Warhammer 40k miniatures 3d printer

Pros:

• Large print area

• Many different materials are available for every “taste and budget”

• Inexpensive Consumables

Cons:

Of course, FDM printers are hardly suitable for making miniature figures, but they can be successfully used to print large souvenir figures, create game locations and some parts of dioramas. nine0003

LCD/DLP

The principles of operation of LCD and DLP printers are very similar. The material used is polymers that harden under the action of UV light. The only difference is that an LCD printer uses an LED matrix in conjunction with an LCD screen as a source of UV radiation, while a DLP uses a projector.

Working principle of photopolymer 3D printer

Pros:

• nine0002 The ideal surface of the finished figure

• Many different materials available

• High print accuracy even for the smallest items

Cons:

Photopolymer 3D printers are able to create miniature products that cannot be made using FDM technology. This technology will be an ideal choice for creating miniatures, small poster models, etc. nine0003

Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K is one of the representatives of photopolymer printers with 8K matrix resolution, which can still be counted on the fingers of one hand. The high resolution LCD matrix allows you to print figurines with amazing surface quality and amazing detail. Such a printer is suitable for demanding printers who care about accuracy and the perfect surface of the finished model. nine0003

Totals

3D printers are gradually showing themselves to be great helpers in many areas, not only in medicine and industry, but also in home hobbies. Thanks to 3D printing, it is possible to produce small figurines or elements of dioramas much faster, paying more attention to the elaboration of details, rather than painstaking modeling or the search for exotic materials.

And digitalization makes it much easier to share your work and finished models in the community or adjust them to your needs, for example, change the scale or adjust the pose. nine0003

Don't pay for a wargame! Warhammer 40,000.

And so, this is a continuation of the first article http://3dtoday.ru/blogs/bashkosa/picaso-designer-in-wargame-warhammer-40000-the-first-part/ There is such a desktop wargame , its name is Warhammer 40,000, the game is very expensive, people's armies often cost a lot of money, 20,000 rubles, 40,000 rubles, and even under 100,000 rubles. This is not a very simple toy, it originated 1980s, the forerunner of all computer games. Even the simplest set of soldiers in the amount of 3 pieces cost from 600 rubles, equipment is expensive ... like the battlefield.

I'll tell you how you can play for free, in this game Warh 40k why did you choose it? Firstly, I do not like to print all sorts of custom-made parts for cars or everyday life, I prefer the area that I like. I decided to try my skills in this wargame, and I want to share my experience.

First, we need 3D models for printing, they can be downloaded or bought on websites, created by ourselves, ordered by a 3D designer. The 3D model should be as light as possible and cheap at cost - it's more profitable for us. I recommend starting with printing equipment (simple square), for example, an infantry fighting vehicle. Let's print it out. You can use another technique, I made a Dreadnought theme from the link above. nine0003

Next, we look for a club in our city, or a community of players in Warhammer 40k, usually of course in large cities. You can print chips along the way, and other models for the game, Rina (infantry vehicle) was enough for me, this model is the most popular and necessary (there are 2,4, 6 or more in the army), we divided the source file into pieces - to lighten the weight, came out somewhere around 60 grams. We bring what was printed to the club, we show it in our Ufa club, the main part of the people liked it. There will be aesthetes who will turn their noses, do not pay attention to them, they will begin to criticize, it is rough there, here, etc., but this is not critical, everything can be protected, painted (to taste and light). We are not going to sell something yet, we need an exchange to arouse interest - a small PR campaign, we give something to the club. If you have a desire to start playing a wargame, and not sell your products, it will be easier for you. nine0003

One of my first orders was the second dreadnought, ordered by a member of the club in Ufa, I'm posting a photo of the process of bringing the Dreadnought to mind (there will be a lot of photos, I like clarity):

Cleaning with a needle file.

Beginning of painting:

Well, a photo of the finished version (the photo is not mine, the quality is not ice):

And so, having given the first set of parts, not only the dreadnought, I took a bunch of parts on the exchange - they remain with people after assembling the models , hands, heads, knapsacks, weapons, equipment parts. This is called 'bitsa' - it is often used to create new models, techniques. For example, a pair of legs costs from 50r, each pistol, automatic, cost money and not small, if we are talking about a set of weapons or a dozen of the same type of parts .... (Often, players do not have enough legs and torsos to assemble new models, so they lie heaps of details without work!)

And then I got a bunch of details, a MOUNTAIN (everything didn’t fit in the photo) ...

My first repair of equipment (I printed out the missing parts):

Result:

Next, from what we named, we make infantry (trupsa) ! The choice fell on 'Chaos Marines', they can use trophies, pickling in the configuration (but within reasonable limits and you need to know a little about the rules).

Basically, I printed out the legs and body, this is what came out:

Well, the whole company together:

That's actually all, the most important thing if you play this game with your own printer is the word 'barter' 'exchange' For things created by the printer, you can get everything you want in the game, figurines, spare parts, even painting models can be ordered! And interestingly, you only buy plastic in coils) I spent 400 grams on everything that I just received.
