"Tell him he's dreaming" A classic line and so apt when talking about GW pricing in Australia and New Zealand.
Tell me about it.
The only reason that I have discovered NOT to hollow prints, is that if any resin gets trapped inside the hollowed volumes (like if you forget a drain hole or don't wash thoroughly) the model will eventually burst like a resin filled pustule and dribble resin on everything else in the storage location you've chosen. Like how a large snake zombie I printed turned into this ruptured gory nightmare and gave a good portion of my display shelf a thin but large puddle of resin that I had to wash off of the adjacent models. Glad I hadn't invested time into painting that one.
Glad that you covered this issue.
I printed a large ogre from Loot Studios (one of their earlier models), I didn't realize it was hollow until after I had painted it and one day saw it cracked in half on my shelf. Looking back at the file I found it came hollow without any drain holes. Failure on my part for not noticing, but also boo on them for not adding holes.
Hopefully that wasn't too much of a pain to clean up.
@@dakotahoker1922 yeah, a bit unfortunate there wasn't a warning saying "add your own drainage holes."
Awesome 😀 Just discovered your channel, great fun videos. I'm onboard 👍
Thanks man. Appreciate it 😁
Emang is incredible, his work is exceptionally good, I reckon the smaller models are challenging to support without scarring, rat army is for 3d experts, but I printed green guys (wink) and untidy fighters (wink wink) with zero problems going the process of Battle Brother Sam
Yeah I'm no expert but some of the goblins I did (not shown in video) had a bit of scarring. Nice!
When doing hollow I like to print with clear resin so when I cure it also goes through the model to help the inside
That's a great idea!
Emang is my main sauce for miniatures
My entire Orc/Goblin army is from Emang and they are AMAZING!
EmanG is great, but I also go in knowing that the models are designed for display and not regular tabletop use (thin spears, excessive spikes, etc.)
Are they pre supported?

I've just started building a Krieg army with free stl's as Forgeworld in AUD is nuts. Was surprised how good many of the stl's for them are. Running auto support with a few tweaks under Lychee has had awesome results.
I hope you have seen the Station Forge stl's, their Krieg proxies the Grim Guard are incredible. Huge line, constantly updated
Nice. Dkok are great. All the best with it!
Where abouts? I am just finishing up my first ever army, chose the DKOK :)
I went the same road and I had the same impression, incredible quality for in some free stls, just had to be picky to keep consistency among the army.
Any Chance you can upload the STLs? Emang is offline 😞
nicely done! part 2 please and painting video too! :)
Eventually 🤣 I’ve got so much to paint already.
Emang has a patreon where you can get their designs presupported. Not all their designs are presupported yet, mainly demons.
Check it out!

Warning: Greenskins and rat folks are not supported yet. They deserve the money anyway, but keep in mind that you won't find supported orcs in their Patreon if that's what you are looking for. But if you are looking for demons, join their Patreon and you will cry with joy when you see the amount and quality you'll find there.
@@Szandor_ Thanks, I've updated my comment.
Good high effort video, i'm only vaguely interested in 3d prints but this was a good watch.
Thanks 😁Glad you enjoyed it.
I have Valhallan Ice Warrior kill team and they look incredible.
With the prints cracking, I've experienced the same.
My advice with adding the holes to the models is to always add two!
Never just one, because it can create a vacuum/pressure build up during the print phase, but also makes cleaning out the inside harder. With two holes the IPA/water can enter one hole with air going in and out the second hole, allowing a full clean out before you plug the hole.
If it's not clean inside, it doesn't matter how well you cure it, it can crack. For whatever scientific reason.
It's just based my experience with it.
I've printed at least 1000 models by now.
I’ve never just done one hole but that’s been more by chance not an intentional decisions
Thanks for sharing
Emang’s sculps are awesome and well worth a look.
he didnt sculpte them, but exported from a game Total war warhammer 2. These models were sculpted by game developers. He is basically a thief.
Very impressive 👏...I might have to buy a 3D printer 🙂
I’ve been enjoying printing.
I’d suggest doing your own research on what will go into 3d printing. I’ve got a video on why 3d printing might not be for you.
All the best!
I'll be honest: I started 3D printing, with an Anycubic 4k mono, and I've had nothing but troubles. I have it in the basement, because I don't have anywhere else to put it, but it's in a grow tent, which has a mini space heater, on a thermostat, that shuts it off/on as needed, along with a air purifier to suck up any stinky VoCs (if I don't run it, you can smell it on the first floor quite easily). I tried with anycubic resin and I had such a hard time. I would import lychee settings for the resin I had, because I don't know or care to know what 99% of the settings mean. I just want to "press butan receive bacon". I want it to work like a regular paper printer. However, it's more like some cthluhu god, or a 25 year old car: first you have to make sure the bed is level, then you have to make sure the resin settings are good, and then you have to spend hours dialing in the settings to print the test print correctly, (you're already losing me at this point) then you have to make sure the resin is kept at a nominal temperature, then you have to make sure nothing stuck to the fep, and if something damages the fep, you can't really tell, my first fep had micropunctures somehow and it leaked into the screen, then you have to ALSO learn how to do supports, because all the cool free models are unsupported, and all the paid models are supported, and I have zero interest in paying for STL files to do all the other prerequisites. Most of them aren't cheap either, like $25 for a group of them and who knows if the person modelling it even bothered to print them, some of them have supports that are pre-supported but the supports are garbage you had to fix anyways. I was so excited to do 3D printing, my coworker got me it for xmas, and after futzing about it for a while I realized I hated it and would prefer to just pay someone else to do all that shit for me. My hobby is painting minis. I literally don't have time to pick up a second hobby unless I quit my job, and I have a decent paying middle class job. I'm also not very patient (outside of work), so waiting hours for even the supported models I got to fail because I was missing......something arcane and unknowable....doesn't strike me as a useful measure of my time. you ask someone online for help and you get 30 different answers. I wanted to like printing, because GW model pricing is absolute garbage. $35 for one model? Fuck you. $50 for necron flayers, and if you want a full compliment, that's actually $200. I can buy Stargrave minis for literally $1 a mini. They're not GW but they're reasonable enough, and way better than wizkid/bones/reaper bullshit.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience with 3d printing. It can be quite frustrating, particularly when things aren't working, I've been through a similar experience.
All the best with the mini painting!
@@Habes I wanted to use it like I see so many others do, but it was just too frustrating. Maybe in the future it'll be less obtuse to me
My 4500points of goblins is all this guys stuff I love them love him
Wow that’s a lot of points!!! Nice
Thanks man. I was looking at same box and no way I can afford it. Looked around most of day myself and didnt come across anything I liked. Then this video popped up out of nowhere and made my night.. Gonna give these a try.. Love goblins..
Glad I could help. All the best!
@@Habes Just got done printing my 4th set. Just used auto supports and not a single fail..
What slicer is that ?
Lychee
Does anybody know a good miniature source such as EmanG but for vampire counts/ soulblight gravelords/undead miniatures SPECIFICALLY?
Because I can’t find anything on Emang ( btw, thanks AJ for the comment)
I would check Archvillain's "Bloodright" or something by Bestiarum miniatures.
I have to 2nd @computermakes on Archvillian's STLs.
Not free but Highland Miniatures, Titan Forge and ClayBeast Creations all have cool vampire/undead in their ranges
Any chance that you can link the software that you used to hollow? I heard the name, but I am spelling it wrong. 😅
mango3d.io/downloads/
No worries
This video in awesome
Thank you so much! Were those Valhallan Warriors 3d printed?
Yes. I’ll have to look at the creator. Ghamak and RedMakers are my favorite myminifactory creators
Would emang be up for uploading your supported files?
Emang has a bunch of files supported already, just sign up to their Patreon.
I've put a link to Emang's patreon in the description.
Gotta love photon for auto supporting all stl files. Only failed maybe 1 or 2 prints ever and that's due to improper settings
Hi do you sell any of your 3ds minis
Not at this stage. I've been looking into it, but haven't found a good way to market it yet.
Hahaha, most of the free 3D models come from Total War Warhammer game.
Yes you certainly can for orks and space marines but if you want some obscure army good luck finding free stl’s…
Yeah, that sounds about right.
I haven’t done too much looking for other stuff.
Australian prices look like hell, holy fuck
and even worse for us across the ditch in NZ!
Aussies always get screwed. It's like we are the arse end of any production/distribution chain.
Yeah it's quite unfortunate, hence why I've got down the 3d printing rabbit hole.
I jonestly would rather pay 5$-10$ for a nice presupported model than spend 1h supporting a cheaper not supported one. I dont mind doing supports for small geeblies and bits, because it goes much faster.
Yeah I’m in that camp too now. My time is worth $$$ too.
Plus you keep the files forever, even after they somehow disappear
why not auto support
That's exactly what is shown in the video
well look out fore your part two of this the painting of be fun have like me s swimmmy swig so have fun painting tell nest time good MMXXIII
Hopefully I get around to it. So much printed, so much to paint XD
If anyone on this Planet should be official allowed from Games Workshop to Print warhammer minis, then Australians. The Prices are such a joke even compared to European.
🤣 maybe one day.
Not worth it imo. Low Quality Models for much more time invested and not for free either. If I can find good quality pre supportd proxies I love those and I print them out. I won't bother with unsupported low Quality Models. My Time is too valuable and it won't be a good deal.
Fair enough. Our time is valuable too!
Can I steal*
You are reported to gw btw
