@ZhiLin_Yang it might be a cool idea to get a partnership with a 3D printing company and sell your game with the 3D printer in a bundle.

There are several very affordable 3D printers in the FDM category going for the 300-600 CAD range. Some even have dual color printing enabled, which could make your models really stick out and even more visually appealing.

I have a couple of suppliers in mind, let me know if you would be interested in this.

didn’t really pay attention, I just print at finest setting.

0.4 nozzle

0.1 layers

30-40 deg for overhang. Though my models don’t have any angled overhang, mostly.

Wow, that is very good indeed.

What machine are you running? Surely it’s the machine’s precision more than anything?

Oh and design, of course!

The printer doesn’t matter that much for those models. those where printed on a old upbox 2 that’s on its last leg.

Most of the work is to design the files so that they can print well even on an average printer.

Just don’t try that with character models. There is a limit to what deigns can do, it’s a case by case thing.

I would love to review/ test one of your models, the models look real good did you do any sanding before painting or is that strait out of the printer? I have a Da Vinci jr. PLA printer. Its a cheap printer so it would be cool to see how the models turn out on a cheaper printer. Is there current rules for a game to play with the models? would you like me to make a youtube video, or write a review for you? I am very interested in this project.

I was originally planning to make a full game, but I decided to scale down the operation, so it’s only models for now.

This is the website btw:

And yes, I think Da Vinci jr. should print well. I make my design as much printer proof as I can.

As for youtube vid and review, that would be great. Just send me a message on Facebook: it would be easier to communicate. :slight_smile:
