I'm a ' bit shocked. I figured someone here would have a 3d printer or experience with one.
Right now I'm trying to decide between the Creality Ender 3 or the Creality CR-10 mini. Both can be had for under $300.
Has anyone got one? Has anyone used one and seen the quality?
I feel like I would be comfortable selling some of my mini heavy games to pay for one if the quality was good enough.
Looking forward to your experiences with the printer.Ordered a creatly ender 3. Should get it in two weeks or so. I'll let you know how it goes. Current price for them is $199 shipped no tax.
I picked up a Kinect for PCs at a thrift store. I need to buy a supported usb3 card and I'll see if I can scan with it.3D printers are getting good, what about 3D scanners?
Last time I checked a scanner that could scan a mini good enough was several thousand.
The altar was easy to print. Miniatures are taking much more tuning. I'll upload my Cura profile for printing miniatures so anyone else can hopefully reduce their learning curve.That altar has me looking at 3D printers now. Thanks Bunch
Yes the detail is higher than I thought it would be. For a printer that can be bought and shipped for less than $200 im very impressed.I can see that the altar would be more straightforward than humanoid figures, but I'm still blown away by the level of detail.
Antenociti's Workshop have announced that they're putting their line of vehicles out as STL files in a pre-Christmas Kickstarter, so I'm more than interested right now.
The time is quicker than you're budgeting and resolution is better than you think. I think with a little more work illI get minis on par with what I'd get from any of the D&D adventure system games and maybe up to the level I see from a coolminiornot game.Cost delta is too high for me. Consumer level 3d printers are still wonky; 24 hours of grinding away for about 12 square inches of Dwarven-forge like terrain, except very low resolution, at $400 for the printer and then the ABS, is still a bridge too far. Miniatures are out of the question: even the $25 HeroForge charges for their figures is too high, IMO, given the degree of grainyness.
You should get that and tell me how it goes!Been drooling over the AnyCubic Photon. It's a resin printer, so no print lines and you can print multiples of the model in the same time. Quality looks amazing.
A little more than twice the price of the Creality Ender. Printing looks much lrsl fiddly than filament printers, although you'll need to finish/cure the resin with isopropyl alcohol and a UV light source (a nail light will do).

I take back what I said about the price delta. Now very seriously considering the AnyCubic or the Creality Ender once I get finances well in order in the coming year (that's the big, BIG hurdle...)
Don't forget to get detailed minis you might need to pay for the design files too. Most free minis are on the lower detail level.
Hmm not ready to buy a printer that requires gloves, mask and ethanol to use just yet.
I need less suicidal little boys in my life. Four kids under six. One can semi reliably be counted on to not try something lethal in a day.A good point
Already use mask and gloves for airbrushing, and a mask for sanding resin. You clearly just need more Scotch in your life
Apparently you don't 3d scan miniatures you use photogrammetry. You lose details but seems to work. Haven't tried it yet but I will3D printers are getting good, what about 3D scanners?

I'm in a hobby machining group and one of the guys just got a 3D printer for around $250. I've been wanting one of these for a few years but the quality wasn't there and the prices high. I'm very interested to see how his machine does, I think he also bought one of the Ender machines.
