3D printing is pretty cool. Its awesome actually. Seeing something getting build from nothing in front of your eyes is cool. Noisy buy cool.
Another thing I find cool is that you can take the same design and resize it.
I am now printing this dwarven stone statue in double the size.
Unfortunately I made a blunder and forgot the proper support setting.
We shall see shortly when its finished.
Thats a thing thats slighgly annoying. Printing a 7cm tall dwarven stone statue takes roughly 3 hours.
Put in on before work, or buy A couple of printers :)
Are they generally okay to leave on unsupervised? Or does that run a lot of risk of printing issues happening while you are away?
I have found that they can be unsupervised for the most part. I love to set of a print and then come back 2 hours afterwards a d you have a new (or more) miniature to paint.
The quality of the prints look pretty good! Keep it up. I've never used a 3D printer, but have always been intrigued with them since they hit the market.
Its worth a shot and they are getting extremely cheap now. The one I have must be the cheapest on the market. Not to mention if you can get a hold on a second hand one....
