How to make a 3d print look like aged gold

[@dekopuma]

"You'll know you have enough gold on it when it looks like you have enough gold on it" is a perfect way to describe it.

[@juandavidruizserna]

this is just fantastic, thankful i found this channel and your models, will print some of then and experiment on the painting, videos like this are a great way to learn painting (at least to a beginer like me)

[@FrenkMelk]

Excellent. I am making all the pokemen, and painting them thusly.

Great minds think alike

[@somebodyelseyoudontknow]

Amazing work my dude

[@elliotlim4823]

Its so cute!!!

[@alexjohnson9499]

Got a tutorial on how to add real texture on the 3d model? Thanks.

[@MihaiADrian96]

I can't wait for charmender, when are you gonna make a video about the gengar painting?

[@FilamentsFolly]

The Charmander is already available on the patreon. along with santa snorlax. I think Charmander will be out friday!

[@dalesalter6175]

So I’m curious what would happen if you didn’t paint it black first but left it the color of the filament?

[@FilamentsFolly]

You would not get that darker color it would be more yellowish white if you had used white filament. But if you used black i would look very close to this.

[@Matt-ek6bf]

Can you use this same technique to get a gunmetal type finish on a 3D print as well?

[@tayrex424]

I would assume

[@rustyv6274]

Will the rub and buff stay without spaying the base coat? I have a few spots I need it in on a pla print that’s already the color I want

[@eatsleepwithme5062]

question! What is your reason for using that kind of paint? Why not acrylics?

[@BigMikeMora]

At .12, what is printing speed set to? It has to take several days to print!

[@FilamentsFolly]

I think I did 40 mm, it took about 36 hours for me on fdm

[@mikes978]

How durable is this after it dries? Does it flake or rub off?

[@FilamentsFolly]

Use a gloss spray varnish over it when you're done. Any hardware store should have it

[@agmuntianu]

It looks amazing!. But the list of warnings on that rub&buff starts lite with skin irritation and goes all dark with organ failure :/

[@FilamentsFolly]

I guess I should have read that. But in all fairness a lot of paints have warning labels like that.

[@s0nofanarchy73]

You do realise that they have to account for the worst case scenario... there are no documented cases of organ faillure due to rubb 'n buff lol

[@satya_2156]

They intentionally keep the disclaimer as dangerous as applicable for legal purposes. Just so they can claim legal indemnity if someone tries to sue them.

[@xdjnoclux]

are you using an SLA printer?

[@FilamentsFolly]

This model is but I use both and I design for both.

[@xdjnoclux]

@@FilamentsFolly nice thank you for the quick response! I was like why does that look sooo smooth lol

[@FilamentsFolly]

@@xdjnoclux You can get these smooth if you use resin as a coating and leave it out in the sun but you will lose some detail. that is what i did for the Bulbasaur

[@BenniCatchem]

Do you sell these?

[@FilamentsFolly]

I dont but my patons do www.etsy.com/search?q=filaments%20folly&ref=auto-1

[@marioy0]

What filament did you use? Does the spray paint just stick to the plastic or is it a primer black?

[@FilamentsFolly]

I used sunlu white and gloss black (rust oleumI think), no primer

[@MassisPipes]

@@FilamentsFolly what settings though? Thingiverse says no supports but that can't possibly be right with those arms & chin sticking out?

[@FilamentsFolly]

@@MassisPipes oops i need to fix that. I printed him with normal supports, 5% zigzag. I also printed the FDM one at .12 layer height

[@TheLoFiLounge24]

Is there any alternative brands of this rub n buff? i cant really fint it i denmark or europe :(

[@biomassfreak]

that's really weird, I'm in NZ and I can find it at Gordan Harris, if you have that store

[@AdamMclardy]

I always print stuff I’m going to rubnbuff in black straight up

[@amarjargal1234]

Wwoooowwww...

[@lumi_arcs]

Sounds like a 16year old boy presenting in class Looks like manly-man if you see his arms xD I'ma print a gengar now, i like the design

[@FilamentsFolly]

Ya I got to get better and reading the scripts. I just started scripting the whole episode. The gengar is one of my favs!
