How to Make a Resin Art Toy (3D printing process)

Time to make something in Resin instead of Vinyl! Here I show you the process I use to make my Resin Art Toys and the tools I need to create my characters. You will also see the 3d Printing process and my 3D Printer and the resin I use. Wait until the end!
Don't forget to leave your comment and questions. I will make a Q&A video in the future to help you all!
Wait for more Art Toy, Sofubi, and Vinyl Toy videos on the channel!

Thank you for watching them!

Super excited about this series of videos! I am just getting into making art toys, and we want to do small batch toys using a resin printer(vinyl is too expensive at this point), but we want to make them look and feel as close to Sofubi style as possible. I hope you can provide some insights on producing resin art toys, from design to painting and packaging!

[@artfabula]

I will definitely do it! Thanks for watching!

これは怪獣ですかね？ 造形がとても可愛い！ これがソフビになったら 絶対欲しい❤

[@artfabula]

そんな感じです。これは怪獣になりますね。きっと気に入ると思います。今、製作中です。来年にはソフビのおもちゃになる予定です。

I would love a full detailed video about the programs you use! ! :)

Noted!

Are you using heavy supports for the head? I don't know why I just can't get any successful print without hollowing the model, and even when I hollow I get some errors here and there :(

[@artfabula]

Yes. Try putting more time when curing the first layers so the base of the print is stable. It worked for me.

@@artfabula Hey thanks! I'm gonna try this out tonight :) I'm starting my art toy journey, so your videos are super helpful for me! Love your studio setup, btw I'm curious about how do you deal with the 3D printer fumes... People on the internet seem to be very concerned about that, so I put my printer on my courtyard just in case, but I'd love to keep it inside my studio.

[@artfabula]

Thanks. I'm slowly finding the best setup for my studio. Is like a complete system where everything must work with the other parts perfectly. I need to have a place for the camera, another place in reach for the paints, the mask, etc. I need to move as little as possible and be as efficient as possible. About the fumes from the 3D printer: I open the windows (when possible, as I live in Sweden) and I put two small air purifier machines that Elegoo sells inside the 3D printer when printing. I also have a cheaper air purifier from Ikea near the printer in the room. I close the doors and I'm never there when printing. I also use a half mask when cleaning the resin tank and the printed parts.
