If you have any kind of trouble or feedback about Pre-Supported files, don't exitate to tag @Sephiroa, @Omn0mm and @Risc66 in this pre-supported channel in our Discord. They will gladly help you, and that platform is much better than this comment section to solve these kind of issues :)


LORE AND PICTURES

The noble Dragonguard is an ancient order of Dragonblood knights who swore allegiance to Ghaomir, the ancient and supreme Dragon-God.
Once human, the spirits of the most valiant ancestors among the order had been infused with the sacred dragon's blood, turning them into immortal creatures of great might and wisdom.
Among the most acclaimed heroes of this order of knights, the skalds still sings about the wise leader Scramax the Battlemage; and the brutal "one man army" Nasmaraax the Destroyer, killer of wyverns, a mighty barbarian of disproportionate dimensions feral as a raging Dragon. Hundreds of years ago, during the epic battle for the city of Torm, the Dragonguard and the Fighter's Guild fought valiantly against the forces of Tialevor and his army of Soulless and Ashen Alfar.
Even the legendary Dragon Ornithaax, son of the Dragon-God Ghaomir, took part in the battle, decimating the ranks of the current Tyrant-God.
In the age of ashes, the Dragonguard order lives in total seclusion, awaiting the resurrection of the revered Ghaomir to oust the God-Tyrant from his throne.

Our 3d printable figures come with ball-jointed wrists and various weapon options for infinite customization. With minimum resizing, the joints will work with any of the previous releases weapons, tools and shields!:

GUILD MEMBERS DISCOUNT CODES

And here our final Lineup render. We really hope you'll enjoy this Set!

If you are reading the Lore we are including for the factions (the others are in the previous Monthly Releases posts, in the shop or even on Trello), you might have noticed that we are trying to give you all the models you need to recreate the Battle of Torm, the crucial point when Tialevor transformed the land of Aera into the Scourgeland and converted into the Tyrant-God.
He is the next Epic Boss coming in December (probably about day 15th)
We are also going to release the Alpha of our skirmish game GUILDS in the next weeks, so many things going on! We hope to have a Battle of Torm scenario to release too, wich will include an alliance of Dragonguard and Fighter's Guild against Tialevor, his Soulless Vampires and the Ashen Alfar.

MyMiniFactory Library System  (Beta)

We are finally starting to release our Monthly Releases on MyMiniFactroy to our dear patrons!
As this system is new and still on beta, we are starting from our first Sets from 2019 (starting with May) and send invitations to our former Adventurers and Merchants of that month.
You'll be able to reedem the files on MMF by logging in or creating an account, of course using the same email used here on Patreon to support us.
The files will be found in the section called My Library>Objects Shared with me.
The process will continue chronologically inviting patrons whom have supported Artisan Guild on specific months to redeem those specific releases.
Thank you so much for your patience!

Example: If you have supported us 2019 May and June, and then you stopped, you will get the correspondend 2 monthly Releases Ogre Marauders and Dwarven Defenders.

MyMiniFactory support team invite you to write any question regarding the system (or any potential problem or missing release) at info@myminifactory.com


Thank you so much for supporting us!

June Soler

Hi, I tryed to download the files back in time with no luck and I have been MIA due to a surgery until now. Can I still download these files?

Dani Barbosa

Sent a message. i missed downloading these last month.

Chad Sax

No way now, You can use Discount code for discount on MyMiniFactory for purchase this set.

How do we download this set?

I just realized I don't have the pre-supported versions of these - is it possible to get those sent to me again?

Yeah me too - tried several times, but Sync never let me download :/

check your pm :)

Artisan Guild

Due to some delays at MyMiniFactory, at the moment we have to rely on links. They currently only distributed the first 3 months of our Patreon, and they slowly will continue chronologically.

i tried to download yesterday and couldn't get the link to work for sync

I sent them a message but no response yet so im on the same boat

victor rangel

Has anyone gotten a response?

Gonna be a bit of work when Andreas wakes up it seems, for those needing DL links haha. Just send AG a message, they'll send you the files.

Jordan Wagg

Same here. Still Nov, was hoping to download before the end of the month.

Jamie Duke

Never got the link for MMF

Dhruv Patel

Several hours left in the day here why is the download link missing after the longest holiday week of the year. I was hoping to see the MMF come thru and waited to download to save bandwidth until I got home today.. still not there so need a new download link or the MMF invite.

TreasureGoblins

I just joined but have to go to work. Guess i missed out on this months set... not a good way to start i guess

victor rangel

Put the kids to bed and come to download this month's Patreon subs and... no link. Hopefully it comes back up soon. I never download models before the last day because there always seems to be random updates/tweaks to supported minis on my Patreons.

ditto not a great way to start...

Eric Lee

Still november here...

This time I actually set a reminder so I would download before month's end, and yet the links are down... oops!

Kory Bearclaw

Still Nov here as well....Just came on to DL

Donald Foulk

I sent them a message you all might want to do the same.

lol shutting down link at 7:30pm EST? Might wanna rethink that.

Likewise -- had not factored in a time zone difference.

Chris Laliberte

I too am looking for the link

Same here, I just joined to support thinking the dragon guard were the November release. Can I get a link please?

Same here, i just joined and as soon as i got home to download it i found out there was no link...

I just joined and no download link?

I am trying to download these also but don't see the link.

Michael B Fieweger

Same here, just joined up specifically to grab these before November ends and the link is gone.

Same as Louis, here too. Any help would be great

Same as Louis, seems like the download link was removed before midnight, I cannot find it I'd be ok with MyMiniFactory release too but I'm not sure when to expect it going by what's written in the post :/

Alessandro Caffi

Just went to download this and the link is down early?

Louis Weinzweig

We are waiting for them, actually they probably have delivered the very first 3 months (Ogre, Dwarves and Depth Ones)

Artisan Guild

These look amazing...

Alan Crooks

Here's hoping the MMF library thing will take over from the downloads - both services generate bad zip files that fail their internal CRC checks :|

Morten Haggren

It's comforting to know it's not my machines. Thanks for confirming that for me.

McCrary's Hobby Room

I've ended up having to get the unsupported models and support them in Prusa lately. The included supports fail the same way for me.

Kittifizz

Anyone else having trouble printing some of this month's models? I've tried printing each version of the pinup twice and all I get is a pile of goop. The supports start, but when it gets to her body, it just fails. Also having trouble getting either left hand to print for Scramax. Again the supports start, but when they get to the hands it just fails. Tried to print them on my Elegoo Mars. I might give it a go on my Epax X10 to see if it changes, but I've already re-leveled the Elegoo to try to solve this.

McCrary's Hobby Room

Ive actually had a few failed prints with the presupports myself. Ive ended up taking the unsupported models into Prusaslicer then Chitubox.

Kittifizz

If I had to guess it only works for the collection they linked to - but you can use the code "BFAG50" to get 50% off everything from Artisan Guild on MMF, I think that should cover individual models aswell? I haven't actually tested the code it's just from MMF news letter

Morten Haggren

does the MMF discount code not work on individual models or am i doing something wrong?

Robert Johnson

Dragonlings is the folder name :))

Artisan Guild

Where are the modular dragon mounts please, chaps? I can't find them.

3D Guy

Its best to use, or provide files for the software your customers use the most. Not promote a new software that the pay version has better support features.

Chris Goergen

Are you going full in on this LYCHEE subscription to buy slicer? Because it sucks, and these supports suck.

Chris Goergen

I love these models, I've been printing them on my FDM printer and they come out looking pretty great. Sorry for not having them in the preferred medium but I hope ya'll get a chance to see them online somewhere.

Capsized

These new Lychee supports are just consistently awful. I have had more trouble printing the Dragonguard set than I have with any set prior. Every single mini I've tried printing with the Lychee supports has failed in some way, even the sword crossguards don't hold up and leave the horns distorted or just outright missing. Please switch back to Chitubox, or use more robust attachment points. Also, the Vampire Modular 'A' base isn't even attached to the supports and that's far from the only problem in that set's supports! https://i.imgur.com/4Udpq4W.png

PoptartsNinja

same issue. -30% code will not work with Ogre or Kobald set. Just joined, pls advise..

you can use a program like meshmixer and attach it to any of the models. In case you want them with tails on.

R

discount code isnt working

Ken Anaka

Just finished downloading the folders and was wondering what the extra tail is for???

mike kolek

When I get into the sync folder I can't download, it just spins constantly.

Brent Boeckman

Cura is for FDM printers only I belive? If you are used to using Cura chances are you have a FDM printer ( Ender 3 or the like - ie one that uses spools of plastic ) the supported models are for Resin printers ( ie. the ones that prints with UV light in pool of toxic goop ) and not much use on FDM printers as they are designed for gravity going in the other direction ( resin printers print upside down ) and the tip of the support might not print at all with being so tiny so your printer might start printing mid air.

Morten Haggren

Question about the Lychee Supports. Can I use that with Ultimaker Cura? I've only had my printer for 4 days now, and I'm still in the early learning phase. I already hate the supports that Cura makes on its own.

David Bennett

NM got it. Had to be in all caps :)

Bryan Foster

can't get PW to work on either link :(

Bryan Foster

Is there any chance to get free hand module in new releases? This would be really nice boost to customization

Lychre have a free edition to open and edit supports if needed

Artisan Guild

even worse... in order for us to use and modify we need to pay? another subscription? I mean come on...

Diogo Gonçalves

Guys I always loved your work... from the first to the last theme... but this slicer... I just cant support this... The slicer is WAYS from behind good... and since all of them are using the new slicer I cant even print a single one sucessfully... worst of all, since they dont have cones on the beggining half of all prints fail... this just make me do all the work again like when you didn't have pre-supported files... and i DID support the pre-supported tier back then... this is a significant downgrade... I'm sorry... but this was not something i was expecting... :(

Diogo Gonçalves

MMF library is already implemented to sincronize the patrons of May and June 2019 (Ogre Maurauders and Dwarven Defenders), they will extend invitation to the following 3 sets in these days, July, August and September 2019. They prefer to do that for 3 sets at time

Artisan Guild

How is the MyMiniFactory Library System beta going? fingers crossed it will be expanded to all members - I really hate having keep local copies of files when I don't absolutely need to ;)

Morten Haggren

Sounds like Gatekeeper is blocking install. Try this article: https://www.macworld.com/article/3094865/how-to-run-apps-that-are-not-from-the-app-store-in-macos-sierra.html#:~:text=Go%20to%20Apple%20menu%20%3E%20System,to%20open%20that%20new%20app.

Ian Tennant

Lychee Slicer (last stable) won't start on Mac because of security. Any advice?

Torsten Senz

Not getting an error with the file on my end. What program are you using to open it with?

I totally agree! We need to make Ghaomir, and it was meant to be a white dragon by the way :)

Artisan Guild

Hi, I can't open Dragonguard_F_(f)_(Supported).stl : Invalid file error

Eric Matecki

OK, we absolutely need to have Dragon-God Ghaomir available... I have been searching for an epic quality dragon to print to represent Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon, in my D&D Tyranny of Dragons Campaign to throw down in the final battle against Tiamat. I'm using Reaper Bones's Ma'al Drakar to represent Tiamat, and I need something just as epic, if not more epic, to represent the Dragon King, Bahamut. I am so excited and hopeful. These are incredible releases and I am so grateful that I get to be a part of it!

Joseph Orellano

I messaged you the other day, I lost all my files and I was hoping I could get the sets sent from the months i have been patreon for. At least the earlier ones before you were emailing them out at the end of month.

Geratt Schmidt

Ok, so on some of them I’ve deleted the unsupported file folders. I had assumed I wasn’t missing anything. Is there anyway to redownload the supported folders? From what I can see I it’s just the gryphkins and the recent dragongaurd, which I believe is still available through my messages.

Ian Bentley

At this stage its normal :) MMF is testing the system with our first ever 2 releases: may and april 2019

Artisan Guild

Standalone weapons are unsupported folders for digital Kitbashing, like inserting in the slicer a weapon of a set into the empty fist of another model or race :) Normally it should always be in the regular unsupported folder

Artisan Guild

I was just going through all of my AG files, and noticed that some of the zip files have folders labeled "Stand alone weapons" while others, including "The Dragonguard" doesn't. I'm assuming this was a change when you switched over to modular units, as I noticed the Eye'Cult Gryphkin doesn't have them either. Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything when downloading the files.

Ian Bentley

Just sent a message letting you guys know that I've still not received either my October or November minis on the MMF site. Same email as here and getting links for other patreons.

Simon Goldie

Hi David. First rescale the model. Go to support tab and ctrl+a (Select all supports) followed by Alt+r (recalculate supports). It will recalculate supports. There is a "shortcut reference" in the Lychee Help Menu.

Renato Tarabella

Its call scale creep, very annoying, especially since did not get the Chitubox files and only the LSI files, so if I rescale them then everythings broken, Havent supported the last couple, but now I get these, and the Chitubox files are gone,,, worthless!!!

David Croft

You could probably just put the STL files in blender, move them around, combine them, then export as an STL .

Justin Mattison

the dragonguys are much bigger than the kobolds, they needed 3cm bases ^^

Artisan Guild

Did the model scale change? Back when you made the kobolds, the bases were an inch, but everything seems considerably bigger now.

Justin Mattison

Are there any videos on easily joining the modular files in slicer? Rather do it digitally than manually

James McHugh

Hi Jean, the R Axes was updated yesterday. Also an empty hand that suffer of same inverted normals problem. Please re-download these again... or mirror the other one ;)

Renato Tarabella

Right Handed axe is weirdly black in the slicer and didnt print, I ended up just mirroring the left one.

Jean-René Tremblay

I'm very excited for the my mini factory solution. I've been using it for the Skys of Sordane Kickstarter and it's fantastic. Good work embracing new technologies and formats!

it has boobs lol. pretty sure that is it.

Orrelu

Why is pinup say print at own risk?

Air Bridge worked like a charm!

Estevao Correa

Excellent work, as usual. The new supports looks really promising to me, since the older ones were occasionally way too thin and unreliable on my machine. I'm looking forward to print this new set. In the meantime I just wanted to report some small issues I noticed while slicing: - The A Dragonguard's flaming sword-Up_R is missing a support on one side of the hilt - Maybe this is bug in my version of Chitubox but some of the stl files (Dragonguards E casting_hand_empty(R) and the Dragon_axe_R axe from the Dragonguard C) looks "empty" or "inverted" and cannot be sliced properly While it's easy to workaround these issues by adding supports or mirroring I still think this feedback could be useful to you.

Hal TheReal

Awesome! Lychee slicer is very good, I started using it about a month ago and it saves a lot of time with the integrated island detector and significantly better support generation (auto and manual).

LordOOTFD

I really like it when you include the model pics from the monthly release in the files. Makes it a lot better when looking back and browsing models.

Jeffrey D Lowe

Hi Leif, we tested the entire set with 4-5 users and the release was done without fail on all testers. I hope that will print good to you. In case you can select all supports and change the penetration before print it :)

Renato Tarabella

The unsupported folder was already correct :)

Artisan Guild

Was it just the presupported folder that was updated or did you update both presupp and unsupp folders? MyAirBridge is fast but not having to d/l both again would be preferred :)

James Harrison

I'll see if i can get individual Kickstarter lists for the addon

Artisan Guild

MyAirBridge worked well and fast, thanks for another great set and for getting that sorted out.

Brent Kutz

Glad to see you're starting to add our supported months on MMF. Regarding MyMiniFactory Library System (Beta), for those of us that bought the previous releases via your Amazons KS, will you be able to do the same thing for those...or add them to the Campaigns portion of our library?

Rob Leonard

THANK GOD!!!! I have something to get me thru election day

seth mearkle

Kudos on the MyAirBridge. Download was blazing fast!!!

Arman

Thanks! Fixed :)

Artisan Guild

Really well done with MyAirBridge, the downloads are only taking a couple minutes for everything and it's very easy to work with. Thank you for working on and overcoming the problems you were having, much appreciated!

Chris Jenkins

Thanks for the alternate shields!

Lord Chronos

I am having an issue getting my account for Lychee set up in order to download the non skimpy pin up. Can it be added in regular stl for Chitu?

Scarlet Moon Designs

I noticed The dragonblood pinup in the presupported file is the same with two name

Marco Pizzuti

I noticed the images are missing from the Dragonguard download. Previously you included the previews in the download. I love having those images included as a reference! Would it be possible to include them in the batch of files? Loving MyAirBridge BTW! So much better!

Arch DeLux

I haven't tried printing any of the presupported yet, but I'm somewhat concerned with these tiny supports (which are great) with 0mm tip penetration. When I first switched to Lychee, I didn't realize it had defaulted to 0mm penetration, and this caused several failed prints until I realized that and changed it to at least 0.10mm. It might be that with the default "large" supports, it works fine at 0mm, but with tiny supports, I'm not so sure this will consistently print well.

Leif Hedstrom

Also, you realize how giddy it makes me that i can use the phrase "Did the king say SLAY the dragon, or LAY the dragon" in a store page?

airbridge went incredibly fast for me

I absolutely love this Patreon and I love the sets so, so much. Unfortunately, MyAirBridge still crashes the presupported zip file about 10 times and I've never had any luck with downloading through them, and Sync is still impossible to work with on day 1. I guess the Presupported files are just too big even when zipped :( That being said, I still love this patreon and every set you guys do! This one and the Rakshasa have been my absolute favorites

honestlyaunicorn .

Maybe I'm the only one asking but: can the models (the bigger one) be separate in more parts so it can be printed in a bigger scale? I would love to print a knight or the pinup in 75mm (2 or 2.5 bigger) scale but my plate (and i think most of the plates) are big enought to print the mount as it is. That said really love the sculpts and happy to be here!

David Pigo

Loving this airbridge and loving the set!

Jester

Airbridge is going great! easy downloads

William L Frye

They mentioned in a previous post that Greg won't be doing the supports anymore. They said on the discord that the supports were done by Andrea's father, and he has a crew of beta testers who verified the prints before launch

xspartanzx

They did the supports in Lychee this time, so the .lys files are for the Lychee software

xspartanzx

what are these new .lys files and how does one open then?

Josiah Blackie

Airbridge download once again transferred quickly, on the first shot, and without any errors. 2 thumbs up here. Can't wait to get some of these guys printing!

Is Greg still doing the supports? At first glance, some of these supports look like they'll bond to to either each other or the model. A lot of them just look like auto supports.

Podok the Mad

Airbridge is amazing! Huge props!

Cold Painting Table

And yes, downloading was fast via Airbridge!

Glitterwolf

Happy to report I had a Fast/hassle free download via Airbridge :)

ScryFi

+1

DevDesigner

Would you ever consider streaming your sculpting? Idk about everyone else but I'd love to hang out and watch ya'll work

Pistachio Pete

Fast download (MyAirBridge) without problem great work!

DevDesigner

I can open it without problem try re-downloading it from sync

DevDesigner

Lusty_Draconian_Maid (Supported).lys has the correct model

DevDesigner

It's a really nice set. Unfortunately I cannot open the supported Dragonguard F. Is it just me?

Chiral

yeah as above presupported only has 2 copys of the skimpy version for me

In the Supported files the Pin Up is only the one with the skimpy version ( 2 times) the one without the human parts is only in the normal set.

Glitterwolf

love this set. Been looking for some good dragon people. One question, what's the possibility of adding a tail to the pinup female as an option?

kwratster

As specified during the last posts it's now Renato making supports. He have a team of test printer and every model os printed on differenr machines

Artisan Guild

There was a post in facebook somewhere. Andrea's dad is doing the supports now. Also Lychee is AWESOME so this news is great!

Great set. One question has Greg switched to Lychee or has he stopped doing supports for your files?
