How To Paint 3D Prints - Gold Chrome Effect

[@alexanderdubz]

I'm so glad CA3D is blowing up more, they really deserve it. The quality from them is spectacular.

[@geteavnroc2250]

I was definitely excited to look at the lines.

[@Souloni]

Love that CA3D supported your channel. They've featured you quite a bit and I think it's doing a number for the both of you. Keep it up!

[@WarlockCore]

That gold looks pretty good for a spray paint, I use alclad laquer for chroming, but that looks excellent as well

[@brian07900]

Super gold!

[@cabe_bedlam]

Wow, I thought it looked good in the photos, that gold is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@michaele1407]

Great job as always. Love this one so I am making one

[@danaaxelson6200]

Gran said very good. Wondered if you used some kind of light at bottom of base. That is very nice gold.

[@Groundeffected]

Your gran is observant!! Yea just chucked a film light under it. Could easily mount an led in there though for more permanent light solution

[@andyroberts3202]

Love the model and the colours

[@jvntr]

I love the videos, I've been learning lots from watching them. What are those sticks used when airbrushing the pieces? How are they attached to the model?

[@Raptor1970]

Totally understand, I live in wales so agree the GK two has made making my Christmas printed presents possible. As it was bought on your recommendation….thankyou.

[@Groundeffected]

Dude!! Thank you and also it’s a friggen beast of a machine. Best one Ive owned so far!!

[@ippaku]

Commenting to support the video and the channel. Catching up on the old catalog to learn more be well be you.

[@Michael11042]

excellent job! please show how it turned out and the specifications of the led circuit!

[@clanggedin]

You can drastically reduce stress lines by setting the on/off temps on the heater closer to each other. I keep my heaters at 1º on/off difference. That has completely eliminated stress lines for me. When I had a 3-4º temp swing I had major stress lines.

[@Groundeffected]

Dunno if I can do that in the gktwo? I thought it was like standard on 5 degrees swing? I don’t even know hahaha

[@jaggedtoothgrin]

hot damn that looks fantastic! (also the "I just use spraypaint into a cap and paint with it" is something I never thought of and is Brilliant)

[@Groundeffected]

Haha it can be a bit weird as the paint isn’t the same kind of paint and you’ll probably ruin brushes.

[@JHartModelworks]

I wonder what the3 gold would look like over a high gloss black base.... may have to get ahold of a can.

[@DJ_Blaker]

Turned out amazing! The gold paint really popped! Learned a few airbrushing tricks too! Thank you!

[@robyounce644]

Love it pay no attention to the haters. If putting a heater in your printer means better prints then go for it. I love my GKTwo!!!

[@mulderx2525]

this paint is amazing and the shiny gold is wonderfull. great job with the flame too. a few leds under the base and it will burn you alive...

[@deewallah]

Thanks for the shout out, you're a doll!

No problem 😊

[@keeponrocking5152]

Awesome work.

[@Groundeffected]

Thank you

[@andyw201]

Hi always love your videos, can I kindly ask as a new beginner, would you choose Vallejo Game Colour over Game Air please? I have a airbrush, never used an airbrush before just about to try, always used brushing. Wish I could visit your shop but am in Australia, maybe one day :) Thank you for amazing painting videos, you are a true artist.

[@Groundeffected]

Um the airbrush paint is already thinned if you use the normal paints and thin them I feel like they go further

[@andyw201]

@Groundeffected Thank you kindly, again I love your video even my mum likes them lol. Happy Xmas in the UK, we miss the cold Xmas hols.

[@juancarlosnovellamota3319]

Hi, first of all, congratulations because you are a superhuman,just one question,did you print the phoenix full or hollow? it is because I am testing clear resin and if I print hollow supports still inside and it is not nice. Thanks in advance and sorry for my english

[@cs319103]

Algorithm gods brought me here and I'm glad they did. Checked out about 5 other vids and all are quality. You're an excellent painter and I appreciate watching your studio progress. Subscribed

[@michaelramos4482]

Ive been into miniature painting for a couple of years now but this is the first time ive considered printing bigger 1/6 scale models! Ive only ever done 32mm minis so its a little intimidating but it also looks a little easier as you can just airbrush most of the colors on. Maybe ill try it out

[@marcna4582]

Michael it's easier than the smaller scales . Just go for it and you'll be amazed how much easier it is

[@Groundeffected]

It’s so good dude you’ve been practicing for years now you’ll have all the space you need to make some juicy blends!!

[@vaughanza]

May I ask why don't your wet sand your prints? and if you air brushed a part of the body and then mistakenly paint part of that area, how do you fix it. thanks for your awesome videos ?

[@Groundeffected]

Mostly because I’m filming and I can’t be bothered moving into the back to sand over the sink. And if I make a mistake I’d try to suck off the paint with my mouth cos I’m a madman haha

[@vaughanza]

lol thanks @@Groundeffected

[@Magik.Motorsports]

Thanks! Keep up the great work!

[@Uplink64]

Amazing video my dude! I do have a question for you . Did you print the phoenix bird as a few solid pieces or did you hollow them. The reason why I'm asking. it's because it is clear resin and if you did hollow it will show the internal supports. Please don't give me the dolphin sound 😁

[@EvilMP5]

@Groundeffected do you happen to have a good setting for running the GKtwo at 30um with Siraya Tech resin at all? I downloaded their stuff and the only setting I keep getting is the 50um stuff. You should give the Createx metal paints a shot, I got some really awesome finishes and you can run it through an airbrush.

[@Groundeffected]

Um I haven’t used siraya tech resin. Just throw out a couple towns you’ll have your settings by the end of the day 😊 .

[@ewen832]

[@manthiravel6274]

Bro need help... I want to print transparent resin with hollow inside the model but I don't want supports inside my model. Any Idea about how to remove that support inside ? Or there is any method to print hollow objects without supports? AWESOME video BTW...💥

Great video !

[@christianwebb6048]

Hey I'm new to the channel so I was wondering, did you open a game shop after you started doing statues or did you already have the shop? Or am I crazy and thats not a gameshop you work out of lol

I opened the hobby store after I started making statues.

[@hendrickstrauss3311]

Hi Your Dad I have two questions for you; 1. How do you handle doing spray work in such low temps? 2. What was that banger of a tune you used during the model reveal at the end! Thank you for the great vidoes.

[@Groundeffected]

Tune is from epidemic sounds it’s a thing I use for copyright free music. Can’t remember the name as for spray in cold. Makes no difference to me just spray as normal. Maybe warm the can if it’s extra cold.

[@MychCrowGames]

we need a video of how use the airbrush i love ur videos

[@sdrpay]

Could you please show us how you find the best way is to support your STLs i find some of the pre supported files so good and no matter how much i play with my slicer yo try new supports theyre never as good. Great video dude keep it up x

[@thisguyhere44]

I have the same struggle. I either get failures or super hard to remove supports that leave me sanding more than painting. I've watched a ton of videos of people doing it, but damn I'm bad at it.

[@Groundeffected]

I’ve made videos about this waaay back. And I use the same method with the same settings. You should check those videos out and see if that helps

[@jacksmith785]

Are the models from CA3D presupported? I love the quality but I'm shite at supporting models in a slicer.

[@ilgallo981]

Wahnsinn ! Einfach nur geil !!

[@javiercalvo7075]

hello ----excellent job dude One question...have you printed the phoenix hollow or solid?

[@Groundeffected]

It is hollow my dude

[@javiercalvo7075]

​@@Groundeffected but if it is hollow... the internal supports and drainage holes are not visible when the transparency is restored with gloss spray??

[@Groundeffected]

@@javiercalvo7075I used like almost not internal supports. And made a hole big enough to remove the one or two that I did use

Did you watch the video? And have you tried looking in the description?

[@snooganskoondisify]

Great Statue and paint Job..... Do you sell these?

[@Groundeffected]

Not normally. Some of these are really awkward to ship due to being glued for faster building to meet video deadlines. It’s a weird one

[@MurrackCarn]

When you paint brush on the montana gold how do you avoid leaving visible brush strokes? Everytime I have tried using a brush with spray can paint it comes out a horrible lumpy mess. Anyways, awesome video and awesome paint job!

[@angrypencilstudios2430]

Could you use clear yellow resin for the phoenix instead of just clear or is it just easier to paint over the clear resin?

[@Groundeffected]

Yea you could use clear yellow

[@globuljerome9465]

Bonsoir votre travail de peinture est vraiment incroyable , serait-il possible de savoir la dimension de vos aimants utilisés pour vos figurine. Merci

[@paulocezarxavier8552]

I always wonder how you put these magnets in that way and it stays firmly in place and doesn't fall out.

2 part epoxy is better than super glue !

Sick paint job! What is your resin of choice for the regular models and the clear stuff?

Sunlu standard with abs or tenacious mixed in and anycubic clear

[@thisguyhere44]

I know the brown hair was by mistake, but it kinda works with this model which is already drowning in red. Maybe not true to character, but a damn good piece.

[@Groundeffected]

Haha yea I left it because it’s not that bad but don’t tell anyone

[@DeeeFoo]

Love your videos, but I don't think that's a true gold chrome. It looks more like metallic gold. True gold chrome is supposed to be highly reflective, almost mirror-like. Based on my own testing, the best way I've found to achieve gold chrome is by doing the following: gloss black base coat, mirror chrome paint on top (such as Alcald), then cover it with a transparent yellow/orange. The transparent color will tint the chrome underneath it into the desired color. In this case, spraying transparent yellow over chrome will create a mirror-like gold chrome.

[@laugordon7972]

what is the name of the hand paint gold colour thankyou

[@Groundeffected]

Montana gold chrome

[@tunakancoskun]

How do your paints get so shiny? When I paint it looks matte

[@Groundeffected]

Not sure what you mean? Maybe it’s the part where I put gloss clear over it?

Dude you complain about how cold it is in your shop all the time.. Put a flippin space heater in there already. Im in Washington state and work out of my un-insulated with no heated 3d printer, just a space heater and my garage stays 70 all the time. Get a heater and you wont have to pay $1000 for a printer. My space heater cost me $50, thats a savings of $950

Dude it costs more than a printer to heat the shop in England, waay more than a printer

[@figuresix]

@@Groundeffected That sounds odd. I mean I dont understand how it would cost so much. I have a huge house with a full garage I work out of that I keep heated, and my electric bill is never more than $150 a month in winter. Its 37f today I guess that would be 2c to you, I guess your country rips ya guys off for electricty.

[@Groundeffected]

@@figuresix dude it’s uk 🇬🇧 they rip us off something terrible and since it’s a retail space I’m charged 3 times the usual cost for the same product no options at the moment either. We have the highest electric prices for real dude and my back room is basically open it’s got no insulation at all since I don’t own it I don’t really wanna spend a load of money repairing the owners building for him.

[@Groundeffected]

@@figuresix this months electric bill was equal to $160 and I only have the front light on and printers I don’t even light up the shop to try save costs. It will cost 10 bucks a day just to light the front of my shop never mind heat it. So heating is not an option that printer paid for itself within the first month literally
