@3dprinting Hey everyone. I recently went to a miniature store to pick up some more premium paints for my miniatures I'm 3D printing for DnD. While I was there I saw a really nice paint cup for brushes. I knew I could get a model offline so I didn't buy it and instead opted to print one. I found a really nice one, but it lacked that little extra something. So I modified the original design and added the DnD logo. I think it turned out really nice.
What do you guys think?

@Bitswap they are that visible because it's a functional paint cup that I printed in a day. I use the same printer and settings on my other models at slower speeds and it's much better. Also that's a multi-colored filament that may be affecting it too.
@Mautobu yeah all my prints are fdm. All my paints are cheap Michaels bulk sets. I might be upgrading those to something specific to painting miniatures soon.
I'm new to painting miniatures, but I've been playing DnD for a long time. Recently I've been 3d printing and painting my own miniatures. I'm not great at painting and unfortunately I'm trying to keep pace with the campaign I'm running. Here are some examples.
@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.
@dnd Last night we ran part two of a campaign I'm running and while some pieces are still unpainted I'm overall very happy with how my abandoned temple looks. There were some secret passages but at this point they were hidden so not displayed here.
@dnd running the Dragon of Ice Spire peak, when my group came upon the logging camp. I printed the models in my 3d printer, paint them, and try like hell to have a functional set every other week for our game.
Salutations from a complete novice. What's your recommendations to get started?
Note: A FLGS in town actually has a mini-painting workstation that you can use for $5/session, or as part of their monthly subscription for playing TTRPGs onsite. Since I play PF2E there several times a week I have that subscription. So I have a place to paint that's already kitted out with just about anything you could need for mini-painting. (I think they charge extra if you want to add stuff like grass, sand, etc. to the mini, but the primer, paints, sealers, etc. are all included.)
I have two awesome minis arriving soon that are unpainted, so I'm looking for online sites/videos that start from "I know nothing" and work up from there.
Thanks in advance for any and all guidance you can provide!
