These humanoid creatures have been written time and time again throughout history. Either from mythology, your fantasy book series or tabletop game. With such a wide variety of depictions and story telling it is easy to find a style you like. These Ogres give me many feelings towards towards an order D&D artistic style or of World of Warcraft . With big front tusks, bald heads and pointed ears these are for sure going to be unique on your table.

File Name	Print Time	Estimated Material Used	Misc Notes
Ogre_01Rev	3h50m	8g	Briding on the underside cloth is definitely harder than some of the other prints. Sculpted cracking on club makes it looks like something failed
Ogre_02Rev	3h13m	8.5g	Vibration issues are definitely visible with more obvious layer lines than others.
Ogre_03A_Rev*	9h14m printed in group	7g	Right leg retraction issues. Major warping issues on base.
Ogre_03B_Rev	50min	1.5	Spear printed wonderfully and one of the best weapon prints seen yet.
Ogre_04*	printed in 3-5 group	8g	One of the cleanest prints of the set. Some retraction issues on legs.
Ogre05_rev*	printed in 3-5 group	8g	Retraction wisps left. The patch on the head always makes me feel like there is a printing error but it is a patch.

These proud and misunderstood humanoids are the next featured print project. Overall it was a learning experience on coming back to printing after my long break with baby. After these prints I ended up deep diving into printer maintenance and calibration through the end of July and early August. Nevertheless I came out with good minis.

Orc Miniature Print Data
Layer Height: 0.08
Bed Adhesion: Majority of time used 6mm brim with no supports (Poor Goblin 3 with Axe).
Filament: Hatchbox Silver
Printed On Prusa i3 MK3s
Print Profile: Modified version of Cura 4.6 “Offical_FDG_Cura_ender3_and5miniatures_4mm” from The FatDragonGames website

File Name	Print Time	Estimated Material Used	Misc Notes
Orc_01_Axe	*Group Print		Print overall went well, axe was glued in an angle that is a little off for me.
Orc_02_Spear	*Group Print		Displays some retraction issues on leg and spear has broken. End of spear hollow due to clipping off pre-gen support.
Orc_03_Axe	*Group Print		Decent model, face needs some retraction love and one day i’ll remember to print the shield.
*Group Print	8hr 16m	19g total	This included skeleton set and orc warriors 1 along with single weapons for orc warriors
Orc Warriors 1 Axe	17m	1g
Orc Warriors 02_spear	19m	0.5g
Orc 04 Axe_A	1h16min	2.7g	Model printed well but feels forced to be supportless by arm resting on belt to the side. Feels like unnatural posing
Orc Warrior 04 Axe_B	42min	1.2g
Orc Warrior 05 Bow	1h57min	5.1g	Cleanest model of the group. Cape does well to support the bow.
Orc Warrior 06 Spear	1h34min	3.7g	Clean simple model, also printed well.
Dead Orc	1h 9min	3g	layer lines show on top of body

These orcs were printed as a group print with the Skeletons 3 group. Overall I realized how rusty my printer was. There were obvious 1st layer issues making brim removal hard, retraction issues, and the separate weapons needed to be added to these miniatures were sloppy so I reprinted them. This was definitely a wake up call that I needed to undo the cobwebs and work on my retraction settings and calibration methods.

Overall the weapons were incredibly difficult to print and took several attempts. Thank goodness that they were 0.5 to 1g of filament a piece and were quick and easily affordable. I had the most success when printing the weapons in groups and printed slowly with larger minimal layer times around 15s.

Who here doesn’t love imaging a player floating and being eaten by a Gelatinous cube? I definitely have. I love them but I’ve never had one in my collection before. That changes now!

What is a Goblinoid anyway? I thought goblinoid is in referring to the humanoid collection of goblins. So i guess these Goblinoids could be Goblins, Hobgoblins or bugbears? I’m probably going to paint these fellas like hobgoblins because I don’t have many to in that collection. As the big cousins of goblins these little dudes are more militant and will be perfect. I really love the capes on the back of these guys and they might start being my practice for layering on capes. I’m honestly really looking forward to painting them.

Filament: Hatchbox Silver
Printed On Prusa i3 MK3s
Print Profile: Mofied Version of Cura 4.6 “Offical_FDG_Cura_ender3_and5miniatures_4mm” from The FatDragonGames website

File Name	Print Time	Estimated Material Used	Misc Notes
Goblin_01_Spear	2hr 30min	6g	Oops accidentally printed two of these guys. Also for some strange reason the file name is goblin stead of goblinoid. Be careful if you combine print files. Also printed two by accident
Goblinoid_02_Flail	1 hr 58 min	6g	Accidentally printed this one with supports again. The supports absolutely would not remove from below the mini so I reprinted it.
Goblinoid_03_Sword	2 hr 2 min	6g	Mini turned out well. Again some small melting on the tip of the sword. (Man i should really work on tuning that).
Goblinoid_04_AxeA	2 hr 3 min	6g	Came out well. I’m happy with it.
Goblinoid_04_Axe_B	16 min	1g	Axe printed separately. The tip of the handle came off poorly from snapping off support. Haven’t decided how to smooth that out.

Yet another one of the Fat Dragon Games miniature collections! I’m slowly making my way through this kickstarter and getting posts done. This collection is spiders. Having already had a previous spider version in their miniature collection the rearing option for the spider is new. Overall the model is decent but I am not the happiest with how the legs go into the sockets for the large rearing spider. It took some shaving with my exacto knife to make it fit more cleanly. Also the second spider swarm (more spiders on the base). Felt sloppy to me. Almost all of my prints have come up cleanly but this almost looks like a failed print to me. I am interested to see how these guys will turn out when I paint them.

File Name	Print Time	Estimated Material Used	Misc Notes
Giant_Spider Rearing A	3 hr 9 min	8g	Print came out well. Underside of legs were great. Nice detail on legs. There is also a thickened leg version but I did not print that and went with the skinny one.
Giant Spider Rearing B	22min	1g	decent detail but did not get the same level of detail as the main model. Also are the legs for the thickened version? Did not go into A very well.
Giant Spider Rearing C	22 min	1g	Pretty much same statement as above. Could not tell the difference in the legs when I assembled them. Wish there was some call out.
Swarm 1	37 min	1g	My favorite of the two swarms. It came out nicely and looks great.
Swarm 2	36 min	1g	Like mentioned above. This is probably my least favorite print in the entire Fat Dragon Games collection. It looks like a messed up print. I think too many things are trying to happen in a very very little layer height. I’d definitely print more swarm 1 over swarm 2

I do not know what it is about turtle miniatures but I absolutely love them. These are some of my absolute favorite from the Fat Dragon Game collection and I love the feel of them. I’ve previously printed the Fat Dragon Game Turdle Fighter collection and love them. I can’t wait paint these guys and find an excuse to have them on my tabletop to play.

Turdle_04 (Bow)	1 hr 53 min	5g	Great looking Mini! Very proud of it
Turdle_05 (Staff)	1 hr 51 min	5g	Also a great looking mini, oops staff broke. (Repairs quickly). Could potentially work on bridging of under shell and very slight retraction from staff to body
Turdle_06 A (Axe) Turdle_6 B (Sheild)	1 hr 42 min	5g	I think i’m going to paint the mini before I attach the shield. I absolutely love the bedroll on top of this mini

Special Note: The Oxidation Beast also known as a Rust Monster in Dungeons and Dragons is considered a medium sized monstrosity. If you wish to keep the miniature in a 1″ scale for tabletop gameplay you will have to resize the creature. This model originally has a size of 26.9566 mm x 35.1585 mm x 16.3927 mm. Since the X-axis and Y-axis is greater than 25.4 mm scaling the monster down is more accurate. Reducing to a 71.11% size of its original provides dimensions of 19.1679 mm x 25 mm x 11.6563 mm.

This is on the agenda to do but currently the print data below is for a full sized Oxidation Beast as I forgot to scale it down…. twice.

Oxidation_Beast	1 hr 23 min	3g	Printed twice, accidently forgot to scale down for accurate sizing regarding Dungeons and Dragons stat blocks. I do like the model not having a gab at the base for easier painting.
