Hi everyone :) In my last blog post I wrote about some of the challenges of 3D printing, and the level of perseverance which can be required to get good prints. Today I thought I would show one of my recent prints to show that it’s not all challenges and frustrations! This piece is the Gnomish Submarine designed by EC3D. It’s not possible to get good prints with bad printer settings, but a good design is also crucial. As with all forms of art, I guess, good execution can only get you so far, and a perfect print of a bad design will still be lacking. I really like the designs by EC3D - the level of detail both inside and out the submarine is fantastic, and it’s really indicative of the full catalogue of designs. In fact, I like the designs so much I’ve licensed them so that I can sell the prints! If you’re interested in the submarine it is £45 without the base or £65 with the base (unpainted). Printed and painted by me it would be £100 without the base or £150 with (all prices exclude shipping). Remember, you get 10% off all my prices if you support me on patreon for $5+ a month. A large selection of prints can be found on my 3D printing page. This print hasn’t been cleaned or tidied up at all, and the level of detail you can see is really great. There are one or two areas where there is very slight banding, but realistically that won’t be visible once the submarine is painted.
FDM printed pieces like this are a great option for terrain and larger miniatures for the tabletop. I’m now thinking about ways I can gently encourage the players in one of my D&D campaigns to head to the coast so that I can use this beauty!
