July Release and Trove Update Preview
🕑 Added 2020-06-25 10:06:37 +0000 UTCFirst off, a big thanks to my beta testers for test printing Maya (even the diorama tentacles) while my printer was out of action. Your help has been invaluable so a massive thank you goes out to you all. Fortunately it's (almost) back in working order so I can print my own version and get some photos done.
Maya, The Kraken Priestess, is complete and will be available on July 3rd (or earlier depending on completion of the Patreon billing cycle). This release consists of:
- 1:10 scale model of Maya, The Kraken Priestess along with:
• 3 head options - standard, bald, and head and hair separate to allow for easier painting/airbrushing.
• Chains or rope options for the hands to change the tone of the piece whereas she is holding onto the ropes rather than physically restrained.
• Additional diorama pieces - This was a difficult thing to figure out. Some had expressed interest in making a diorama out of this piece using resin pours and the like to make one of those cool resin block water pieces. I've tried to accommodate this as much as possible with modular larger tentacles. They can be printed with the water splashes to act as a base if it's being fixed to a flat surface, or without the splash and the addition of extensions accompanied by base risers to allow depth to be added along with your own water effects. It's difficult to describe but there is a read me file and images to help explain this included in the zip files.
• Magnet Wells - 6x3mm round magnet wells added to all parts of the model capable of supporting them, including the base.
• SFW and NSFW - As usual SFW and NSFW versions are included along with combined, multipart, and pre-supported files for every single piece. A note about the combined versions: Over the last few months I have began adding more options to my models and as a result I can no longer create combined versions for every permutation of the model. The logistics, management and storage of several dozen combinations is impractical and unfeasible for me to continue supporting. As a result the combined versions from this point on will be the "canon" version (in SFW and NSFW) as depicted in the original concept art. - 1:10 scale bust versions with the same options as above with additional simple and special stand options.
- 1:1 Jewelry Charms - Additional sculpts used for decoration of the model but at a 1:1 scale for you to paint and play around with.
- Texture swatch featuring the 4 most prominent textures across the models to allow you to practice before committing to the model.
- Apocalyptic Attraction 1:10 scale bust added to The Trove as combined, multipart, and pre-supported STLs.
Thanks everyone, stay safe!

Really love her!!!
By all means go ahead. Sometimes there are places that would suit another vent hole, though I'd rather leave the decision to put them there up to person printing it as I know some would rather not have another hole to fill and smooth.
Hello thank you for the reply. I have a skinny uv light, but unfortunately not skinny enough. If it's ok with you I would like to mess with the stl and add a small drain hole on the sole of the foot. That way when I dunk it in the ethanol the air will escape through there and it'll clean out the inside. Nobody will see the bottom anyway.
Hey there, I don't think I had this problem with the leg but I've had a similar issue sometimes with other prints. What I normally do is make sure I've I've got some paper towels wrapped around where the drain hole is and (make sure you're wearing eye protection just in case) use a can of compressed air to blow out the interior. If you've got a UV torch you can then shine it into the hole to cure the interior a bit before curing the exterior. Hope that helps
Hello guys just subscribed and I have a quick question. Are any of you having trouble cleaning out the inside of the legs on Felicia? I've done a few passes and dunks in the ethanol, but when I pull out the model and shake it I still see grey liquid coming out. The leg is just too skinny and so is the hole so air gets trapped inside.
