Human Conductor: Level 50 elec/elec Blaster
Printed in gray resin on Anycubic M3 MAX. 1/12 scale (5.4" high). Bump/displacement textures hand placed. Custom emblem with pigg file override. Will paint to match. As this is my main, I'm also printing a 1/6 scale version to showcase the facial and costume details.

Main: Human Conductor Level 50 Elec Blaster on Excelsior. You can call me HC.

How well do capes translate to 3D prints?

Pretty good now that I've come up with the way to give them "thickness." Anything that is a 2D plane needs a slight extrusion then prints fine (same thing with details like the mask bolts for HC).

Hand of Satan: Level 50 necro/dark Master Mind
Printed in gray resin on Anycubic M3 MAX. I printed this the past weekend before @brigg inspired me to get the texture maps to work. The image on the right shows a work in progress of applying the skull textures and quilting in the cape in Blender. Many more textures to come. I will reprint it when I am done.

Pretty good

That looks amazing!  Another question, if I may - Will this process work with filament 3D printers, if I wanted to take the plunge but wasn't quite up to full resin ones yet?

Filament is a great method to start with. I love my resin but the chemicals, smell, cleaning process, etc is not for everyone. You can get an inexpensive FDM (under $160), print at .1 mm height and get damn good results. I have 3 filament printers. Two large scale and this one https://a.co/d/ip4PCXG

 

This was done on my small filament machine. Ignore the little bits; they flake right off. But if you look closely, the layer lines are very faint. That's the difference between printing standard and fine detail (that said, it takes twice as long, but that's the only real trade-off).

Amazing!  How well do you think a "Crab Spider" would print?  I suppose no more difficult than those exquisite insect wings...
