3D Printing & Painting Contest: FDM Appreciation Month! First prize is a 3D printer from Elegoo!

I ran out of time. My replacement parts where late and I wasnt able to print in time. :(

This one was a challenge! I went with one of my favorite enemies I've ever fought - the King of Feathers! I decided to remix the T-Rex into a new King of Feathers since the one under the ToA folder isn't very FDM friendly and I liked the added sculpting on the updated T-Rex. https://imgur.com/a/lOpDLFV

I painted Turtlebro! Aka the Zaratan. This was a fun challenge to work with, and is one of my largest prints ever. https://imgur.com/gallery/2guVJQI

This was a fun one, trying to get things to pop a bit on a creature that's portrayed almost always as just an inky black nothingness. I present: the Mothman https://i.imgur.com/gafO3Pv.jpg

Here are my two favorite FDM models. I will admit it was MZ’s models that inspired and led me to get a resin printer, even though I did get my FDM machine doing them fairly well. https://imgur.com/gallery/8K7BQmS

Attempted to get a Metallic Sentinel run off for this one but wasn't able to get it to print without breaking, so decided to finally paint the Undead Dragon I had run off some time ago. Went for a recently deceased look, came out better than expected. Printed on my Ender 3 Pro, using Hatchbox filament at a .12 layer height and paint with Master Series Paints.

So excited to paint this miniature. This was my first time painting a mini and I had so much fun. Thank you so much for making these models accessible, it made getting into the hobby so much more accessible for me. Something about the wings and scales of Kukulkan stood out to me. Anyways, here it is :3 - https://imgur.com/gallery/RkiWdlS

I have decided to enter Tyr: Norse god of war and Justice that was created last week. https://imgur.com/gallery/nPAq28Z I just finished painting it about an hour ago. Printed on a Creality Ender 3 pro.

This is my first time doing a miniature! https://imgur.com/gallery/LOrYduu

Here is my entry, an Ancient Red Dragon printed on my Ender 3 Pro. Many hours of cleanup and painting! Just finished painting it today. https://imgur.com/gallery/xECDIip

Had to go with a small one. Getting it cleaned and in one piece was a fight but I’m super happy on how this and its brothers turned out! https://imgur.com/a/4YJ1Dhz

Painted up a happy little Treant for a campaign I'm running. Added some flock for beard/brows/chest hair. In the campaign he lives in a cave connected to the Feywild and paints on the walls. https://imgur.com/gallery/UoA1UG9

I painted the tarrasque, that I printed on my creality ender 3 v2 https://imgur.com/a/BwSEW0m

Had a hard time deciding what to post. Kind of wanted to post my up-scaled Tiamat. She has a 24" wingspan! But saw several Tiamat's already, and I haven't finished painting her. So instead I give you the Elder Brain: https://imgur.com/gallery/hDavWPh

A somewhat rusty iron golem: https://imgur.com/gallery/MQ0sYbA Printed on my trusty Ender 3

My best print on an Anycubic Mega. https://imgur.com/gallery/vVn9RUL

https://imgur.com/SV70MAs First attempt at printing a mask and then Airbrushing it. very new at both of these but so happy with how it turned out :D Printed on an ender 3

https://imgur.com/gallery/8A6dMg0 Bob Moss having fun painting his Happy Little Trees, printed on a Ender 3 and hand painted. That Canva was quite a challenge!

Frost Giants for my entry... Hoping male and female version count as a single monster https://imgur.com/a/I98JJ8J

My entry, the unspeakable horror. Printed on a Prusa Mini+. https://i.imgur.com/wOHT49J.jpg

Argh. Just read the fine print and these are not FDM. Ah well... Regardless, keep up the amazing modeling!

Then Tiamat it is! 5 in 1 special :)

Let's go with the family portrait! (the second one)

Name that D&D module! It's either The Rise of Tiamat, or I'm casting for a sitcom about a blended Metallic/Chromatic family of dragons... https://imgur.com/gallery/QiuyRns

Took a few days to resin print, and them more than a few days to paint. She's a beast! (literally and figuratively) Tiamat! https://imgur.com/gallery/AghLVhJ

Aargh, printer hot end crapped out! Waiting on parts now, and after I finally settled on a model..

https://imgur.com/gallery/t0lBAbD I had originally wanted to show him off during a winter- themed (i think) contest, but I finished too late. He is my best model yet!

Honestly enjoy seeing things that anyone prints on an FDM. I could never get mine to work. Sold it and got a resin. You guys rock!

I've printed a remix of the Darkling Elder (I've removed part of his left arm) and decided to paint it as a "bandit" or rogue so the armour is dulled down as well as the colours for the cape. I absolutely love your minis but I find that often there aren't many options for amputees or "hurt" characters/monsters. https://imgur.com/a/PqHSNuX P.S. I'm a Patreon but I've no idea why it doesn't appear so, if you need it, I'll send you a screenshot of the billing details for July.

Me casually wishing I had an FDM lol

This print is my first miniature. I still keep it! When I started D&D, I saw an article that shows mz4250 is released a huge collection of miniatures. Immediately took an action and print the simple cultist. It was also my first attempt to paint a mini. I believe it was 4 years ago. Last week, just got my first resin printer and now I'm really excited! It's a small creature for me but Mega-sized creature for my journey :) https://imgur.com/a/3AMsemR

I printed this Ancient Red Dragon shortly before my Ender3 died. All assets from the base (dragon horde) were pulled from various files mz had laying around. https://imgur.com/a/aSd4guu

A couple of years old now, but I made this Demogorgon for my out of the abyss campaign. He is usually on my mantelpiece to perturb guests (especially the player whose level 3 druid he smushed) https://imgur.com/a/9f7wOk2

I’ll go with the shaman;)

And here is the rest of what I call the Gnoll Patrol: https://imgur.com/gallery/nPgNMNY

Gnoll Spearman https://imgur.com/gallery/yegsHTq

Gnoll Leader https://imgur.com/gallery/BLYSyEu

I loved the Gnolls and printed some of the older ones a while ago. Here is the Gnoll Shaman https://imgur.com/gallery/waJC13b

Earth Elemental, one of my first prints and still really love how it turned out. Printed with an Ender 3 Pro which still works excellent. For smaller and detailed models I would really love a resin printer. Great contest and good luck everyone! https://imgur.com/LuOKVIB https://imgur.com/Kt9I6l8

Adult Red Dragon Printed on Ender 3 w/ 0.4mm nozzle and 0.1mm layer height. I sure wish I had a better camera :) Thanks for doing the giveaway and thanks for everything you do for the community! https://imgur.com/a/VThGBpS

Dragon Turtle. Printed on an Ender 3 at .12mm layer height. https://imgur.com/gallery/P5cJbf9

Just curious, any rules about bases? Getting a print ready to go (one of your models) and looking into adding a different base (also FDM printed) to spruce it up a bit, just wanted to see if that's ok! If not, no worries, I can add the custom base later

My son and I have been printing and painting minis for a Frostmaiden campaign. Printed this Tomb Tapper which is our favorite so far. https://imgur.com/a/Y1aht9f

I present, after 120 hours of printing and another 20 hours of painting - Tiamat! https://imgur.com/gallery/XcWeJ1L

is rewarding a good fdm print with a resin printer supposed to be a hint? ;)

I may have to finally paint your green dragon I printed way back when. Although I've been getting a lot of use out of my FDM printer lately, printing the Spelljammer ship. That thing is huge!

Jumping in quickly on this one, I made a black dragon I loved using my Ender 3 Pro. These days, I'd probably have printed it on my Mars 3, but FDM was all I had at that time, lol. Working the supports out of the jaws was a pain, but I think it still came out great. https://imgur.com/a/Y2haVsd

Awesome! so many to choose from though!
