Product Review

Print Difficulty: Advanced
Supported: FDM & Resin presupports provided *Note* I use my own supports for FDM

The General Store print difficulty I give an advanced rating. Due to the supports and cuts of the General Store Entrance as well as the railings of the second story successful printing was difficult. To overcome this difficulty I used my own supports and some resin sliced pieces for easier printing.

Assembly: Intermediate

The Blacksmith while pretty straight forward in rectangular shape, I have rated the difficulty of assembly as intermediate. Due to the number of number of pieces and fit of several of the pieces. The most difficulty in my personal experience was the roof, which should be fixed with current version. However the porch poles to support the roof were floating and not attached to anything. This required me to extend and add to the front stairs and provide stability on my own.


Customer Support: Exceeds Expectations

I will absolutely admit that I am a massive fan of the sculpting company CastnPlay. This group is one of the largest patreon companies for supplying 3D sculpts for tabletop gaming. Their specialization is has always been miniatures printed on Resin printers and have provided helpful print settings and troubleshooting assistance. The team at CnP has been extremely receptive to suggestions and feedback while answering questions most significantly through their discord server. If you have questions going to their discord would be my suggestion but I am sure their facebook page or instagram would help out too.
