Having printed a few minis successfully, I decided I wanted to tackle some terrain. After glancing through the “Terrain Essentials” by Mel Bose (I was a backer), I was inspired by some of his great ideas for simple basing.

First off, Printer and settings:

Anycubic Photon Zero

Resin:                                    Anycubic Skin Water Washable

Layer Height:                     0.04mm

Layer Exposure:                9.5 Seconds

Base Layers:                       6

Base Exposure:                 47 seconds

Base Lift Height:               8mm

Lift Height:                          6mm

 

The models were pretty large, and, with such a small base plate, I had to scale the models down slightly – typically between 75% and 85%. At this level they were a good size and fit most games. I will print a couple at 100% or , possibly, larger as scatter for Endor terrain.

I used CDs/DVDs as the bases and added some cork floor tiling to add some undulations. Once the glue had dried, I used some wall filler (spackle I think its called in the US), to smooth off the edges of the cork and add some texture. I let this dry a little (so it moved around a little less), then used a wet finger to try and get rid of the rough surfaces.

And that’s where I am right now. Next up I hope to get these painted.
