Reply To: What Are You Painting Now?

Cheers @seldon9, IIRC which may not be the case as I printed this ca. 10 months ago I went with general .3 mm with .2 in more sloped areas. You can still see quite pronounced printing texture on some parts even after hours of sanding I put into it (see the back of those weird hatches on the top).

As for AW files, well… those guys are pros and they surely have access to professional resin printers, all the files I bought from them (and I also went all in on their next KS which was only about .stls) are top quality, but both printing and assembly of printed models are challenging to say the least. Efreet is 20 parts (some variants within them), two of them too big for any hobby size SLA.

Now I’m thinking about printing Azure dragon which is 36 parts, at least 5 of them too big for my Elegoo and translucent canopy being a real challenge  (maybe I’ll vacuum-form it, old school…). So the bottom line is: models are top quality and very cool looking, but printing and assembling them are hobby in themselves.

 

EDIT:

Oh, and about being recommended for SLA, sure they come out best in this technology, but with my purchases I received both hollowed and solid files (for the biggest parts), and as you can see actually printed most of them on FDM.
