Recommendations for 3D printers to print Axis and Allies pieces, and customizations?

[cjm2112]

Hello All,

I Have Axis & Allies 1941, Anniversary Edition, AAA Zombies, and AAA 1940 Pacific and AAA 1940 Europe. Looking for recommendations for 3D printers, to print Axis and Allies pieces, and customization’s? Been looking at 3D printers over the last couple years. The prices have gone down, and the quality has gone up. Any body here recommend any home 3D printers?

Thank You

Chris

Hi cjm welcome to the site. You might try asking @vodot he seems quite knowledgeable about them. Haven’t seen him on in a while though.

Thanks for summoning me back :) As I said in the PM, since I use an industrial printer I don’t actually have a ton of hands on experience with desktops. That being said, I’ve gotten good quality out of them before, especially if all of the below are true:

1. I’m using a file that corresponds well to the minimum achievable feature resolution for the printer
2. I use print settings that give my models the best chance of coming out well
3. I set my expectations correctly- Trying to print an AAA infantry unit on a desktop printer is going to be tough.

Thank you for the information @vodot . Yes the AAA infantry pieces would be hard to print.
Looking at an 3D printer like the ANYCUBIC Photon S 3D Printer, UV LCD Resin Printer with Dual Z-axis Linear Rail and Upgraded UV Module & Print Quietly and Off-line Printing, Build Size 4.53"(L) x 2.56"(W) x 6.49"(H).

I think this one will do well with most AAA pieces.
