Kobolds Pre-Supported Release
Added 2020-04-16 06:24:35 +0000 UTCHello guys,
Thank you all for being so patient. We finally finished pre-supporting and printing all the Kobolds files. Most of them have been printed twice, some of the easier once only once and some tricky models even three times without errors using different printers and resins.
Kobolds are super small compared to a human, so please be super careful when de-supporting them since some supports are thicker than their wrists and it's easy to snap them off.
Tweezers and warm water are super helpful when de-supporting these bad boys.
I don't have much more to say right now, just pretty excited about releasing this and how well these models printed. Mario and Joseph have done a phenomenal job with these models, you can thank both those guys for all the hard work. I think you will enjoy them very much.
If you need any help printing or dialing in your printer, either DLP or FDM don't forget you can hop into our Discord server and ask any questions in the #3D Printing Support text channel.
The download link is in the previous post.

(I think my first reply didn't send, hope I don't reply twice now)... Thanks a lot for your advice, I really appreciate it. The hot water works wonders =)

2020-04-25 01:00:29 +0000 UTCHi, could you by any chance hit me up on the discord 3d printing support channel. I'd love to help but it requires a bit more direction than can easily be given in a comment section. Feel free to at me there @yessik.

2020-04-23 19:58:00 +0000 UTCEvery support supports an island at .02 layer height. So yeah, they're all necessary unless you want damage to the FEP or to be constantly cleaning your resin. Have you tried a hot water bath after the IPA bath to weaken the supports?

2020-04-23 19:10:46 +0000 UTCmhhm... it´s the first time I am printing pre-supported miniatures (not just from cast n play, but in general) - normally I put the supports there by myself (and never have problems) I didnt have any problems with missing legs or anything, which is great BUT... the huge amount of supports makes it super difficult for me to remove them properly afterwards (printed at 100%) Are all the supports really necessary?

2020-04-23 18:28:59 +0000 UTCI had Kigrux C2 shield fail and Bruldob A lose his right leg, the other 4 I printed on the same plate were fine.

2020-04-20 17:43:30 +0000 UTCAdd two seconds exposure and try again, failure at point of contact is usually caused by underexposure or bad resin properties, both can be solved by adding a bit of exposure. If that doesn't work decrease your lift speed by 25%.

2020-04-20 00:37:00 +0000 UTCKinda funny cause the supports where all printed but not mini connected to them.

2020-04-18 07:11:51 +0000 UTCI put this cool heater in my epax. Just magnet it to the inner wall. It was always cold as I have a 4inch exhaust tube out the window. https://www.patreon.com/posts/diy-epax-x1-33257127

2020-04-17 23:12:04 +0000 UTCI’ll be honest - I can’t wait for him do you more of your stuff. I want to print everything from April

2020-04-17 21:45:06 +0000 UTCThey came out so nicely. I printed 3 last night before bed and even without being careful they look great. Will clean and share on discord later this weekend

2020-04-17 19:52:01 +0000 UTCThese were mind for resin. But we have seen people on discord print them on Fdm as well. Would not recommend 100% because of the size of them. But I guess it can be done

2020-04-16 19:21:33 +0000 UTCAre the STLs for FDM, or are these all for resin?

2020-04-16 19:03:19 +0000 UTCHi Stu, it is on purpose. The reason is that after several tests, printing such small pieces was nearly impossible to de-support without breaking them. For these ones we decided to support the complete ones because of that reason. But we'll be supporting modular options for bigger models. Also, we've decided to add an extra this month we will be supporting the Throwback folder as well + Undead Drake (FMD and DLP)

2020-04-16 18:59:27 +0000 UTCI've noticed that the presupported files are full kobolds rather than the modular pieces, is this on purpose?
