@3dprinting This may not be the best example, but I have been 3d printing for about 2 years. Only recently however have I combined it with my other nerdy hobby, DND (Dungeons and Dragons). I may not be the greatest painter and not everything here is painted, but I'm very happy with the results and clarity of my prints. Everything here I printed.

Printer: Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro
Filament: 3DHoJor

Can you recommend any STLs?

BriteMinis has supportless minis, perfect for FDM printers. Here is an example:

How do you print the floor tiles? I have the same two hobbies but I've been focussing on minis. The one tile I tried just came out like a flat square with some circles on top. Been meaning to try putting them vertically though. Also, what nozzle size did you print 'em with?

@versus I use the standard .4mm. as for the tiles I use anything compatible with open lock.

You only have 2 nerdy hobbies? What's it like to have all that extra money? I kid of course. Filament gets expensive quickly.

@TopShelfVanilla I should have said my one of my other nerdy hobbies! Lol. My wife wishes I only had one.

Mine calls me a hobby spider because of how I keep catching and half consuming new ones all the time before cycling back to some other thing hanging from my web. Lol
