Can you please introduce yourself and tell us more about your 3D printing hobby (when it began, how you found out about it, your first 3D printer, etc.)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hey everyone! My name is Dave. I live in Brisbane, Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve always been heavy into pop culture, TV\/Movies\/Music\/Gaming. I&#8217;m in my mid-30s and still massively young at heart. I&#8217;m paying off a mortgage now and have my dream geek den in my apartment. I&#8217;ve always wanted a room with a showcase of models\/figures, but I&#8217;ve never been able to find the ones I really want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I stumbled onto 3D printing and figured I&#8217;d just get what I want myself! I&#8217;ve discovered a hobby that is just &#8216;Me&#8217;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m currently printing on the Ender 3 3D printer and achieving amazing quality. However, I want to upgrade to Resin Printing soon. I am just getting over the &#8216;entry-level&#8217; printing before I upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gambody \u2013 Premium 3D printing marketplace by far has the best 3D printing models accompanied with printer settings to help achieve amazing results. I recommend them as much as I can for people new into the scene!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-10-1024x621.jpg\" alt=\"40K Space Marine chapter 3D printing figurine\" class=\"wp-image-10220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-10.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-10-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-10-768x466.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-10-860x522.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-10-680x412.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-10-500x303.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-10-400x243.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-10-250x152.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-10-200x121.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-10-100x61.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-10-76x46.jpg 76w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-10-50x30.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Maker: Dave English<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.

So, when we saw the Chaplain 40K model &#8216;pop up&#8217; on Gambody marketplace, it was an instant must-have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. How challenging was Chaplain 40K model to make? Did you experience any issues with STL files or 3D printer settings on the Creality Ender 3?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chaplain 40K model is such a beast of a model!  It was definitely one of the toughest prints I&#8217;ve done, but also so rewarding and I learnt so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I printed on the Ender 3 with PLA and used Cura as my slicer program. I plugged in the Gambody&#8217;s recommended settings that came with the Chaplain 40K model which worked well. I had to turn the model pieces in Cura sometimes to get the best result &#8216;support&#8217; wise, and I printed one piece at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-3-1024x655.jpg\" alt=\"Chaplain 40K rib cage on the staff\" class=\"wp-image-10203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-3.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-3-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-3-768x491.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-3-860x550.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-3-680x435.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-3-500x320.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-3-400x256.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-3-250x160.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-3-200x128.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-3-100x64.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-3-76x49.jpg 76w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-3-50x32.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Maker: Dave English<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The toughest part for me was the rib cage on the staff. Tearing the supports out from inside the rib cage was a big challenge. I ended up breaking that model piece, removed the supports, then glued the rib cage back together, not the prettiest option, but it worked out for me in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something I did notice was the cape on the Chaplain&#8217;s &#8216;back&#8217; and &#8216;legs&#8217; didn&#8217;t align on the model. I thought I did something wrong. However, I think that&#8217;s how the model is designed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-9-1024x634.jpg\" alt=\"40K Chaplain models for 3D printing\" class=\"wp-image-10216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-9.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-9-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-9-768x476.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-9-860x532.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-9-680x421.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-9-500x310.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-9-400x248.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-9-250x155.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-9-200x124.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-9-100x62.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-9-76x47.jpg 76w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-9-50x31.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Maker: Dave English<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.

Did you have a reference for Chaplain 40K while painting this figurine, or did you use your imagination to create such a fantastic project?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this one, I used my imagination.

However, I found that with a Warhammer 40K Space Marine being &#8216;Rough and Dirty&#8217; really worked well!

LESS IS MORE! You can always add more paint to a model, however, correcting an &#8216;overuse&#8217; of paint is really tough. Just take your time. If you start feeling like &#8220;I just want this finished!&#8221; or &#8220;Oh wow! I&#8217;m almost done! Can&#8217;t wait to take photos!&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PUT YOUR BRUSH DOWN! Trust me, you&#8217;ll be glad you took a time out and didn&#8217;t overdo it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11. The model looks big for the board game. Did you make it for display?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely for display. My friend got a glass case with a revolving base and lights. It is such a great model for showing off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-7-1024x310.jpg\" alt=\"Detailed view of the 3D printed Chaplain figurine\" class=\"wp-image-10212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-7.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-7-300x91.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-7-768x233.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-7-860x260.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-7-680x206.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-7-500x151.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-7-400x121.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-7-250x76.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-7-200x61.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-7-100x30.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-7-76x23.jpg 76w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chaplain-40K-figurine-3D-printed-7-50x15.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Maker: Dave English<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12.

I really want to get into the diorama scene and make a cabinet with a different scene on each shelf &#8211; Desert, Jungle, Post-Apocalyptic Cities, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13.
