That's the problem with do3d, they offer ppl different prices and no customer service after purchase.

I buy from them enough that my prices are pretty consistent

I mean, like one person buys a certain file for $120 , then others say they bought the same file for 100, and then others say they bought it for $150

Nope that was 59.00 more...for 259.00 I'll spend the time rendering in Smoothie 3D...plenty of good images here to render a good set of files...I would guess that's what they do.

What’s Smoothie 3D a program?
Quantum Stan

Yes, it's an online 3D rendering utility, it allows 2D images to be made into 3D models, I've been working on birds and they are sorta hard but these costume pieces are not to difficult. I crop out the piece I want to work with then drop it in Smootie 3D to make my file, then check it and clean up in Fusion 360 if needed or add thickness.

Cool more pictures or reference better final file.

Just watched a quick tutorial and wow! Need to try this program out.

Yes it is, once you learn that, you'll never need to pay for 3D files again. I'm ordering my printer next week, going to start a new Quantum suit in 3D from the new images from Hot Toys I'm rendering.

Which printer are you going to buy?

A Creality CR-10, I was going to get the Ender 3 but I want a larger build area.

I would recommend the Vivedino Raptor 2.0.

I'm Trying to get into this but I'm a complete noob when it comes to 3d printing. Ultimately I'd like something that would be sufficient to build a full suit with

Honestly with Creality Machines (which I have 4 of) you’ll spend a lot of time chasing down issues and upgrading the printer. The Vivedino Raptor 2.0 is a great large stable platform and will get you where you want. Don’t cheap out on a printer you’ll end up sinking hundreds of more dollars into later on.

Ya price isn't really a issue it's more about going in the right direction and simplicity of use.

Well I can buy 4 Creality for one of the others, my son has an Ender 3 still stock no issues, and I've been following a Creality group so not to concerned about problems. They all have issues if your a noob. I appreciate the input. I've seen lots of good and bad with them all. I have a pretty good handle what everyone has problems with and all the upgrades are personal preference.
I believe it's like any hobby you start slow and see where you go.
