The IOL Minis library of bases. ( Presupported solid, hollow, inset and magnetized versions)

Mô tả của tác giả

Welcome to the IOL Minis library of bases. This is a catalogue of what I hope will prove to be a useful resource for my fellow hobbyists. As I was developing new sets of detailed bases for my range, I had to go back and make some thoroughly designed bases to work from. In the process of doing that, I decided it would be a nice thing to establish a living repository of all types of wargaming bases to share with the community. The bases included come in round, square, hexagonal, heptagonal, beveled and round with low profile shapes. They are provided in solid, inset, hollow/ magnetized and low inset /magnetized versions. The hollow bases are mostly cut for 5x2mm magnets ( with some of the ovals being cut for 6x1mm). The bases all have a lighty textured top finish, and I have placed resin supports on this surface so it hides any marks from the supports and ensures a clean, plain finish to the bottom edge of the bases. The textured surface is flat enough that the bases can be printed with that side down on the build plate, if you wish to print them without supports, or want to print the hollowed bases on an FDM printer. These bases are basically offered as a free resource to the community, though as the project has been very labor intensive I am asking for a symbolic tip of 1$ for access to the files. Which I hope everyone feels is still a fair price for hundreds and hundreds of files ;) Enjoy, and happy hobbying!     UPDATE: 27/01/2025 Added a set of round bases with a shallow inset on top, and room for magnets on the underside. Also tweaked the Hex bases, which apparently had some sizing inconsistencies.  UPDATE 09/01/2025: Added a set of simple 2mm flat round bases, with and without insets, for flat profile basing. Note that these don´t come presupported for resin printing, as they are really only suitable for FDM printing due to the slim profiles. Also added a set of Heptagon bases in the Hollow/ solid/ inset formats. UPDATE 28/09/24: Added a set of 30- to 50mm bevelled ( lipped) bases to the set. UPDATE 19/10/23: Added a couple more bases to the square set ( 75x75mm, 80x80mm, 100x100mm) plus a set of hex bases ( 20mm - 50mm). UPDATE 10/05/23: Wave 1 of square and rectangular bases have been added. More sizes are being worked on, and will be added as soon as they are ready. UPDATE 08/01/23: Added 30x30mm, 25x30mm and 30x60mm bases to the square bases set. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Presupported files included for ease of printing. All my models are tested on my own printers before uploading, but I do encourage you to review the files prior to printing and make adjustments if appropriate for your printer settings and materials. If you do print and paint any of my miniatures, please share them with hashstag "iolminis" or "imitationoflifeminiatures" so I get to see them :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
