@@OnceinaSixSide I'd be careful with an F tier. That could be a real lightning rod. Save it for "there are errors in this file that make it practically unprintable." For instance, I make proxies for Battletech. Sometimes a part will look fine and I'll run it through a repair cycle and a Boolean will have screwed up in a non-visible way that isn't fixable outside of modeling work in blender (Which is why I test print everything). If a model comes out that is not fixable without that level of effort, more work than is reasonable for the average user, F tier.

@@parallaxgames I totally get what you're saying, but I worry that B tier is basically that right now. We've got good granularity on the positive end already with S, and A, but poor granularity on the sour end with just B. Having a second tier down there would lessen the blow of a B rating, and better draw a distinction between releases with some issues versus those that are straight up unprintable.

So to add to that: The B tier rating would come to mean: Well supported BUT you might have one or two failures. F tier: completely unusable files.

Ayyy thanks for covering my work! And thanks for being so charitable with the rating! In regards to the supports, that model is actually the only model I’ve put up without seeing the test print in-person with my own eyeballs, so that probably explains some of the tip failures! I usually do a couple test prints to refine the supports, but in this case I had to leave early to visit family, so I actually sent the supported files to my roommate, who printed them out and sent me pictures of the results. Lol definitely not the best method for test printing. I get back to my printer next week, so I’ll take a look at the test prints and do another refinement pass on the supports! Also I’m happy to see you psyched at my experiment for supporting the base! Once I get back home to my printer I plan to do some more tests to see just how thin I can make the contact point before the print fails, so I can make the scarring as minimal as possible. Also fun fact, it was all made in zbrush by just eyeballing the thicknesses, because I am a dummy who doesn’t know how to use those other programs you mentioned lol Thanks again for covering my work!

Add another tier in order to spread things out more. Give yourself some extra room at the top so that you can make the really stellar models stand out, like the support scarring should be a question that drops something down to an A tier from S. If it's otherwise great but you have to file off or fill the scars, then it isn't perfect. Drop your current "B" tier to "C".

Thanks for the detailed reviews of these creators. I’ve purchased a few models from a few of them in the past and had great success. Sometimes it’s hard to give them low scores because the models themselves are awesome; however, some of the models are older and don’t have the same higher quality supports as many of their newer models. I would suggest, if you’re not already doing this, to maybe grab an older model and a newer model from their collection to see if BOTH are high quality, or if the older models aren’t supported as well, or vice versa. Some of them eventually go back and re-support their older models which are still popular; but as the customer you often don’t know in advance which models were/weren’t professionally supported. Then again, I’ve also purchased some of their newest models and had issues (e.g. resin traps in hollowed parts with poor drainage…not that the parts cracked over time, just that getting ALL of the resin out seems impossible and the drain holes don’t allow enough access to cure from the inside with proper UV lights designed to go inside the model through a drain hole)…I’m not going to get into specifics here, as it’s not fair to use YOUR comments section to knock a particular creator.

Granularity could be achieved by having different 'scales' or 'sliders' that combine for the overall rating. For example: file organization/type presence could be '-'/'minus', flat, or '+'/'plus'. Using this I would imagine supports would fall under: unsupported=red, pre-supported w/ scarring=orange, overly pre-supported=yellow, 'perfect' pre-supports=green.

Great video as always! For Minirater, adding one or more extra tier could be helpful. I also value some stuff more than others. - There's all the before printings stuff that are nice to have, convenient things (files organization, renders, and extra files like lychee or chitu files, etc.) - Then, I ask myself is there supported files, and how do the supports looks (islands, etc). - Finally, once printed, hows does it look? Best tier here is a near perfect print with no or minimal clean up. Then a lesser tier, printed file but with a bunch of scarring or small failures. And then a fail tier, where the mini just breaks while removing supports, is just not removable or just didn't print!

I think Minirater doesn't need more granularity, per se, but a rating for results. Because, honestly, I don't care if the designer used autosupports, or if there are errors that still print fine. I only care if it prints correctly, without failure. So, consider a "printability rating", as a percent or grade, that would tell me at a glance how likely the files are to fail or not.

3:30 while printing the cones of calibration, I got a pretty big different result for ideal exposure time printing the cones using an exposure range finder like the anycubic one and printing the cones one at a time and modifying the exposure as I went. The ones printed one at a time gave me a result about one second lower than the range exposure finder. I was able to take this exposure setting and print a full size titan with minimal print failure that, usualy the fault of my bad supports. Curious if anybody had similar result to mine.

If technically it didnt fail, but its scarred, bad auto-supports, or detatched tips, then make it a B. If it has none of those issues then make it an A. If it prints perfectly and has all the file types, file organisation, cloud etc then make it an S. Interesting that your system doesn't include any aesthetic rating for the model. Subjective I know, but maybe still worth adding separately?
@fish759828 күн бұрын
I feel like support scaring really needs to be a factor because right now it doesn't seem to be. Disconnected tips are a symptom, but the actual problem is the level of scarring we see. I think it should be looked at as a signifigant factor with maybe three positions of granularity (None/light/heavy). feels way more important to me than something like renders (not that those don't matter, but IMO it's a more signifigant factor of how well a model is supported for me as an end user)

S Tier: Absolutely flawless. Perfect supports, perfect files wit no errors, renders in files, slicer files and top notch organisation, maybe even PDF instructions for larger vehicles etc. A Tier: Almost flawless. Possibly a couple of errors, or a missing render, or missing instructions if large kit but very minor QoL issues rather than technical issues. B Tier: Multiple errors, no renders, high percentage of error files (say over 5%), poor supports, complete lack of organisation etc. U Tier: I was going to say trash tier but I know the idea is to encourage people to improve, not to put them down. U tier is "Ungraded". They've been rated but fall short on so many points both in QoL and technical that they shouldn't have been really released yet as they're not ready. Basically the AAA games that are rushed to release then have 30gb of Day 1 patches of STLs. Take away feedback from the reviews left and work on it, then hopefully you can get into the higher tiers as you progress and learn.

Oversupporting is a very annoying problem to encounter. I just got a bunch of totally fantastic Space Dwarf minis a recent Kickstarter and I have to go in and redo all the supports. The presupports definitely don't fail, but they're so thick and so plentiful that I needed to use clippers and a hobby knife to remove supports and I still had multiple breakages on the one plate I've printed thus far. If I had to guess, they're probably playing it too safe and assuming the end user is printing the models massively underexposed or far too fast, but I don't think the tradeoff of guaranteeing a successful print under garbage settings is worth making support removal a nightmare.

The tiers seem to be a bit warped. S, A and B are a bit too compressed. If you're sticking with 3 just change them to grades: A, B and F. But really seems like you should broaden the gradings: S: Above and beyond. Everything prints perfectly with no deformations or scarring, and beyond that the structure of the supports has been optimised to minimise waste and/or other conveniences to save resin, processing, cleaning and assembly time. A: Perfect prints, but room for improvement in manual support optimisation or file options. B: Excellent prints, but not bulletproof. Resin settings need to be tuned, or there is an excess of supports, some sub-optimal orientation or some kind of annoyance or issue that may require intervention to work around in a small percentage of files. C: Good prints, but you need to know what you're doing to make them work. You're better off manually supporting them yourself in many cases. F: Just autosupported junk. High chance of failure. Unsupported islands, prone to warping or tearing off. You'd be better off if no supported files were even provided so you don't waste your time.

Instead of Tiers do a sliding scale for how easy it is to get the minis onto the tabletop. You could do it out of 5 or 10 and just have it more gradual rather than using rigid tiers. More questions will help with this scoring system as well, where each one will either add or deduct points from the scale. If you did it as an end result of #/10, each model could start as a 5, and each question deducts or adds points to the scale, with total and absolute complete failures resulting in less than a 5.

A few pieces that printed but don't sit perfectly flush, but hey, close enough. Tiny bit of greenstuff and it's fine. Gotta admit, as simple as it is I'm glad that they truly are modular - can mix and match kits within each range, but also from other ranges. Can make an interesting character with that. Also yeah, you really should have more varied ratings. I'd assume a B-tier mini is still a good file, but it could be absolute garbage with your rating system.

Much good information here. I do presupports for some patreons and myminifactory tribes and can maybe shed a bit of light on some of this. Many customers don't make all that much money, especially when just beginning so they want to cut costs as much as possible. This means that often times they will not test print the files or ask for the files to be test printed. Some only test a couple of files and some test 100% of the files. There is always a balance between success rate and how easy the supports are to remove and while for most cases an experienced person doing supports will have it just right 99% of the time but it can happen that the tips should be just a tiny bit bigger. This could happen even if it was test printed due to different resins and printer calibration. EDIT: the cost cutting some do is not just to make more money, they seriously can't afford it and I've seen people do their best with the models but still not make enough money to stay afloat. So don't be too harsh.

Other tiers and feedback systems may just clutter minirater honestly. My recommendation would be to add tags or something similar for the reviews; that way those of us who know can identify whether files were auto-supported, which kind of files were included, or other finer details like that. Also support scarring could be noted

I’m running a Mars 2 Pro. I’ve not done a plate level in 18 months. I mostly run Sunlu resin, with occasional anycubic. I’ve not had a failed print in 75 prints. The machine sits in my basement. I have absolutely cranked out so many puppets war models, piper makes, and artisan guild stuff. And I always use the pre supported. Is this luck?

Resin printing really is this straightforward and easy for most people. Where it falls over is with shitty supports, and thankfully this is becoming less and less common as more and more studios give greater care to the process which I'd say is why you haven't encountered any print failures.

Great video! My apologies if I missed it but what printer/resin is used here? The quality looks great.

Yeah of course, it's the long one here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX-XiZRjqZWtpNEsi=RdolsTWNJNpG-cZC There is always going to be some amount of scarring, because you need anchoring supports to ensure printing success. So the trick is to place them where they're not gonna be seen.
