about Juggernaut Print:
Juggernaut print is my hobby business
My name is Alexander and I started Juggernaut Print in order to print cool figures and designs for people who do not want to bother with expensive machines and complicated post-processing.
I believe that personal service is very important to my customers and I want to make sure you get the best experience with your order.
3d printing can be hard to explain, but I will do my best
The foundation of 3d printing is that you find a need for something practical or decorative brought into the real world. Maybe you are in need of a tiny gadget for your car or you want a statuette of your favorite heroes from a great movie. Furthermore, you could be looking for a handful of Tabletop miniatures or a certain Cosplay piece.
There are several free and paid sites where you can find 3d models I can print for you, eg:
Usually this means you have to go out and invest in a 3d printer and learn everything from scratch, but there is help to be had from people like me.
3d printers "build" the model up using several thin layers of plastic, which eventually becomes a finished model. Think of it as building a house with Legos, where you also put down one layer of bricks at a time until you have an entire building.
There are many different types of printers, both MSLA and FDM, but common to them all is that they must use a Slicer program to prepare the file for the printer. The 3d model must be cut into a lot of thin layers, which is printed on top of each other to form the finished result.
Glossary
MSLA
Masked Stereolithography - A printing method in which liquid resin is cured in the bottom of a container with UV shining through a transparent piece of plastic film. Each layer is cured on top of the previous one, to form the final item.
FDM
Fused Deposition Modeling - A printing method where you heat plastic to a very high temperature and press it through a millimeter-thin nozzle onto a buildplate. Each layer of plastic is laid on top of the previous, to eventually form the printed item.
Slicer
Describes the program you use to prepare your 3d files for printing.
Before you can print your model, it must be "sliced" into hundreds of millimeter-thin slices that the printer can print on top of each other.
