Folder layouts

Hey Stefan! While I 100% agree, the shear nature of the amount of guns and accessories these minis have make it much harder to make full minis, but I am now breaking them down by folder so at least it makes it easier to just place and print, my earlier kits were much broader in what weapons / accessories would go with what body

I would love to have complete minis It makes it so much easier to paint them, without the hassle of glueing them together and printingt lots of small parts.

hahahah yeah the hands are pretty obvious, but I agree, I was looking at this vehicle kit and it comes with so many parts, i can see how people can get lost. I'll take some time and add some names to the breakdowns just to help out

I went for option 3, but option 1 is probably more appropriate for complicated models like vehicles with multiple parts. If someone can't figure out where a hand goes on a model, maybe a diagram won't help them.

Totally agree, thanks Steve!

Option 1 for me. I realise it's creating more work for you, but it'd be extremely helpful. When you've got several terabytes of STLs it's nice to have everything in order of common sense. A little exploded JPEG would be nice to add on to a sale listing too. It's something I've always appreciated in the past when I've been buying 3rd party stuff.

Hey Enrico haha yeah, I agree but I have gotten countless amounts of comments / messages about the files missing right hands :P something had to be done hehe I think adding a right and left option broken down by character would be the best in between option, the weapons are usually pretty light in size so it wouldn't add that much extra space to have both

hahah I hear yeah! Great idea for sure, what I'm thinking is adding a small checkbox like list to the breakdown with the names and how many of them you would need to "recreate" that mini. Thanks man!

Hey Chris! Aw that's a fun idea, I probably wouldn't put that directly on the file name BUT when i take breakdown pictures, I could add a list of all the parts used and definitely put how many of that piece you would need, thanks man!

Yeah, I was feeling that as well, makes the most sense for sure

Hey Della! haha what parts are you referring to?

Interesting poll. Indeed, impossible to glue the parts of the troop ms so the arms are thin and not interlocking 😅

Option No1, with pic/manual and list of files

Including a "2X" or "2xMir" or something like that in the filename to indicate the number of an object to be printed (and if it needs to be mirrored) would also help immensely.

I'd like to see the picture breakdown, but I also think it'd be nice to have a checklist of pieces to print, and how many are needed. Usually the longest step for me is figuring out "what do I need, what is optional add-ons". Not sure how viable this really is, given the mix-and-match nature of your kits (especially some of the recent ones), but it'd help my poor glue fumes-addled brain.

Just split minis in thematic folders. No need for random separating work: if people find themselves lost on how to mirror pieces,google is there for everybody.
