AmazonBasics red PLA filament

I know filament printers have gotten better, but wouldn't resin be better for something like this?

Are you sure it is not because you use to work on DOS 3.0 which feels like Ancient times

My first job was DOS 3, Vax/VMS and whatever OS comes on a PDP-11/70. We didn't have any machines running it, but I learned a LOT from a DOS 1.0 manual that was still kicking around my office - stuff that they stopped putting in the documentation for non-devs so as not to frighten them away.

I for one would be interested in the Photo Results if you do post a Photo just to see how it would look like.

Well... as expected, the hair is a complete disaster. It almost caused some failures for the face or the whole head, but in the end the print finished without failing. But as the hair is very brittle, it started to break down as soon as I removed the support.

So here are two photos of Erika's figurine. The model was printed standing up (with supports) but I laid it down for the photo.


You can see that the hair is a mess: some parts broke down and fell off. There is also a problem with the right elbow. I guess that the supports moved a bit during printing, which caused a part of the elbow to be printed incorrectly. This would probably not happen again if I would reprint it.

Overall the results are not too bad, considering that I used the medium quality settings and a relatively cheap filament. At least the bikini is visible. But the problems with the hair caused a slight quality degradation of the face, so it is difficult to tell that this figure is Erika.

Also, the lighting conditions are rather bad. Maybe I will try again in a few hours when there is some daylight.

I am printing another test now with the same model lying down. I scaled it up a bit so that Erika would be 27 cm tall. I will see if it prints better, but I expect that the hair will also fail.

Resin would certainly provide a better quality. However, very few resin printers would be able to print a 27 cm model. Most resin printers cannot even fit an object that is half that size. Also, PLA is a bit easier to paint. And resin is more expensive.

in the model world gluing things together isn't unheard of, right? I'd imagine you could glue them together from multiple chunks, the paint is another issue entirely though.

maybe start a new thread, the mods are going to be pissed that they have to delete all these offtopic posts

Special Render (L) - Alexia - Free Version
Continuing the Valentine's theme, some people like a jacuzzi full of flowers. With that Jacuzzi, neither flowers, champagne, nor even water are necessary.
Alexia is the only gift I need for Valentine's Day. She is more intoxicating than champagne, refreshing than water, and beautiful than flowers.
Enjoy the Full HD render (4K for subscribers).

Mine can do 16cm in height but usually you print them at around a 45 degree angle which means i can use around 22cm in height.

This works very well, yes. It's very common at least with resin printers.


Maybe it's time to dust of mine and print a big model of The Queen......

Care to describe the steps you took?

- What did you download? - Name of the file please.
- What did you do with it? - Extracted? Run straight from the zip?
- What, if any, error shows up? - Any messages?
- If you see a Menu, where did you click?

Thanks.

Peace

After the download was finished i extracted it, once done i have selected the application to open and once the application has opened it just plain black screen within the application. i dont see any errors nor menu due to black screen

First time running a Ren'Py game? If so, maybe there's some problem with your system, I would say Codecs missing. Also, GPU drivers up to date?

Peace

Press and hold the Shift key and launch the game, keep Shift held down till it starts. A menu should popup with some options to change the way the screen is displayed. See if some of the options work for you.

let me try that give me a sec
