What Did You 3D Print Today?

It really depends on a lot of factors regarding the bed staying level over time, how often it's used, what temp ranges you're putting it through how much the machine itself gets moved, replacing the removable flexible build surface for easily removing parts. Not as though I needed to level my diy one made of acrylic and threaded rod every time but it was often enough and failed prints infuriating enough to justify the upgrade. With mesh bed levelling I just don't really have to think about it much anymore can treat the 3d printer more like a 2D printer just hit go and expect good results.

Gold one is pla actually printed yesterday, orange one printed out of petg cause a bit more flexible and less likely to crack also added some chamfers and fillets to smooth things out and make it easier on the printer without supports needed (also added hole to mount gps and compass stem)
 
Just a dry run. Placement of each model has yet to be decided.
These prints are not the ones I painted and posted before. These are newly painted today. Each one is less than 2 inches tall.

I am waiting for a shipment of "artificial" grass, rocks, gravels, etc from Amazon. Some of them may be useful to enhance the scene.
I might print more stone walls for it. I'll need to learn how to "wash" the stone walls to make them looking more authentic.
I have watch a few U-tubes about the pro painting their miniatures. Those people are crazy good.

Meet Pebble Flintstone
Size : 60% About 2.5 in tall.
That small model actually consists of 16 parts. Trying to cut out the eye brows and attaching them to the forehead was quite a struggle.

I forgot Pebble's "bone thing" on her hair...….

In Cura, under Experimental heading, there is a setting called Fuzzy Skin.

I tried it on a dog model. Not bad. Not exactly show stopping. It might be better served if used on something that required non-slippering feature, like a handle.
