MyMiniFactory Files Storage (Patreon)
Content
We have started using MyMiniFactory Beta Storage System for our Previous Releases.
By using this new feature and linking your Patreon and MMF accounts you'll be able to keep all your previous Bite the Bullet files safe storaged on MMF cloud drive and this way you'll save a lot of disk space.
We upload the current release files after the month has already ended to preserve Patreon exclusivity, so you should have access in MMF to this month's files around the 2nd.
How to Access :
- You use the same email account for Patreon and MyMiniFactory.
You should already have all your files ready here:
Shared Library: https://www.myminifactory.com/library#shared - You use a different email account.
You'll receive an email granting you access to the files in the following hours, there's no need for you to change your MMF email to match the one you use here on Patreon.
Read the next section so you can be sure to find the email. - You don't have a MMF account.
You'll need to create one using your Patreon email if you want to use this new feature. This is by no mean mandatory, so you don't need to worry, we'll keep uploading our monthly release files here on Patreon as usual.
How to Redeem the MMF email :
The redeem link for our files have been sent to all applicable patrons by MyMiniFactory.
This will come in the form of an email with instructions on how to redeem our files.
If you didn't see the email, that might be because:
1. The email is in the 'Promotions' section [Gmail Users].
2. You received the email on you Patreon email address.
3. The email is in the spam folder.
4. The message is in your MyMiniFactory inbox.
If you still can't see the invitation email from MyMiniFactory, please don't hesitate to contact them at:
https://www.myminifactory.com/contact_us (info@myminifactory.com)
MyMiniFactory's customer support will get back to you within 2-3 working days.
How to Extract :
We have uploaded a single .zip file for each of the previous months (and Loyalty Rewards).
For those of you who purchased any of our previous releases on MMF or ... lost our previous files, we recommend you to redownload all .zip files to preserve our folder hierarchy and all our thumbnails and Pre-Supported files.
After downloading all the .zip files you'll just need to:
Select All -> Right Click -> Extract Here
Then a "BITE THE BULLET" folder will appears with everything inside conserving our folder hierarchy and also all the non-stl files.
How to Organize :
In order to differenciate the models easier we recommend you to use our .jpg thumbnails by activating the "Large Icons View":
File Explorer -> View Tab -> Layout Section -> Large Icons
Other (not so clear) option is to use the Chitubox thumnbail preview system, but we have read that it causes problems with some graphic cards, you can test it out here:
Chitubox: Menu -> Setting -> Enable thumbnail preview
Future :
We hope you guys find this new feature useful and regarding the current releases we usually upload those to MMF after the month has ended but if you want to have the current release uploaded there too we could try and do it.
Disclaimer: As we currently upload our files gradually one by one and upload first the un-supported version and finally the Pre-Supported there would be a delay between Patreon and MMF, so if you want to get the latest files as soon as possible, your best choice is to keep doing it directly from the Patreon post.
Elisa and Daniel,
Bite the Bullet.
