Are there any that you really want models for?

Re: Index of Classic Heroscape .stl files

I’ve used a 2mm nozzle. Longer print, better detail, easier to clog. Nothing different otherwise

Well, sincerely, here in Europe we only got the ROTV set and if you were lucky enough, not my case, the first wave. As importing the rest costs an arm and a leg, I need almost all of them so, no need to hurry.

So, not worth the effort? When could you use it?

So miniatures look better with a .2mm nozzle?

Ive heard you can get better quality. My brother has nozzles of all sizes. It does take longer and you may have to tweak settings and such. On a side note, I google searched how to take better pictures of minis and found some cool links to Amazon for a lighted box for very cheap. Instead of making my own I just picked this one up. Im going to 3d print a turntable and place it inside to photograph my painted minis and also to take pictures to make stls. Hope you fellas can utilize this link.

I found this interesting video about the topic:

It comes with a new profile too!

Re: Index of Classic Heroscape .stl files

I have a little down time at work so I've been seeing what various 3D printing sites can do with some of the files. It's interesting but also seems many of them can't handle either the size of the miniatures or the way they are supported. Shapeways just can't print anything smaller than Gurei-Oni it seems. I did laugh at them when they told me the Fen Hydra would only be able to be done in metal like bronze, brass, etc. Again this was more of an experiment, I will be getting my own 3D printer in the future.

C3V and SoV! Fanscape r0xxorz!!

Depends on the stl, really. Garbage in, garbage out in some cases. But I was having a problem with a Han Solo I made. The gun walls were too thin, and Cura wouldn’t even slice them properly. Had to use the nozzle for that. And if you get a really high detail stl and you want to see each individual chain link in the armor or something along those lines, the .2mm would be able to print all of the finer details. It probably wouldn’t make much difference printing Benchy or something basic like that.

@Guillermo-Tell I think that answers your question too

Re: Index of Classic Heroscape .stl files

@whiteknight , do you think that light box I purchased and linked above would work well for photographing minis for stls? I'm supposed to get it tomorrow. I'm going to see about getting or making a turntable to sit in the bottom, and I'll be setting my camera, or phone up next to it on a tripod. I did this also for photographing the 1000+ miniatures I've painted that I have at my house.

It should work. It uses LEDs similar to mine, and the backdrop looks brighter than mine which will help with overall lighting.

Some notes:
- The LEDs will cause shiny spots. You'll want to use the matte spray to get the best results.

- I've heard you can get good scans of a mini without any background (see here), but I've never tried it and don't know if it will work with 3DF Zephyr

- Otherwise, your turntable will need a print on it to give the photogrammetry program background references. Mine needed walls so that the figure is entirely within the background.
