oops, wrong post

Cryda the Incredible

Is anyone else getting an error message on sync "8052 This user has been placed on accounting hold"?

Natalia Pujol Cremades

Me too... any way to get it at this time?

Michael Dorland

I haven't been able to download this one every time (off and on admittedly) I tried this month. Is there any way to get a link to these still?

Mike Hardison

Yeah, it passed midnight here, no luck. Sadness ensues. Kobolds...just...out of...reach....

Hans Voegeli

I haven't got a working link yet? It's getting pretty close to midnight too...

Sam T.

OH! Guys check your private messages I have a working link there

Sam T.

Tried to get the Kobolds but link is broken?

Mike Hardison

I came for the kobolds! Are we too late?

Aaron Joyce

Like the others said, this link is not currently working. I normally redownload on the last day of the month to ensure I have any updates, but I wasn't able to download it.

Marion Whatley

404 link does not exist >.<

Esteban

Yup... same issue

bluefyr22 .

Also wondering this

Joseph Piragine

Is it possible to get a new link for the download or an alternative download method for the Sept. Release? I also noticed the text saying it's for a "previous month" in the text of the Sept. release notes. It appears AG took it down early.

Joseph Piragine

I'm having the same issue. The link appears to be broken for downloads.

Jeff A

I have not been able to download this release, I constantly get a 400 not found error....

William C Knapp

They sent a new link in messages a little bit ago

Joel

Im having the same problem?

William C Knapp

Did the link get taken down early? Sync gives an error 400 that it doesn't exist

BillyWardlaw

How does burrowing underground with a Howdah on your back work? ; )

WarriorPriest

Nevermind

WarriorPriest

Are there unsupported files for the models?? I must have missed them.

Sean Salisbury

Hi, is there recommended printers/settings?

Dan Akers

I scaled down to 80% and have had mixed results. Weapons are generally separating from supports and whilst the majority of the body prints fine I'm finding the ends of the arms are failing (and therefore I'm losing the ball socket)

Boxfish

Love this set, and glad to finally join the community here. Just wanted to say that anyone going to print the pre-supported Kornutaaz the Plaguemancer body should add a couple extra supports to the smaller portion of the cape. It consistantly fails on the elegoo mars pro without it.

Jared Dahl

I've had no trouble scaling down to 80% with presupported models for AG or Titanforge

Erik Waring

Has anyone tried printing the pre-supports scaled down? These are a fantastic set and appreciate how hard it is to do detailed small minis but these guys come in around the 5ft area on my 32mm scale. That's about twice as tall as a by the book kobold, I don't need them that small but I have 6-8 other kobolds from a different artist and I want to get them close in size. I think I only need to reduce to about 88% or so. I'm iffy on reducing the supports and wondering if anyone else has tried it?

Kory Kush

In Chitubox in edit mode, click on the cone part of the support that touches the model, Then adjust Contact depth and Upper Diameter on the right side by pressing the arrows or typing.

Edward Lunde

Ahh... can you point me in the right direction for editing the supports in the pre-supported files? I can adjust the length of the body, but I cant seem to edit any properties of the heads or its depth into the model.

Dan Brainard

I was. Lowering lift speed, and learning i could edit the supports in Chitu helped on the last couple of prints. I go in and make weight relevant .1 and .2 support heads into .2 and .3 respectively. A little more support damage.. but definitely better than the failed parts I was getting

Dan Brainard

im not downscaling, but I had been loading in the stl files rather than chitu. good to know I can go in and up the .1 supports that were failing

Edward Lunde

Anyone else having issues with some presupported models falling off their supports? Using Elegoo Water Washable Ceramic Gray on a Photon with 10s normal exposure. That said, I should probably stop being lazy just because its presupported haha

Kory Kush

What scale are you printing at? I print at 70% scale and find I have to go in and enlarge many of the supports as when they get too small they often don't connect. If you use the edit tool in Chitubox, select the upper part of the support and increase the upper diameter by .1-.2 mm for supports that are breaking.

Glitterwolf

Even with Presupported Files, always check for Islands yourself and add a support where needed. I've noticed some islands even with the best presupported stuff.

Michael Levenick

Yes, it is the smallest supports that fail. Heavier ones are just fine. My print/lift speed should be plenty slow, I slowed it way down a while back. Retract is 100 and lift is 50.

Dan Brainard

What is a good speed for tiny supports? I have it at 55 currently.

Dan Brainard

Plaguemancer spellhand keeps breaking off of supports. Photon printer. Add more supports, or is there a particular print setting that I should look at?

Anthony Winder

If the supports that were failing were the very thin ones, then you could check your build plate lift speed. Sometimes the stock setting on the Anycubic Photon is a little too fast and forceful. Not sure if the same is true of the Expax x1.

Michael Levenick

For example, the plaguemancer had failures on the bottom of his staff, as well as parts of his cloak.

Michael Levenick

I've been getting quite a few failures lately with presupported models. Older models seem to print perfectly, but newer models have quite a few failures. I'm doing 10s layer times on an Epax x1 with Siraya Fast. Should be more than enough I think. Is it possible that Anti Aliasing would cause support failure? Anything else I should try? I'm going to swap out for new nfep today and try some of them again.

evanbanjo

I've got 4 of modular guys and Doggoz printed up so far. Started painting one of the lackeys last night, and my goodness - these are a joy to paint. Some of the coolest models I've ever seen.

Logician

presupported fists

Artisan Guild

the collection code works for all models :)

Artisan Guild

We are waiting MMF to implement that, if it would be for us it would be our main choice :) Dropbox, Box, Google drive and others have traffic limit easly triggered with 3000+ people sadly

Artisan Guild

wich file is missing? We triple checked it but perhaps we missed something?

Logician

Even though you worded it poorly I understand what you mean. However, if you cant spare the 5 minutes it would take to slap one support on a 28mm scale fist then maybe this isn't the hobby for you. There was a time when we had to spend hours supporting our own models that we purchased. In a lot of cases when you buy a model you still have to spend hours supporting it, if it wasn't bought from Patreon. It would take far more time to post that the fist is missing and wait for an update than it would to just support it yourself. Thats why they upload both versions.

Neil Castle

lol @ the people complaining about the food they ordered and was being advertised being raw, cook it yourself, it would only take like maybe 10 to 15 minutes to cook

David Watts

The set is beautiful and I was able to download the smaller zip and rar files no problem! Thank you for another great month!

Logician

Lol @ the people complaining about missing the presupported fists. support them yourselves, they would only need like one maybe two supports.

Naomi Adams

Yeah it is. I dont know why everyone that does these kinds of content dont use MMF as the content delivery methods. Its so annoying that Sync either doesnt calculate even if you clear cookies and cache or it just times out constantly.

M T

Hi - Beautiful work as always - and that worm monstrosity is particularly terrifying. Just wondering if it might be possible to get an uncut version of the Melmor Plague Shrine Base to allow FDM printing it as one piece? The shrine itself I'd still like to do up in resin it's just the base parts I'm hoping for as one piece.

Yogoloth

I was super excited when you originally announced that you were making a kobold set. I've always been a fan of scalies and after seeing the beautifully designed lizardfolk I had high hopes! Although the kobolds themselves were top notch, I was expecting a lovely kobold pinup along the same vein as the lovely lizardfolk pinup. But I was massively disappointed that we got a human pinup amongst the kobolds. Sad times! What was the thought behind that when you'd made such a great job with the lizardfolk?

Richard Gallerno

Just got a new Photon Mono. Can't wait to test it out with these models!

arlan miller

I actually attempted to download the way suggested Artisan Guild, there were still issues. You have explained multiple times why the team continues to use SYNC. You seem to missing the point. I hope you will take the majority of you consumers feedback that you should explore a different option otherwise you are likely to continue to get feedback focused on your consumers frustration downloading over having positive interactions on your designs and ideas for future content. To give you an analogy to the suggestion you are giving your patrons right now imagine this... You order the same three things from your favorite store and have it set up to be reoccurring order every month. But the company that the the store uses to deliver these items takes three times as long to deliver them because you order three things and sometimes they do not even get delivered. So you voice your frustration to to the place you ordered from as do many other people with the same concern. So the company repeatedly telsl these customers if they just order their items one at a time they will all be delivered in the standard time of two days because of an issue the delivery service they are continuing to use has on the backend of their system. That company can either spend its time defending the delivery service or invest likely less time finding one that meet the needs of the company and their consumer. And then in the end spend their time on what they intended to in the first place when they set out and expand their artistic creativity.

Joshua Hiebert

Likewise, both chrome and firefox constantly error out on downloads. Sync is trash.

Core Power Elite Training

do we receive a discount for individual miniatures at the store or just sets

Charles Tuttle

unarchiver works well and is free

Nick Martin

Not sure why, but I'm getting frequent timeouts and errors on Sync trying to download these files, using one-at-a-time

J-Zarno .

cavalry, yassssss

Jonnyballday .

Haha sweet sorry just excited for your updates to old sets. Ive just starred to print to older ones and Im going by what you guys update. Also please can all patreons get the demon toad head for update. Pretty please with cherries on top. Love those extra bits but missed that month by 1 month.

Artisan Guild

Once they are ready :) soon

Glitterwolf

Presupported Fists are missing. They do appear in the regular file.

Jonnyballday .

Will the updated old set for this month I believe its depth ones be out around the same time as orcs last month?

TheCraftingDen

Why is the plague diggaz not printed right on the build plate? Even the flat parts are printed on tiny supports, wouldn't it be much faster and better to lower the print so it hits the build plate and eliminates the needs for supports?

CycyX

I do not see updated files for the Shrine, only for the Worm, a modular Kobold and some standalone weapons. BTW, the supported empty fists are missing... :p

James Harrison

I've had issues with Sync before, usually on release days. Don't forget you have hundreds, if not thousands of folks all trying to d/l the same files at the same time. It's like 6000 people all trying to get onto the same game server for an mmorpg after a maintenance, slow, as, hell. I say wait a couple days then try again. Still having issues, wait another couple days.

seth mearkle

I almost freaked out thinking that it was finally the Fallen Angel!.... I died inside but I'm super grateful for the fixed files

Hans-Walter

Dwarves on rams, please 🤩

Sean

I wait a week. I don't get any problems downloading a week on from when most folks have done their downloads. It also means that any problems have also been ironed out within the files/pre-supported folders by the time I download them.

Cold Painting Table

First batch is off the printer and looking smooth AF

CarloGlobo .

Great set all around, but some .stl's gave me invalid files errors, think it was the bow. Sorry can't remember exactly since the .chitubox worked fine. And I had trouble with the flail, sadly tore off the supports, and the shovel went through with a few ripped supports, but printed nonetheless. Rest was perfect so far.

Artisan Guild

actually if you "download all" instead of selecting one of the two ZIP (presupported or normal) cause the slow calculating issue, because Sync try to make a huge new compressed archive including everything. So you are waiting for sync to compress that huge amount of files. We are on Sync because Box and Dropbox would give even worst experience, the solution is to select one Archive of the two and just download it

Christian Collins

I just finished slicing these all up. AMAZING as all your other stuff is. Keep up the great work!

Easy

This is, btw, an amazing set. Again, I didn't want Kobolds, but hell, they are fantastic!

Paul Dee

I also can't seem to get the files downloaded.

Podok the Mad

same, never had an issue with SYNC

Jason Brown

I have a fast connection and never have trouble downloading the entire sets in less than a couple minutes. ?

Joe Somerville

I see that and it worked for the recent release, thank you. However, on the Dwarven Oathbreakers one I just got a message for there is no zip folder beneath everything else. Still getting a never-ending 'Calculating' message.

arlan miller

Also could you please post a different file format that .rar perhaps just posting like you have the rest of the content files or perhaps the normal accepted standard .zip

arlan miller

Ok two things, just so the team at Artisan Guild might feel inspired by the continued voices reminding you SYNC is undoubtedly a sub standard solution and has now failed for multiple months to provide the service your team, your patrons deserve, and everyone is paying for. Second the zip file is missing the standalone hand positions. They are located in the normal presupposed file directory. Of corse even that one not very large file is struggling to download from Sync. And for the record I personally am using a fiber internet connection. My download speeds are amazing on pretty much anything other than when downloading from Sync.

Alex A

Hi there - where are the discount codes mentioned above? Can't find them...

seth mearkle

So excited to start printing! On top of that can't wait for the Fallen Angel to come out too!!!!!

Matteo Desanti

same!

ResinandFilament

ERRORS - pre supported stand alone weapons folder is empty / there are no closed hands in any of the folders including the models folders

Greg Kourakos

with sync, if it says "calculating" for more than 10-15 seconds, reload the site and just try again, sometimes for me a few tries in and it loads up fast actually

Tim bahr

It's not that bad, just use the zip folder downloads on the main page and you'll get everything quickly and easily.

Tim bahr

There are Zip file versions below the folders that you can download immediately. If you try and download via the folders themselves you have to go download each sub folder individually or else you will get the message that it is "calculating."

José Luis Banegas

Sync is the absolute worst and Im suffering.

Tucker Loper

Thanks for the tip Alexis! I opened it in an incognito window and it is downloading much much faster.

Joe Somerville

I'm having issues downloading the files. It says 'Calculating' indefinitely. I had several sent to me in messages. Is there a quick way to download everything?

Thomas Klein

They have also been updating the sets to the current content level. Which for most means adding 2 more modular figures and a terrain piece which takes time. I think Lizards are the first set with 6 modulars, and Alfar were the first with terrain.

Bryce Hooper

Awesome. Those seem to line up a little different than the other more recent sets. So was unsure of the plan with those.

Thomas Klein

They've stated all the sets will end up presupported. They've been doing about 1 old set a month in order. I think that puts Depth Ones next, then Vampires, then Fighter's Guild... and so on.

Thomas Klein

Payments that failed to process, people who only wanted a specific release, things like that I would assume

Bryce Hooper

Will we ever get presupported versions for the depths and demons sets of files?

Artisan Guild

Fixed :)

Artisan Guild

Sadly it often happens at the end of a month :(

cuthberttAllgood

if you use the chitubox file it is supported there

Fabian M

How is it possible that we lost over 250 patrons? Werent we around 6800? And now it says 6531 or is it a bug?

Alexis Coulombe

Empty your cache or private tab is helping

Grimwoody

LOL...thanks

Artisan Guild

Download one archive at time (presupported or normal release), dont download all :)

Artisan Guild

Don't download all, select one lf the two archives at once, it will be super quick :)

Artisan Guild

Its written in the middle of the post :)

Grimwoody

Where do i find the code for the 30% dicount on other sets???

Neil Castle

Hi! In conjunction with the previously mentioned issues, the pre-supported stand alone weapons are missing!

Gabriel Azevedo

Again with problems trying to "Download All" from sync. I have already cleared the Cache, anything else I can do?

Matthew M

Is anyone else getting error when trying to open the non supported top part of the shrine?

Joseph Browne

Folks Sync is not very good, 1 hour of spamming the download and X button is not fun..... Maybe My Mini Factory, or Drive Through RPG is another good option.

The Painted Wookie

Hi Artisan Guild! :) Any news on a 6 month loyalty reward? :)

RabidBlueDeath

Winrar (free program) or 7zip can still open it. its just a different type of compression.

Skye Winter

Is the Gyros file supposed to be a rar? What am I supposed to do with it? (Sorry if it's a dumb question)

Rob Leonard

Great set AG....great sculpts, poses and details as usual. And I like the mounts idea for future goals.

RabidBlueDeath

Thanks guys, Set looks fantastic. Can you start putting the fists in the standalone section as well as the empty hands though? Edit: It shows the fists are supposed to be there under the modular kobolds in the weapons picture but I cant find them?

Paoloni Fabrizio

since a classic Koboldo weapon is the slingshot I would like to know if there is in any past kit so suitable?

Sean Croteau

I got the zip folders downloaded from sync very easy this month. sadly, it's a sync problem and not an AG problem. They have amazing models. I have had the same issue with several other patreons that use the same service. One is switching to my mini factory for their downloads, but the distribution seems to be a lot slower.

Wedjat Ecou SRL (RO36777360)

Thanks for adding the zip files! It's so much faster to download those!

Ron Staton

Did Diggaz_the_Plague_Zeek_Top hollowed.stl not get a supported version? The file in the supported section isn't supported.

L'il Doodie

Kobold D accessories have probs.

Adam M

I had same issues with those... it would stall out and fail. Eventually worked after several times but d/l'd probably 2gb of partials :/

Stephen Lewis

Yeah, I have 600MB down and Sync is just spinning so I know it's not on my end.

Brady Hargett

Just download the presupported/non presupported zip files and you should be fine.

GaleTgrShrk

Firefox gives me issues on sync, but chrome seems to be working this time.

Jacob Mertz

I was able to download the pre-zipped files without issue. It went a lot faster than trying to have sync zip it and then download it.

Vincent Von Hellsing

I hate to say it but after September I am bailing on AG because of sync.com issues I can not justify the time is spend trying to DL items that I paid for for hours or having to go into each folder and individually DL each item........ great work, I love the models..... I just value my time more than I like the models at this point.
