Hey all,
I would like to know if there are any STLs out there thatcan be printed on a filament printer? I dont have a resin printer and i wont until it becomes less messy (have owned a few and ended up selling them, too much work). I have a Bambu p1s and have been happily printing buildings etc. I would like to find stls from pre-dreadnought, WW1, WW2 and Cold war into 21st century. Anyone know of any stls compatible with fdm printing?

Ghukek Miniatures should work. Wargaming 3D is selling his files until the end of the month until they shut down.
I have done it with their files in 1/1800 and 1/700.
Thanks.

A mate of mine has printed them with a filament printer.

John Leahy. Wargaming 3D is shutting down or Ghukek Miniatures?

Wargaming3D the Stl website. Ghukek is ok. I'm a print vendor for him.

Thanks.

Also Lee McColl on MyMinifactory sells some very nice ship STL files. These print up in larger scales very nicely.

Thanks.

They have a large line of Pre-dreds and WWI ships and to e, they seem reasonably priced.

They sell 3MF files, but any decent slicer should download both STL and 3MF. I've used 3MF files on Baumbu, Prusa and Unlimaker Cura slicers

I have printed the WTJ ships on my Bambu A1 at 1/2400, 1/1800, and 1/1200 with good results using the 0.2mm nozzle

According to a note from Ghulek, he will continue selling on CGTrader.

John Leahy, thank you for making me aware of Ghulek. His models look fantastic, and with 450 models, there should be a lot of items to look through.

WTJ are beautiful ships. But you can't print them in FDM. I also sell much of their Predread range printed. I really like Ghukeks ships. I've printed a bunch up for me. I added Battle boxes to my store for several battles of WWII.

Thanks.
