I do sometimes wonder how long the list of requests he's got is.

Over 100 different classes of ships and squadrons if I had to guess!

Probably even more than that ?

Don't forget units, vehicles and props for Legion. The list is big.

I only put one thing on it though - and I dare say it was there before I said it anyway ?

Foba, I see you are printing on a CR10, what angle do you print your ships at? do you slice them even with the horizon or angled up?

I print them at 90 degrees, nose up, engines down. Or the other way around for some. Depends a lot it the nose is detailed or not . ?

I generally do 60 and get some good quality. Nose up of course https://imgur.com/a/ouD1Ir4

Niceeeeeee,

been dabbling with the babylon universe too, after I get everything printed. where'd you get your hands on that T'hnor ? My files does not slice properly. That and t'loth...

In my experience, only one side gets good quality if you use that angle, maybe I was mistaken?

the bottom doesnt have to look good to sit on my table... The Th'nor and T'Loth are tricky files to manage but after learning some basic modeling and investing in some tools I get them running well

well well, at 15' angle the th'nor seems to slice properly. Well almost. The gremls at the side manifold seems to leave some gaps that are filled with support material :(

I would otherwise use tinkercad to fix it but the files fails to load because they are on the big side...

What do you use for fixing them?

Niceeee, really jelly over here.

I got netfabb but got irritated on it already during install so i deleted it. Gonna try and see If i'll try to get blender or meshmixer to fix them.

I also got those, everythings .3ds files so the process of converting and resizing takes a lot of time. That and painting and a million other small projects ?
