A question about supports
Added 2024-05-01 16:26:11 +0000 UTCWhen you receive a model (out in the wild west of the internet), how do you prefer your supports?? (This is in reference to minis/tabletop minis/pinup minis)

I do all my own pre-supported files and also do them for a few Patreons I support. My supports come off easily and clean.

Unsupported models can be scaled easier, which may be needed with some scales. Cut models are best, since you can increase them much easier. If you are asking whether you should pre support the models or not, I'd say do so, but offer the chitubox or lychee files as well, so we can remove/modify the supports if needed.

2024-05-01 16:51:00 +0000 UTCI'm an oddball. I like both supports and pre-supports. There are times I don't want to focus on resizing a figure and I'd like professional supports that improve the odds of a good print. Then other times, I've got the focus to do 'em myself and I do my own thing.
