Agreed. Decent printers are getting cheap. I just got one for my son for xmas. It is worth investing in one.

Cura is okay, but if you have some extra money - Simplify3D is an excellent program. I have not regretted investing in it. Simplify3D

Looks very nice! What's that thing to the left of the dragon? A pile of bones!

drwillsdc - I checked out your "Crom... I'm trapped in a dungeon" thread. Nice work btw. I dont think my tiles would be compatible with yours d/t I designed them to be compatible with Dwarven Forge tiles. Yours are based off the 1.5 system. I sent you a PM.

Thanks for the compliments! drwillsdc - the biggest outlay is the initial molds you buy. After that, resin is fairly cheap. You can get it at your local Micheals or Hobby Lobby using the 40% off coupon for about 12$. Clear resin is about the same. I use Aluminite RC3 for most of my casting. It sets quickly in about 7 minutes and you have a 2-3 minute work time with it. I like it because the viscosity is very thin which makes it easy to pour and for air bubbles to escape. For clear resin, I use the slow setting stuff - no particular brand name. Just whatever is the cheapest. Miles - Mold making is fairly easy, but messy! I didn't use any special silicon except what I found at my local Hobby Lobby. I made a mold box out of legos, hot glued it and the piece I wanted to make a mold of and then poured the silicone mix. I did not do anything special to the object I was molding. Its really quite easy, just messy. Here is a great tutorial. Some before pictures on the lava tiles: Pre-painted and clear resin. Painted with clear resin tinted for lava. Most of this stuff I sell on Ebay. Especially since I started with 3D printing.

Since I bought my printer, I have been primarily printing Dragonlock tiles. It's been a learning experience. I picked up a davinci 1.0a fairly cheap as a learning printer. The stock software sucks and I purchased Simplify3D - great investment! I use ABS for my tiles, though I am planning to switch to pla soon. Printing the tiles is easy, its the painting part hat kills me! Painted Partly painted Freshly Printed
