Yes, my post says that they are resin.

These are supposedly 1:72 resin figures. (No clue what printer, though.)

Look a bit rougher than injection mold, but for wargaming purposes this would be absolutely sufficient.

All in a row.

Then the unhelpful gatekeeper on Mastodon was not only extremely rude, but also talking complete nonsense.

Thanks.

1 length unit on the model is 72 length units on the real object. Figures are about 2cm tall.

But resin printers also seem like they are 10 times as expensive. Which is why I am asking if anyone can help me to find out how detailed PLA actually gets at that scale.

 

(I've been informed that I had been told complete BS by the person trying to tell me that resin printing 1:72 wargame minis would be stupidly expensive. As such, my question here is no longer relevant.)

I am considering the option to get back into miniature painting by starting with 3D printing my own custom figures.

Given the price difference, it would have to be plastic (I read PLA is a good option), and for my purposes it would mostly be 1:72 scale figures.

The deciding factor is whether at such a small scale PLA can achieve a level of detail that doesn't look completely terrible. I'm used to 1:72 injection mold figures, and my previous paint work in the past was always so thick that much of the detail present on those would disappear anyway. So I'm really not looking for much.

But looking for existing images of such prints is very much not search engine friendly and I mostly just come up with Chinese soldier figures made out of some mystery material or figures of unknown scale.

Can anyone help me to find some reference pictures of 1:72 PLA figures so I can take a look if this level of detail is acceptable for me?

Well, the issue is that it doesn't work on my Fedora 40 KDE computer.

[–] Yora@diyrpg.org 2 points 1 year ago

The amount of work for what used to be a checkbox is ridiculous.

But thanks.

So opinion here is that it's just a crappy browser?

[–] Yora@diyrpg.org 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Maybe. But if it's just a really crappy browser, then why do I see it being praised as a super-fast browser in several places?

 

I do quite like the look and use of Falkon and would gladly ditch Firefox for it.

But page load times seem pretty bad.

When I use the scrollbar to move a side up and down, it seems rather sluggish or even lagging.

And the Lemmy website interface does not seem to work at all in Falkon. It keeps loading for a very long time or forever, and once it loads the new content from a new page, it still displays the content from the previous page at the top. Falkon also makes these weird orange borders around the main area of any Lemmy page when I click anywhere inside it.

It feels like a broken mess, and since I don't think anyone would recommend a browser like that, I feel that there has to be something broken on my end.

I'm running Fedora 38 with KDE on my computer. If Falkon runs well on any computer, this one should be one of them. Any idea what the issue might be?

I am having difficulties following that guide. The first step tells me to download something, but the link only takes me to another site that lists multiple pages that host various resources. I don't know which one I need to go to and what to download there.

 

I always had the tabs bar below the address bar and bookmark, where they obviously belong, until I recently reset firefox and now I just can't figure out how to get them back to their correct position.

How do I get the tabs between the bookmarks bar and the main browser window again?

[–] Yora@diyrpg.org 5 points 1 year ago

Now that's stupidly easy.

Explains why there are no guides for it to be found anywhere. :D

 

I would like to change the favicon for the instance I've set up.

I installed Lemmy using ansible, so I am currently at a loss where even Lemmy is installed on the server. Where do you need to put the file to make it recognized and used by browsers?
