And now for something a little more upbeat. This monster was created on our photon. Across 10 build plates printed at .02 and around 200 hours of printing this beast is assembled spanning about 17 inches at the wing tips 12 inches or taller not sure. This is a little bit larger than an ancient red dragon if you are familiar with that sizing. hero forge mini at foot for some scale
Edit: Mini Monster Mayhem or Lee Stansbury is modeler. Go support him on Patreon if you want pre supported. I chose to leave it at full size and support it my self and it was super easy being so big

He has multiple poses and multiple colors. But super easy to support

Do you have a picture of how you supported the head and body?
Alexander Bayerdorffer
2020-03-31 21:47:47
I'll get some photos of that when I get home from work

It's honestly the easiest thing I have ever supported because it's so big.

Alexander Bayerdorffer
true. But especially the head has a lot og the overhangs that I am normally struggling with, without creating too many supports and thereby destroying details
Alexander Bayerdorffer
2020-03-31 21:55:32
Yes luckily though I have ordered another so I don't have to wait when it dies. Although I have done like idk couple hundred hours before this one
Alexander Bayerdorffer
2020-03-31 21:56:53
I printed it nose up vertical of the plate. That way the teeth form 45 degreee angles and I don't have to support those fuckers. Barely any over hangs or loss of detail from supports if you make them like that youtube guys videos

Mini Monster Mayhem on Patreon is the guy that made the stl and he includes pre-supported files in his patreon since he test prints on a small resin printer himself.

Yeah I got this off my minifactory but yeah go support if you don't wanna support him the durgon

Use a paint brush. brush it on hold away from the light. hold them together hit the switch and move it in front of the uv light to cure it

He has more than one pose and more than one color dragon so choose that first

How much resin did you go through with that?
Alexander Bayerdorffer
2020-03-31 23:50:13
uhmmm. Not really sure? I can give you an estimate later
Jarrod Richards
2020-03-31 23:51:06
Alexander Bayerdorffer
no problem. Take your time. I was just curious if it took more than a half liter bottle lol

i figured lol
You’ll have to get updates when you get it painted
Alexander Bayerdorffer
2020-03-31 23:53:44
It's a gift for my DM for his bday so he will be painting it. Probably gonna print another for myself though lol
Jarrod Richards
2020-03-31 23:57:17
Alexander Bayerdorffer
well, you have the sliced files so I don’t see why not. That’s definitely a long project though. So far my biggest project is dice towers/storage

I'm definitely interested in final build costs too. I have to assume at 10 builds this is 0.5 - 1 liters of resin no?

This is great! Any tips on fitting? I can't print multi-parts because whenever I do, parts don't fit
Alexander Bayerdorffer
2020-04-01 07:14:22
I orient them in chitbox on my own rotating flipping etc and fit as much as I can. did both arms then both legs. body alone. neck pieces and tailpiece.rest of tail and rock. two wing pieces. I did have to slice the two biggest wing pieces tip off to fit it and print it seperate
Bruno Shepard
2020-04-01 07:17:58
Can i give you some cutting advice?
Alexander Bayerdorffer
2020-04-01 07:19:52
I didn't cut anything but the very tip of the wing. which I did in 3d builder. It's rather intuitive
Bruno Shepard
2020-04-01 07:24:28
Oh! I thought you made the mode using a 3d software

Is it the 100% size from the MMM OR did u scale it up
Alexander Bayerdorffer
2020-04-01 07:55:03
I got it off my mini factory and printed it 100% size

Yeah like I said. 200 hours of printing not counting assembly. be warned there will be gaps to the assembly and where the wings set in will need some dremeling or sanding. He didn't do a perfect job there. but once you do that use resin to be your glue

Oh for this model they did not fit well together 100% because the cutting job was not the greatest. I used resin between parts and cured them and then sanded and smoothed the joints
Mark Daniel Bandilla
2020-04-02 06:58:31
Ah I see
?
I thought I was only one having this issue. Thanks for the tip
