I’m still learning with my Ender 3 pro, but so far it works well. In my opinion, it isn’t great for printing anything other than spaceships and terrain, so I would prefer to spend money on actual minis than on STL files. Everything Is e printed so far has come from Thingiverse.

However, I did pledge a reasonable amount for the Raygun Raptors Files, mostly because they seem to be designed to print well in PLA.

I haven't used mine in a while due to filament costs continuously rising and consistently going out of stock when I need to reorder, but I ended up with a qidi x-one that I use primarily for scenery. I tried printing a figure and a couple tanks which didn't turn out too bad but decided scenery was a much better use of the printer.

The printer itself is pretty decent and easy to use with no assembly needed.

I found printablescenery.com that has a a bunch of modular nice looking sets that look great for fantasy as well as 40k. I purchased a bunch but have only printed a few so far.

Aside from those purchases, I use thingyverse for additional 40k scenery models.

I have a folder of shame to go with my pile of shame...

I've had 2 folders full of glorious Antenocitis Workshop tanks that I've been saving for a special day of resin printing. Then added the raygun Raptors to that, and a Heresylab Admech lady. Then I've got a mechanical wolf and cyberpunk kickstarter bubbling away just now as well. And that's just for the resin printer that only arrived yesterday, but I need to sort a home for it.

I have various cheap.and cheerful scenery sets and a more expensive set from Imperial Terrain to burn out the FDM printer on. Currently making a Portals.of WOR thing to use as a display stand in my new Cabinet.

Plus all the stuff from thingiverse... I think I may have a problem...

Need a line in the poll for yes, but rarely, or I usually can find a free design.

Yes, I buy a small amount of prints and fid it saves me a lot of money that would otherwise have gone to GW!

I've bought a hand full of files. Usually it's when I need X model for a project, no one has posted a free version, and my meagre modeling skills aren't up to creating it for myself.

The amount of money I spend monthly on Patreon stl subscriptions finally topped over £100 pcm today (not including the cost of the MEGA I sort and store them on). Given I've never printed anything yet, I'm starting to wonder if I have a problem...
