I printed another bed and painted it tan blanket instead of green and I also washed it first before highlighting.

Why do I lose detail in the sheets when printing like this? I don't really feel I lost any. I printed it as it is sitting now in the photo above. I'm actually very pleased with it And I'm a picky person When you print very slight slopes you can often see the layers very clearly. Printing it in a different orientation can reduce that effect. I guess it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine. Of course in practice, probably nobody's going to see the difference unless they really look for it.

I'll have to do as you suggested and print it again to see what you mean. Thanks.

Model can be obtained at: www.thingiverse.com/thing:1707266My favourite material for puddings, slimes and similar stuff is construction foam. It is dirt cheap, easy to use, durable, creates random and organic shapes that are simply fantastic. You can scale it up to truly epic proportions, it takes paint well... just awesome stuff! I've done a lot of monsters that way (see the links at the beginning of this post). Heck, you can evan make a giant turd and throw it your party's way! Not literally, of course. Not saying I don't like that the 3D printed pudding, but I would use a printer for other things.

Flaming Skull
(Shapeways STL Download) Flying stand made of bbq skewer, e600, hot glue gun, 3D printed base & epoxy putty. Looks awesome at an arms length away. This is pretty close up. Based entire skull / flames with Reaper Bone White -- three coats. After that dried did a couple strong coats of Army Painter Soft Tone wash. Based the flames Americana Citron Green. Dry brushed citron green to skull and ridges of skull face. Dry brushed on Americana Moss Green on the tips. Then darkened up Moss Green with some black and did the highest point /tips. Eyes are brown, red, orange to yellow in the middle. (Red Flame Eyes.. green flame skull.. like the 5E MM).

Started on the Spectator. Still need to paint stand and the mini. I might redo the entire body paint. Tried basing with browns and then drybrush greens over it to act as slime but didn't come out like I thought it would.. I dunno it's growing on me. What do you think? I am just sharing this photo now to share how I did the flying stand. Completed paint job will be done tomorrow most likely. Flying stand is bamboo skewer hot glued to 35mm 3D printed base. I then did a coat of 2 party epoxy putty over the hot glue -- hope this makes sense and works out ok.. seems to full the flying stand I did for the Flaming Skull (above). I am really quite pleased with some of these 3D printed models. This cost me like 25 cents to make. Cheapest Spectator I see on ebay is like $40 -- I don't understand because they aren't all that big (35mm base shown in photo below).

Finished the Spectator. About 50 cents total including paint. [EDIT: Designed a customizable flying stand base in OpenSCAD. The bamboo skewer is a friction fit, and I just super glue it in. So easy.. no more bulky putty (and time). I just made the OpenSCAD file available for download on thingiverse.com: www.thingiverse.com/thing:2002757 ] Compare above (50 cents) with the following Spectator mini you can buy off ebay for $50.

It looks awesome! I really dig the eyes, they look better on yours than on the other one. Could you share that model? I'd like to print one myself

I'd like to print one myself www.shapeways.com/product/ZNLQD8Z64/spectatorThe STL file needs some fixing. The front half, that piece doesn't sit flat on the bed.. it's like elevated a 1/2 mm or so.. causes the print to fail. I had to fix it with meshmixer. Thanks For the eyes, I was inspired by the following photo: EDIT: The colors I used for eyes: For the whites: Parchment; Pupils: black; Iris: Americana Honey Brown.

Damn, the official Spectator is actually going for $50? I have one of them. I would gladly sell it and print my own. I prefer your painted spectator over the official anyways. Good job.

Ditto; yours looks far better to me. And oddly enough, while the print lines are visible on all these models, they actually don't detract from them at all.

From arm's length (playing length), I can't really see any print lines at all. The closeup photos show them a bit, some models more than others.
