@dnd My group made their way to the woodland manse this week. I don't think they were expecting Anchorites of Talos to pwn so hard!

@dnd My group made their way into Dragon Barrow last week.

@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?

@zhunk Acrylic paint is water based so it shouldn't even adhere really. I just printed it yesterday and haven't painted a lot so I'm unsure.

@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.

@dnd My party began exploring the Gnome kingdom of Gnomengarde this week as well.

@dnd A couple of weeks ago I showed part 1 of a dwarven ruin my party was exploring. Here is part 2.

@3dprinting Two weeks ago I showed part 1 of a dwarven ruin my DND group was exploring. Today I have a follow up. All 3d printed of course.

@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.

@tabletopminis I was told I should post here by @ReadyUser31

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.

Ankhegs - Monster from DnD
Dearven Ruins, from DnD module Dragon of Ice Spire Peak.
Loggers Camp from DnD module Dragon of aice Spire Peak.

@Canopyflyer Awesome! I'll have to check it out. I've been painting them with the cheap sets of acrylic paint from Michaels.

I've seen a few tutorials and they spend as much one like 1 paint color as I did on a whole set.

@dnd Another night of DND! My players made their way to a hilltop where half orcs were summoning a giant monster!

There were runes, twig blights, and giant thunder boars! All tokens were printed and painted by me.

@VentraSqwal I bought a double sided set of 3 or 4 off Amazon for a good deal.

@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

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

@lodronsi yeah! I have a few offers to buy paint and filament, so they must have!

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

@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!

Here is a video that compares cheap craft paint from Walmart to miniature paint.
