Yes, my post says that they are resin.

Then the unhelpful gatekeeper on Mastodon was not only extremely rude, but also talking complete nonsense.

Thanks.

1 length unit on the model is 72 length units on the real object. Figures are about 2cm tall.

But resin printers also seem like they are 10 times as expensive. Which is why I am asking if anyone can help me to find out how detailed PLA actually gets at that scale.

(I've been informed that I had been told complete BS by the person trying to tell me that resin printing 1:72 wargame minis would be stupidly expensive. As such, my question here is no longer relevant.)

I am considering the option to get back into miniature painting by starting with 3D printing my own custom figures.

Given the price difference, it would have to be plastic (I read PLA is a good option), and for my purposes it would mostly be 1:72 scale figures.

The deciding factor is whether at such a small scale PLA can achieve a level of detail that doesn't look completely terrible. I'm used to 1:72 injection mold figures, and my previous paint work in the past was always so thick that much of the detail present on those would disappear anyway. So I'm really not looking for much.

But looking for existing images of such prints is very much not search engine friendly and I mostly just come up with Chinese soldier figures made out of some mystery material or figures of unknown scale.

Can anyone help me to find some reference pictures of 1:72 PLA figures so I can take a look if this level of detail is acceptable for me?

The amount of work for what used to be a checkbox is ridiculous.

But thanks.

I always had the tabs bar below the address bar and bookmark, where they obviously belong, until I recently reset firefox and now I just can't figure out how to get them back to their correct position.

How do I get the tabs between the bookmarks bar and the main browser window again?

Now that's stupidly easy.

Explains why there are no guides for it to be found anywhere. :D

I would like to change the favicon for the instance I've set up.

I installed Lemmy using ansible, so I am currently at a loss where even Lemmy is installed on the server. Where do you need to put the file to make it recognized and used by browsers?

And it's a good one.

He has lightsabers, he knows how to use them. And it being post-80s Star Wars, I guess they had to needlessly overexplain everything.

I'm gonna repost Star Wars memes from other sites until a moderator tells me that reposting Star Wars memes from other sites is forbidden here. This is a place to let people share Star Wars memes from around the internet, if I am not mistaken.

One of the many things I like about Star Wars is how much of the background stuff is still inspiring.

I think one of Star Wars RPG books in the early 2000s ran an ad campaign with shots of crowds in Star Wars scenes, with an arrow "What's this guy's story?"
