Articles to print in 3D - Lizardmen / Seraphon

Norba Miniatures is a Spanish company that has been having problems with customers since it does not deliver the products it has sold on its Patreon, scamming a lot of people

The problems range from not delivering what you have buy to responding badly privately to the same customers.

The problems have even reached the Norba sculptors themselves to whom pays misery and practically exploits them., who have distanced themselves greatly lowering their product quality.

The last and most controversial case has been that of scamming the Spanish Youtuber Mayorcete from Mundo Warhammer, who deserved it for being too proud to think that it would not happen to him, and naive since knowing the reputation of the company comes to make business deals.

Regarding Raven Twin Miniatures, which is also a Spanish company, it seems that it has been taking the same path as Norba by being late with the delivery of its material.

He does not treat his clients badly or insult him like Norba does, but he has earned a reputation for plagiarizing other sculptors, either from the style of sculpture as you will see what has happened with the Chaos Dwarfs and Lizardmen of Lost Kingdom Miniatures, even using chainmail designs from Arc3dstudio without permission, with whom he had a rather contentious discussion.

-

In any case, you can investigate a little more about the complaints that both companies have been having by visiting each one's Patreon, or the negative comments they have on Facebook.

My recommendation is simply, be careful buying from them, but you make the final decision.

I can attest to what you have said about Norba. I was unaware of Raven twin having issues, but it does not surprise me.

For anyone who wants to know: I decided to remove KZK/Kurzlurk miniatures from my webstore, as

1. the detail on some of his models was extremely shallow.

2. I had reports of plagiarized models or parts of models.

So as far as shady 3d print file creators, there have been a few.
 
Just to add on to what Ge32 has already said about them copying other creators, Raven Twin miniatures has received a lot of criticism for tagging some of their models with the names of other creators on MyMiniFactory to get more exposure.
Here is an example. It is tagged 'artisanguild' and 'titanforge', so any time people search for either of these creators, this model will show up as a result.

I have also heard bad things about the quality their presupported files, but I cannot personally attest to that.

I have two responses to your post:

1. The tagging you mention is SEO or search engine optimization. He's trying to get more clicks on his MMF product pages. Its scummy, and he really shouldn't be tagging other creators that have nothing to do with his work unless its a collaboration.

-----

2. pre-supported files in general are a snake oil product.

Everyone printer is different. I don't care if you and I both have an Elegoo mars 2 pro. Mine is going to produce different results to yours. the following is a list of reasons why. If you see a number stated in the form of a question, it is rhetorical.

1. physically being a different unit, even if it has the same everything and it is functionally the same machine, parts are weird on an individual basis.

2. Do you have a screen protector on your LCD? the MM of height difference sometimes requires calibration.

3. local differences. Room Temperature, air temperature (because they can be different.) Air flow. is the machine in an enclosure, etc.

if you are going to be 3D printing and want to get longevity and safe use out of your machines, don't use pre-supports.
 
Starting a new project, which I have dubbed the Soteth (combination of Sotek and Dracoth). Inspired by an image of someone's custom HQ model I found.
This is the VERY early stages, but should be an interesting model! I will be using it to replace a Carnosaur.

excellent models. stegadon and priest guy in the back look like something i might pick up from another vendor at some point.
 
Hi!

I've made some 3d printed reminder cards as I have the memory of a goldfish and I keep forgetting to add my buffs when shooting/combat unless I have some kind of reminder. I started to use simple post-it but I know how to 3d model and I have a 3D printer so might as well use it and share it!

I only made the ones that take effect later in the turn. IMO, no need for such reminders for instantaneous effects like the ScarVet command abilities.

I also made some CP tokens as I don't trust myself with a counter die. I usually use it to chant a prayer or knock it over and lose count... Tokens are the way to go for me.

Blazing Starlight

Finest Hour
Great Drake Asterism
Hand of Glory
Herald of the Old Ones
Hunter Steed Asterism
Sage's Staff Asterism
