F&IW outpost
« on: June 24, 2019, 06:13:41 AM »
Finished painting the 3D printed outpost I got from Thingivers: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1772033

Had to take some pictures with my minis.

you can get the files from Thingivers for free but the developer could always use some support: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1772033

As for cost/time comparison. I estimate it cost about $40 worth of material, took 80+hrs to print, and about 3-4hrs of actual labor. While I could have done it all manually for a bit cheaper my current life situation would have meant the project would take a year instead of weeks. Working full time in the armed forces with a 4yr old and 2yr old boys, my hobby time is very limited. Printing allowed me to do other things while printing like spending time with family, at work, or painting other projects. Buying a resin kit would have the same time saving effect but would have cost well over $100USD.
