About the supports
🕑 Added 2020-11-26 15:11:47 +0000 UTCMany times you ask us how to support the figures. We save very complex miniatures that you will not receive in this Patreon. We almost always do it in automatic and then make small adjustments.
The most important thing is the choice of position. The miniatures must be printed inclined, protecting the most important areas, such as the face.
The current version of chitubox includes marks where the supports should go. It hits almost 99%.
Sometimes some of them may not be placed, so check them carefully. In this case you have one missing on the knee.
Some pieces like the sword, may require additional supports.
They are long and straight pieces that when they are inclined could have steps if not reinforced.
Another option would be to turn the miniature around.The supports in this case are more visible on the back, but much less. Also the growth of the sword is more natural. So in this case it is the option I would use.
As final tricks, I recommend the support with sphere in the tip. It is easier to sand spheres than to fill holes that can leave the conical tip.
You can also put some thicker supports in the easier to clean parts, like soles or skirts. That helps to make the print more solid and avoids vibration lines.
Our intention is to be able to give you the supported miniatures over time. But that requires that we grow a little more to be able to face it.
I hope that it helps you and if you have concrete doubts do not hesitate to ask.

Will do thanks for advice. (I think I just print too much stuff at once, like full plate XD ....beginners fails )

The wheels are very simple and should not cause you any problems. They are vertically inclined slightly inwards so that the spike does not need to be supported. Put two or three thick supports at the beginning so that it holds well and that's it. On the horse I would do something like this: There are many supports but they fall on smooth areas easy to clean. The important thing is to make sure that the hair goes to the edge. This makes it easier for you to clean the most visible area. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zzh1n4fp2mgxank/caballo.jpg?dl=0
