Thank you! I liked the Nautile very much as well ;)

Yes, and it was GREAT! I finally got to attend this year. Very nice models indeed! And yes the Power Armor triplet was mine. :) I also saw your Nauteile and Ikarie @mikezax, they look even better IRL ;) (And found myself in your gallery so I have photographic evidence of me attending :D )...

Spliced in the buck converter and the Noctua onto my printer, works so far. Got a lot less "whiney" with the new fan, thumbsup you can see the buck converter on the side of the mount. Overall I'm very satisfied with this setup. ... I do hope I don't put an Allen wrench trough this, it was waaay...

Some new Trials and Tribulations: So I had a little issue with one of the multi-day prints I was doing. The nozzle got clogged and I was so busy with life I failed to do the (mandatory for me) morning and evening visual checks for 2 days straight. That is kind of bad for multiple reasons: - The...

Oh I have them I just dont bother with it unless I really have to on game pieces (I think I wrote it somewhere) ... I'm lazy ;) oh and Thank you!

I knew I had a closeup pic rattling around somewhere: So this mini came out great, I didn't bother with sanding or filler, and used washes on it. this is with 0.08mm layer height and a 0.2mm nozzle. I am looking into chemical smoothing but it's an ongoing project at the moment. you need a...

And now that I wrote a LOT about how I get the printer to print things I like, here is WHAT I was printing:

Final (so far) upgrade: As the heatsink silencer is still not printed I only had one more thing to change. The spool holder I printed a while ago. that had the spool on 4 ball bearings, while worked nicely, had a problem of not really holding the spool in place if I moved (the turned off)...

...Noise reduction: After switching to 0.2mm nozzles the print quality went quite a bit, but the print time almost quadrupled. Printing with a 0.2mm nozzle not only means that the printer can extrude less plastic, but the head needs to be positioned more precisely to the layers to adhere as they...

Yes, the I've done a lot of those under "Noise reduction" section. I will write that too.

...Quality problems. At that time I was still printing upgrades for my Ender, I was not that satisfied with the prints: I frequently got stringing (the nozzle drags little strings when no plastic should be extruded), and overall the prints were not as smooth as I'd like for minis. I didn't want...

WOW! It is already October, I got myself a Creality Ender 3 around April but never got around to write my experiences. Better later than never I guess ... A little history: Me being a big Fallout fan I just had to try out the new Fallout based Board and war games that came out last year. one of...

Oh, Robot Jox is one of my childhood faves as well, cannot wait to see the finished template :D

Darius, Welcome to the forum and thank you for saving it. I really like the improvements I can see. Looking forward to post my new builds here when I get there. DaiShi

Yeah I could have been a bit more explicit too, sorry. :( the foam expanding overnight is new to me too, so at least now we all know to look out for it ;)

Zathros said most of the relevant stuff. This is what I use http://www.soudal.hu/diy-purhabok/item/352-szerelő-hab, but I don't know if there are many types thou. I do tend to leave a dowel in the pipe so I can yank out the clogged stuff with ease. (after detaching the pipe)

I've used expanding foam for most of my models with success. Especially the non-human ones with multi joined legs. My Mass Effect: Grunt model needed it for similar reasons as your T-Rex, I've cut open the sole of the feet, put a little around the knees with the long pipe that the can came...

This is a really big model show with 2200+ models. Unfortunately paper models are sparce, but there were some really good entries so here goes. (I only had my phone to take pictures with, so sorry about the quality.) Paper Panzers category: Paper category: And some galleries...

Wow looks awesome, cannot wait to see how it turns out ;) Btw what version is this? I really like it.

Some of my co-workers started on 3D printing and they "infected" me too. I'd ordered a standard version of the Ender 3 + a separate package of V6 hotend + titan extruder + stepper motor, according to YT most other updates on the pro can be printed or just not that vital. Lots of possibilities...
