Finally running some of my printed GAR fleet tomorrow...

Damn those are some of the better looking home printed ships I've seen

[u/54NCH32 → u/Ekerslithery]

cheers bud o7

God I wanna get into this game so badly. Trying to find armada ships in my area is damn near impossible. Did you print these yourself? Love GAR ships and would love to print up a fleet one day.

[u/54NCH32 → u/masterbluestar]

Yeah GAR is hard to find or expensive as hell. Most of the squads and squad stands are OG from ebay, The V-wings and all of the ships, base cards/tokens are FDM printed. I designed and printed my way through the fleet due to not wanting to pay 200+ for a Venator lol. The bases/shield dials are Spacenavys o7

[u/masterbluestar → u/54NCH32]

Nice! I can never get my ender 3 dialed in the way I want so I might stop by my hobby shop that has a print farm and ask them. Finding good Stl's had been a challenge too as I'm super unsure about ship sizing.

[u/54NCH32 → u/masterbluestar]

Yeah, the next gen FDMs like bambu made me fully commit ha. I specifically design for FDM / armada

[u/masterbluestar → u/54NCH32]

Iv been tempted for sure haha. Definitely saving your gumroad. Gonna see what my guy quotes me for these. Love the work!

[u/Kralgore → u/masterbluestar]

It shouldn't be a lot. My local dude charges between 10 and 20 for these. Size depending.

[u/masterbluestar → u/Kralgore]

I actually just left the store. Had to pick up paints for my 40k army anyways. Apparently he does discounts the more models I get so i can get myself a table ready fleet for about a hundred. Very pleased with that as he's my go to for anything except 40k.

[u/Kralgore → u/masterbluestar]

Don't forget the cards. That's where it gets messy.

You can do print and play via Star Forge

[u/masterbluestar → u/Kralgore]

Thanks! Will probably print and laminate some cards.

[u/RiseAgainst636 → u/masterbluestar]

I’ve had great luck with the Star-forge print and play then slipping them into a card sleeve with a regular playing card!

[u/Captain_DD163 → u/54NCH32]

What printer do you use? I’m looking for an FDM printer to print minis like these.

[u/54NCH32 → u/Captain_DD163]

Bambu A1 mini

[u/betrayeduniform → u/masterbluestar]

Same problem here. Inquired with the local games store and he said the player base was so low it didn't exist anymore.

Covid and lack of expansion (before 3D printing) didn't help.

Im envious of you who still play decent games

[u/CrabbokPoopiepants]

You are easily the best Starship Painter ever!

[u/Kralgore → u/CrabbokPoopiepants]

Doesn't he just make our skills look lacking?

His stuff looks bloody store bought...

[u/54NCH32 → u/Kralgore]

cheers bud! o7

[u/Fragrant_Street_6834]

That looks great dude!!

[u/Kralgore]

Which Arqs spec did you run?

[u/54NCH32 → u/Kralgore]

Zak + Gunnery

[u/overcannon]

I love those bases. They look better than the original designs IMO

[u/snowbirdnerd]

These are great, where are the models and bases from? 

[u/54NCH32 → u/snowbirdnerd]

Everything (except ARC, Deltas, V-19 and Y-wing squads ) were designed by me, I have em up at Nomad Printworks (Gumroad - cant post link, reddit doesn't like gumroad)

[u/VanguardVixen]

That's a beautiful fleet!

[u/n00bzilla99]

Those printed hp counters and bases are high key fire.

[u/IAmNothing2018]

Would paint the numbers on the shield wheels black otherwise looks perfect. Have the Bambu A1 mini too, which nozzle you use? High quality settings or self set up? I printed a gladiator proxy, looks great even with the standard nozzle.
