More mucking about with my Bambu Mini; Sharpe's Rifles now serve the Imperium?

 

it even sort of looks like Sean Bean

       The other day J&R told me that he had gotten STLs for a 40K Guardsman unit styled after the 95th Rifles, yes those 95th Rifles of Sharpe's Rifles fame. He doesn't have a 3D printer right now and doesn't want to deal with the chemicals and odors of the resin printer that is the recommended manner of printing the files. I told him that I had been having excellent results with my Bambu Mini (after a few tweaks). I suggested that we try printing a few of the files just to see how they would look coming from an FDM machine.

         I confess that I wasn't thrilled to see that the mini was broken down into several parts as tiny bits are a bother to handle while removing supports. After some fiddling with the orientation to reduce supports to a minimum we gave it a try. You see the result above. the shoulder joints need to be cleaned up a bit for a tighter fit but, that aside, it came out very well. At a cost of roughly three cents per mini I can afford to make adjustments to get the very best print possible.
