"Making my Bambu Mini pay for itself" Topic

I originally bought it to make parts for scratchbuilds, tedious things like windows and such. I have since used it to print minis such as some 1/100 planes for a friend link and some 1/72 scale stuff for myself link
Then I spotted some STLs for infantry from the Middle Ages, these were conveniently broken down into kit form with separate arms, heads and weapons. As I already had TONS of spare bits from plastic kits I had assembles I just printed out the torso/leg combinations. I then just glues the spare bits on with normal plastic cement which worked perfectly

A step-by-step with links is here link

A dash of paint and they looked like right proper minis!

Those figures came out great. A great idea to combine the printed bodies and leftover arms and heads from other kits

Anton,

Thanks for this post. I too have an A1 Mini and I am constantly turning out figures. And yes, most of the time the prints are not competition worthy, but using the 3 foot rule they are completely acceptable.

And like you said, the cost per mini is pennies….

Very nice work thinking out of the box,

Dave

I had to lean into my screen to see the layer lines, and with the varied colors of paint applied, they are difficult to make out unless you get really close.

BTW, I love Slingers! One of my favorite units to have in my armies. Decent range, not bad for firepower, and light, nimble. What's not to love?!?!?!

Those are superb, IMO. I would not hesitate to field those on my table (better quality paint than what I produce -- LOL!). Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Nice work and a recycler to boot :)
