Title: Bzzzz Bzzzz
Post by: marianas_gamer on 27 August 2023, 12:28:28 AM: Some giant hornets that have been reported from the North Caspian Sea Coast. Rumored to have been some of the lastest creations out of Chairman Fu's labs.

There's some interesting things on etsy, the Mad Lord pointed me in their direction recently. The surface finish from these prints is far superior to the wwl planes I've had from Shapeways in the past.

Post by: FifteensAway on 27 August 2023, 10:55:56 PM: Hmm, can they be resized to be 'normal' 15 mm hornets!?!?! ;) :D lol

Seems something sinister is peaking out from the rocks on the left of the image...maybe an eyeball? ;D

I think you might have convinced me. I've been looking at some Ghouls from Etsy but they only show the Computer images and me being an old cynic thought the reason is that the actual prints aren't that good.

I'll send you the bill if they don't measure up. :D
Cheers

Most of the stuff on offer on Etsy these days is resin printed. Shapeways used to offer their services using filament printers (although they might have switched over since; I don't know, to be honest). This would certainly explain the difference in finish between the two.
