Index of 3D Scans of Figures

Thanks so much for the scans. I'm very happy with the way they are turning out!
Here's my first batch of prints, strutting their stuff on my printed lava sets. The painting won't win any awards but I'm learning how to get the colors and washes right. It's hard to clean the figures up without breaking fragile legs. arms, and weapons.
Spoiler Alert!


Repulsors actually came out pretty good. The intricate angles were tough but I think they'd look better if my wash was better

Spoiler Alert!


Shades turned out pretty good, too. My wash is still "off" and it's not really "shading" like it should
Spoiler Alert!


Zombies turned out greener than I intended but they'll do the job.

Spoiler Alert!


Spider legs were a major headache to get right. I think to do it again I'd buy/barter for a resin print.

Spoiler Alert!
 
Definitely recommend resin printing if you can find someone who has one.

But happy to see the scans are getting good use <3
 
Anycubic has their Photon on sale for $169 right now (+free shipping) if anybody wants to snag one like I just did!

Is there any interest in putting pre supported build plates of figures on here. Granted its not too big of a pain to do. Im no professional as far as supports go but am pretty good at it. Im making all my chitubox buildplates into stl files for my brother so he can slice them for his anycubic photon. No sense in us both doing the work. I fill the entire build plate up when possible. Some units are combined on a plate. Commons are generally put on a build plate with each other and uniques are put on a plate with each other. Sometimes Ill throw some extra common heroes on a build plate to fill a unique one. Ex. Fire elementals. I fit 9 on a plate but also threw a couple in with my kitbashed unique quasatch models. Scapedood your work is top notch. I cant remember what you said to do about the one fyorlag spider that is only a half spider?

I would be very interested in these if you have easy access to them! I just ordered a photon and am excited to get started. Any tips for anything?

Also, I am wondering if any of these models need to be scaled or anything or if they are good after download? I am using Chitubox currently but would switch if anyone has any recommendations for slicing software to use.

All of scapedoods models are the right size. I've ran into a couple very small issues on just a few of them but nothing that can't be easily fixed. I looked into loading up full build plates of models on here, but the load times it would take me to put them on here would be horrendously slow for me. My pointers for using chitubox for supports is using medium auto supports at 60% density with your models rotated roughly 15% backward. The reason for the slightly tilted models is so there is less suction force and smaller areas such as the heel of the foot rather than the whole foot to start at once creating less failures. I recommend a Youtuber called 3d Printing Pro. He does a great job describing islands and how to support models to make files without fails. I do use auto supports but also go in afterwards and manually place supports where I see that it missed them. It does that from time to time. If the area is particularly large, I'll even place a few heavy supports.

That is perfect. Thank you so much for your help. I’m excited to try it!
 
I recently switched from Chitubox's supports to PrusaSlicer's.

My process is as follows:

1. Setup PrusaSlicer, as an SL1 printer (it won't matter what's your printer).
2. Load model in PrusaSlicer.
3. Auto orient mini (repeat as many times as needed until it's oriented without supports in critical parts, like faces).
4. Auto support mini.
5. Export mini with supports.
6. Load supported mini in Chitubox.
7. Fix print file in Photo File Validator.

Repeat steps 2-7 for each mini. Since I've been doing this I've had no problems with my prints.
 
I’ve been printing a ton of stuff off on my new photon and can’t believe how great they are turning out. If anyone is hesitant to buy a printer, I can’t recommend it enough.
Spoiler Alert!


Thanks to all of the work that whiteknight and scapedood are doing, everyone should be able to get all of the heroscape they could ever want. The even better thing is that they can do it for a fraction of the price that things were selling for back when things were still being released.

Not sure what resin you are using but, I just switched over to siraya tech fast grey. Ive mixed it in with my mix of longer and anycubic resin that was in my vat to finish them off. Even with a mix of it, it has made the last handful of prints much more sturdy and less fragile. I highly recommend it. Ive printed hundreds of models. Hopefully you are filling your buildplate to the max to get more minis quickly. I also love the models and recommend resin printing to get as much scape as you want for a fraction of the price.

I’ve been getting as much as I think I can on the build plates. 3D printer pro on YouTube that you recommended has been a huge help. I’ll definitely check out that resin. I bought a 3 kg of the elegoo white resin and that’s what I’ve been using so far with no problems.
 
I use Siraya fast also--mostly the smoky gray color. The figures are definitely more durable than regular resin.

If you dont mind the color variation you can mix a smaller amount of siraya in with the other stuff and it will sturdy them up even then.

I love this stuff. If you can make those files available for those c3v figures, Ill help you do them all this weekend. I can handle them easily with my new best friend Meshmixer.

Allow me to try to help. I have made a mod with tokens and cards (they are different) for the army cards for all the C3V and SoV units. The rate limiting step has been getting models for figures, so this should go fast!

Sweet. Just tag me when you do and I'll get started. I'm just building build plates of figures to load onto the printer. I'm currently just printing out some that have been on the sd card for awhile to kill me enough time to get my new batches together.
 
@White Knight, what is the scale % needed to be at for the right scale?
Should we move this conversation over to the C3V 3d Proxies thread?
EDIT: I'm just finishing up Bramcephys
 
Not sure if all the raw scans are the same typically but I've resized up 600% to get to where the ones I've done look proper sized. As far as the ones WK has completed they need to be enlarged 2540% I believe.
