The Wolves of Caliban
Problem Number 1 - Argh!
Having been painting away at the test peice I have grown more and more annoyed at the height difference between the base and the adapter I put round the side. The adapter was 3mm high whilst the base is about 2mm high and yes that 1mm difference was annoying me. So I returned to thingiverse and downloaded two more adapters to try with another figure. Today I printed out the two new adapters both of which registered 2mm high (with a 1mm base on one of them) on my printing software and the old one adjusted to 2mm high. Something went wrong with the prints and I got two disks out of the printer instead of 2 rings. Not sure what happened so I decided to re-slice the one that is more like a cup shape and it printed fine this afternoon. I was a bit dubious about a solid rather than a split adapter, but the miniature has dropped into firmly and isn’t coming out. There is a very slight difference in height, the outside is lower but it is easier to cover up with the basing materials than something that gets taller. Guess I need to get the printer busy printing my adapters.
For those interested I’m using this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3223936
