How do get such nice fusing without melting them down to much? Such neat holes and because they aren't getting warped, they make for a nicer fit on 3D ones.

Mostly, practice and just getting the feel for it, I guess. Β
Specifically, I turn my iron almost all the way up, run it over the entire piece to warm it up and them start to apply a nice steady pressure. Β I watch through the paper to see that the beads are fusing and just stop when I can see that they have all become attached. Β After one side is done, I flip it over and do it again to even it out. Β When I have completed the ironing, I leave it under a heavy stack of books until they are completely cooled, to avoid curling. Β I guess that's about it?

I'll try that ironing method to see what comes of that for myself.

So I've learned by now. Β As you might be able to tell, I didn't actually play Minecraft. Β I just used the models for inspiration. Β I may get around to fixing that title at some point

I agree, when you have the time and preparation, you should definitely make a tutorial!

Yeah, tutorials are a possibility, but take not only the time to make the things, but also to write it all out step-by-step. Right now, it's enough to just find time to make any of them, let alone put it together all fancy. I hope so someday though

I see what you mean. And I hope so as well!
