Great stuff !!
Approximately how long did that take to print all of that ? Russ Dunaway |

I forgot Russ is into buildings, we talked about that at Fall In 2022. |

As I suspected I will assume then ? Russ Dunaway |

Having just gotten into resin printing figures, I'll have to move into buildings next. However I have a small print plate (Mars 3 pro). It seems most people cut their buildings into 200x2200 chunks, or use a big FDM printer. I'm curious what you, as a building designer, think about the best way to print such buildings. |

sorry for delay answer. Not a daily visitor.
@OldGlory I use 10 printers, so the time factor is uninteresting to me. Of course, such large buildings sometimes take 50 hours or more. @jgawnwe for 28mm scale buildings I would always recommend FDM printing. Especially with the small resin printers you have a lot of small parts in 28mm, because the model has to be completely disassembled. then in the end you have something like a model kit again, which i don't think can be the point of 3d printing. When buying a 3D FDM printer, I would always advocate a print bed of 300x300mm. you are on the safe side and can then print 28mm buildings uncut. my buildings are always divided into floors so that you can play inside. today there are such great cheap printers with a large construction area. |

Excellent. I have to say, 3D printing looks like the future- I'm not sure how I feel about that as I like and enjoy the durability of metal. My Just Add Water Miniature Painting Blog:

That is a couple hours work --at most-- in tradition resin casting. Russ Dunaway |

@OldGlory
the difference – with resin casting I have to put hands on molds and models. Printing runs alone …. |

With a day's work I would have dozens of these buildings and would not need 10 machines?? Russ Dunaway |

@OldGlory
my clients primary are 3d printer owners, they buy my files. I have my printers for testprinting, not for producing.
In past I casted my ranges in resin, happy now, that this is my past….. |
