Ovion's Battletech 3D Printable Models

Hey guys, this week I wanted to draw attention to the Patreon of a guy on the Battletech Discord.

He's a freelance 3d modeler and is doing some really cool stuff for tabletop Battletech, Warhammer and Dungeons & Dragons communities.

As I know him from the Battletech Discord (Come check it out by the way) I'm going to showcase some of the models he's put up on his Patreon in relation to the game with the big stompy mechs!  All of his models are created by him from scratch and they look great!  I won't put any names with them, for copyrighting reasons, but I'm sure you Battletech fans out there will be able to figure out what's what.

I picked a small selection of his models to show here, but go check out his page for the whole lot and he is releasing new models all the time.

If you don't see what you like or if Battletech isn't your thing, he does commissions for custom models so it would definitely be worth getting in touch with him to see if he could help you out.

If any of that sounds interesting to you, or if you just want a bit more information on what he can do, go check out his page here and see some more of the cool things he's working on!

See you all next week.

Troez.

    Hi. These are amazing. I love the classic look. Where can you download them? There's nothing on his Patreon page, and there's no contact info. I've tried looking up Ovion elsewhere, but haven't had much luck.

      Hi! Sorry it's been a while since I've spoken to him, but when I did it was on the Battletech discord. No idea if he is still active on there or not but here is a link to join the server; https://discord.gg/Vsg6h9tx

If any of you play table top games like Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder you will know there is no limit to the companies providing high quality miniatures for your games.  However if you want to stray from the norm, and for example have a steampunk Dwarf or Elf, where do you go? Games Workshop make great miniatures but they are limited to the armies that they use in their games.  Places like Dark Sword Minis or Reaper provide a more traditional set of miniatures for fantasy type games and even a few for Sci Fi, but what if you need that one miniature that suits your character perfectly but doesn't exist? Well with the advent of 3D printing, some companies have begun to offer online customisation of miniatures which you can order printed or even download the STL files to print yourself at home.  The most well known of these sites is Heroforge . Heroforge allows you massive amounts of customisation for your miniature, from race and gender all the way down to clo

GUIDE: Creating supports in Meshmixer

Hey guys, one of the most important things to think about when 3D printing is the support material.  With out sufficient support, models with steep overhangs or floating parts will simply fail to print correctly and you will end up with a pile of spaghetti. Most slicing programs will be able to create their own support, as mentioned in my "How to print" series of posts, however, for some models this is simply not good enough.  The most widely used alternative is Meshmixer, and in this post we're going to look at how to generate support material using it's analysis tools. Import the model, this step is fairly self explanatory.  Open Meshmixer and import the model you wish to print, either by clicking on the import button on the home screen and navigating to your model, or dragging your model into the program. I'll be using the standard bunny included in the program for this tutorial. Head over to the menu bar on the left of the screen and click on anal
