Pro Tip: It's a lot easier to remove supports if you dip the newly printed item in hot (not quite boiling) water. I usually remove the object from the printer, give it a quick rinse in isoprpyl alcohol, then submerge the print in very hot water for about 20 seconds, then the supports peel right off (even the strong ones) with hardly any effort. Then another quick isopropyl rinse and let dry then cure and you are good to go. I see a lot of folks complaining about support removal online and this is the solution!
The absolute best way is to do a variation of the above BUT utilize an ultrasonic cleaner instead.
Alcohol + some hot water and let the ultrasonic cleaner vibrate away all the residue and loosen the supports connections.
In the end your minis almost fall off the supports by themselves and the mini is absolutely spotless with 0 residues left.
What do you do with the hot water after it is contaminated by the resin residue?
@@blank557 cure it with UV then dispose
@@blank557If you have a yard, just dump the water in the dirt. (Just make sure no pets drink it until the dirt absorbs it and in a spot you don't care about plants growing). If you don't have a yard, you have to let it sit in the sun and let it evaporate or let it settle to bottom in the sun and you can dump the top portion in the drain and let the sun evaporate and harden the bottom portion.
Will this help reduce those hideous scars and nubs left by supports?
Pro tip! If you find yourself breaking thinner minis often you can buy flexible resins. Mixing them into your regular resins improves tensile strength and your minis should bend rather than break. They tend to be more expensive so I like to use them only when necessary. There are some more affordable ones though like Siraya Tech Tenacious.
Great tip
Getting down some resin mixes is definitely crucial.
As someone who is looking into getting a 3d printer, this is a great tip. Thanks!
If you have a steady hand and the right tools, you can also drill and pin the critical bits. I once had a mini that kept breaking at the ankles until I drilled the legs and inserted pieces of a paper-clip.
You can get a similar but less flexible approach by using a standard rigid resin and setting it to post cure for about 70% of the time you would typically do, this is especially good to do if you'll be shipping the print to someone, it will continue to cure very slowly over time
Tip for removing supports for anyone who has issues: Don't cure your print before you have removed your supports. Before removing them, dip the areas where the supports meet the model into some hot (but not boiling) water. They should just slide off without issue if you do this. Just my two cents :) Great video as always!
Appreciate the tip!
i run mine under a warm tap.
@@michaelplant9113 Bad misinfo.
Love to see proper disclosure of interest in the printers and publishers. Increases credibility of report.
My personal favourite is Flesh of Gods. Really high quality, presupported and with slicer files (never had a fail), and a good variety: normal-sized playable characters, large beasts and stuff, busts, stat blocks, etc.
Did you have to add drainage holes?
@@austintackett8603 Drainage holes are always built into their hollow models though occasionally I add one or two tiny ones on the opposite side bc I find it's easier to rinse them out that way
*chanting* Hidden gems...Hidden gems!
Really liked hearing your take on these! I lean similar in many ways for the big boys. Great video overall!
Haha! Thanks, Danny! Hopefully will get around to including YOUR stuff one of these days. 😊
Artisan Guild has some dope freaking models. I’ve played GW games for over 22 years now I cannot see buying from them as I have. There are just so many cool creators and creations out there. It’s the stone age of this tech and it will not go backwards.
Check out Bite the Bullet, imho they're up there with Artisan Guild. They have less minis per month but really cool comic book style (and they always have a pinup model like artisan guild).
Thanks. I love more comic style. Not into grimdark as much as everyone else it seems
thanks for sharing, just checked them out.
I love to see how far WASD20 has come. I've been following since 2018, glad to see you thriving!
"Broken Anvil" and "One Page Rules" have some good sculpts
I've been a subscriber of Duncan Shadow for a while, I really love his style and he has been making more modular minis lately. He has a poll each month on which theme to focus on for the upcoming pack and tends to have a lot more non-humans than most other creators I've seen.
If you ask Duncan to make something he may do it .
This was a great overview. I keep toying with the idea of getting into 3D printing, but have yet to take the plunge. Seeing videos like this which show what's out there in conjunction with some of the pros and cons help move me closer to finally jumping in. Thanks!
If youre into dnd ESPECIALLY as a DM for an in person group it is an incredible gold mine.
Been a Artisan Guild subscriber since last November and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Even when the monthly release isn't something that interests me I still end up printing a few minis for practicing my painting, the detail level on those are at the sweet spot for me. And I LOVE their epic boss fidelity rewards
Artisan guild Has some of the best fighter/knight models I’ve seen.
Great summary! Thanks for all the detailed information on these subscriptions.
Nate, thanks for showing the models that were hollow. My partner makes resin art and it’s good to see how they make different molds.
for sci-fi: Unit9 (realistic proportions), papsikels and Cyberforge (more comicbook/heroic)
I have to say I agree with almost everything you said here. I would like to see you talk about broken anvil, they're really new but they have a lot of models and they're really fun models.
Epic Miniatures is amazing, especially if you're a dungeon master. They do 60-80 miniatures per month.
Second that!
Third that!
Fourth that!
Fifth ! But only for their monsters and terrains. :)
I love Artisan Guild & Onepagerules - I'm also doing a few other smaller studios now like Clay Beast Creations and of course Lord of the Print. AG is my go-to though for like the bulk of my King of War stuff these days
I’ve been a patreon of AVG, Lord of the Print, Mini Monster Mayhem and Clay Cyanide for a fair while now and have not regretted a minute of it.
I have AVG and LOTP too, both amazing.
I love LotP, their dragons are by far the best I've seen, and they're also the closest to canon D&D dragon types. Like I see others with a "swamp dragon" that's like a mishmash of different types. The look great, but I'm trying to keep things clear for players as well.
@@PaulGuy Epic Miniatures does quite a few dragons(They have already done,black,green,red,gold,silver, white, and I believe blue)and as an added bonus they give a few different sizes.
Personally my favourite Patreons are Vae Victis Miniatures and The Printing Goes Ever On! Both make amazing models, maybe not as many as those shown here, but every piece has a lot of personality and feels unique
and the artists are amazing people.
If Lord of the Rings fantasy is your jam, The Printing Goes Ever On! will be your bread and butter.
I love this video; it is so informative! Thanks bro!
Watching the video where you did the Treant really got me into Loot Studios and I can't thank you enough for it. I was also happy to see that you also believe in their quality, rather than that just being the sponsor-talk. Also awaiting some awesome map vids!
It still frustrates me that the original Treant design got DMCA'd by... I think it was Miramax? Because it was "too similar to the design of Treebeard". :
@@LlethanderDrae Yeah that must've been up setting for most. Luckily, I downloaded both the old, the new, and have an old GW treebeard, giving me three treants to work with. But it was annoying, and it worrys me for some other packs in the future.
@@h4xx0rren3 Yeah, I also got lucky 'cause I downloaded it when it was first released and backed it up on my storage server. Would have been annoyed, though I have to hand it to Loot 'cause their redesign is pretty good.
@@LlethanderDrae Yeah. I still prefer the older one, but the redesign is very cool. Alot "cooler" if that makes sense
Ive been a supporter of Artisan Guild, Bestiarum Miniatures, Heroes Infinite, and Comet Lord at various points. All good consistant minis, depending what theme and style youre after.
More of these videos Nate!
Love em
Hi Nate, Just want to say that as a creator, it is great to hear your thoughts on what makes a great miniature patreon! The detailed feedback is invaluable.
What would you choose for the best 3-D printer for beginners
@@kellkingdom3118 I am finding the elegoo printers to be very use friendly. Maybe the mars 2?
Things I like in a miniatures patreon are:
1. Having both supported and non supported models.
2. If models come in more than one part have the ability to laod them up in blender and have them already placed in space for the join.
3. If you have thicker presupported models make sure they are hollowed with drainage holes.
4. Folder structure, keep the appropriate base with the appropriate model rather than making me dig through and guess whether this should be the 20mm or the 25mm base.
5. Generally I am looking for D&D miniatures, so monsters and races from that world. That is specific to D&D players though.
6. Good detail, if they look too blocky or too cartoony I am likely gonna skip, but that is preference. I utilize most of these patreons and Lord of the Print, generally you can place the models on the same map and not have any of them stand out as being odd style wise relative to the others.
Hope that helps, most of it is quality of life stuff. Do you have a patreon and if so what is it?
Definitely need a part two of other ones. This was a killer concept. Please do another
Thanks! I guess I gotta! :D
@@WASD20 please do :)
Love the Loot Studios miniature bundles. They are very detailed and varied. I've been a subscriber to them since their start.
I love loot studios. The details are insane and the supports are needed 😉. All models are also hollowed.
I was disappointed in loot scifi ..I canceled I wanted more cars not more characters 😪
I looked for Loot Studios on Patreon but I couldn’t find them
@@thequicksloth60 they aren't on patreon, he has the link above. They have their own website.
Seems like a good list so I look forward to browsing these catalogues. I'm a little surprised Daybreak Miniatures didn't make in there, their sculpts are pretty amazing.
I've been really loving the Epic Miniatures packs. They release a great variety for every theme they do.
I also subbed to them for the last 2 months. You get a lot of minis each month and I like their style.
100% agree with this all. Awesome video and great to shine light on all of these. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for putting this together! This information, and your opinions, are extremely valuable to someone new trying to separate the good sculpts from the average-poor ones.
Im really surprised you didnt put Lost Kingdoms in it. amazing sculpts
Lord of the Print makes some really awesome miniatures.
They absolutely make the best dragons, and that dinosaur pack from a couple months ago was awesome, but other than dragons I feel their content is a little light and often kind of weird. Lots of alien looking things.
@@andrewmcmillan229 Very true. I stick with them for the dragons mostly, although some of their other stuff can be cool at times.
I definitely agree on the dragons. Picked up a couple during a MMF sale and I don't regret a single one. Amazing sculpts.
However.... their support game really isn't that great. Had quite a few parts of those dragons fail on me until I added additional supports.
I love Lord of the Print sculpts personally. Their Tarrasque and Tiamat seem to be the popular ones seen around.
Great break down, thanks. I also like Raging Heroes (Heroes Infinite). I have been with them for almost a year and very happy with most of their models.
Hey, he's back! Been a little while; great video! Very informative, thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
ive been subbed to AVG, loot, and Lord of the Print since before i even had a 3d printer. LotP's dragons are so rad and fun to paint, and a super active discord where the creators often hangout and take suggestions on future themes. i've broken more of the tiny fiddly bits on their models more than any other company, but i chalk that up to having dogs and friends who don't pay as much care to the models as i'd like.
Thanks for sharing didn't know about a couple of these. As far as removing supports. Make sure you are removing supports by soaking entire thing in warm water after the wash step and before the cure step. This will allow for much easier removal and prevent what I call brittle snapping (where you go to cut off a cured support and even though not cut close to model snaps a piece of model off (leaving a divot) when you snip it because it is brittle.)
No Cast-n-Play? They're huge and have tons of great models.
Love these models. Plenty of terrain too. So, that's cool!
I've been on Artisan Guild's patreon for over a year and have no regrets. Loot is the other one I've been considering. Thanks for making this!
Thanks for watching!
I find Artisan's Guild to be great. I have also had about 6 months of Loot Studios and they are fantastic for the detail and mixture of monsters, where Artisan's Guild deals less with monsters and more with sets. Both are needed for a complete world though. I have gotten Lord of the Print a few times. They are great for the large monsters, dragons, giants, etc. If you are looking for the best dragons they have them, and a very complete set. One that was not mentioned was Heroes Infinite by Raging Heroes. They have an interesting style, and they have some of the largest monthly releases I have seen. They just came out with the Dark Elves for September 2021 that is very nice. Probably the best bang for your buck that I have seen yet. They are very themed as well, less monsters more theme based, such as Greek Gods, Norse Gods, Angels, etc.
I have never regretted having both Artisan's Guild and Loot Studios though. Both Fantastic for different reasons.
Same here I really like Artisan Guild and want to try Loot!
I’ve bought a lot of their files and love the prints, but what would be the benefit of subscribing? Do I get fee shit every month?
@@Slabri if you tend to buy lots of their files then subscribing would be considerably c heaper. Loot is $60 per bundle un-subscribed. If you subscribe you get the monthly bundle for $15, a saving of $45 = 75% off. And you can then buy past bundles for $30, which is 50%. If you don't like what they are offering that month, un-subscribe and join again later when they have something that you like with no financial repercussion. Subscribe for longer consecutive periods of time and you get loyalty rewards, which is free unique models that they do not sell. Most companies do this. Both Artisans Guild and Loot follow this system.
I just got a 3d printer and am going through this now. I appreciate the input.
Nice! Excited for you. Those first couple weeks of printing were magical. :)
DM Stash is a new one that I've been subscribed to for a bit, if you pay for the little bit higher tier you get a mini 5e campaign that goes with the miniatures. Very detailed, but can be prone to breakage on the fiddly bits, but the sculpts are really great.
Twin Goddess Miniatures is a smaller patreon I could say look into. Art style is consistent, and while it doesn't follow a theme usually, the releases are decided a month prior by the patreons.
Interesting.. I print those Loot Studios models and after cleaning just drop the mini into hot water for a few seconds and the supports all come right off and any numbs just a take a tiny bit of elbow grease to clear out as well.
Lord of the Print has some of the best supports I've printed (although only have printed the angel warrior from the welcome pack so far), they practically came out by themselves and the ones that were still there, came out as I was handling the build plate + spatula around to get it out from there, best of all? Little to no residue to clean from the supports, even fine details like fingers are intact. And the quality of the sculpting is sooooo good imo, this month they are doing a "Leaf Walkers" theme that looks really nice
Check Heroes Ifinite, Lost Kingdoms, Signum Workshop, Warplogue Miniatures, Bite The Bullet, White Werewolf Tavern , Broken Anvil, Print You Monsters, Cast n Play, Cobra Mode….and the list goes on! 😅
Thank you so much for the top quality video :) i Love it
Clay Cyanide is a great creator, a lot more direct mythological stuff covering Norse, Chinese, Japanese, etc. pantheons. They have great detail to them as well and I think their style is a good middle ground of the more grounded look I like to miniatures along with a more distinct style. Would love to see another video like this in the future.
Brilliant video! And really useful :)
Could you do a second part for terrain? Perhaps the best fantasy/scifi terrain sculptors. 3d printed terrain pieces contribute a lot to the mood of the table!
Thanks for your content buddy 😉
Consider Cast n' Play. I love their models. And, they offer a subscription level which gives you access to previous models.
Excellent video thanks for sharing
One great way to remove supports is to dunk the model (before curing) you are working on in boiling hot water for a few seconds up to about 15 seconds or so, no more than that because they can absorb the water rather easily. I use this method to reduce the risk of damaging models and minis as the connection points just give up on holding onto the model in the hot water, also this cleans the cleaning solution you have from the model but it does take a little longer to dry them out.
For those looking for warhammer stuff I highly recommend Hellforge miniatures they’re doing a whole alpha legion set and their night lords proxy and conversion stuff have been essential to my army
Make Print Not War Discord
Cast n Play is really nice too. Printed and Painted Jizor (demon) and it is fantastic.
I am a subscriber of Artisan Guild and I really like their stuff. I wish they had more "mage" types but so far, really enjoying printing and painting their models.
On the dark fantasy and highly detailed side there is Bestiarium Miniatures.
On the more comic book, almost cartoony style like the one from Artisan Guild there is Broken Anvil Miniatures, Their june-september bundles have been top notch design-wise for me, and Bite the Bullet with some incredible minis (their dragonborn are some of my favourite from this race and their latest seasonal reward is a jawdropper).
There are a lot of creators out there putting out amazing content. I agree with jumping from sub to sub each month picking the bundles you like the most. I follow the creators at Patreon so I get their sneak peeks and releases each month. I’m always watching for releases from: Cobramode, White Werewolf Tavern, Clay and Cyanide, Lord of the Print, Manuel Boria, TPK lab, Flesh of Gods, Signum Workshop, Heroes Infinite, Tiger Skull RPG, Cast n Play, DM Stash, Daybreak Miniatures, Printed Obsession and some others.
Thank you for this list because thanks to you, I just discovered Flesh of Gods and I really really dig there artistic vision. Each mini has so much personnality.
I like comet lord miniatures. Printed 2 big multipart miniatures by them, presupported (and in a way where I could just pull them off) , looking great and worked without messing around
Tip on removing supports, and I've found this particularly useful on loots: submerge them in hot water for 2-5 minutes before hand. This softens the resin and most times for me the supports just fall off if I flex the build surface raft.
How hot do you make your water? I've heard this suggestion and want to use it on some of my next prints. Also, is that after or before washing off the excess resin still on the minis?
@@jjrevis I run my prints through my wash station, then put them into a container of water that has been microwaved for 2 min. I then let them sit for a few minutes before removing the supports.
Love this video I am about to buy a 3d printer for the first time and was looking to see the best place fore files
I’ve recently subbed to Mierce minis, they’re a newer 3d printable sub, but I used to purchase their physical minis too and they are fantastic quality sculpts that print well.
A tip that I recently heard that has saved me HOURS of post processing is dipping the washed minis in warm water. Then it's so simple to just pull off the supports without leaving tons of marks. Might help a bit :)
One thing worth mentioning on Artisan Guild is that they have modular hands/ weapons, which allows customization and variation. I love that.
True!
Lost Kingdom def deserves some praise, best cohesive army builder for us fantasy wargamers. My fav by far though remains Ghamak for his who-shall-not-be-named proxies and consistency in producing excellent quality sculpts. A bit pricier for both the fantasy and scifi tiers but a discount for getting both.
Titan Forge and Artisans Guild both have some things that cater to wargamers rather than rpg gamers, which I think is important to call out. Some things you didn't like, like having extra non-model specific bases, or generic modular troops is something I find to be a big bonus. Good video though.
Fair point! I’m coming from the RPG viewpoint, so it’s hard for me to look through those lens, but that’s good to know.
I agree wargamers get a huge bonus with modular troops. They are very useful in a lot of miniature games, like rank n' flank or skirmish.
Dragon Trappers Lodge has some of my favorite miniatures.
I've been following the Artisan Guild for quite a while now, and I recently subscribed to Goblin Art Studios and they are also just amazing
I love that video. That was exactly what i was searching for. Thank a lot!
For the cherry on top, could you check other group? That be real nice.
Drunken Dwarf is a great one in my opinion, supports alittle hard to remove but overall a great one i recommend.
Thanks for doing this video.
The bit where you broke your poor wizard was hilarious and im glad you left it in the video LMAO
I recommend lychie slicer, makes hollowing and supporting things very easy.
Artisan Guild is also my favorite for minis. Titan Forge makes great square bases for rank and file wargames. I also like Epic Miniatures for their monsters. :)
Ameralabs (and others im sure) have a resin with more flex in it that's designed for miniatures in mind, making them much less brittle. Great for models with super thin parts, but they can end up warping some instead of snapping.
Have you tried the hot water trick? Wash your mini, then drop it in a cup of hot tap water for a minute. Your supports will come off clean and easy.
The first time I tried this, the entire support structure came off by itself as I lifted the print out of the water. Obviously most prints are too complicated for that to happen, but hot water makes it _so_ much easier. Just beware of warping with finer details and too hot water.
White Wolf Tavern is another good one. Very detailed.
It's worth noting that Loot includes an unsupported version of all their models. Not sure if the others do, but I print with PLA, and those unsupported models means I can optimise for non resin, which has actually been working really well. I was surprised, as I figured only resin would be worth using.
Im a big fan of Bestiarum Miniatures and Galaad Mniatures.
Bestiarum gives a huge amount of grimdark monsters every month with 5e stats to throw a little bone chill into your campaigns. Galaad miniatures are a great middle point between Real scale and heroic scale, easier to paint and can fit in with just about any setting or mood.
Galaad knight series was my favorite of all models to paint. That was a damn cool set.
I've been subbed to artisan guild for about 5 or 6 months now. They're AMAZING. The artwork is fantastic, and you get so much each much for just $10. Every 3 months, if you're subbed for all 3, you get a special "boss model" for free! The customer service is outstanding, and the community on patreon is coming along great, people post their printed and painted minis pretty frequently. Would 100% recommend jumping on artisan guild.
Lost Kingdom Miniatures is hands down my favorite!
Amazing sculpts, good extras, and a very responsive team make them the best I've used. The ones you presented here are also not too shabby.
I find using Luke warm water soak before curing will help remove the supports easier . Xacto knife and Dremel tools help as well .
Nice subject. Thanks to RUclips for recommendation. Subbed. My fav is Loot Studios.
Great video Wondering if you can give a little suggestion on which of these guys or others not mentioned have a decent catalog of terrain pieces, preferably of the modular variety.
The film Noir style really showed the regret and agony well!! Good show!
Thanks for watching! :D
I have heard Dark Gods makes some pretty cool dark fantasy models... But I may be a bit biased ;) I am just one guy with a dream afterall!
My go to other designers are
Archvillain Games
MiniMonsterMayhem
And Bestiarum
Always a win with those three when it comes to insane detail and dark fantasy!
Great! I am subbed too Archvillain and Titan Forge for my more fantasy stuff I like their styles, great for collecting cool minis for just painting for making nice armies :-) I dont have Loot but I got on their Journey to Valhalla project and wow its amazing! I love how realist they make things and at the smaller scale it is nuts!!
Yeah the journey to Valhalla thing looked amazing!
@@WASD20 Yeah it is insane the amount of content as well even more so if you got on it early :-) I feel like Loots stuff is aimed more at hobbyists who also enjoy gaming, By that I mean more towards people who enjoy to paint more so over gaming but still game.
@@yagsipcc287 Yes - the busts and 75 mm scale options are evidence of that, I think. But I'd say their stuff is still just as good for gaming as any of the others if you stick to the wealth of 32mm options. I especially like the amount of classic D&D monsters they have. Roper, Gelatinous cube, treant, kobolds, mimic, etc.
Artisan Gild and Loot are both my faves too. You should check out Clay Cyanide Miniatures. I like their stuff too as they employ ancient mythology to TTRPG. Cool stuff at a durable scale. Loot with the realistic scale is very hard to paint and keep in one piece.
Lord of the Print is the first 3d patreon I subscribed to and am blown away each new month.
They do have great stuff, especially if you like big dragons and similar creatures.
@@WASD20 That's my only real tiny criticism - most of their models are big and I only have a Photon S with a tiny build plate - and it's totally a me issue, not something they're doing wrong. I want to get a bigger printer simply to print some of their stuff at full size.
@@williamowens5144 I have a Photon S also and have finally gotten the confidence to tackle LOTP models after many fails when I first got the printer (I tried to print that Tarrasque 2-3 times and always found it floating in the morning) . Most LOTP models will fit on your plate. The Tiamat fit 100% (no resizing), but it took an entire week of printing... I think I managed to get it all on 7 plates at about 12-18hrs a plate. I use Lychee as my slicer as its been highly recommended. The one thing that I learned about LOTP is that their supports suck. They serve as a great base, but you really have to go in and add more to support their supports. When you finish a plate, run it under hot water for about a minute. This softens the supports and they just peel off with ease. I did the Godzilla last week and the Tiamat this week and they both turned out amazing! I've been subscribed to them for almost a year, and most (not all) of their models will fit on the Photon S build plate without resizing. I totally agree though, a bigger printer with a higher resolution would be amazing.
There’s so many different Miniature Patreons out there that it was quite overwhelming which one to choose when I got my resin printer.
Heroes Infinite is a fantastic studio too. Really find their humanoid models especially impressive, but they have quality across the board.
finally a wasd20 video, I was getting dry of this awesome content
I am as excited as you to be back in the saddle!
One page rules minis look pretty good
Honestly love the look of their Saurians...too bad I'm not into Lizardmen. However, I decided I'm gonna make an Alien Hive army
Great video, first time I watch you, and do this kind videos in spanish (in a very very small channel) more focused in warhammer.
Although the ones you're talking about focus more on D&D (especially Loot Studios and from what I've seen Cripple God, which I didn't know them) they also try to satisfy the warhammer consumer. Looking for proxies of certain warhammer miniatures, especially Archivillian and Titan Forge. So much so that Titan Forge has created Cyber Forge, which mixes cyberpunk stuff with their own versions of Warhammer 40,000.
I found you looking for things that had been done about Lord of the Print. Highly recommended when looking for any type of Dragon for D&D.
Waiting on the mapping vids
The vibe i got from this is Artisan Guild is for sure the best
I've looked through the comments and no-one seems to have mentioned Raging Heroes / Heroes Infinite. They've moved their platform off patreon but they have great models, and a large amount of terrain to go with the models.
I love that Archvillain Games have such large models. They're display pieces or gift pieces.
Good to hear somebody's moving off of Patreon. Whenever someone mentions a monthly bundle on Patreon I cringe because going there and trying to sift through all their messages to get an idea of what their style is and what models you can get is frustrating as heck. I hate browsing Patreon. It may be a good platform for handling the monthly subscription but it is horrible for marketing what you offer to potentially new subscribers.
loot studios supports are easy to remove if you soak your prints in hot water after wash and before curing, they just fall off with a bit of pressure, of course that tends to soften the thinner parts of the print as well, as long as your careful though they come off easy
I do soak them in hot water
Artisan's Guild is my favorite. Don't own a 3D Printer. But they are my go to when I buy them off Etsy.
Great video! Just bought a 3d resin printer and this was extremely helpful. Are there any companies that produce largely terrain rather than miniatures?
I’m sure there are, but I don’t know of any specifically.
Dark Realms is amazing for terrain.
I usually scale up models to print either 54mm or 75mm tall and while I love some of the themes and poses Artisan Guild's style just looks too goofy for me so when you blow them up they just look silly. AG models are like Hotwheels cars, kinda cool but too exaggerated in all the wrong places.
Archvillan is badass, always really cool stuff for the way I like to print.
