Pre-supported models: checks before buying

What "presupported" actually tells you on a listing

The Lerta the Cursed listing from Signum Workshop, shown as published on December 29, 2020, describes “The pre-supported miniature for DnD and Legends of Signum” and shows the tags “32mm” and “presupported.” The captured listing text does not describe another version. That reports only what appears in this listing capture; it does not establish what every current purchase includes.

The Seelie Archers listing from The Dragon Trappers Lodge, shown as published on March 7, 2023, describes a pre-supported and an unsupported version, with a .lys file for editing supports in Lychee Slicer. It lists five sculpted bases, five minis, “BASE SIZE: 25mm,” “SCALE: 32mm,” and “SUPPORTED: Yes.” These details concern this listing and package; compare them with the version you see before buying.

The two examples show different levels of detail in the reviewed listings. They do not prove that “pre-supported” means the same file set everywhere, or that a package will work with every resin, printer, or orientation. For your decision, start with the file list actually shown and ask the creator about anything that remains unclear. The free STL files guide covers other aspects of choosing a file.

Check the file formats: raw, supported, and project

To inspect a package, look separately for a supported version, an unsupported version, and any project file listed. The Seelie Archers listing names both versions and a .lys; that description identifies what it says is included, but it is not a check of the download or file contents.

The listing describes the .lys as a file for editing supports in Lychee Slicer. That identifies the software associated with the project according to the creator. The listing does not call it G-code or say that it opens in every slicer; do not assign it a function beyond the one described.

If a listing does not mention an unsupported version or an editable project, that information is not established by the displayed text. Ask the creator whether those files are included before buying. A page about print supports can explain the topic, but it does not confirm the contents of a particular package.

Stated scale versus base size: two different numbers

The Seelie Archers listing separately shows “BASE SIZE: 25mm” and “SCALE: 32mm.” Keep those labels as written: the captured text does not define how base size is measured or which scale convention is being used.

Before buying, record the values and check whether they answer your need. If you require a physical dimension or a scale relative to a particular game, ask the creator how those fields are defined. The captured Lerta the Cursed listing shows a “32mm” tag without a base-size value; that value is not specified in this excerpt.

The Seelie Archers listing names five sculpted bases and five minis. Use the contents list as written; if a term such as “upgrades” leaves something important unclear, ask the creator to specify the package. The guide to printers for miniatures covers a separate topic and does not verify the dimensions of an individual model.

Resin, printer, and orientation: what the listing does not promise

The listing texts reviewed do not name a resin, exposure settings, or a reference printer. They therefore do not establish technical compatibility with your setup. Record what the listing states and ask the creator for details needed to make your decision.

If resin, layer height, or a reference machine matters for your use, look for those details in the creator’s current information or ask directly. Their absence from the excerpt preserved here does not prove that the full or updated page omits them.

For your decision, prepare a record of your printer and configuration, exact resin, intended layer height, and software. Beside it, copy the reference information provided by the creator, including its version. Empty fields become specific questions to resolve before purchase. This comparison sheet is a suggested way to organize the decision; it does not calculate exposure settings or assign general technical responsibility to the platform.

Check whether you can rework the supports

For Seelie Archers, the listing names a .lys intended for editing supports in Lychee. If you want to edit those supports, check that this project version is included in the offer you are viewing and that you can open it in the associated software.

The same listing also names an unsupported version. It does not establish how supports are represented in other exports or whether they can be edited in another slicer. If you plan to change the model, ask which files are included and what function the creator assigns to each.

The checks are straightforward: version names, any included support project, and the software named for it. The Seelie Archers listing associates its .lys with Lychee; it does not promise time savings or a particular result. For another listing, do not infer its contents from the “presupported” tag alone.

License, subscription releases, and refunds: read before you pay

The Lerta the Cursed and Seelie Archers listings show the label “MyMiniFactory Digital File Store License | Standard Digital File Store License.” The full terms are not reproduced in the excerpts preserved here. Before using a file in a way that depends on a particular right, open the license that applies to the exact offer and check its scope; the label alone does not establish permissions.

For Tribes, the FAQ says distributed files appear under Library and then My Tribes. If an expected new release is missing on the first of the month, it advises checking that the subscription is active and then checking the creator’s Tribes page to see whether files have been released. The FAQ says the platform hosts the Tribe and directs file questions to the creator.

Finally, distinguish a one-off file purchase from a Tribes subscription and a tier change. The cited FAQ concerns Tribes: it describes an exceptional commercial refund policy and a form for certain tier changes, with a stated three-to-five-business-day timeframe. It does not determine the remedies applicable to every transaction. Before paying, record the exact offer, refund and cancellation terms, renewal date, and named contact. Keep those details with the order confirmation so that you can describe any missing-file problem precisely. Check the current terms for your transaction rather than treating a subscription FAQ as a promise for a separate store purchase.
