I 3D Printed the Most Expensive Stl's for Warhammer 40k

I used the Phrozen Sonic Mighty 4k to 3d print the worlds most expensive stl files for warhammer 40k. Usually 3d printing warhammer is cheaper than buying from games workshop, but after no new releases for tyranids in years I decided to put my money where my mouth is and 3d print better ones.

Definitely worth the money for so many combinations of bits, looking forward to the Custodes episode, I recently grabbed a Telemon, not that surrogate miniatures one you did but one of the small Cults 3D creators designs; the middle section of his proxy just looks a bit fuller by comparison got a tiny bit of my 3D printed Telemon painted up while watching this infact..... But you need longer videos dude so I can get more done while watching them. ;)

i print bases when I am too impatient to wait for amazon or eBay to send me a 100-pack of bases. Im working on a WHFB Empire army so I go through 100 bases like nobody's business. Not to mention the prices on some larger bases is a tad crazy sometimes. I've seen 5-6 dollars for 100x50mm square bases when I could print double that amount for the exact cost in resin. Scenic bases are also nice and give me a nice pallet cleanser when painting models

also after watching the vid i'll comment on my experience 3d printing too; ive got a really cheap resin printer (anycubic photon mono) and i've always had thin, flat models warp for myself, might be my supports but ive never had any luck with printing pases in resin, found it more reliable to print them using fdm when I still had a fdm printer ^^

i print bases as well all the time ive got 2 fdm i use for terrain and bases can print 30 x 32mm bases 50 x 25mm 40x28mm and about 16x50mm base for only about $5 of filament at most took me a day to print 20 new 50mm bases for my guards heavy wep teams

Butov makes amazing sculpts, I immediately fell in love with his tyrand and Swarmlord. BTW I do print my bases, but only FDM prints for the basic, undecorated ones. There are so many amazing things to use for basing, so fully decorated bases can be more of an annoyance than a benefit

Simple rule of thumb for myself but if the STL file is within 10$ of the retailer model I just buy the model. If the STL file alone is going for the price of a physical model I feel almost obligated to print several just to get my money's worth. Let alone time, effort and headache.

Okay so roughly 115 something bucks for three models of that size, honestly I would have to say that's actually very well worth it. $11 worth of resin when a bottle can cost you anywhere from 25 upwards to $100 again I would say very worth it. And if you put magnets in the heads and on the limbs for the two smaller ones you can interchange parts on them depending on who you're going to be fighting against or putting them on display

I design and print my own bases. I like the cause I can print completed bases which saves me times. I also play Aeldari (Drukhari Harliquins with a splash of craftworld Eldar) and custom bases allow me to print magnet slots right into the base. The heavier bases also prevent models from tipping over and breaking all the fiddly bits. My Drukhari are on bases covered in skulls, I couldn't imagine placing them all by hand. I am currently in the process of making flying stand with 3d printed adaptors to make the models hold on with magnets.

Regarding the base printing question; I print my bases in my FDM printer, at 0.08mm layer height. It gives me nice quality bases that cost absolutely nothing. Plus, it allows me to customize them if I want to add slots for different magnets (I have an option for three 2x1mm magnets, one for a single 9mm or 12mm, etc). Also, amazing result on those not-so-minis! I really want to print some big models, once I set my mind on a specific faction to print a bigger army.

Nowadays i print all my bases with a cheap resin i have (It's 19 dollars the liter i think after conversion), the end result is flexible and is on point on size (got quite annoyed when even gw couldnt handle milimeters right on some bases... Looking at you 28mm range, with 2 different "sizes") Anyway, a good start would be Txarli Factory, look at how he supports and make the bases, a lot of pp places some weird supports on bases that just deforms the poor things, but so far, Txarli never went wrong with me, and copying his support style for other bases (and when i resize for other models) never failed me.

you can print bases directly onto the baseplate. gotta play a bit with the exposure. you generally want a decently long exposure, and large layers. if you do you can get one load of bases done in around 15 minutes.
