3D printing
I’m interested in 3D printing game models and characters—does anyone have experience with which software, printers, or materials work best for turning digital game assets into physical models?

Re: 3D printing
I’ve been experimenting with turning digital game assets into physical models for a while now, and the process really depends on both the software and the type of printer you use. For modeling, tools like Blender or ZBrush work well for refining details before exporting to STL files. On the printing side, SLA printers give excellent surface detail, while FFF printers are more affordable and easier to manage for larger models. I’ve found that marketplaces like are very helpful—they offer tested STL files specifically for game characters and vehicles, which saves a lot of time and reduces errors during printing. Materials like resin or PLA work best depending on whether you want fine details or durability. Following the recommended settings in the STL instructions usually gives the smoothest results.
