I had missed this earlier. Measure Metrics is the plug-in to take and report measurements, Figure Metrics (included but a separate package since it isn't a plug-in) is the tool that when run enables you to have DS attempt to match the given dimensions (depending on the morphs assigned to each active measure).
Yes it is, we met with people who ordered crappy single color models in standstone for even double the price point. When we started, our goal was always to get the pricing point to a degree that matches casted models but still be able to product high quality and on-demand collectibles, we are still working toward that goal, hopefully with the community's help we can reach to that point were we can produce really high end collectibles at a price point lower than what you pay for off-the-shelve products, we are not there yet but we are focused and determined to reach that goal.
and my thread got locked, news to me, no idea why

Yeah it is painful to 3D print at home (or even a shop)
you reminded me of all the days we spent trying to optimize our process, lots of blood, sweat and tears 
we started by building the tech that make the model printable and oh my it took us ages and then we had to build a production pipeline to get to this level of quality but I'm glad we reached this point and today is a big testament to all the hard work our team has put into it 
.
Okay, I'll be that guy. What are your restrictions regarding the theme of the model(s)? (eg. gore, nudity, etc.)
@th3Digit :P luckily we are not facing this issue anymore, you send a character to the printer and you end up with a nest.
It is all under our terms of use

ok - I will not post a deadly .stl file .... but I can´t be resposible for what the used plugin will upload ;)
Please, someone translate that Terms-of-use to some readable version !!
don't model a working gun in Hexagon and upload it
Not sure if this question has been asked yet, but how is this plugin any different then using MakePrintable? I know with MakePrintable comes with a monthly/yearly option vs. the plugins flat price. But I was more curious of in regards to the tech behind this plugin. Is it the same tech that is powering MakePrintable? Is there any restrictions from taking Daz figures to MakePrintable vs using the plugin?
Good morning all,
I’m very interested in this, but a few things are holding me back. So, some questions that I hope Gameprint can answer.
First, I really need 1/48 and 1/72 scale figures, so nothing like the sizes that are being quoted. We’re talking about a figure being maybe 1 to 2 inches tall. Is it possible to adjust the scaling?
Second, many of us prefer to paint our own figures. I mean, I find it fun. Could a non-painted option be considered?
Third, and I’m seeing some discussion of this but I’m still unclear (probably too much mead last night!). If we buy the plug-in, does that mean that the processed file can only be ordered through Gameprint? Or, can it then be downloaded in a common file format like STL by us to be printed somewhere else? That would certainly solve my scaling and unpainted option issues.
Fourth, if it can be downloaded and printed by us elsewhere, what would be the cost for Gameprint to process the design? I’m assuming there would be a cost, but what would it be?
Many thanks for your time and consideration.
Bob
The tech behind the plugin is an improvement to what MakePrintable currently offers and it is optimized for Daz content and works really well with it, we use an "ultra" quality repair that doesn't exist yet in MakePrintable due to the time it requires to get the file repaired and optimized for 3D printing and we built a whole pipeline from model to printing so it might not generally work with other 3D printing pipelines. I'm not sure whether Daz allow you to export the file and then import it to MakePrintable for fixing but we can't guarantee that you will get the same quality by fixing using MakePrintable, still you might want to try it out for home 3D printing.
It just seems strange to be charged for a plugin whose sole purpose is to provide the creator with an income stream. As far as I can see it serves absolutely no other purpose. So I pay you to enable me to pay you more? Interesting business model.
Now, if you provided the plugin to enable Daz users to generate files that could be used only by your company and made it free, akin to the Daz model... well then it would make more sense.
As it is I could only find a single price for ANY figure type, so it seems your pricing structure isn't even fleshed out yet. At first I had the impression that I'd have to buy the plugin to find out how much it would cost to use the plugin.
Thanks, but no thanks. I find the idea intriguing, but the execution flawed. Maybe after you get your act together and I see some feedback from some satisfied early adopters, maybe.
yes, you cannot redistribute any DAZ assets to any service for 3D printing. It looked as though DAZ was thinking of using makeprintable at one time or another, but apparently the current service is the one that got the licensing option from DAZ.
FYI all, We've updated the product page to include some indicative pricing, and to point out what the rights are on the 3D prints. Hopefully this can help head off some of the questions.
I'm heavily debating this now, because it sounds so promising to a plebeian like me, especially since our local tech co-op, though free, has 3D printers with months long waiting lists.
Plus, the paint jobs look amazing. But I'm curious: how will you be capable to keep the paint quality up if you get large influxes of orders?
Hi Bob,
Thank you so much for your interest
Below are answers to your questions
We are going to introduce custom scales later on and this is a feature that we are working on but painting a small figurine is more difficult than a 7 inch or even a 12 inch one so we want to make sure we deliver it when we are sure about the quality that we can ship.
Sure, we are going to offer primed prints ready to be painted as an option =)
Yes, it can only be ordered through GamePrint at the moment because it is only optimized to our production pipeline. We are considering to launch a download option once our tech is ready to deliver a solution for Daz content given the complexity of these models.
What you pay for the plugin is actually deducted from the first order as a 10% discount (you are actually saving on your first order). We decided to follow this path because processing files (not orders) is very resource intensive in terms of processing power and costly to run on the cloud so we wanted to make sure the plugin is only in the hands of people who are truly intersted in using the service thus we don't end up in a situation were we process tens of thousands of files and only print few because at the end if we are going to make sure we lower the final product retail price then we need to make sure we lower our expenses as well and this is a way of making sure we get you the best price possible instead of increasing the price on the actual customer's end in order to pay the cloud processing bills. Personally, I would rather charge customers $250 per print instead of distributing a plugin for free and then ending up in a situation charging $300 to make up for irrelevant server processing costs. does that make sense?
Thats a good question and being the CTO of the company then I will definitly love to answer it from my own prespective on how we do it now and how we envision it in the future:
Gameprint, thank you for the update. I appreciate it. When you're able to offer the scaling and unpainted options, I'll definitely be interested.
You know, one other option you may wish to consider is to do something like Shapeways does, allowing artists to upload "their" designs for sale to 3rd parties with a base price for printing and then a markup. Basically, each artist would have a store where they could upload designs featuring Daz content. That way, everyone would get paid and you and Daz wouldn't have to worry about the licensing issues. As long as everything on the model was Daz content, there wouldn't be any licensing issues (presumably), and the actual content creators via Daz would be compensated. Anyway, it's just something to think about. Lots of details there and moving parts, but if Shapeways can do it, it may be something to consider moving down the road.

Retiretomaul: except that is explicitly not allowed by EULA.
I think its brilliant, i know its pricey but so is any sort of collectible statue you might purchase and this is so much more personal. I mean i paid 60 bucks for a 1:6 scale statue of Doomhammer of Ogrim and that was for a very plain sort of sculpture. This is fantastic, I absolutely plan on printing something up once there are some smaller sizes offered up.
If you're providing gaming miniature scale (28mm, 1/72 and similar) I'm going to guess that most of the customers for that scale will want to paint the models themselves. I know I would. :) (For comparison, Hero Forge plastic 30mm figures run $15-$30)
While the current price of $250 is outside my budget, I do think that for a hand painted figure of that size, it is a great price, and completely worth the money.
Thank you for taking the time to explain. :)
One of the difficulties I imagine with this is that materials are a smaller chunk of the price than they are for mass market.
So you get the problem that the smaller the figure, the less a one off print is going to compete with mass production.
Welcome anytime =)
Thanks :D
Welcome anytime ;)
