Feeding algorithm with a like and a comment! When I started the video and saw that enormous screen of models that you were going to discuss, I thought 'this fella's been feeding the pile of shame' 😆 Looking forward to seeing you put colour on them so be sure to share on pixelfed!
I had mine for a whole year before I really started to get into it. There's a small learning curve but once you've printed a few things successfully it should up your confidence. Do a little research and take your PPE seriously and you'll be fine.
I'm a 3D modeler. I've been curious about printing out stuff to kitbash 40k. I have ideas for specific models, custom heads, helmets, stuff like that. I don't have a printer yet, I'm wondering how people make sure the scale is correct? I don't really plan on printing out whole figures, but it would be fun to make my own stuff.
I'm jealous! I used to mess around with 3D modeling, but not as much these days. I did make a replacement flamer cover for those Space Hulk space marines last year which I didn't mention in this video. That's about the extent of my skills though. As for scale, the slicer program will show you the dimensions of the model in a unit of length, and you can adjust the X y or z scale independently or all together. If I'm trying to match something up in real life I will measure it and then match that in the slicer program. Sometimes though you just need to print it out and then check it and if it is still off go back to the slicer and rescale a little until you get it right. At least that's been my experience. EDIT: if you can model your own stuff you'll have unlimited options to make your own custom kit bash components which ought to be really fun. I hope you get into it.

Heh, I couldn't help it! Thanks for the support. I'll be sure to keep my pixelfed updated.
Damn, that's a lot of miniatures!
I know, right?
I’ve had my 3D printer for almost 2 months and haven’t printed anything. I really need to get over the fear of it and get some models printed.

@ Oh danggg lol at least I know now I’m not alone with this feeling thank you!
