The focus this time is on the management and printing of larger miniatures from STL Files. This means looking at the layout of parts and managing your time when it comes to getting these miniatures finished and onto a painting table.
Are you going to attempt printing something as big as the Arcadian Colossus?

That’s a fabulous space elf war engine John you could drill an pin the parts you could email them to recommend an add to the files about the best points for the figure.
Interesting build. The ability to modify the model’s pose seems like the biggest hurdle; the same goes for anything that size. Any sort of modification like mortise and tennon keying kills that. Since the limbs are mostly hollow some piano wire should suffice to hold them. Brass rod for the solid parts would give the support needed there. Heaven help the crazy bastard who decides to make it into a huge ball joint doll or try using rubber bands for posing like the what GI JOES worked off of. Go ahead and keep the Spaced Out Elves scheme you have… Read more »
When I saw this was about larger models I was hpping you were going to teach us a good way to deal with individual parts that are too big for your print bed, ie how to spit one stl in to two files that’ll still fit tigether once printed. That might be a useful lesson for the future. I know I have some files that are too large for my printer. I’ve downscaled one to 95% before, but you don’t always want to do that.
When I saw this on Raging Heroes’ promo video I was immediately tempted to print it. No idea where I’d put it – but that’s not the point. It will be interesting to see what other big models they start producing.
What colour ?
German splinter camo of course … 😉
