What 3d printer do you use? I have a resin and have been looking into filiment. Can you suggest any?

I use the BambuLab X1C and A1-Mini, I love them. All of their printers are very well regarded.

Is there a way you can provide full size dimensions on your prints , or I can figure them out?

Luis Albero · December 19, 2024

Good feedback. Its not so difficult to look at the bed, but as it comes with head separately or other pre-supported pieces, its difficult to know its size. Then I could easily decide if I wanna go 100%, or 80% for example, to match all others I already printed, or easier to know if it fits on any diorama I am creating.

quick question. I joined in the last few days of November. Do memberships auto renew or do I have to go through the sign up process each month to remain a member and be able unlock the recent posts?

It looks like you subscribed on MyMiniFactory Tribes. That is where you will have access to the posts and content. Tribes is an alternative to Patreon. The memberships are independent of each other, but I release all of the same content on both platforms.

So cute! I am printing one of these for every one of my son's friends

I love this design, and can print a pretty decent polar bear on the Bambu X-1 and the A-1 mini; alas, the Santa hat will just not print without a lot of pink bleeding no matter how I orient the head, or even with using a flushie item. Ideas?

I feel like that's right up his alley. Definitely need an Armadillo!

MagnuzX · November 28, 2024

Nice one, reminds me of the coke Christmas bears. One question, will you ever consider adding belly pieces to upcoming models to avoid having the flat underside? I saw other models doing this and it really improves the visuals on the prints. Thanks!

FYI, when the non hat Polar bear is scaled down to 72% and under, the one eye highlight disappears. I did not check the Santa hat version.

makmillion · November 29, 2024

It's the same on the Santa Hat version.

I am strongly considering joining your paid subscription. If I do, how many of your creations will I have access to? Or, how far back will I be able to go? Thank you so much! Your art is amazing.

MatMire Makes · November 27, 2024

Hi! I break down the perks pretty thoroughly in the Tier descriptions. I suggest giving them a read. The main gist is, you get this month's releases and last month's releases, some bonus files, and discounted past releases.
