40k Lion's Guard are not actually Marines, but regular humans (not even Astra) who decided to become the Primarch's "body guards". It's actually a fun idea and works well in the novel.

@@thehammerofwrath GW has become very odd with the number of books they print. Why they could not release it as a soft back as well (other than greed) I will never know.

Very cool. Do you thinks these parts would be printable without visible layer lines on a different printer? whats was the layer height you used?

@thehammerofwrath Жыл бұрын

I'm sure you could adjust the settings to make them considerably smoother. It's a bit of a mixed bag, as the parts are pre-supported, and some printed more smoothly than others. Also, I shoot in 4K so the camera is picking up a lot of the layer detail that isn't visible to the naked eye when holding the mini.

Love the bits. But a little critique.. I think you need to dial in your printer or use AA. Or maybe try a selflevling primer or ak micro filler. or sth like that. .. The printlines visible in the video are a tad bit awful to look at in my opinion. Or get a new printer with higher res. Other than that very great video as always! Greetings from Germany.

@thehammerofwrath Жыл бұрын

Thanks. It actually looks a LOT worse on camera than it does in real life. It's a combination of my lighting setup and that I'm shooting with a zoom lens in 4K. To the naked eye, they're nearly invisible. I could certainly work to dial in the printer a little better. I have produced parts with no layer lines before.
