>>10494811A spool of filament costs around 30$ and you get 1kg worth of plastic. The figure itself weighs around 40 grams (can be made heavier with certain printing settings). So from a 30$ spool (and subtracting possible print failures) you could reliably get 15 figures.
>>10494822>but i'm shit at scalingI had trouble with scaling as well. Everything looked fine on the computer but once printed some areas didn't look right. So I just adjusted the scaling and printed the parts until they looked okay to the naked eye. Now I know why even toy companies have issues scaling their characters properly.
There's no real formula from my experience, just trial and error.
>>10494826>TeccotoysThey've been an inspiration for me. They deserve to be way more popular than they are now.
You're getting bad results on the Teccotoys stuff because they were designed for resin. I designed my stuff for filament. Most 3D artists just model statues focusing on aesthetics alone with no real regard for the manufacturing process, this is why getting details out of filament printers is so difficult.
