Hello dragonbonded!

Many of y'all have already received your files and 3D printed your dragons which is amazing! Cheers for the pictures and for tagging us, it simply fills our hearts with dragon fire.

Equally you may have known, nosotros did not get the log from DriveThruRPG correctly the start time simply the support staff has finally sent united states the full log. So, this week we volition start sending the codes to backers who told u.s.a. they couldn't find the e-postal service the beginning time. All the same, remember to look at your SPAM folder for an e-mail from DriveThruRPG.com or to look into your DriveThruRPG business relationship with the aforementioned electronic mail accost every bit your Kickstarter account.

If you have already told united states about your missing code/link, don't worry, Itzel (our new community director) will answer to y'all soon. If you oasis't, please send an electronic mail to kickstarter@draco-studios.com with the subject "Missing link"

Please contact u.s.a. over e-mail rather than Direct Messages on Kickstarters since visibility on those is limited.

Here are some pictures from other capitalist's printed dragons:

His Radiant Majesty, Aureus Fulgen!

Kuxcoatl, Arcane of Power.

While nosotros will have some art prints at the berth, these are non the art prints included with your dragons. All fine art prints (add together-ons, reward tier or included in your dragon box) are A5 sized.

The electric current artprints at Gen Con are just for the Dragons (no lairs, maps or stats) and if you bustle up, yous may even option some fine art prints signed by Tom Babbey... or you could visit Tom at his booth in the Art Show which is very close to Draco Studios' booth.

Make certain to check our Gen Con events and so y'all can join into an Epic Encounter against Baastherox, mastered past the sculptor of these dragons himself.

Pre-orders closing soon!

While surveys will stay open until when we take finished all models (dragons, bases, breath weapons, etc), the pre-gild store in Backerkit will end correct before Gen Con starts! So if you have a friend who didn't pledge while the campaign was live or joined at pre-orders, let them know about this. Once again, this won't affect backers from the campaign to withal modify your survey and become the add-ons at the discounted price.

Physical dragon miniatures might non exist available again in the near hereafter. And STL files will notwithstanding exist available in DriveThruRPG simply no longer at the discounted price on which they were at Kickstarter (l% off).

Rewards status

First of all, we accomplished to release the STL files for the starting time 3 dragons prior to Gen Con. Make sure you subscribe to updates for those products in DriveThruRPG so you can get notifications whenever we update bundles with more content.

Then far this is the status for each reward:

• Dice: Already manufactured and imported in USA. Local pickup at Gen Con will be available and after that, nosotros volition transport those to a warehouse for fulfillment in shipping moving ridge 1.
• Art Prints: Currently under design prior to prepress. In terms of artwork finished: seven/7 Dragons; 5/vii Lairs (update about them soon); GM screen artwork awaiting (nosotros will accept a fun activity for backers here in the near futurity)
• Gameplay content: Most content has been already written and edited, including 5e & 9th Historic period Stats, Epic Encounters. Maps are pending. World Primer is being revised.
• Dragon Models: Aureus, Kuxcoatl and Sivax models take been finished and distributed. Nixis and Baastherox will be released in October. Rawraxxa and Dehrilya will be released in December. If posible before, we will practice so.
• Actress models: at this point, we are planning to sculpt the extra pieces for dragons at the same fourth dimension as the full-torso dragons.
• Physical miniatures and parts: Right at present we are in schedule for wave 1 (Dec). The learning bend to produce this massive miniatures is over and we are able to produce iii dragons per solar day, slowly gaining speed to 4 and then v dragons per day. We accept just received some other 3D printed for the Masters which will allow u.s. to speed up printing masters for the Wave 2 and Wave 3 dragons (the ones unlocked with Stretch Goals).

New campaign... maybe?

As yous may know, we take two major products: Dragonbond and Eldritch Century. Early in our 2019 planning we had another Eldritch Century release in late July (to exist live at Gen Con). We decided not to launch some other campaign until the post-obit weather happened:

• Our start campaign (Eldritch Century resin miniatures wave i) to be 100% fulfilled. To solar day, all parcels have been sent and there are just 7 parcels left in transit.
• Our second campaign (War for Craven Island) to be under mass manufacture. We take been going dorsum and along with revisions simply we are almost over. We wait to have this last corrections on the rulebook prepress files inside 1-2 weeks.
• Our third campaign (Dragons of the Carmine Moon) to have all the basic Dragons stl files distributed, Die manufactured, and miniatures production on rail for wave 1. We are merely missing to release the content in bundle 2 for the basic 3 dragons.

Rather than launching our projection equally we planned, we call back it is more of import to ask our backers first if you would be fine with it. Our delivery is to keep communication flowing on all projects. Another of import thing to mention is that nosotros have different teams for each projection with little overlap on some squad members. For the new entrada (RPG campaign with STL files already finished - except for possible stretch goals) we take our writers and game designers available (Stats and Epic encounters are finished) and our sculptor for Dragons of the Scarlet Moon is non the one modelling the Eldritch Century miniatures. And finally, the staff making the miniatures have zero involvement in the Eldritch Century entrada given that we are not going to offer miniatures, simply the STL files for them.

Let usa know in the comments your thoughts, we truly value your input.

Regardless of the launching date for the side by side campaign of Eldritch Century, we want to invite you lot to some fun activities prior to its release. Some of them can be washed remotely, others volition be done at Gen Con, merely to have a footling actress fun.

Join the initiative!

We really hope to meet you at Gen Con!

3D Printing 101 by Axolote Gaming

In this update I share recommendations on settings, printers and filaments. I will also link some videos of people who have done in-depth guides for specific aspects of 3d printing.

If y'all have a handle on printing or are non planning on printing them you can skip this update, yet if you are planning on press them and are new to this, please read ahead.

First the Machines

FDM - this is the most common and cheapest pick if you lot want to get into 3d printing. It uses melted plastic and prints in layers, meaning that the model gets "sliced" into sections of the resolution you determine to uses (regularly from 50 to 300 microns) and and then does layer by layer, one on pinnacle of the next resulting in a solid piece.

This procedure has some caveats, for example overhangs outcome in places where there is no material underneath, and that surface area will crave supports; supports, like most settings, tin can be changed and so you reach the all-time result for you. Here is a small video explaining how supports work, and even gives you a preset that works pretty well in my experience.

How supports expect like, some printers tin fifty-fifty practise h2o-soluble supports that literally disappear when left in h2o!

Filaments - While there are two master options for FDM printers, I am going to save you a big while of testing, fails and ultimately non getting the right settings. Go for PLA , dissimilar ABS; it is quite forgiving, the room temp doesn't take to exist platonic, you lot can have some drafts, and you exercise NOT need an enclosure which leads to a lot more problems than information technology actually solves, and the benefits of ABS are minimal in the long run.  And so, lets just say that after a lot of research and tests, you have now decided that when printing miniatures and not-functional models, you will e'er use PLA.

Settings - Hither is a video for press Miniatures,  however some of those concepts are non really applicable for bigger models (like our crawly dragons) but you might want to go used to them, there are a lot of profiles in the web for printing things. Here are some profiles specific for the Ender 3 or v. Only they should work with near printers. I will say that sticking to 100-150 micron layers for the dragons should yield bang-up results, most of the parts Will require supports, and so get acquainted with those too, temp varies greatly by different filaments make sure to search for the best temperature for your called brand of filament (Reddit has a whole department on filaments and print temps), likewise go on in mind that there is no aureate profile for printing, specially not one that fits all printers so make sure y'all know your printer and are willing to fine melody it!

Want to buy an FDM 3d printer?

•  Ender 3 - $199
•  Ender 5 - $319
•  Prusa i3 mk3 - $749
•  Wanhao - $357

These are printers I know and have worked with and can vouch for their quality, depending on your budget you can get any of them, they are all great and have some differences. If you need more than info there are a lot of reviews for ALL of these printers so search for them and decide what best fits your needs.

Resin - Printers that cure resin in layers to create a final solid model, the quality on resin will ALWAYS exist better than FDM, however this comes at a toll:

• Reduced build plate size
• Lengthy setup and cleanup for every piece
• Smelly and toxic fabric

However if you are wiling to endure all of these, you could take a terminal slice that requires little to no sanding and which has a quality that can only be improved by professional printers.

Resin printers use supports also, they are a flake harder to prepare correctly and you will probably need to larn to correctly arrange them for all-time print results.

You will need to launder the pieces in an IPA bath, after that you volition need to remove the supports with clippers and finally you volition need to cure the piece in UV light so the textile sets correctly.

Hither are some Resin printers i recommend:

•  Wanhao d7 plus - $585
•  Anycubic Photon - $375
•  Course 2 - $2850

Again these are printers that are tested in the customs and have skilful results, as far as the dragons they will probably need to be scaled down to fit the reduced press space, or split into more pieces so proceed this in heed!

Conclusions

If you are new to 3d printing, there are a lot of resources, and when you buy your offset 3d printer the customs will guide you lot so y'all can have the best experience with printing. It is ane of the about involved communities and you will feel correct at habitation.

As for the dragons, if yous are going to get only one printer, I would recommend the FDM printer since it has an easier learning curve and volition exist able to impress the dragons full size from the starting time. If you lot have both bachelor then a hybrid press would be the way to go, print smaller more detailed pieces (the head, artillery and tail terminate) on the resin printer and the rest on  the FDM printer giving you ameliorate quality on the most detailed pieces and a faster and less expensive alternative for the bodies and wings.

If you accept any specific questions and tin can't find an answer annotate in the campaign then we or any other experienced backers can help you out! There are not silly questions when learning something new, don't let that thought stop you from asking in the comments section.

Send your pictures!

Nosotros know yous volition notice all the info provided by Axolote Gaming, our trusted 3D printing partner, to exist very useful. Now that yous have already fix for a dandy kickoff please, share your pictures and stories with us!! We want to run into how you lot paint your miniatures, how they look at your table, and to read what adventures you have for them or your gaming grouping.

3d STL update, resin product update
well-nigh 3 years ago – Thu, Jul eleven, 2019 at 02:37:18 AM

Hi Dragonbonded!

Kuxcoatl with a Reaper Basic 32 mm miniature for scale

First we want to show you i of the commencement Kuxcoatls to come out from product, the parts fit perfectly and the build is quite easy to exercise; the resin looks great and it captured every item of the feathers and came out magnificent.

STL files

STL files are due for delivery adjacent week. This first delivery will include the three base dragons offered in the entrada, including their extra head options and also the damaged battle scar parts for those who added the STL packet 2. At that place are differences in the splitting nosotros did for resin manufacturing and the 3d print parts. All the 3d printed pieces will crave supports of your selection in both FDM and Resin printing. Beneath is the concluding split for Kuxcoatl.

The main differences from the resin build is that the tail was merged into a unmarried piece because 3d printing does not need to be cast and so we were able to join some pieces. Similar tho this, the open-mouthed head was joined into a unmarried piece. The claws were left separate since in test printing the fingers were quite hard to print correctly unless printing upright.

All the STL files with come pre-oriented in what we used for test prints, however we recommend that you rotate and orient them to the best of your knowledge so you get the all-time prints depending on your machine, settings and material.

The biggest parts of this dragon are the wings measuring 135x110x100 mm so even the wings should fit in whatever FDM motorcar with a bed of 6x6x6 inches. For resin we recommend either scaling the model down or press hybrid (larger parts on FDM and smaller more intricate parts in resin).

Here is a pocket-size comparing between the dragon, on the left is the resin bandage piece (Battle Scars head) as example of the quality of the final pieces people will exist getting with the concrete rewards, center is a resin print, printed on a Wanhao7 DLP resin machine with 50 micron layers, and finally to the correct is the FDM dragon printed on a prusa MK3, with 100 micron layers in PLA.

As you can see the quality is definitely smashing in all formats and no thing what y'all chose you lot volition be very happy!

Since we are getting closer to start sending the STL files please hurry up and start completing your survey hither . Retrieve y'all will yet be able to add or change your choice of add-ons subsequently.

Modest fixes in the pledge director
about 3 years ago – Thu, Jun twenty, 2019 at 12:41:10 AM

Hello dragonbonded,

This is a very quick update to let you know nearly some minor errors in the configuration of the surveys that are now fixed and clarifications about the pledges.

• Bakers in the STL reward tier are now able to see dice, prints and other concrete add-ons. If you select any of these, you will need to input your mailing address later in the survey.
• STL bundle 2 had an error in the settings and requested for mailing accost. Since this is a digital particular, no mailing accost is needed now. This issue is now fixed.
• Most pledge levels (Dragon miniatures and STL files reward tier) already includes the STL packet one which contains all dragon models (full-body), alternate heads and scenic bases. The STL package ii is not included in any reward level unless y'all select information technology as an add-on; STL packet ii includes Dragon busts, Breath weapons and boxing scar parts.
• Pledge manager volition remain open until when we take finished all models for the campaign. This includes scenic bases, battle scars, breath weapons and, of course, all dragons and their busts. However, you lot can answer your survey today with preliminary selections and even so make changes equally we share with yous the models. This helps us to estimate a preliminary manufacture plan.

Nigh popular dragon is Kuxcoatl so far (both, miniature and art).

At this point all backers should accept already received an e-mail with the link to their survey. If you can't find it, look for the SPAM folder, Promotions binder or a like tag. You lot tin always recover your survey hither: https://dragonsoftheredmoon.backerkit.com/

50% of y'all have already answered your surveys, Cheers! As said earlier, past answering fast you are really helping u.s.a. to move forward; the production staff can plan accordingly to the amount of dragons and add-ons for each shipping moving ridge; also when we transport the first batch of STL files adjacent month your e-mail service volition be already included and we can avert re-sending files. Remember that you tin can respond your survey today and still make changes in the coming months; we will not lock surveys until when we have shown all models for all add-ons.

Please let united states of america know if you run into whatever other issues with the pledge director and nosotros volition gear up them as soon as possible.
