    Which is why I also said...

     

    Lots of details there and moving parts, but if Shapeways can do it, it may be something to consider moving down the road.

    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?

    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. 

    Thank you for taking the time to explain. :) 

    Welcome anytime ;)

    Ive been trying to test out the plugin by uploading a character, but my upload always hangs at 80 percent is this normal?

    It takes time to process depending on the complexity of the character, it might take 10-20 min or even more if the character is complex as we process the geometry and repair it for 3D printing.

    DING!

    First thing that came my mind was custom 3d printed game board pieces.  it be expensive, but could you imagine how great a custom dungeons and dragon game you could make . or how about a custom 3D printed wizard chest set . , prolly cost you $10,000 to have all the pieces made & painted.   I'd properly never want to play it because I'd be afraid it would get broke....lol    

  • MadaMada Posts: 2,043

    I am thrilled to see this - printing high quality pieces at the sizes you've shown is not an easy task and definitely not cheap, I've seen much lesser pieces unpainted at more expensive prices.

    Hi everyone

    i was lucky enough to "beta test" that plugin in and i created the "demon girl scene" showcased on the DAZ site (using "Tara 2" character from Kayless if you were wondering).
    I recieved 2 versions of the character, 7 inches and 12 inches.
    7inch is very good, hand painted.
    12 inch is exceptional, with toes carefully painted wil they are less than 1 mm big.
     

    Thanks for the image Cecile - that looks awesome, I want one lol

    Can I use this to send a file to a friend to print with his printer? Or does it only work with the one company?  I want to know before I ask him if he can do this?

    Actually, acording to the very first post in the commercial thread for this, it $250 for the 7in figure. Which is still pricey but better than the prices above.

  • Should we be putting our model on a base before we submit? 

    Is there a place that offers some advice of what -not- to do? There's not much trial & error here for the price.

    Thanks!

    They are working on making smaller scale figures, and other finishes (including unpainted for those who want to paint the figures themselves) available.  Just not now at launch.

    Currently it only works with us but we will try to bring the full capabilities in a way you can use it with your own printer or with someone else printer.

    It will look great and btw I might be possible to produce lower quality game board pieces that still look decent without the hand painting part, this is something we will also consider in the future but it will be reduction of the cost in exchange of quality but then you won't be afraid to play with it I guess smiley

    It is optional as you can request us to add a base for your model during the checkout process. We are currently working on an FAQ page but don't worry when submitting an order because it will be reviewed and if there is anything that can be enhanced or need to be fixed then we will let you know and we wil keep you updated during the process of producing your print.

  • I seriously respect the responsiveness of the GamePrint team here. That goes a huge way to building trust. I'm looking forward to customizing a model for you to make for me.

    cheers!

    Even without the plugin you can't send Daz files to a friend, against the EULA

    Thanks again nameless hero smiley

    I must say this is very exciting and your products do look fantastic! Plug-in is now in my cart! smiley Though I doubt I'll have anything ready on time before the free shipping expires. But at least I won't have to contend with customs charges! Happy days! Wishing you the very best of luck with this service. I think in time it will prove to be invaluable to some of us.

    Thanks :D 

    See, this is why I love this forum.  I ask a question, go to bed, and wake up to find more or less everything answered. :)  Thanks to both GamePrint and Mike from Mixed Dimentions.

    I'm probably going to wait for the smaller prints to become available before I order any.  Both for budget reasons and because 7" is still a bit on the large scale for my tastes.  (more specifically, I'm not going to have $250 to spend before the discount/free shipping is up.)

    Good morning smiley and thanks, we will push other options as soon as possible

    I think this is a very cool service, for those who are interested in it. I think mostly all of my questions have been asked and answered already. So, the only thing that I didn't see was... what will payment options be like? Is Paypal accepted?

    We currently support Stripe and we are going to have Paypal in few days

    I need to wait those few days as my bank will almost certainly freeze any overseas credit card transaction as suspicious activity, they have even DAZ  and I have an enourmous amount of payplal payments go to DAZ!
    Paypal is allowed on my bank account.

    ...however at smaller sizes it is more difficult to preserve good detail.  Even so I don't see it falling below what Daz charged for the stock figures they had.(which were priced at something like 35 - 45$ which was still too rich for my budget).

  • Hey GamePrint -
    Got a question - What method do you use for 3D Printing our models? FDM? SLA? DLP?

    I am curious as I am looking to make a handful of Hero Minitures for 28mm wargaming/RPGs. Providing that you support that scale.

    I am curious as I am looking to make a handful of Hero Minitures for 28mm wargaming/RPGs. Providing that you support that scale. 

    It depends on the scale and quantity, typically for a single small sized print job we use SLA but for bigger and more quantities being printed at the same time we relay on DLP, both with a high resolution of 25 micron.

    We don't currently support that scale through the checkout process but it is planned and being worked on, hopefully we will be able to introduce it sooner than later
