Pulled my 3d printer out after 4+ years in storage and was going over it with the ai over voice/video. It basically told me to screw the nozzle into a 240c (464f) hotend. I didn't do it, of course.
Hello, I just pulled my Ender 5 Pro out of storage after a 4+ year break, what is the current slicer software to use? If I remember correctly I used to use Cura and prusa slicer. Are these still good options? Thanks.
*Thanks, I'll take a look at Orca Slicer also
Finished my red dragon today. Outside of priming, I did this with all brush work. Was tough balancing to paint this guy, but, came out pretty good.

Currently working on this beast of a model. I had to use the rock base as a foundation to assemble him so, instead of airbrushing a base coat, I'm going with brush work. It was a major pia getting in all the nooks. Since he is already mounted to the base, I started with that as I knew there was no way I could paint the inside of the base without hitting the dragon.
Going to call this guy for the night. I'll come back for some highlights and finishing touches tomorrow.

Paint this guy with speed paints over a white primer. Meant to go grey -> white, but accidentally primed white. After finishing the paint job, I'd say white was the right call for this one.
Crawling Doom - Cast n Play
I primed this guy earlier today. My plan was grey -> white zenithal. I let him sit, notice he's looking light, but, I was sure it was a perception thing. Do my white highlight and sure enough, I accidentally used my white primer instead of grey. Guess I'm going to give him a dark tone wash to fill in recesses and hit him with another white highlight after he dries.
I've had my share of mistakes hobbying, but, I never primed the wrong color. :D

I pulled my resin printing stuff out of storage earlier this week. Took a 5 year break from 3d printing because of space limitations.
My first print was those 10mm goblins in the back, followed by this guy at 25mm scale. After the goblin test run I got back my courage and was able to print this fairly large white dragon on two build plates of my Epax x1-n using Anycubic abs-like resin.
Luckily, everything held up well in storage. The Epax is still printing like the day I put it in storage. The Anycubic wash and cure didn't fair as well but works. The magnetics rusted and the front cover for the buttons became unresponsive without being removed. Worth noting, the front cover was falling off before I stored the Anycubic.
Started painting my 10mm goblins today. Got to the second one, base coating clothes and realized there's no way I have the time and will to paint up 6 ranks of these guys, let alone an army for kicks.
I decided to just finish one rank to see the results.
Overall, very happy with them. Close up they look kind of sloppy but since they're so small, the effect works in person. I might go back and paint up the rest of them but after these guys, I need a break.
If you're used to painting 25mm - 32mm and you want a challenge, get you some 10mm. It's humbling.
Decided I needed to paint some 10mm and busted out my old Epax resin printer. Lol, as I was prepping them for printing, I was worried about cleaning up the support marks. The supports look like splinters. I don't even know how I'm going to mount these for priming.
