Hey guys.

I just wanted to let you all know that my business partner and I have our webstore up and running now.

We are also an official licensed printer for Peculiar companions (a patreon with some sweet fantasy stls).

We are working on adding listings to the store, but I would appreciate it if you guys throw us a view and tell me what you think of it so far.

I'm also happy to answer any questions you may have

https://two-idiots-printing-service.myshopify.com/


(Admins, please message me if this needs to get taken down. I'm happy to comply. I just wanted to post something because i have not yet received a response to my query.)

So, it looks like $2.50 per miniature, yes? What does shipping to addresses in the US cost?

Also, will you be expanding your catalogue to include their African themed army?

1. 2.50 per infantry figure,with bu]k deals using the drop down.

Yes, the African greenskins will be added next. Honestly it's just a matter of getting the listings up.

Cool! I love seeing the entrepreneurial spirit during lockdown. Good luck with it.

Thanks. It is quite fun.

Honestly, being able to help people build big armies is an enjoyment factor for me. to say nothing about building my own collection.

Granted, I am used to gaming with large units of figures too, so its fun to see that epic scale brought to the tabletop again.

Would you be open to printing files for clients? For example, I pledged for Raygun Raptors and Asian Adventures, but I don’t have a great printer. Would you offer a service where I could send you a file for you to print in resin?

I placed an order for 5 Spanish knights and the Spanish knights hero.

The customer service was very good, I had done questions which were responded to very quickly. Namely the material being used, I am not a fan of translucent material so asked if I could get in opaque. The response was, yes. Just send them a note when ordering. The resin might be grey ot could be colored,

So, I placed my order. I believe it was 2 days after I placed my order that I received a shipping notice.., and 2 days for scheduled delivery with tracking. Very fast. Shipping, very good.

I received my order today. I received an extra Knight, and I thought I was supposed to recieve 1 weapon choice per knight, but actually received 5 swords, 5 hammers, 7 lances 5 trumpets and 5 pistols, bonus stuff is always appreciated, great stuff.

I assembled 1 mini. I have a little complaint here, the resin bits that are used for printing are still attached to the model. This was already stated in the description so we’re not a surprise. I have never worked with a 3D print like this, so thought that they would be easy to clean up.., I think it will go better with more practice but.., well my first one did not go well. The second one went better. But overall not holding this against them.

My other complaint isn’t against two idiots, but the models themselves. The prints are a bit small compared to warhammer sized minis, I asked and they stated they could print slightly larger but there may be some detail loss and the price may be a little higher. Which is fair.

Overall I am satisfied with the purchase and am likely to buy again.

Here are some pics. That s Fireforge northmen and a Perry knight for comparison.

I put in an order recently. The detail is crisp, although the translucent material makes it hard to see sometimes. I am really happy with how everything came out, and will probably order more of the Benin orcs and Turko-Mongolian elves. TIPS were really easy to work with even when some of my notes were pretty bad (“action pose full bling with sword” and such), so next time I might try something interesting, like 25% larger warboss or something. Looking forward to my next order.

Here are some pictures and some scale shots with WGA and Oathmark minis. And you can see how easy their bits are to use with HIPS minis.

This time it is the dread elf legions from Caballero Miniatures.

This unique take on dark elves gives them a roman theme and armor to match, although there are variants available with more traditional garb.

There will be more coming from this range, and we are excited to see it grow.

I feel like the Medusa shields would work well on a Greek hero and his retinue.

What is the head covering on the right side Crow Bearer? It makes me think of a babushka, which somehow makes the elf more interesting to me.

From what I understand it's just a hood with ears slits cut out. And then of course there's the cloak that's clasped just under it.

My thought is that he was trying to mix Roman with some slight religious garb. One of the new units that he's working on currently is essentially Roman chamber militant like the guys from game of thrones. I believe they're going to count as which elves/ whatever name the hotels are called in ninth age.

I doubt you are. With 4 thousand views and just us replying to one another, I think some people are just enjoying our discussion.

The chariot is great, and the flying carpet is quite dynamic.

The Zweilhanders are amazing, and loads better than GW greastwords IMHO

For those who play The 9th Age: We were requested if we could come up with a miniature solution to represent Imperial guard with swords and shields.

After clearing it with the artists involved, we are now offering this kitbashed set between Peculiar companions and Caballero miniatures. 28mm spanish heavy infantry converted with swords and shields.

Armies of the sands has dropped, and we have been busy adding all of the new, awesome minis to our webstore. Everything but the sculpted square bases and unit fillers are now live on the webstore. please check it out at the link below and let me know what you think!

We appreciate feedback as it allows us to better ourselves and how we handle product launches.

Renders below are mock ups. For example, I know the torso on the tomb cataphract's snake mount is slightly out of place.

My first suggestion would be to change which pictures show up on the listing or menu pages for the Shabti and cataphracts. The images imply one can buy a set of 3 cataphracts or 5 shabti for $20, when they are $20 per miniature.

I can try that, but due to the variation of items we sell it may cause the catalog pages to look off-putting.

Honestly I truly believed "starting at" would be assumed. That is based on my own personal habits when it comes to online stores (I always go to the actual product page and look at options/drop downs) though so I shouldn't assign that to everyone else.

I’ve shopped on your site before and never had that issue with previous items, even when they were pictured in groups, like the goblins or cavalry. For some reason, though, the larger items aren’t as obvious. $2.50 for one skeleton instead of a regiment is intuitive. $5 for one cavalry guy makes instant sense. But the $20 price tags combined with the images may have triggered my “boxed set recognition” lobe. That price doesn’t instinctively equate to one ushabti for me. I suppose the price makes sense scaling by volume, but it threw me off.

Maybe 6 inch chunks of full wall, an "end" like a pillar, maybe with an inch of wall attached, and a corner maybe 3 inches per side?

For the desert adventurers, how big are the skull heads compared to the Egyptian heads or the less-heroic Turco-Mongolian elves’ heads? Also, do you have any examples of what they look like on Mummy bodies?

For that matter, what if I asked for a bunch of khopesh swords with the living Egyptians?

I have checked in with the designer: The image of the khopesh without a hand was a WIP one to show the intended shape of the weapon, and is not available as a separate file.

Like I said, we would be able to, but we'd just handle that kind of thing as a manual, custom order as a matter of course. so whenever you're ready feel free to throw us a message and we can help.

The Txarli stuff is designed at 28mm, so excellent probably has just done some legwork merging and then resizing things

Hello everyone and welcome to the new year! Thank you so much for your orders during our end of year sale!

We have some exciting new projects coming up and are looking forward to a good 2021. Please note that processing times are currently slowed as we work through the massive demand from our end of year sale.

Today I have some new miniatures that we've added to the store. Caballero miniatures has released command groups (standard, musician, champion) for the remainder of their infantry units (Previously only the baseline legion infantry had a command group.) We've released these as group packs, so you can get all 3 command models at once. The below images only represent two of the new command groups.





We've also put up the new Warlock Outcast and Warlock acolyte cavalry onto the store.





You can find them all in the Caballero miniatures section of our webstore, here:

Hello everyone,

Max/Lord Marcus here from TIPS (Two Idiots Printing Service) bringing you yet another amazing release.

This time, we have a kit bashed unit of stag knights, worthy of use as monstrous cavalry in your nature themed armies. These models combine parts from Peculiar companions and Caballero miniatures to create an epic cavalry unit ready to smash down into the ranks of the foe.

Three variants have been created and are up on our webstore now for purchase. A command group consisting of banner bearer, champion with sword, and trumpeter. Furthermore there are stag knights with lances, and finally a variant armed with halberds. These models do not come with bases but fear not, for we have MDF and some resin bases available separately in our store.

Please take a look at the images and links below and let us know what you think. Regardless though, we appreciate your time and attention

They are a small item. They were (originally) incorrectly placed in our shipping profile for miniatures which starts at $8 domestically to account for extra shipping materials.

The movement trays are now correctly placed in small item shipping, which starts at $5.50 domestically and $15 internationally.

If anyone tries to check out and thinks the shipping seems wrong, on any of our items, please message me here on dakka or send us an email to twoidiotsprinting@gmail.com

Thank you for your time and consideration,

The TIPS Team

I'm just wishlisting, but I would love movement trays sized for CMON's ASOIAF but with slots for miniatures on 25mm round bases.

Message me if you want more details.

Are you talking square movement trays? More details as to what you are looking for would be excellent

I'm curious about the Dark Slayers. It's a stroke of genius to do them, but I'd like to request some scale comparisons with 40K and / or Warpath minis if possible. (Slayers work as well in sci-fi as fantasy.)

I'm keen to get some, but don't have a use for Slayers that, say, a Necron trooper would tower over. This isn't a "heroic" vs. "true" scale issue, just relative size.

My order was delivered, yes. I was talking about back in November when I was sending emails back and forth with...I think Ross? I was asking about various Thingiverse files and if they could be printed in resin and for how much. Mostly, the things I was asking about were 3D files that couldn’t be printed as found on Thingiverse. But some of my questions were never answered. I admit Inmay have gotten carried away asking too many such questions.

that said, this should work

As to your question on riders, the answer is unfortunatley no. The legs are modeled on to the wolves in this set.

I can inquire to the creator if getting these separated would be a possibility. If so, I'll update you, but it would be a special order item anyway.

Some nice looking miniatures. Heroic scale versions of a popular true scale line for gamers who prefer heroic scale is an interesting idea. I’ll have to pick up a couple of the command dudes in good time. I’ve already got names: Isodor, Theowilldo, Bingolfin, Hubbard.

Is it just me or do the Lords of Westernesse helmet crests look like shrimp?

I think he based that off of a burgonet. which sort of lines up with the stylistic crest.

I received my order of Slayers. I apologise that this will not be a proper review, but more of an off-the-cuff sort of thing. Pictures may come later, time permitting.

The good:
--------
Having been advised that the printed minis may be very hard to separate from their supports, I was delighted to find how easy that was. Perhaps I was informed by someone who had printed in a different material. It's a little more work than cleaning mold lines from the average miniature, but not by much.

The quality of the casting was very good. These aren't the most ultra-detailed minis to begin with, but the detail they have is very good.

The bad:

--------

The following is entirely my fault, and whether it's even "bad" at all is down to your tastes concerning scale.

These guys are just too tiny for my purposes, and frankly, I should have known better, because I asked for and received a comparison with a Space Marine photo before ordering and, thinking "SLAYERS!", ordered them anyway. (Next time, I'll ask for a shot of the mini with a ruler.) I don't blame "Two Idiots" for my stupid impulsiveness, but I would like to ask if smaller minis like the Slayers can be slightly upsized upon request. If so, I may have to order a single test mini to see how it comes out, then place another order for the larger Slayers. Ordinarily I wouldn't contemplate buying a thing twice, rescaling or not. But, you know, SLAYERS!

If resizing the Slayers is impractical, I will probably be more wary about pursuing Big Mr. Tong's works going forward, as the safe assumption would be that he considers the Slayers to be of a standard humanoid height (as they were in the film) and will size his other releases similarly. In that event, perhaps I could ask the printer to pass along a request to Mr. Tong - whose sculpts and tastes strike a chord with me - if he would consider releasing future models in two sizes, perhaps, one being slightly larger? I can't help but like the guy; he even sculpts banana knights of all things, and, well, look at my avatar. Evidently our senses of humor both turn towards things banana.

Awright, it's not really fair to post this without a comparison photo of a slayer so you can know what I'm yammering about. I apologize for the crappy photo; can't find the charger for my good camera today. I think it serves the purpose. Also, I did my best to get bases of varying heights as even as possible. Apologies for any shortcomings on that.



From Right to Left: Mantic Enforcer, Big MrTong Slayer, Sedition Wars (inviso) trooper, Maelstrom's Edge Kaddar Nova. The Enforcer and Nova are converted, but not in ways that would impact their normal height. Note that the Slayer still has some supports I haven't removed - it'll look better with those removed. Heck, it'll look better in a decent photo that lets you see the darn thing properly. My iphone camera is crap.

Sorry for the inviso Sedition Wars trooper, too. I'm going with what I can find quickly here, but wanted to include the trooper because if that's the scale you like, you're in luck: the Slayers are a perfect match for it.

Vermonter, they can resize items by request. I put in an order for some of the Benin goblins at various different percentages of height and length/width to give them more human proportions, and they did it. In fact, I need to get some photos up of those guys because I think they look pretty good as Benin humans-in-big-masks.

Just eyeballing it, but I would expect the Slayers printed at ~120% (all directions) to size up well with the Mantic and Medge figures.

Yes, we can scale up the figures, as well as scale down. 10-20% in each direction won't be a problem. if you go bigger or smaller then that you risk potential detail loss. In the case of making models larger this is normally more elastic depending on the amount of detail a figure has. We've scaled up the peculiar companions turkic dark elves to 160% for someone who wanted them done at 54mm and by his account they came out well.

Everything but the Horse lords and some of the elves will be back on the website by the end of today.

In other exciting news, The Frost from Lovecraft designs has wrapped up its kickstarter campaign.

We pledged as a merchant to be able to sell prints of the files. We also popped for the merchant license for "FrostGuard" Addon.

Expect these to start appearing on the webstore late march to early april.


Miniature prices will be our same low rates as always. Terrain will see a small increase in price over the desert adventures pieces currently on the webstore. This is because we underestimated the amount of material and print time for some of the larger terrain pieces.


I'll have more news as it comes, but for now if you'd like to plan potential purchases pop on over to the kickstarter campaign and see all the amazing stuff that was unlocked!

The txarli factory Colossus. This particular variant has a halberd as its weapon choice. This is an example of the printed model that you would receive if you ordered from us.
It's a great time to get said model, because we are running a " make March colossal " promotion where you can get $17 off of this model with a qualifying purchase of 20 or more skeleton warriors.
Frostgrave Wizard for scale purposes only.

Those shields have awoken something deep within me. I have urgent (not really) questions!!!

1. Are they flat shields, curved like GW shields, or convex like the Last Sword elven shields?

2. How do they look printed at a size to work as an Eldar jetbike cowling or BFG ship hull, say 2 or 3 inches in length? Does the detail work?

3. They’re $10 for 20, but what would it cost to order a handful of larger shields?

1. slightly curved. see image below



2. Detail would most likely not be diminished.

3. That would depend on how big you want them.

Ah, that's evocative.

But he grew old—
This knight so bold—
And o’er his heart a shadow—
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

Eldorado by Edgar Allan Poe


Excellent quoted piece. I agree though. He is a lovely miniature, and would make a great character or just as a painting project.

The old knight, from The Frost range, is also an excellent example of such a figure



Two Idiots 3D Printing Service - TIPS - pirates! @ 2021/04/09 15:45:14


Post by: Ancestral Hamster


The old knight is more Don Quixote, while (at least for me) the questing knight looks serious and committed. He also looks older than the typical knight mini, which is why I thought of the Eldorado poem. Still, Don Quixote has his place.

Cervantes on his galley sets the sword back in the sheath
(Don John of Austria rides homeward with a wreath.)
And he sees across a weary land a straggling road in Spain,
Up which a lean and foolish knight forever rides in vain,
And he smiles, but not as Sultans smile, and settles back the blade....
(But Don John of Austria rides home from the Crusade.)

Lepanto by G. K. Chesterton

{At the Battle of Lepanto, Miguel de Cervantes commanded a small boat intended for boarding actions and was badly wounded, permanently losing the use of his left arm. However, Don John of Austria approved four pay increases for Cervantes, so his merits as a officer and soldier were appreciated.}

And if I may suggest, read the following verse out loud. Only when poems are read aloud can one hear the cadence the poet intended.

Strong gongs groaning as the guns boom far,
Don John of Austria is going to the war,
Stiff flags straining in the night-blasts cold
In the gloom black-purple, in the glint old-gold,
Torchlight crimson on the copper kettle-drums,
Then the tuckets, then the trumpets, then the cannon, and he comes.

Per @BrookM's suggestion

Hi guys,

Lord Marcus from two idiots printing service here.

We wanted to solicit the community for ideas and input. Specifically about our website/ webstore
We currently have a large variety of miniature lines and terrain available. We would like to offer even more deals than our usual bulk buy drop-downs.

I was specifically thinking army deals or potentially One-Stop terrain bundles. What price point, does the community think that an army deal or a terrain bundle should be to where it's easy to make the decision to buy?

What other ranges or army deals would you like to see?

Our web store can be found at the link below and we appreciate any input you may give

The armor is really cool, especially on the leader.

That guy on the left (or at least his torso) has kind of a Yul Brynner pharaoh but overdressed look. I wonder how easy a head swap would be.

Hello everyone.



We are still here. We've just held off advertising while we get the order backlog under control.



We've also revamped our cleaning process for orders, and each order that includes resin miniatures going forward will have a printout with safety information.



We appreciate our customers working with us. If you have a current order and are wondering where it is, please message me and I will track things down. We are a two man company and while that should not impede us getting orders out in a timely fashion, we did get inundated and overwhelmed earlier this month (We still have family time to consider, and sundays we consider a day off.)



New pikemen are available in the medbury miniatures line.

Greetings and welcome to this weeks transparency post, where we here at TIPs pull back the curtain and keep you up to date as to goings on here at the "office."

Firstly, we apologize for the lateness of this post. We intended for these to be weekly however time slipped away from us last week.

We will be updating the webstore tomorrow/over the following week with a slew of new miniatures from a variety of sources.

Caballero miniatures is going to have his june releases added to the store.

The siege of pringar kickstarter has delivered, which means new fortress walls (with optional towers that can accomodate trebuchets) and siege equipment for any enterprising attacking force.

BigMrTong has more guards of atlantis out, this time wielding spears/harpoons.

And last but not least, @'ErramirOrlans' and peculiar companions have a slew of new offerings that just got fulfilled from their successful german empire kickstarter.

Regarding orders:

We had a resin machine break down this week. We are currently waiting on a replacement part after requesting warranty service.

FDM orders are trundling along as all of our FDM printers are operational. For non miniatures items, all of our machines now have multi-material upgrade units installed, so if you need something done up in multiple colors send us a private message.

Resin orders are proceeding apace, despite one of our machines being down. We are still catching up on the order queue, and we appreciate everyones patience.

As always, thank you for reading, and if you have ordered lately thank you for your support of our 2-man small business.

I wonder if the hornblower is meant to be Roland. Now Roland was a Frankish knight, but according to the La Chanson de Roland he commanded the rearguard of Charlemagne's army which was ambushed in Roncevaux Pass and destroyed. The pass is on the border of what is now Spain and France.

Could be, or just could be a Spanish knight with a warhorn.

I guess the best way to find out is buy one and use it however you like! A diorama would be especially cool

I like dioramas in museums, not for home use. My minis are meant for gaming, not display.

Oh, I'll probably get one eventually, and use him as Roland, as well as the questing knight you posted a few pages back.

Hi everyone,

Lord Marcus here from Two Idiots printing service. We here at TIPS wanted to do something special for Dakka Dakka members in relation to our current sale.

The current sale is 9 peculiar companion armored ogres (physical prints, so 9 physical models) for $24.99.

The following is our Dakka Special. Just mention you are a dakka dakka member in your order notes and we'll get the free captain added to your order.



Here's the link for the sale bundle

https://two-idiots-printing-service.myshopify.com/products/peculiar-companions-armored-ogres?_pos=1&_sid=2647f6f38&_ss=r&variant=40854399484073

Because everyone should have armored ogres in their collection.


Two Idiots 3D Printing Service - TIPS - pirates! @ 2021/07/16 14:59:25


Post by: lord marcus


We have had a few inquiries and so want to clarify things

ARMORED MIGHT SALE:

The sale is on a bundle package of 9 physical miniatures. These are not STL files.

As noted by commenters above, this works out to less that $3 per physical ogre miniature.

All you need to do is go to the armored ogre page, click on the drop down and select the sale package.

This deal is not limited, so if you want to buy multiples you can.

DAKKA DAKKA SPECIAL:

For DAKKA members only, if you purchase two of the sale bundles and mention you are a DAKKA member in your cart notes, an ogre captain miniature ($5.50 value) will be added to your order free of charge.

That giant is really cool. I would order exactly like option 2… and the price is pretty good. I spent too much on the the 2nd wave reaper pledge manager, and the Scythian pledge manager…

But the armored ogres and the giant are on my list. Maybe next month… any word on whether you will offer an upgrade for pre-cleaned (support removed) options?

And approximately how tall is that giant? Wonder how he compares to the mantic giant or the new GW ones.

The giant looks... Really low-detail and somewhat awkwardly posed. Basically, like he was sculpted as a regular sized dude, with the amount of detail of a regular infantry mini, and then upscaled several times.

1. Support removal is on the website as an option under services. It's also in the revolving feature on the front page.

2. I can get a photo of this guy next to a ruler if you'd like. The little zwielhander guys at his feet are 28mm scaled.

Thanks, I had to do a search for services to find it. One thing… if I order 7 ogres.., which comes out to $30, the cost to clean the supports is $20? Ouch. Yeah, I will consider it, but it kind of puts it in the probably not zone. Unfortunately.

That's the set price. We are willing to work with our customers on those.

Ross wanted to get a price up and we based it on people buying infantry figs at our base $2.50 rate.

Somewhat. Some of the hammered look to the armor texture is dependent on the printers resolution capabilities.

I can get a test print done up to show you.

Got my Giant in the mail yesterday. Actually ended up with 2... (Thanks Lord Marcus). The second one did not come with a right hand, but luckily i had some spare bits left from the mantic giant.

The mantic giant is taller, and looks a little more imposing with his bigger weapon... but not out of place next to the two imperial giants. I included a frost grave female soldier and knight to show the scale better. Excellent sculpts and the print quality on the giants is great.

Edit: Waiting on another 100mm round base for the 2nd imperial giant.

More Spanish from Caballero miniatures, the new Russians from peculiar companions, more from medbury miniatures, and one currently secret project with a big name in the sculpting scene.

Also filled it out. Hope it helps!

I would just like to add though, I voted 10 for the quality, but for clarity I don't really have any idea of what a good quality 3d print looks like as I have no experience with them. From the image provided, it does look very good and I'd more then happily buy a selection of them.


In the survey, I said I'd like to see more fantasy civilians. I forgot to put down that I'd also be keen to see fantasy weapon packs for unusual weapons and siege equipment like catapults/trebuchets/etc.
