3D Printing & Painting Contest: The Underdark!
This month the theme for the 3D printing & Painting Contest will be the creatures that live beneath the world we adventure in. From the Drow, Duergar, Mindflayers, Ropers and more, this month will be for those that creep, plot, slither, or crawl in the deep, dark recesses of the realms.
To take part in this you'll just post your pic of your best 3D printed and painted piece below in the comments with an image url like imgur, instagram etc. The rules are:
One post and one creature per patron
Must be found in the Underdark
Use my files.
Remixes are welcome
You have until 23:59 22 May 2020 to post your pic below.
After 22 May I'll post a poll where you will decide who made the best piece. I won't vote unless a tie breaker is needed. The prizes are:
1st - A Custom 3D modeled, printed, & painted mini by me!
2nd & 3rd - A Custom 3D model
4th and beyond - A sticker by Jen!
I can't wait to see what you guys post! Don't forget the the latest Duegar and Drow options are in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes and Mindflayers are in Volo's Guide to Monsters. Good luck and may the best piece win!

That's an awesome remix. Makes me want to go back and re-print mine with someone getting eaten alive.

A simple remix of ours. Currently only labeled as "Greater Flumph", but that name may change with time. Printed on Snapmaker 1.0 using matte white filament and no primer. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/489110245633818656/712531850832379997/IMG_20200520_070636_BURST01_COVER.jpg
Elder brain! Had to "remix" the top because of faulty printing lol. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAZMwgFhZCI/?igshid=2gil20urr2ib
Hello. You need to run the tentacles under a hot hair dryer to warp them so they look like tentacles. They were never intended to look like pillars. You still have time! You should fix this up before the 22nd :)

The Elder Brain, thought he turned out pretty good. http://imgur.com/a/Ilb3c4Z
Noice!

I printed the Drider Queen V2 on Qidi 5.5s. Supporting was, interesting. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYbJaBJl9t/?igshid=fvb7dp69fkrs
I was wondering if the Party Flayer would count?
Sure!
okay folks. I printed a Hivelord Kruthik, printed on an ender3 pro. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAX4XTOne4S/?igshid=dco2fsrxau0v
Here's my submission printed on a Qidi Tech Shadow 5.5s, a death tyrant: https://imgur.com/jDC5MBo
Here is my submission of a minotaur. Printed on an Ender 3 pro. http://imgur.com/gallery/lB2lva9
Agh I was going to post my very first mini I ever printed and painted, a giant subterranean lizard, but I couldn't find it... Turns out I left it at my friend's house where we play D&D (Or used to pre-COVID). It is now missing a hand and all but one of its toes... The perils of leaving toys around a 3 year old :)
This is a good opportunity to learn meshmixer's plane cut, so you can reprint just the parts that need replacing and superglue them in place. Being able to recover failed prints this way is also really valuable, since you can reprint tough areas that supports destroyed (though obviously limbs are easier than bodies...)

Do the Demon Lord's from Out of the Abyss fall into this category?
Of course! They were in the Underdark in that book setting :)
