Andrew PGreat progress! The metallic finish looks especially good. Did you have to re-mask and re-paint? (Image #54)

Jonas » 功能建议Hi Tim
With more and more people (like me) getting a good quality 3D resin printer, printing your own accessories becomes an option. I've even designed a few on my own (and a lot of tools). A few manufacturers (like Germania Figuren) already offer 3D printable STL files. These are mentioned here as "Digital:3D data file", but I could not find the option to "search" for these STL files specific. Apparently, it's just a checkbox somewhere under accessories, but they do not appear to be a "searchable" feature? Maybe I'm wrong?
Although it should not be the intention to turn SCM into another "Thingiverse", it might be a great feature to have the option of adding a specific category of " 3D printable (STL) Files" to share and download. These could be linked to a specific kit (for which they are designed). The scale would be only a "recommended scale" because it's easy to rescale them in your printer software. The "manufacturer" would be something like a " user-designed item". The possibility of adding the file to be downloaded would be obvious 🙂
A big issue might be "licensing". There probably should be indications of what you can or cannot do with the files. Downloading an STL and then start selling printed versions for profit, might not be what the designer had in mind. Thingiverse "solves" this issue with predetermined sets of "IP protection". Also to take into consideration.
I know, maybe this is a feature request that goes way beyond what SCM is supposed to do, but still... I was wondering what your opinion is.
Thx!

Starbase101I don't agree that Scalemates should be offering downloads of 3D models. (It's already sketchy offering download of instructions sheets, which are copyrighted by kit manufacturers.) Several of the STL files I've got were purchases and it's inappropriate (plus illegal) to offer them for free download. Sites which do offer free download, such as Thingiverse, should be findable through an SCM item's brand homepage. Tim is already having to periodically increase server capacity to keep pace with image uploads, and adding 3D files (even freeware) will exasperate this further. A lot of STL downloads include licensing and distribution restrictions, and it doesn't seem to me within the scope of Scalemates to be providing digital file downloads. Models are already easily findable through Google, Thingiverse, STLfinder, Yeggi, etc.
However, I do agree (and have already requested previously) that there should be a Filter option added for digital 3D data files. This would enable you to reduce Search/Stash results down to seeing only digital files.

scalematesThe filter option was implemented today, when you have selected 'Kits' in search/stash/wishlist there is a new filter "Delivery type"

Starbase101"Kit type" ?
(The kit type is either a physical kit or a digital download.)

Starbase101See if anybody else chimes in. I like "Kit type" better than "Delivery type" because physical versus digital refers to what type of kit it is. Delivery implies how a person received the kit, not the actual kit itself. You're trying to differentiate between a tangible kit versus an intangible kit, which to me is the kit's composition (or kit type).

Mike BirdEtsy use "Item Format" for their "physical" vs "digital" filter. What about that?

Wouter » 功能建议If a stashed paint is on 0% remaining, maybe it would be useful to have a red border to it or different color text/background on the overview.

scalematesNot exactly what you asked for, but this was implemented (+/-)
1) you can now move paint to the "Gone" tab. If it is 0% you can mark it as "trashed"
2) when showing "state info" in the overview you will see the red/orange/green indicators based on the % remaining
