Even imagining this pronunciation hurts my ears.

We have that too (UK), but here, when used without the "up" part, "bottling it" and "losing your bottle" means getting scared and deciding not to do something.

Essentially, bottle = courage.

Quick question - do Americans use the expression "bottled it" for being scared off?

I'm wondering because in an episode of The Boys, Butcher says the related phrase "I lost my bottle" when he meant "I lost my rag", and it made it to air, even though it made no sense in the context.

Overhangs were the biggest issue I found. So much so that I moved back to a 0.4 after a month of faff trying to find settings that would compensate.

I use my printer mainly for minis, and figures that would print supportless on the 0.4 nozzle needed huge amounts of supports at 0.2 in order to print without missing chins etc.

That said, the level of detail that I could achieve was better, particularly on the hair, but not enough to compensate for all of the extra faff and wasted plastic.

At the very simplest, you can just overlap things in the slicer without Blender.

If you want to learn about Blender's Sculpt mode, you can just Google "Blender Sculpt mode tutorial". For convenience, try to use the most recent results, as the interface can be slightly different in older versions.

Sculpt mode effectively allows you to alter the models as if they were made of clay or plasticine.

A lot of the tutorials will be showing how to make things from scratch, but what's important is that you see how the tools work.

Once you have everything overlapping the way you want, you can join the using a Boolean operation. You'll want to use a "union" operation.

To avoid the gaps you can line them up with an overlap.

You can adjust the vertices of the model slightly to help facilitate this. The most natural-feeling way to do it in Blender is by using the Sculpt mode.

You can use a Boolean addition operation to then make the two models a single piece of geometry. Or not bother (if you are printing on FDM or at 100% infill in resin, it won't really hurt either way).

I mostly print stuff for DnD and wargaming, so I just run off a few 25mm bases - I can always use them!

Ayyyyyyy-ch P Sauce.

You made a clerical error.

Look, here's an example - first verse "Earth has one moon"

I'm English, so "Won" rhymes with "un". "One" rhymes with "on".

I'm English (northern), and "one" rhymes with "on", not "un".

Honestly, I've never noticed any British accents that pronounce it differently than that, but I guess it's not Impossible.
